Chapter 21

Kenny's POV

"I can't believe that son of a bitch bit you like that!" Kevin exclaims as he examines my lip. He bit my lip hard enough to where I needed stitches. I had to get ten stitches.

"I know! That kiss was really creepy and it made me feel really uncomfortable." I tell him.

"Do you need me to kick his ass again?"

I shake my head. "Please don't."

"Why not?"

"I'm really trying to grow up Kevin. Part of my growth means not having my brother fight my battles."

"I understand that, but Stan isn't going to stop trying to intimidate you."

"I know, but I'm moving soon so none of this really matters. He won't be able to bully me or say mean things to me anymore."

"Did he say something mean to you?"

I nod. "He was making fun of me for being single and childless while everyone around me is getting married and having kids. He made a point to mention that my little sister is ahead of me in that department."

I can see the anger in Kevin's eyes, but then his face quickly softens. "I'm so sorry he said that to you. I know that had to hurt."

"It did, but he's right."

"He had no right to throw it in your face like that! What a prick!"

I nod in agreement. "Well once I'm out of here, I won't have to see him again."

"So what about Abby?"

I shake my head sadly. "He won't let me see her. He thinks I'm going to upset her if I tell her I'm leaving."

"That's really fucked up! Like he really gives a damn about how Abby feels."

"Yeah, but she's his daughter so it's his decision. Maybe when she's older I'll be able to have a relationship with her if Stan hasn't turned her against me."

"He's really fucked up for that!"

"Yes he is. I don't get why he has to be such a jerk! He wasn't like this when we were dating. I wish he were that Stan again. I can deal with that Stan."

Kevin looks at me for a moment. "Kenny...do you still have feelings for Stan?"

"What? No of course not!"

He raises his eyebrow. "Are you sure?"

"Why would you ask me something like that? I don't even like him as a person much less do I have feelings for him!"

"You said you wish he was the Stan he was when you were dating. That sounds like there are some feelings there."

"No! I just want him to be nice. He was nice and sweet when we were together. I don't know who this Stan is."

Kevin smiles. "Dude, you definitely still have feelings for him." He playfully rubs my hair. "It's ok if you do Sport! Just as long as you don't get back with him."

"I wouldn't do that."

"Are you sure? I know how much you want to settle down and start a family."

"Stan's already married with a family..." I remind him.

"So if he didn't would you want him back?"

"No. I'm not that desperate for a family."

"I'm glad to hear that. I was starting to worry about you for a minute there sport!" He rubs my hair again and laughs. "As much as I would like to see you settle down, I would never be able to accept you with that jackass!"

"You don't have to worry about that." I look at him and smile. "I really don't care about being in a relationship anymore anyway."

"You don't?"

I shake my head. "No. I need to focus on my career and getting my life together before I can even think about settling down. Besides, if I don't find someone, it won't be the end of the world."

"I'm surprised to hear you say this. You've always wanted a relationship."

"I've come to the realization that I'm single and I need to embrace it. I also need to work on myself and grow up some so if I'm with someone they'll see me as more than an immature little boy who needs to be protected. I wish I had realized this years ago before I got my heart broken twice."

Kevin puts his arm around me. "Come on sport, don't be so hard on yourself. Everyone matures at different times. You're just a late bloomer that's all."

"I'm 25 now so I need to act like it! I want to do it for me! I'm moving to a new city and taking a new job as a project manager. I can't act like an immature baby when things don't go my way, they'll eat me alive!"

He nods. "You have a point. You'll do just fine. Try not to lose too much of yourself while you're trying to mature. I still want a nice, sweet, sensitive, baby brother."

I glare at him. "Kevin, I'm not a baby..."

"Sorry. How about little brother?" I give him a dirty look. "Younger brother?"

"That's more like it! Or you can just call me Kenny!" I smile with confidence.

He playfully rubs my hair again. "Well you're always going to be "sport" to me whether you like it or not!" He laughs and I laugh with him. I kind of wish he would stop rubbing my hair though. It's something he's done to me since I was 3, he does it to Kam now so I think I've outgrown it. But I let him have his fun, soon he won't be able to do it anymore anyway.

Stan's POV

I'm at the police station, ready to make a full confession. The kids are with my mom right now. That might make the transition easier for them.

"May I help you?" A young cop asks me.

"I'm here to see Officer Thompson." I tell her.

"Sure, I'll see if he's in." She steps away. I sit down twiddling my thumbs out of nervousness. Moments later, she returns with Officer Thompson.

"Mr. Marsh, I'm shocked to see you here. Come into my office." I follow him back to his office. "So what can I do for you?"

"I'm here to confess..."

"Confess?

I nod. "I want to confess to the murder of Eva Parks…"

He looks shocked, but then he grabs a recorder and presses play. "Tell me everything, and don't leave anything out."

I take a deep breath. "Ok…I was out having drinks with Eva. We went back to her house and had sex." I think for a moment. "Then we had an argument."

"An argument about what?"

"Umm…she was upset because I'm still married. I told her my wife refuses to divorce me so we got into an argument. Eventually we stopped arguing and I went to sleep, but I still very angry…angry enough to kill. She went to take a shower, and the sound of the shower woke me up. I grabbed a knife and went in the bathroom and stabbed her in the chest several times, then I slit her throat." I shrug. "That's it."

He looks at me for a moment. "That's it?"

I nod. "Yes."

He turns off the recorder. "Are you absolutely sure about this?"

I nod again. "Yes sir."

"So why didn't you tell us this weeks ago?"

I shrug. "I guess I thought I could get away with it."

He shakes his head. "I really thought you were innocent. I actually believed you were innocent!"

"Well I'm not! I'm nothing more than a low life murderer! I killed an innocent woman and I deserve to spend the rest of my life in jail!"

He stares at me for a moment before standing up. "I hate to do this. Stand up please." I stand up and he puts my hands behind my back and takes out handcuff. "Stanley Marsh, you're under arrest for the murder of Eva Parks. You have the right to remain silent. Everything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney, if you can't afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning…"

Here we go…the first day of the rest of my life. I've officially been handcuffed and now I'm going to be booked. I'm probably going to end up spending the rest of my life in jail, but it will be worth it to keep Stan Jr. out of jail. I hate that now my kids are going to grow up without their father too, but there's no way in hell I would be able to live with myself knowing my innocent son is in jail…
