Next day
(Y/N pov)
I have been sitting in my cellar... Staring at the wall as if the wall itself is interesting. Waiting for death to pick me up. Waiting for the guards to call me for my death. To take me to death.
Suddenly I heard the door lock click as it opens. I turned to see the new detective.
"Come on. *smiling widely* u r free"
"What do u mean? " I say standing up.. Confused as ever.
"Evidence has been turned in. It proves that u r innocent." *smiles*
I just stare at him. Taking in what I just heard.
"Come on now. I believe u would want to talk somewhere else rather than here. *smiles* " saying this he went out.
I didn't know what to do. So I just followed him.
We came across a desk. It must be his.
"Come on. Sit down. I believe you'd want better explanation "
I said nothing and sat down as I was already tired. I can't believe that I came out of that hole. When a sec ago , I was preparing myself for the death I didn't deserve.
"So.. Let me clear it. Amy didn't kill him. We know that u tried to cover for her thinking she killed him."
"What? Wha... Then who killed him?" *shocked*
"His step-sister . Turns out he raped her. She heard ur threat and used it as advantage."
(Third pov)
Y/N just sat there in disbelief. Hiding her face with her hair.staring down.
"Why"
"Sorry?"
"Why now... After all this time.."
"Oh.. L never stopped."
Right that moment , she snapped her head towards him.
"L never stopped . He kept trying to find anything at all to prove ur innocence. "
Tears came out of her eyes. If she hadnt been in jail... If none of these happened... She couldve hangout with him. She wouldnt have to suffer so much.
She began to cry . She wanted to stop but she couldnt. All of this.. All covers... Was for nothing. She covered for someone elses crime.if she knew her frnd didnt do it.. She wouldnt hv been preparing to die a while ago. She cried and cried.
(Y/N pov)
I couldnt stop the tears that threatened to come out. I couldn't believe. All of things I did.. I could've died bcuz of someone else's crime for no reason. I could've died.
The detective must have left me alone. I've been soo lost in thoughts that i didnt hear the door open.
Suddenly i felt someone wrapping their hands around me. My eyes widened at the sudden movement. I was about to confront when I suddenly heard...
"It's okay. It's over now. U r safe. "
Hearing these sweet whispers from him, I broke down into tears even more. I clung into him as if my life depends on him.
"Shh.. Shh... It's okay. "
After some while of cuddling and crying, I finally stopped crying. But he still didn't let me go. There was an unknown silence in the room. But it wasnt bad. It was somewhat comforting. Then he broke the silence..
"I know its the wrong time to say this. But.. I love u, Y/N"
My body went stiff as i heard those words.
" i want you to be a part of my life. I want us to be together"
I couldnt believe my ears. I said the very thing i've been wanting to say.. The very thing my heart wanted...
"I love u , L"
