Ch The Chaos
The truth was just right there.
As I heard their conversation, my hands were shaking as I clutched my chest.
Memories of her killing me flashed through my mind.
My mother froze for a moment. However, she was overwhelmed by an explosive wave of emotion instead of realizing the truth.
“My daughter has gone missing after jumping into the river! I’m here to find her, not to listen to you slander her as a murderer!”
Officer John understood it was hard for my mother to accept reality as it was. So, he wanted to explain further, but she cut him off sharply.
“You guys still can’t distinguish right from wrong. Her sister is the murderer, not Angel. Angel jumped into the river. She did this because of you!”
At this point, Officer John was frustrated to hear that same old accusation over and over again.
“The blood report will be out tonight. Then, we’ll know whether Melissa is the victim!”
Then, Officer John stormed off.
After that, my mother fell to her knees and looked devastated. After a long silence, she started sobbing sadly.
“Why is it that both my daughters are dead, yet that murderer is still alive?”
‘No, Mom. That’s not the case.‘ I felt a tightness in my throat.
‘Yes, the killer’s still alive, but I’m long dead.‘
My mother was close to a breakdown as she sobbed uncontrollably.
