Unforgiveable

Explanation

                                                                               Crissy's Pov :

What in the world is really going on here. Was I really about to have s*x with a murderer. This cop just shows up to my house showing me a photo of Marquan and says that he killed his family yet Marquan says he was there but he didn't do it. I'm really just lost for words right now. There isn't much he can say he just needs to get the f**k out.

                                                  " Marquan just leave please there isn't an explanation in the world that you could give me that would make you any less innocent. You were still there when that mans family was killed. You were an accomplice," I said angry and agitated. My head was swimming with thoughts that I couldn't even keep up with. This s**t was a nightmare. I mean I knew committing adultery would come with some type of consequence but did my life being in danger have to be one of them?

                                               " Listen if you would please just give me 10 minutes to explain I promise I can change your point of view on this. It's really not what you think. Please Crissy 10 minutes and I can clear this up for you." said Marquan pleading with me on his knees.

                                                " 10 minutes," I said taking a seat and folding my legs and arms. This better be f*****g good.

                                              " Okay a few years ago before I came back to the states I lived in Jamaica. I was dealing with so much from my family disowning me because I didn't want to take over the family business and I kept getting into trouble. They wouldn't give me any money to support myself so I left. Figured things would be easier for them and myself if I just got out of their way. I went to Jamaica illegally, I didn't have a passport because in high school I caught my first felony. So when I got there I found someone who could make me a fake i.d I could live under. Marson Camp. I winded up becoming friends with the guy who made my i.d it was Jackson. Brian was actually Jackson's cousin. Eventually I started partying and doing drugs with them. For me that was the best time I had had in a long time. So one day we got a visit from our local drug dealer and he claimed that he hadn't been paid in a month. It was crazy because I was giving Jackson and Brian the money for my share of the drugs. I talked the drug dealer into giving us a week to pay him. It was either get his money in a week or we'd be dead in a week. Brian came up with this idea to rob as many people as we could until we came up with the money." said Marquan nervously. I was starting to believe him. Even though I had just had everything sprung on me out of no where I didn't think Marquan would lie to me.

                                              " How much did you owe Marquan?" I asked hesitantly.

                                               " 10,000 dollars. So we started robbing people. It was fine up until the night we got to Ajoni's house. Jackson and Brian decided to do drugs that night. The plan was to go in and rob them at gun point like we had done at all the other houses and then flee the scene. At all the other houses no one was prepared to come up against the person with a gun. We broke in the house by picking the lock. Crept upstairs and ordered everyone to go downstairs single filed. At this point the only people we saw was Ajoni's wife and son. As Jackson and I was rummaging through there stuff to find money or anything we could sell Brian was holding the wife and son at gunpoint. Next thing we know Ajoni flew out of the bathroom downstairs behind Brian and they struggled over the gun. The first shot went off. It hit Ajoni's wife right in her temple, she died instantly. Ajoni ran over to his wife crieng screaming "wake up wake up "but she was already gone. Then Brian did something I would have never thought he would do. He shot the son in his chest. He was going to shoot Ajoni as well but the gun jammed. I guess when he shot the wife he felt like leaving a witness wasn't an option anymore. When that happened we all ran out of the house as far away as possible before the cops showed up. I swear to you Crissy I had no idea that Brian was going to do that. I think it's because he was on drugs. So after that night we were still about 3,000 dollars short from paying off the dealer. When we gave them the 7,000 they shot Brian. He died as an example of what was going to happen to us if we didn't come up with the other 3,000. I called my parents and told them people were trying to kill me. Of course I didn't tell them everything but I told them just enough for them to come and get me. I don't know how they did it but they did and I moved to Virginia with them. So I understand if you don't want to deal with me anymore but I swear I didn't kill anyone. I mean I know it was wrong to rob people but I knew I couldn't get the money from anyone else. I felt like I had no choice if I wanted to live." said Marquan with tears in his eyes. I knew he was telling the truth I felt nothing but raw emotion during this whole conversation. I mean yeah he was wrong for stealing from people but I can't say I wouldn't do the same thing if I was in his situation. I mean he didn't kill anyone and that made me feel a whole lot better.

                                                " Let's just go to bed Marquan and we can talk about how to handle this in the morning. Let's just hope that man doesn't get the law to get involved any time soon." I said exhausted and upset and ultimately shaken still.
