After hours of driving, I finally arrived it.
"Juvenile detention." I whispered as I read the name of the juvenile where I am.
I walk inside the building and ask fro assistant.
"Hi, I wanted to visit Henry Caliesto." I said. "What are your relationship with the prisoner?" The guard asks back to me. "Uhm... I am his cousin." I lied since I know you can't visit someone if you are not related to them, so strict and I don't know why.
The guard nodded and he look through her laptop and search.
"Unfortunately you can't visit him." She said. "Why?" I ask. "His trial will be held three days from now on, adnw e have a policy that no visitors to a prisoner where their trial is in a week. Because there is a possibility that an escape plan will be held." She answered.
I got sad.
And an escape pan?
Their policy is may right, but the reason? Jeez, how can they escape when they can be arrested again?
If I went to jail, I will never try to escape as I will be responsible for what I've done.
"Okay. Thank you."I said and leave the building.
Jeez, I just wasted my hour by driving here from home to here in an hour.
I look around so maybe this time that I wasted, won't be such a waste at all.
Nothing's interesting in this place, so I just went to a restaurant near by here so I could eat since it took me hours to drive here and I'm sure that, that hour will be doubled when I will go back home since its near for the sun to set, means traffic are here.
After I ordered my food I immediately ate it and went back to my car.
When I got it, I was shock when I sat onto something, thinking that one of my personal belongins was there. I stood up again and look to my sit and almost drop my phone on the ground when I saw a printed paper there.
It was a picture of a man wearing balck hoodie that covers its whole face using the shadows that he has,, wlaking away from my house, and I am not so sure when did this take this photo, but I can feel that it is the night of Chase murder.
But if my guts is right and this was taken the night of the murder, then who that is?
Is this the person who killed Chase?
Wait!
If this is the person who killed Chase, does that mean that chase was killed inside my house?
Jeez, thinking about it gives me a creep, what else could I feel next if my thoughts are right about it?
Jeez, I just wanted to pray that Cahse wasn't killed on my house.
I quickly crumbled the paper and threw it on the ground, because like I said, it is in the past and I don''t want to dive in the past just to haunt me with the guilt that I have.
And even if it follows me, I will never going back to that past that I have.
After 3 hours of driving back home because of the traffic that stopping me to go back home fast, I immediately arrived my house.
It is already dark, it is already night, between 7-8 in the evening.
I opened my door and lay down on the couch as fast as I can since I am too tired to move and walk. I take a deep breath and didin't notice that I fall asleep.
I opened my eyes as the alarm clock on my phone keeps ringing on my pocket.
Jeez, I didn't realize I fell asleep.
I immediately get out of the couch and walk in the bathroom for me to pee, after doing that, I cook my breakfast and waited for it to be a delicious meal, after minutes of waiting, my breakfast is already cooked.
I went to the dining table to eat my breakfast when I opened my phone and saw the time there.
I almost choke up on my own food when I saw that it is already 6:30 In the morning, and I remembered Mr. Holland's warning to me that I should be at school before 7 since there is a new student transferring in our school and I'll be the one who is going to tour him.
"Fuck." I curse and instantly drink a water and put my left over food inside the fridge and run towards my bathroom for me to take a shower. Normally, it took me 30 minutes before I can finish my shower but now, I only did my shower for only less than a 5 minutes. I dress up and run towards the door for mee to leave my house, I start my car and start driving to our school.
It took me about a minutes before I finally arrived the school.
I smiled because I finally did it, I arrive school.
I look to my phone to see what time is it, but my happiness drop down to see that it is already 7:7 in the morning. I run towards the principal office where I can see that the new student is standing in front of the principal, facing him and I face his back. "Jackson." Mr. Holland said. "I am so sorry I am late Mr. Holland." I apologize. "Don't worry, he just arrived too." He said and look to the new student that I cannot see his face. "Hi." I greeted him, since he is a boy base on his muscular body and his short hair.
The transferee turned around and that is when I saw his face.
My eyes widened and my jaw literally drop, even the bag that I am holding fell on the ground as I drop it because of my surprise. As I can see him, as long as I look at me, that night keeps coming back to me, that night came back to ahunt me, my guilt came running back to me...
And it is all because this person in front of me, standing in front of me, is no other than...
