" What happened to you? " he asked.

The instant flash back of the gun exploding in my hand, danced before my eyes.

" You killed a man Lacey!"

"They are going to put you away for life! "

Shards of glass flew in every direction, making soft tinkling noises as they hit the ground.

" I can try to help you Lacey."

Please, let me help you! " concern edged his voice.

Blood pooled around the lifeless body.

" Don't say I didn't try. "

Blood reached my sneaker staining it a deep red.

Lacey for goodness sakes, answer me! " he yelled.

Cop cars blared in the distance. Every second that passed they got closer. I had no reason to run, I knew what I did.

" I'm so sorry Lacey. "

Handcuffs pinched my skin. As I silently slid into the backseat of the car.

My eyes fluttered open. Squinting from the golden light that traveled in from the cell block's window.
