Accidental Murder

Prologue

"DADDY NO!"

I wake to a start, sweat covering my back, and my breath coming out in short pants. I toss the covers off of me, and wipe the tears that are rolling down my face. The light on my phone is blinking, indicating that there is a new message. Shakily, I reach for my phone, trying to forget that re-occuring nightmare that is all too real. 

New text message

From: Jason

My heart rate picks up, and I squeeze my eyes shut. I should be happy that I am getting a text from my boyfriend. But I chose Jason for a reason, I deserve to be unhappy. 

I told you to call me at 10:30 bitch. You are going to get it. Call me when you this.

Tears start to brim on my eyes, how could I have been so stupid? "Ten minutes," I told myself, "I will just close my eyes for ten minutes."  I was just so tired, he gave me something before he dropped me off, put it in my water, he said "This will help with the pain baby. I didn't want to hit you baby, I love you so much. Call me at ten thirty."

I hear the phone dialling in my ear, and I hold my breath, waiting for the screaming to begin. "LAUREL I TOLD YOU TO CALL ME!"

I stay silent, knowing that if I speak, I will only cause more problems. 

"Who were you with? Were you cheating on me?"

"No." I whisper firmly.

He scoffs, "Your a liar. I knew you didin't love me."

I sigh, "I do love you, I was just so tired, I fell asleep."

"Sleep is more important than me now, eh? You just wait until tomorrow!"

The line goes dead, and I let my phone clammer to the ground.
