chapter is about the visits. The next chapter will be Simon's thoughts
after everyone leaves that night.
The Only One
Chapter Five:Why Don't You Believe Me?
Ruthie ran inside followed by Matt and Mary who were holding the twins.
"Did you see him?"
"Not yet Ruthie, we were about to though," Eric said.
Sgt. Micheals led them to the cell but before they went in Matt pulled Eric
aside to talk.
"What did they tell you?"
"His prints are on the gun and the gun was found next to him."
Matt didn't say a word. They walked over to the others without a word.
Deena was sitting next to Simon and everyone else was standing there in
silence. Matt walked over to Mary.
"They found his prints on the gun," he whispered.
Mary's mouth dropped open in shock.
"I can't take this. Mom I'm going to take Sam and David home."
"Thanks a lot they were starting to get restless," her mothere replied.
"I'll go with her," Matt vollunteered.
Matt and Mary got up and left.
"Why do they think you did it?"
"Because they have good evidence against me Ruthie."
"What kind of evidence?"
"Lots, Norton did a good job of framing me."
"What do you mean?"
"I didn't shoot him, he shot himself."
"Oh."
There was silence again. Eric thought of something Simon had told him once.
He told him that he could lie but he didn't have to. I wonder if he meant
that? I want to believe him because he's my son but there's so much
evidence against him.
Simon looked at his parents faces.
"You don't believe me do you."
"Simon it's just-" Eric started.
"Fine just leave, go I don't want you here if you don't trust me."
Eric and Annie turned around.
"Bye Simon," Ruthie said.
"Bye Ruthie."
After they left Simon started to cry.
"I can't believe this. My own family doesn't believe me."
"I believe you Simon," Deena said and hugged him.
"Really."
"Of course I do."
"You're the only one. What's going to happen to me? If my own family
doesn't believe me I can't expect a jury to."
"I don't know but it'll work out."
"How do you know?"
"Because if something's meant to happen it will. You aren't meant to be
here, you don't deserve it."

That night at dinner everyone ate silently. The only noise was the
silverware clanking against the plate. The phone rang.
"I'll get it," Ruthie said and got up.
"Hello,"
"Ruthie this is Lucy. What's going on?"
"Do you wanna know what I'm supposed to know or what I'm not supposed to?"
"Tell me everything."
"Well Simon's prints were on the gun but he says that Norton shot himelf.
Mom and Dad don't believe him so he yelled at them. Then we left and that's
all I know."
"Oh my God, Ruthie tell Mom and Dad I'll be home on the next flight."
"Ok, bye."
"Bye."
Ruthie hung up and walked into the dining room.
"Lucy says she's coming home on the next flight."

Ok the next chapter is going to be Simon's POV. It'll probably be short.
Read and review!!!!!!!!
