Leilani

Knowing how I was, I didn't completely get over it but I went on with life with a guilty conscience. It's hard to get over the fact that, your the cause of your own lovers death. May have been down that night especially but it didn't take long for me to just accept it. Just like it didn't take the police long to find out that I did it.

I knew I wasn't gonna get away with it but I didn't think they would find out it was me in a matter of days. Next thing I know, I'm getting arrested and siting in the back of a cop car a week later for the murder of Eric Howard.

It only made me worse when I wasn't talking. I don't fuck with the police like that. It's not their business to know what happened. What happened that night was between me, that dead body and that house that's now in ashes. Kei still didn't even know until they came for me.

"So your not gonna tell us why you did it? We know you did it but we wanna hear your side babygirl." One of the officers said licking his lips looking at me.

I instantly rolled my eyes. "If you know I did it then why the hell am I still sitting here. It's cold as fuck in here."

"We're just tryna get you to talk. You can have my jacket If you tell us something."

"Fuck that, it ain't that cold in here." I said taking my hands out of my shirt.

"Why are you being so difficult? Just tell us what happened." This bald headed ass nigga yelled at me. I looked around like 'who is he talking to'.

"Uhhhh better fix that shiny ass head and pop a couple breath mints before you raise your voice at me nigga. Im damn sure not gonna talk to you with that attitude, you can get up out my face with that." Just as I finished,  the door opened.

"Hey, I have her sister here." This other officer said letting Kei walk in. She looked like she hasn't gotten any type of rest.

They all left, leaving us alone. I just sat there looking at her and she stared at me back. We sat there for like 10 minutes until she finally said something.

"This is what you meant by 'What I did was for you' huh?" She chuckled shaking her head.

"You already know the answer Kei."

"Why? You loved him more than you loved yourself. It doesn't make sense to me."

"Your right, I did. But your my sister, you come before anyone. You should know that. Which means if I have to kill for you then I will." I shrugged my shoulders.

"But do you see where it got you? Your charged with Manslaughter Leilani." She was getting angry with me. "Because of this, now your gonna be behind bars. Not out here with me."

"Well then that means, you need to learn how to handle yourself without me." I grabbed her hand only for her to snatch it from me.

"No! I can't do this without you. It's not gonna be right. I need you with me. Why would you go and do something like that Lei?!" She yelled me.

"Kei how you gone just get mad at me when I did it for you. He probably would've found some way to do that wicked shit again." I yelled back.

"Beating his ass would've helped Leilani!! Electrocute that nigga or something, anything but kill him." She argued back.

"You know damn well all that shit wouldn't work for me. Murkin that nigga was best for us. You need to chill yo loud ass out." I barked back. I soon started getting heated. "Eric was my everything and I chose my sister over the man I loved. The man that I was gonna have a family with and build a  life with and I killed him for you to make sure you had no worries of him coming back and hurting you again. Do you not realize that the shit I did is eating me alive? I'm dying slowly and surely of guilt. I will never get his face that he made out of my head when his life was draining out away from me and your worried about me getting locked up. Stop being a fucking prissy little brat and be grateful that somebody had your back Keilani because I know damn sure nobody else got you like I do."

She stood here quiet, hopefully taking in all that I said to her. Soon then, the officers came in and put me in handcuffs.

"Let's go sweetheart." I walked out without even looking back.

If she was gonna be like that then so be it. She's too old to not know how to defend herself in certain situations. I always came to the rescue, that has to change sometime because we both knew I wasn't going to be around forever.

Couple weeks later... Day of final trial.

"May all rise." The judge said making everyone stop their sidebar and stand up. "Proceed jury. "

"We have come to a conclusion. We the jury find Leilani Carmela Washington, Guilty of First Degree Manslaughter." The stubby middle aged man pronounced making the whole court go into a roar.

I turned around to me see my mom having a fall out. My dad holding her tightly to keep her up. It broke my heart to see her go weak like that. I looked over at Kei, dressed exactly like me, with a face of guilt. We made eye contact, saying sorry to each other in our minds.

"Order in the court!!" Everybody jumped and was quick to be quiet

"I sentence here Ms. Washington to 36 years in Salinas Valley State Prison and 2 years of parole. This trial has exceeded." The judge banged her gavel and that was it.
My emotions were completely different from what I thought they would be. I didn't have much emotion at all. I felt blank. I knew this wasn't going to end well so it was just whatever. Funny how I went from a little precious preacher's daughter to a criminal so quickly.

"I'm sorry Leilani." My attorney apologized.

"Don't even worry about it. It was over from the start." He hugged me and packed up his things.

Just as the 2 bailiffs came around, they told me I could say goodbye. I took a deep breath and went up to my mother and father. She looked at me and cried harder, grabbing onto me for her life.

"Ma I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about all that, you did it for your sister. I know you'll be out in no time." She kissed my cheek many times before letting me go.

I hugged my father as he let his salty tears run down his face.

"Daddy I'm so-"

"Shhhh. It's okay, God has forgiven you. I'm not mad or disappointed in you at all. It was for your sister. Be good so you can get out early. I love you babygirl. I'm gonna miss you." He kissed me on my forehead and let me go.

Last person was Kei. She looked so drained. She looked at me and we just pulled each other into a hug.

"I love you Keilani. Be good for me. Finish school. College clearly wasn't for me but get that medical just for me. Do all the things we said we we're gonna do when we were little for me. Imma miss you cupcake."

"I will, Imma miss you too cookies. Stick it out in there for me so you can get lucky and get out early like dad said." She smiled as I wiped her tears. 

We said our I love yous and said goodbye one more time before they took me out of the courtroom.

Salinas Valley State Prison here I come.
