TW: Mentions of murder.
Ashley
I followed the police officer up to Becky's room, I felt uneasy. Every step we took closer to Becky the more unstable I felt, each time I saw an officer my heart practically stopped. I'm the guilty one and that's all I can think about, Randy is infecting my mind with guilt and I deserve it. I'm letting my innocent friend go down, I know Becky would do a good job of looking after the twins so why didn't I just confess?!? I feel like a terrible person, I look behind me and see Colby following closely behind.

"She's just in there, the officer will let you in."

I nodded, my throat was burning I need a drink. I was let in and the room began to spin. I steadied myself on the sink before looking back up at Becky, cuts and bruises spread across her body, a set of stitches on her forehead. That should be me right now in that bed.

"Hey Ash..."

I look across the room and Becky's awake, I pull away from the sink. But my legs crumble underneath me, I fall down and the room continues to spin. I notice the door open and see Colby come in.

"Ashley?"

He offered his hand to help me off my feet, I stood up and he quickly guided me to the chair alongside Becky's bed.

"You alright Ash?"

Becky looked frightened by my presence or maybe it was the fact I almost collapsed serval times just now. I know I need to get my act together but it's just so damn hard.

"Ashley look at me."

I lifted my head slightly so I could see her face, I tried so hard not to break down but I couldn't help it.

"You need to pull yourself together, I'm alright okay?"

"How can you be alright with this? You're going down innocent, while I'm walking around guilty! It's not fair! I'm gonna confess."

"Listen to me, if you confess we'd both go down. You have to keep your cool for my sake. Now be quiet before you get us all arrested!"

I tried to shake the thoughts out of my head, but my brain was well and truly ridiculed with guilt. I wiped away my tears, before taking a deep breath. She did this for me, so it's time I play my part.

"Right Ash, come and give me a hug."

"Is that allowed."

"Well yeah I'd like to think so."

Becky
I can't even begin to imagine how guilty Ashley feels, but I'm doing this for her so she needs to try to put on a brave face and pretend she wasn't there and she didn't stab Randy. I let her out of my embrace and I see a small smile on her face. I wipe away any remaining tears on her face. Ashley's phone began to ring so she went outside leaving me and Colby alone together.

"I'm gonna get you out of here. It might take a while but I have a plan, everyone will be on your side because they'll all finally see Randy for the monster he is"

"Is?"

"Was."

"Colby, I'm sorry you know why I did this though."

"Yeah, but I kinda wish you'd put me first. Thought about me first."

I protected Ashley at the cost of hurting Colby. Something about what he said just pulled at my heart leaving me with a stingy feeling. I don't know how to respond.

"I'm sorry, I just couldn't let Ashley go down for-"

"She's guilty, she killed him. Why, why are you doing this to yourself."

Lily
I was standing in the doorway, neither of them knew I was there. I continued to listen, I am a police officer after all.

"Ashley has kids Colby!"

"We could've looked after them. What if I wanted kids."

"We still can have kids Colby!"

"Yeah in 6 years time, I've been wanting kids for years!"

"Ashley actually has them!"

"Shouldn't she take responsibility! It's her fault, she killed him Rebecca!!!"

"We will all go down if you don't stop yelling at me!"

I cleared my throat causing them both to snap there heads around.

"Rebecca, did you kill Randy?"

"She did."

"I wasn't asking you Lopez."

Rebecca knew she had to tell the truth, she knows I already know. So why keep the act going.

Becky
I knew I had to tell the truth or it would get us all in more trouble. The doors swung open and Ashley walked in carrying the twins. This made me feel even worse.

"Becks what's going on?"

I mouthed 'I'm sorry'
"No, I didn't."

"Who was it?"

I looked at Ashley and she knew what was going on, she handed me one of the twins and Colby the other. I needed to be sick.

Ashley
I know the rouse is up, it's only been a week but the game is over. We lost and now it's time for me to confess. I need to save Rebecca, she tried to save me but it was already too late for me.

"It was me."

The officer, Colby and Becky all looked up at me.

"Ashley Fliehr you are under arrest for the murder of Randy Orton, you have the right to remain silent and anything you do say may be used against you in court."

I stood silently, as she locked the handcuffs around my wrists. She didn't release Becky's and my fears were coming true all at once.

"Why is she still in handcuffs."

"Because she lied to the police. Becky will have another court hearing to determine her punishment. It will be a reduced sentence probably. Where as you Ashley you will probably go down for 8 years."

"8 years!?!"

I opened my eyes snd Becky was crying.

"I can't live without you for 8 years Ash."

"The twins will be 9."

I spoke softly, trying desperately to hide the fear in my voice.

"Right come on then say your goodbyes and let's get you to the station."

Becky grabbed me and hugged me with her spare arm. Amber clung onto my arm, I kissed her head before walking towards Colby. I could see guilt in his eyes but I hugged him anyway, I gave Leah a little hug. Before I was escorted out of the building.
I sat in my cold cell, there was two other girls in with me. I really didn't fancy talking but I thought it would be best too.

Becky
Lily is still here she's talking to the officer who just took Ashley to the station. I don't know what to think right now, I'm mad at Colby. He could've just dropped the conversation, but no he had to keep going. Randy is still finding away to fuck with us even if he is 6 feet under. I get how guilty Ashley was feeling now, the constant sickness plaguing my body, I feel dirty and disgusting and nothing I do will shake that feeling. I can just tell by the way Ashley acted when she saw me. I'm still under arrest, hopefully they'll put us in the same holding cell or give us the same court day. Colby knows I'm mad, upset and feeling guilty. He went to go get a coffee to give me a chance to calm down. Ashley confessing resulted in nothing good, I just wish I could've convinced Lily that it was me and we were talking about some animal Ashley accidentally killed while driving or something. If I could I would switch our places, she might not be able to see her kids until they are 9. She's going to miss there first birthday, god I do truly feel awful.

Colby
I think I should feel guilty, I do. This is technically my fault, if I'd just gone home with Becky and Ashley then I could've prevented anyone dying. I should've been there to knock Randy out or something. I feel terrible, as I should. This is all my fault and it's just so scary not being able do anything to help. I wish I could take the blame but people saw me around the time Randy died. I just want to do something but so far I all I've done is make things 10x worse.
