I spent all of last night pacing up and down the cell that I had been taken to; working myself up into frenzy. I was so enraged... but I am so sure that I didn't kill him... I am not a murderer... I hope. I couldn't believe that an upstanding member of the community such as myself, and only at the age of nineteen had been arrested for murdering my boyfriend... well, ex boyfriend. I desperately tried to drag my memory back to the moment when I fled... but I came up with nothing. I had my rights read to me last night. I don't really remember the whole speech they gave me; just the following two things: a lawyer would be appointed to me by the court if I could not afford to hire one myself and that I was entitled to one phone call... Now that I had calmed down a bit, I knew exactly who to call... And with a deep breath, I asked the guard to lead me to the phone so I could dial her...
Date: 19/12/2011, Time: 6:05am, Location: Sykes and Co Law Offices... (Ameila's P.O.V)
"Ring... Ring..." The sound of the phone rang aggressively throughout the Sykes and Co Law offices. Eventually, after the fifth ring, a young woman staggered out of the room, looking like she had been listening to heavy metal music... all night. Though with her current state, she would have preferred that to what she had been doing, which was decidedly less enjoyable; and that was studying these intimidatingly large law books that she had forced herself to study in great detail. She had studied them so much... that had she ended up falling asleep at her desk; her head resting on the three hundredth page of the one she was in the middle of; she still wasn't exactly sure at which unholy hour this had taken place.
Over five months ago, twenty year old Amelia had finally passed the bar exam, thus finally achieving her dream of becoming a defense attorney like her mother, Lana Sykes. She and her mother had been on their own for as long as she could remember. She knew that her father was alive, but had left them when Amelia was a baby. She had never bothered to try and track him down, as she felt that anyone who could abandon their wife and baby daughter was a waste of space. With a rather loud, prolonged yawn, she leant over and picked up the phone, and said:
"Hello?... Amelia speaking?" She stated in a rather irritated tone.
"Heh, can't you even be nice for your best friend?" Came the wiry chuckle of Solana. Amelia and Solana were childhood friends, having been introduced to one another at nursery school, and were still friends even now they were adults.
"Sheez... it's early in the morning... what do you expect?" Amelia retorted.
"Look Millie... it is serious... I... need you" Solana replied... her voice almost starting to crack again.
"Wait... what's wrong... tell me what's happened!" Amelia exclaimed.
And with that, the whole sorry saga... (okay, maybe not the whole of it... just what she knew) came out...
About ten minutes later... They both fell silent. After a few moments of this... Amelia spoke up...
"Sit tight friend... I will be there soon..."
"Thanks... I... oh... I have to go..." Solana replied, as she was forced to relinquish the phone back to the guard.
After this, Amelia sat down at her desk, now fully awakened. She was truly troubled by her best friend's plight. She knew what she had to do... Within about twenty minutes, she had gotten dressed in her usual courtroom attire, which was a black blouse and full length black skirt, with white heels. She carefully studied herself in her full length mirror, and adjusted her shoulder length snow white hair, which flowed freely down her shoulders. She then began heading out of the door, intending to grab a coffee on her way to the detention center. As she left, she took one last look at her office; which looked like a bomb had hit it, but it would have to wait for now. There were more pressing matters at hand...
