CHAPTER 55

  Jeffrey crouched one of his knees on the floor before holding Carlos in the arm to get him up from the floor. "Man, that's enough for the night, you are so damn drunk!" Jeffery tried to help him up but it proved abortive.

  "Jeffery___ Jeffrey, it's okay. You can leave me now because I'm a bad person. Just leeeeaaaave___," Carlos yelled at the top of his voice but that didn't push or move Jeffery one bit.

  "Carlos, you are not a bad person. You are not the one to blame at all, I know that you are not a rapist. I'm your beta and your best friend, I know you so well like the back of my fingers. That Jeffery guy just happened to set you up for sure! They are the bad guys and they are the ones to feel guilty and not you," Jeffery reassured Carlos calmly.

  "But I was the one left in that room that night and not them, I'm the rapist who did it to her!" Carlos said to his friend.
