2 THINGS YOU DON'T HEAR EVERYDAY

I kept sobbing on our way to the station, I know I didn't kill Hannah but how do I explain the blood, the only thing I can remember was that someone or something hit me on the head and I passed out.

My ex had been stalking me for a month, sounds crazy but that didn't mean he was a serial killer.

As soon as we got to the station, I was thrown into a cell.

"What's is happening? I didn't kill Hannah!" I yelled at the Police Officer.

Bang! The door slammed at me as he walked away.

I slid on the floor and cried my eyes out.

I need a lawyer, a good one.

A few hours passed by but I hadn't heard anything, no one came to check on me, feels like I have been abandoned.

The place stinks, how do people survive here. It took a lot for me not to throw up here. I'm going to be sick, I said to myself.

I have to get out of here fast.

I have heard stories of people dying in the cell, how many people have died here in this miserable confined space.

Not to sound petty, but where are the rest of the people? Why was I in here alone?

The door creaked opened, yikes! I hate the sound of it, totally gives me the creeps.

A female officer sauntered in, where does she think she is? A runway show? I scoffed

"Do you have something to say to me?" She asked.

I stared into space and didn't answer her. No one was going to believe me anyway, so why bother?

"Who do you want me to call?" She asked.

I stared at her for a few seconds and then said, "my mum"

"Awww mummy's girl," she said mockingly and then added, "Does mummy know that her little princess is a murderer?"

Who did she just call little princess? Mummy's girl?

"Officer....." I looked at her tag "Tina, I am not a murderer, believe it or not," I said sulking

"Oh, you are not? "You were covered in blood and tried to escape before we got there"

"Escape?" I asked. What is she talking about?

"You were running out, remember?"

Omg! She must be crazy!

"I wasn't trying to escape, I was trying to get help"

"Yeah, yeah, tell that to the judge, I will call your mama for you and you better pray she picks up at first ring"

"Can't I talk to her myself?" I asked

Officer Tina scoffed and then asked "where do you think you are? London?

"Sorry Ma'am," I said

"Good! seems like you still have manners. For a second I thought you were just some spoilt brat. I'll let you know the outcome of the call" she said, gave a long sweeping irritating look before walking out.

I sat there for a long while with the hope that Officer Tina would return to give news on my mum but she never did. I guess my mum failed the test and didn't pick up at the first ring.

I forced myself to sleep but it was hard, anytime I closed my eyes, I would see my best friend's body lying at my kitchen door.

I wish the dead could talk, I would love to know who killed my best friend and dealt with them accordingly.

I'm not one to show emotions but for the first time in a long while, I cried in that police van today.

My best friend was gone, just like that. Part of me wanted this to be another round of those nightmares I have been having since I was a child.

How do I get myself out of this mess and get justice for Hannah? There must be a hashtag on Twitter already seeing that my neighbours recorded everything.

Well, that's my generation for you, everything goes on social media which means that it would be a lot more difficult for me to clear my name.

My parents are prominent people in society, and it won't take long before I'm linked to them.

Gosh! This is messier than I thought.

What time was it anyway? 3 am? Why didn't anyone check on me?

Tired of feeling sorry for myself, I started thinking of means to get out of here. Silently praying that my mum would be here later with a lawyer.

I didn't get to finish the thought when the door creaked opened again but this time, it wasn't officer Tina. Two hefty men walked in, oh boy, this doesn't look good at all.

"See am here, the girl wey kill im friend," one of them said to the other.

"Kai! officer Dona, see as fine girl don spoil her future for nothing"

.

Oh wow, there were police officers after all, which means I was in safe hands right?

"Shun that talk Officer Matthias, this one no her future but I know say she sweet well well, see as she set even for sleep"

"Dona Dona, you like women ehhnn and na convicts you dey like pass"

"Ehn na, dem dey free, no extra charges"

Omg! I laid there as cold shivers went down my spine.

This was not just disgusting but completely outrageous. Did he just say I was free? No extra charges? How many free women has he had his way with? Is that why I have locked up here alone? So two satan forsaken human beings would have their way with me?

I shut my eyes tightly that it felt like I would go blind and then braced myself ready to attack anyone that would take a step towards me.

I felt someone come close to me, oh wow, he was sniffing me. Can today get any worse?

I sat up immediately and then said in a stern voice " Eshhhh, don't you dare come close to me or I will scream"

Both of them laughed hysterically.

"Ah, feisty being, I like," Dona said smiling and revealing his ugly dentition.

" Don't, you were right oh, this on go sweet well well, see as she dey stubborn"

In a sleek of a moment, both of them pounced on me and started touching me inappropriately.

I kept screaming with tears rolling down my eyes, my top was ripped but I wasn't about to give up, I called out for help even louder.

Scared that they would be caught, Dona pressed his lips harshly on my mind to stop me from screaming.

This can't be happening, first I was accused of murder and now, I was going to be raped.

I felt my body giving in slowly as it seemed help wasn't going to come, this must have been properly planned out, but by who?

The next thing I heard was a loud crash, I closed my eyes tightly, totally freaked out, that's when I felt it like some heavyweight had been lifted off of me, I opened my eyes to check what the hell happened and then I saw Officer Matthew on the floor, whilst the other was pinned to the wall before a huge punch landed on his cheek

"Get out! Both of you" A female voice said

"Now!!!" She added.

All three of them left me laying there on the cold floor while I cried all night.
