Please state your name and age for the recording." the voice droned. The boy looked up and he had his arms crossed. He was leaning back on his chair with his eyes closed slightly.
"I'm Reginald Hamilton and I'm eighteen." the boy told the voice as he clutched into the seat.
"Your relationship with the victim?" the voice continued.
"She was my sister." Reginald explained as he looked around.
"What happened?" the voice asked again. Reginald sighed and rolled his eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reginald was sitting on the table beside him sat Freddie.
"So why'd you call me here for?" Freddie asked with small grin. Reginald looked at the younger man.
"I need your advice." Reginald told him, Freddie nodded slightly before he looked back up at his best mate.
"Should I propose to Peggy?" he asked making Freddie's eyes widen. He turned to Reginald but he sighed and nodded.
"You do it mate, go with what you want to do." Freddie replied though it was obvious he was displeased with the fact Reginald was going to propose to her.
Reginald lay on his bed that night holding the ring box to his chest. He had his eyes closed as he was deep in thought.
"Alright. I'm gonna do it!" he mumbled to himself.
"So why'd you call me over? Is there something wrong? Are you breaking up with me?" Margaret asked as she and Reginald sat oppersit each other at the table, the both of them were looking into each others' eyes.
"No, I called you over because of this..." Reginald told her before he held out a ring box. Margaret's eyes widened in shock. Reginald then opened the box to reveal a beautiful ring.
"Will you marry me, Peggy?" Reginald asked, Margaret was frowning slightly but she looked up.
"Reggie I...." but she never got to finish the sentence before Madeline burst into the room.
"Okay, Reggie I've called the cab for...what's going on here?" she asked her eyes taking in the scene in front of her before they widened.
"No! It's not what it looks like!" Margaret shouted out, hurt flashed across Reginald's face.
"It totally is! You were proposing! You were dating my brother without telling me!?" Madeline snapped as she rounded on Margaret. She shook her head.
"No! Maddie, please listen..." Margaret tried but Reginald cut her of.
"I think you should leave, Peggy." he told sounding hurt and betrayed. Margaret left without a fuss and Madeline glanced at Reginald before she ran to her room.
The sound of throwing up filled the air at school. Madeline entered the girls toilets and pulled a disgusted face.
"Hello? Whose throwing up in here?" she asked and she came to the cubicle to see Margaret leaning by it and throwing up into the toilet. She then turned slowly and Madeline backed up a touch.
"Maddie...I'm pregnant." Margaret told Madeline in a weak voice. Madeline stood stock still for a full minute her eyes wide with shock.
"It's his isn't it? It's my brother's." Madeline told her. Margaret nodded at her and Madeline let out a cruel laugh.
"He's not going to look after it. So get a abortion. Save us all the trouble." Madeline explained but Margaret shook her head.
"No! He'll look after it! I know he will!" she told Madeline with confidence. Madeline laughed again.
"Well don't come crying to me when he doesn't want anything to do with the baby!" Madeline snapped and she left. Margaret sunk to her knees and began to cry. Elizabeth walked into the toilets and she glanced at Margaret on the floor.
"What's up Peggy Friday?" she asked after she bought up the courage to speak.
"I'm pregnant with Reginald's child." Margaret cried. Elizabeth stood stock still her eyes wide.
"Oh..."
Reginald was sitting on his own when Margaret came over to him. They were at his house. He glared up at her slightly.
"What do you want?" he snapped. Margaret ignored his tone and sat down next to him. Reginald looked back at her frowning slightly.
"I have something really important to tell you, Reggie." Margaret told the boy making him look up at her with a frown.
"And what's that." Reginald stated glaring straight ahead. Margaret took a deep breath and she looked up.
"I'm pregnant, and it's yours." Margaret finally spat out. Reginald froze and his eyes widened he then slowly turned his head to Margaret.
"I want you to get an abortion." he told her making Margaret's eyes widen shook her head at him.
"No! I won't!" she cried and Reginald growled he grabbed Margaret's face and held it there.
"It's my child. Now get an abortion." he snapped his eyes narrowed in anger but Margaret shook her head at him.
"It's my baby as well. I'm not going to kill an unborn child." she snapped. Reginald stood up and towered above Margaret.
"When I say get and a abortion I mean it! I swear Peggy...." Reginald warned his fists shaking as he held onto then tightly. Margaret also stood up glaring at him.
"Never!" she snarled. Reginald cried out in anger and slapped Margaret across the face making her stumble back, while clutching onto her cheek. She looked up at Reginald with wide fearful eyes. Just as Madeline rushed into the room. After hearing the sound of flesh against flesh in her room. She looked at Margaret who was clutching her cheek and then at Reginald who looked furious.
"Don't you dare slap her! You should never slap a pregnant woman!" she cried in absolute fury. Reginald then turned on her. He slapped Madeline across the face making her stumble back while holding her cheek. Reginald's eyes widened when he realised what he's just done to his sister.
"Maddie, I..." he started as he stepped towards holding a hand out but Madeline backed away from him. Her eyes bright with hurt and fury.
"Out! Get out!" she screamed at him pointing at the door. Reginald hesitated.
"Maddie, please. I..." Reginald tried again but Madeline screamed even louder.
"I said get out!" she yelled. Reginald winced and ran out of the the house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So you hit the victim and her friend because you found out her friend was pregnant?" the voice asked Reginald. He sighed and nodded slightly.
"Yes." he mumbled there was silence for a moment.
"We're going to hold you further questioning. You may go. Next!" the voice shouted Reginald got up and left the room. A ginger girl then took his place on the seat. She looked out and into the darkness.
