Little White Lies
.
Alex's POV
I was sat with Zack and Jack in the basement watching them two do homework since I couldn't be bothered and I was too busy thinking.
The basement door opened and Zack's mum came downstairs.
"Alex honey, the police are here to talk to you." She said.
"Again? They've already talked to Alex while he was at school." Zack said.
"Well they want to talk to him again." Zack's mum said and looked at me.
I sighed and got up and went upstairs.
"I've answered to the questions you have asked me." I said as I walked to the sitting room and looked at Tyler and his helper.
" Alexander Gaskarth your under arrest." Tyler said.
"What!?" I said completely confused.
"We have evidence against you suggesting you have a roll in your mothers murder." Tyler said and walked towards me and I backed away from him.
"What evidence is that?" I asked feeling a panic attack coming.
"Cut the bitch." I said as a tic but the police just looked at me.
"We'll explain when we get to the station now come with us." A police officer said and moved his hand which made me flinch away from him and sink to the floor and put my hands over my ears.
"Get away from him." I heard Jack say loudly and I felt his hands on my knees and I looked at him.
"What's going on?" He asked quietly.
"Their arresting me for doing nothing." I said and sniffed.
"Its okay, just go with them and we'll get you out of there." He said quietly.
"I haven't done anything though." I said.
"I know you haven't. Just answer the questions they ask you and they can't hold you if they can't get anything which fits the investigation." Jack said.
I shook my head.
"I don't want to go." I said and looked at Jack for help.
"You have to. You'll be back before you know it." Jack said and helped me up.
"No! Jack please don't! I haven't done anything!" I said loudly as I was dragged out the house.
I was put in this interview room pacing up and down with my hands behind me in handcuffs.
"Wanker, asshole." I said loudly as my tics got worse and worse because I was stressing put badly.
The door open and Tyler came in.
"I haven't done nothing! Why am I being treated like a criminal!?" I said loudly and walked to the table and sat in the chair and looked at Tyler.
"Care to explain this?" He asked and put something the came and I looked at it and looked at Tyler.
"Its not mine. I don't even know what it is." I said.
"Well Peter said that you helped in the killing of your family." Tyler said and I felt tears roll down my face.
"I loved my sister and my mum. I wouldn't kill them, I have an alibi anyway, I was at school." I said.
"Your mother was a drunk and did drugs. She hadn't all that long gotten out of rehab. You killed her for the amount of times she had abandoned you and your sister, you had enough and you just snapped." Tyler said.
"Yeah my mum wouldn't of won the best mum award but she tried despite of her addiction. I admit she was a failure but it doesn't mean I killed her. She kept saying she was going to try and get clean for me and my sister. She was almost a year clean and then she relapsed. I was so upset that she relapsed because for nearly a year I had my mum back. My sister didn't need to be scared of her. No matter how many times she relapsed I wouldn't think of hurting her." I said and looked down.
"You pretty much looked after your sister. Maybe you had enough of looking after her and you just stabbed her." He said and I flinched at his words.
"I didn't kill my mum or my sister." I said quietly.
"Your brother is in prison isn't he?" He said and I looked at him.
"He's in for rape and molestering a child. Isn't he?" He said.
"Stop. Stop talking about him." I said feeling more tears fall out of my eyes.
"No one knows when the child was. He never said anything about the child. All we know it was a boy of 7 years old and it stopped when the boy was 14." He said and I wanted to move my hand and put them over my ears but I couldn't.
"Stop talking about him! It was me! It was me who he raped! It was me who he molestered! It was me! Stop fucking talking about him!" I shouted loudly and stood up knocking my chair over and looking at him hard.
Tyler looked at me with pity in his eyes
"Stop. Just stop please." I said quietly.
"I'm sorry." Tyler said and I sighed and walked over and sat in the corner and rested my head against the wall.
"I wanted him to stop. I begged him to stop but he kept going and going." I said quietly and sniffed.
"I swore to myself that if I had a sibling then I was going to protect them at all costs. Guess I did a shit job since Erica is dead." I said and wiped my nose on my shoulder.
"The weapon was my brothers. He used to hold me at knife and sometimes gun point. Guess Peter found his hiding spot and used it to kill them." I said and looked at Tyler.
"I was at school when the police called and I came straight home and found my sister injured and I went up to Peter and shouted at him what he had done bit he didn't say anything. I couldn't go with my sister so I found a different way to the hospital and that is where I stayed until my sister passed. Now can I go home now. I want to be at home and on my own." I said and Tyler nodded and I got up and Tyler took the hand cuffs of me and I brought my hands round in front of me and rubbed my wrists which had red marks on them from the hand cuffs.
"Do you need a lift home?" He asked and I shook my head.
"I need to clear my head first." I said quietly and walked towards the door and walked out the room.
It was late when I got home.
Jack was sat on the stairs and he pretty much ran over and pulled me into a big hug which I returned and rested my head on his shoulder and felt some tears roll down my cheeks.
Jack pulled back and I looked down straight away.
"Why you crying?" He asked and made me look at him as he wiped the tears away.
"Everything I want to forget keeps on coming into my head, I can't relive it Jack. I'm not strong enough to go through it again." I sniffed.
"I'm here if you need to talk about it." Jack said and kissed me softly which I returned.
I just looked at him and smiled and moved and kissed him harder which Jack returned and I pushed him towards the basement.
