I didn't do it, I was framed. Just at the wrong place at the wrong time but I didn't do it. My name's Marc and I'm eighteen years old. It all started on prom night. My old man had forbidden me to go because he found out what gift I'd be unwrapping for my girlfriend, Melissa. I was fixin' to head out the window when I heard the phone ring.
"Oh, Hi Melissa." I heard down the hall.
I ran over to the door and pressed my ear against it.
"No, Sorry Melissa," dad continued,
"He already left."
I pulled on the doorknob. Locked! So I pounded and kicked on the door as hard as I could.
". . . They were all over each other," I overheard.
"Sorry Hon, Goodnight."
I'm gonna fuckin' KILL him!! I finally broke through my bedroom door and charged down the hall at him. I got a good clean blow across his head, leaving him on the floor, bleeding. I stood over him and screamed so many things I can't even remember. I stormed past my broken door, into my room and changed out of my tux. Grabbed a fake I.D., my dad's car keys and headed to the nearest pub. I needed to blow off some steam. As I drove, I examined my knuckles and noticed blood on my graduate ring. I stopped at my usual place and started off with a few shots. Near last call, a couple of tall, dark figures came into the bar. Before I downed my next shot, a hand forced me to put the glass down.
"Mark?" I heard behind me.
"Yeah?" I slurrily asked.
"You're under arrest for the murder of your father."
I stood up quickly, as sloshed as I was. I couldn't believe what I was hearing!!
"I DIDN'T KILL HIM!" I contradicted.
"Oh yeah, What's this?" one man said as he grabbed my hand and examined the ring.
"Me and my old man had a fight. I hit him," I explained.
"We heard the murder ourselves while your father was reporting his STOLEN car," the other man replied, picking up my keys.
"We had a fight, I hit him, I BORROWED the keys to let off some steam, Okay!?" I said sternly.
One of the men twisted my arm and cuffed me; speaking in monotone,
"You'll have plenty of time to explain, let's go."
I tried so hard to resist but I couldn't even stand on my own. They brought me down and gave me the police-booking rigmarole you see on television. I got myself a trial date and I was HOPING but I was moved to a prison quicker than I was booked. I DIDN'T DO THIS! But what am I SUPPOSED to do?! All the evidence pointed to me! I am so fucked.
