[Alyssa's POV]

It's been 3 days since we've been caught... I am locked up here in our house...

I mean their house... Tony's family's house.. which I am not a part of..

..But Mum's here.. I think I should spend some time with her before I'll be locked up in jail. Just a few more days I think.. and then they'll put me into jail.

I wonder how James is...

.. Is he alright?

I know that he is at a hospital.. and I couldn't find a way to sneak out, there are police out of our home... I mean Tony's home.

I also wonder if Dad is in jail now... He's an asshole... I wish he's locked up.

*thomp* *thomp*

I hear loud thomping outside my door

Then...

"Alyssa.. The Detective's here, She have an important news." Mum said while she hurriedly opened the door.

"What? ... About James?" I asked Mum.

"I don't know. Just go down." Mom closed the door and hurriedly went back down.

Why is she here? Is she locking me up? Well I can't wait. I have to get out of here.

I went down and the detective and Mum was talking seriously. I really think they'll be locking me up now.

I really wish.

"Alyssa.. don't just stand there, sit down here." Mum said.

"Fine." I replied to her.

I sat down next to Mum ... and looked at the detective, she was serious...

Then she smiled... what? Why?

She makes me uneasy

"Uhm Detective Teri has a good news for you." Mum lightened up and smiled to me.

"What?" I was puzzled.. Is James and me off the hook? Are we not going to lock us up? That's better!.

"Ahh Mrs. Gwen.. I guess I should be the one telling her this..." She said to Mum.

"Alyssa.. you could be off the hook.. just help us." She looked at me and said this.

"What? I can't understand..." I was quite troubled here.

The detective looked at Mum then looked back at me.

"James have admitted his crimes. All we need now is a prime witness. And that is you." She said to me.

What? James admitted his crimes? ...

But we did those things together... I was the one who convinced him to join... I was the one who made him kill the guy... I was the one who did those crimes.. He just protected me...and now he's still protecting me?! No! I can't let him do that anymore!

"No!! I don't want to be a witness! Because I am not one!" I shouted at her and ran towards my room..

Shit! I have to cry now... why james?! ... why!?

[Gwen's POV] (Alyssa's Mum)

I was told by the detective that Alyssa can evade any prosecution if she becomes a witness... but I knew Alyssa doesn't want to be a witness...

But this is for her sake...

I have to do something.

"Uhm Detective Teri." I called out the detective before she leave.

"What is it Mrs. Gwen? ...If your daughter doesn't want to be a witness... we have to press charges on her." She replied.

"What if she wants to be a witness? I'll change her mind and I'll try everything." I will do everything for Alyssa's sake.

"I'll give you time. Just make sure that she changes her mind before the trial starts against Mr. James." She said to me while walking out the door.

"I will change her mind. I'll make sure of it." I'm quite happy that she's saved.

"Just report at our office... So I can put her under the witness protection program." She shouted as she started the engine and drove off.

Alyssa has finally a chance... I just wish she doesn't blew it.

[Alyssa's POV]

I wish James was here to cuddle me...

. No! I am angry at him!

He admitted a crime that he hasn't done!

"UGGH!!!" I screamed in frustration while crying.

Why James?! What are you thinking!?

Why would you do this to me?

Well I won't change my mind.

If he's going to jail then I will also too.

Nothing will change my mind.

Nothing!

*knock* *knock*

Urggh! Someone's knocking at my door...

Probably Mum.

"I told you Mum! I don't want to be a witness!" I scream at her.

"I know dear... Just please consider it." She said while trying to open the door.

"I won't Mum!"

"Just please open the door. Let's talk about this!" Mum replied while banging on the door.

"Alyssa! Hey!... Open the Door!!!" Mum angrily continued.

"I won't!" I replied to her.

"Alyssa! For once! ...Please don't be selfish!" Mum cried and left.

I don't know what to do. I have the chance to get away with it... but what about James? ... but he already admitted the crime just by himself...

I don't care...

I'll be locked up ... because I want to be.
