What Jenna is staring at right now is shocking, to say the least. She is completely confused and unable to comprehend. The fact that she is not the only one in the world who is aware of this secret truly amazes her. Not even her mother is aware of it. Who is this woman, and how did she find out? The woman walks in front of her, causing her to quiver uncontrollably. "I assume you were unaware of the fact that the victim you killed was Eric's elder brother, is not that right?" Jenna looks at her questioningly, her eyes wide and confused, as if she does not even know what to think. "In any case, the fact remains that I am aware of your secret and that I possess the authority to reveal it, forgetting about your mediocre connection with Eric in the process." Jenna looks at the woman with wide eyes and trembles as she replies with a devious smirk on her lips. Deep down, Jenna is hoping that Alex is not listening to her during this whole thing. Fortunately for her, Alex has already depar
Later that night, Jenna enters Eric's flat after getting her mother's okay to see him and speak with him briefly. Eric is relaxing on his sofa, drinking wine, and has a broad expression of delight on his face. His eyes widen as soon as he sees her, and Jenna can not contain the happiness she sees on his face. He lets go of the cup on the living room center table and gets up to approach her right away. "Hello there," he says with a broad smile and composure. He hugs her tightly and says, "I can not believe I am seeing you right now." She almost bursts into tears, but she controls herself. She inhales deeply, tries to smile, and gives him a cool hug in return. "I am very sorry I was unable to accompany you on the date." Eric smiles as she says in a calm tone. "It is school-related, isn't it?" He asks, and she sheepishly looks away from him while forcing a grin. Her heart was pounding so hard in her chest that she felt like she was about to burst, but the only thing on her mind wa
Jenna can no longer stand it. Observing and appreciating his stunning features did not even alleviate the problems. After what Fiona had told her, she even committed the grave error of having further intercourse with him. This will just make her situation worse overall. How in the world is she still here? Is not her life at grave risk if Fiona intervenes and finds out that she has to expose her body to him despite what she had just said? She quickly removes herself from Eric and gets dressed as quickly as she can. Then she pulls out a pen and tears out a small piece of paper from across the room, looking back occasionally to make sure Eric has not woken up and realized what she is up to. She inhales deeply before moving to the guest room, where her bags are kept. She packs them all without a word, making sure they are all in their proper places. After that, she scrawls something on the letter and leaves it in the dining room, where she knows Eric will see it. After all of this, sh
The instant she says that Eric stops and gives her a severe scowl. "Fiona, are you hearing yourself? I have told you that I do not want to hear anything about my deceased brother, so please get the hell out of my life. I do not want you to talk garbage and such lies about him again." Fiona feels a little uneasy with his angry appearance and his volatile temper, but she is not willing to give up on him. She can no longer stand Eric getting upset over that little, insignificant high school girl. She can not help but wonder what it is about her that fascinates him; it just appeared to take over her feelings, and every day she was losing it more and more. "It is getting to the point where I can no longer handle this, Eric, and you are so very dim and foolish to not even see this coming." I will not state that it was done on purpose, but I have told you what I know, and that is the real reason she departed. She killed your brother. When she was a little child, she disobeyed her father's
A few days later, two cops are standing next to Jenna as she stands in court beside the judgment cubicle, fully tied in her prison outfit. Her family and Eric's family are currently sitting in the court, and she can tell by the looks they are giving her that if they do not put some restraint on them, she will most likely be six feet by now if they can get their hands on her. She just wants to crawl under the ground because of the obvious rage in Eric's parents' eyes. She is aware that she can no longer endure this suffering. She is limited to crying and weeping in her current location. After Eric took his time to explain everything to his family, they were all very angry to learn that the person Eric had been telling them about as his new girlfriend, who was bringing him joy, was the one who had killed their firstborn son years prior and had kept the information a secret until now. Jenna can see the anger on their faces and knows she will never be able to interact with any of them
Jenna's mother is completely disoriented. For a moment, she wished she could just replace her daughter. She would not have truly liked receiving this for any one of her family. Nobody will be concerned about her daughter's 10-year prison sentence. The fact that she is merely a young girl in high school will go unnoticed. However, by all means, no one can truly consider eighteen to be merely a child's age. That is the age of adulthood. Given that she committed an error and truly had no idea what she was doing, it is only just that the judge was able to sentence her to ten years. The only people who are now supporting her are Jenna's friends Alex, Chloe, and Lily. They watch in horror as Jenna is led by two police guards from the court boot into a waiting prison van that will transport her to the prison. They are all looking at the scene in shock and are crying quietly. That their close friend would, for once, find herself in such a precarious circumstance is beyond belief for all
News of the entire episode quickly spread like wildfire, not only within the school but across the nation, completely upending Jenna's reputation. Any story pertaining to Eric Johnson's family is bound to go viral because everyone is familiar with them. The media has covered the entire story, including Jenna's pictures, and so many people's homes have TV screens showing it all. Everyone who has heard about Jenna is instantly reevaluating and changing their ideas about who they believe Jenna to be. Nobody can fully comprehend the circumstances; all they can say is that she is a killer because they saw her mentioned in the press as one. Even after all these years, it still shocks everyone that a young child would choose to carry out such a horrific deed and keep it a secret. Even at school, Jenna's reputation has been thoroughly destroyed and damaged. She is now the sole topic of conversation among the pupils. Those who had before considered her to be a wonderful person started to re
While Jenna is momentarily sitting, all she can do is cry uncontrollably, and the whole scene breaks Alex. He hopes he can only figure out a way to go through this glass, give her a big hug, comfort her, and let her know that there are still people who believe in her, even though the majority views her as a murderer. However, he is at a complete loss for what to do. He is powerless to just put an end to this and ease the anguish. He manages to wipe away a few tears that start to trickle out of his eyes. He shakes his head sharply. In reality, he was going to inform her that her mother had already been ill over the whole situation, but he was currently unable to accomplish it. Things are only going to become worse because of her incarceration, the news that she is the reason her mother is ill and her overwhelming sense of helplessness. What more can he do? He needs to find a solution to save this family from this predicament. He glances up at her before losing control and bursting in
