Mako's Message: As much as I loved the reviews from last chapter, none of you are allowed to say, "I didn't see that coming" or any variation. Doing so will make me think you're not paying attention. And that'd make me sad.

That said...hope you like this one.


Holy. Fucking. SHIT.

This has turned into a goddamn circus. Everybody seems to want to get a piece of the story about the little girl hat killed her family. It's fucking national news now.

Okay, well, she only killed her dad. Not that she didn't make a serious fucking attempt on her older brother. But it's close enough for the sensationalists.

Of course, that's not actually good news here. She would have been better off if she'd succeeded in killing her brother no matter which way you slice it. And she really did do it. Even if the cops hadn't found her covered in blood and carrying the murder weapon her brother's testimony would have been enough to prove that.

Some idiot even tried to peg her as being Hit Girl. That didn't last long though. First, there are enough photos and videos of me online for it to be pretty clear that Jessi is too tall. Not to mention eyewitness accounts. Then there's the fact that the only thing the guy had to try and connect the two, was that they figured out that Jessi was supposed to meet the guy I cut up and strung up(who is in jail now, btw. The police found his pedo porn in a box at the back of his hidden closest of depravity). They tried to connect the knives, but of course they couldn't. And then there was the eyewitness that saw Jessi come to the apartment while the cops and medics where there and then run off crying.

Fortunately, it looks like she's got an insanity verdict in the bag.

It also helped that she was also claiming self defense because they'd...

Jesus. You'd think this wouldn't be so hard for me to write.

Jessi's father and brother have been raping her for the last three years.

I'm a terrible friend. I can't believe I didn't do anything. I mean it's not like we didn't know things weren't all peaches and roses at home but we didn't even bother to try and find out what was wrong. Angela and I KNEW something wasn't right, but we just...we didn't do anything. We just...acted like everything was normal. Just like Jessi was.

Goddammit. She was one of my best friends and I didn't do shit to save her.

Some superhero I turned out to be.


Jessi Fact: As some of you may have noticed, Jessi isn't particularly smart. This is not only another reason for her admiration for Mindy(who is two grades above her age group), but another point of contention between her and her fantastically abusive family, and part of the source of the "good for nothing but" comment she made in 152 which she regularly received from her father.
