FLASHBACK - Fake flashback

And here starts what Ashton had taught her. She was a bit nervous but then took a deep breathe. In front of the police officer it seemed as if she regretted what happened.

"As I said, she saw us holding hands. I don't know what happened but she suddenly came running towards us and pushed me down and held Ashton's hand. She called me a slut and said that... that..."

Kate started sniffling. It still hurt her, because Susie had actually said all that.

"Please continue" Said the police officer gently.

"She asked whether I had spread my legs for Ashton already. I explained that we were just holding hands, that's it. She then pulled Ashton down and forcefully kissed Ashton, but Ashton pulled apart and shouted at her. She got hysteric, saying that he shouted at her because of me. She told me to stay away from Ashton as she loved him and Ashton was her's."

Kate started sniffling again. She was trying hard not to cry. The police officer passed her a tissue. Kate bowed a bit as a thank you.

"You can have some water"

Kate nodded and took few sips of water from the glass kept in front of her. Then she continued the 'truth'.

"When Susie said this, he immediately shouted at her and blurted out that he loved me and he'll never love her. He used to see her as his sister and that's all she could ever be in his life. Susie looked at him and started crying and cursing me saying it was all because of me. Ashton ignored her and came back to my side. Susie said if I wanted her as a best friend I'll have to leave Ashton orelse I have to forget her. I couldn't choose. But I realized Susie had changed and no longer my best friend. I chose Ashton as a friend. Susie glared at me and started laughing hysterically and then told Ashton that she'll see him and ran off. We didn't go behind her and that was our biggest mistake. I never imagined in my life that choosing Ashton would effect her this much and she would.... she would... " and Kate couldn't control herself. She started crying loudly. She couldn't care less about the police officers. Even though she lied about what actually happened, but she the part of her choosing Ashton over Susie was true. And she never would have thought that Susie would kill herself for a reason like this. She thought that Susie killed herself because of her. She thought of herself as a murderer.

There was silence in the cubicle for a few minutes. Then the silence was finally broken down by the police officer.

"Now we know what happened. But we would need to talk to Mr. Ashton as well. Ms Kate, thank you for your cooperation."

Kate nodded in acknowledgement and then took a sip of water from her glass. Then she wiped her tears and followed another policeman who was leading the way. They sat in a police car and the policeman dropped her at her home and went away.
