He was supposed to be the clean freak. So why am I scrubbing blood off the floor? Why is there blood on the floor? “It was him. I didn’t know. It was him, and I didn’t know.” I mumble.
I scrub harder and harder but the stain remains. The burning in my shoulders trickles down to my wrist. By now they’ve started to cramp up. “I didn’t know.” How could I have known? Tears fell down my face. If I don’t get this stain up, I’m screwed.
The loud banging on the door startles me. “Just a minute!” I yell. I jump to my feet and race to find anything that will do the job. The banging started again, for a second, it synched to the pace of my heart rate. “Just give me a minute.” My voice was harsh this time. I can’t help but panic when I realize nothing can help me.
“Just shut up!” I cover my ears to block out the sound but that doesn’t help either. “I didn’t know.” I shake my head. “I didn’t.” A hand forces me off the ground. A scream erupts in my throat, I thrash as they drag me away.
I didn’t do it.
