"Last week, a young girl, Jessica was pushed off of a cliff by her older brother's girlfriend, Chloe. Chloe had not been reported of any drug usage or odd behaviour before the accident. Jessica's family was relaxing by a cliff, when Jessica decided to take a better look from the edge of the cliff. She asked Chloe to go with her, and when they got there, Chloe suddenly rushed forward and shoved Jessica off. Chloe was sentenced to juvenile hall for one month, until further notice, after turning herself into the police today morning. Right now, we have Jessica's grieving parents and older brother here with us..."
The reporter passed the microphone to Ma.
Ma was sobbing.
"Oh, Chloe...I didn't know...I didn't know that she would ever do something like that. Chloe has always been a really good girl. Caring, good grades, oh, she was the sweetest..."
She took a deep breath and started sobbing and sniffing.
"Jessie, Jessie, oh...Jessica...I miss her so, so, so much. I loved her more than anything in the world..."
She sighed and rubbed her eyes.
"I'm so sorry, I wasn't able to get any sleep last night, or for the whole week, really...Jessica was such a good girl. She was only 12, and hadn't actually experienced anything, yet. She was lovely...I remember...nevermind. I really can't continue, please let my son talk, I'm sure he knew Chloe much better than any of us. I'm so sorry...I'm so sorry I can never be a help, even to my dear daughter..."
She made an inhuman sound that sounded like a scream, gasp, and groan at the same time. Pa quickly ushered her away and I heard them whispering to each other, weeping on each others shoulders. The cameraman turned to face me.
I blinked twice and just stared at the lens reflecting my pale face with all the creases and deep eye bags. Finally, I glanced at my mother and father's hunched backs, taking in a shaky breath.
"Um...So, hey, I know you're there Chloe, and I know that you're probably sulking at the wall or something. I don't know what life is like in there, but hold...hold on tight? Is it? I don't know. Chloe, they're gonna help you find out why you did that. I know Chloe, I understand, you didn't mean it. But, please, you have to understand to. Chloe, we all love you, but we hate what you did back there. Chloe...I know you must feel really depressed, but...we didn't cause any of this. You did. You. Did. This. I still can't believe this...All this garbage, I just can't believe it," I groaned, and the camera turned away to face the reporter once more. These lies. How were Ma and Pa handling this so well?
