My soul anxiously wandered around them, pleading desperately, begging my parents not to bow their heads to this murderer.
"He won't tell you who the real killer is! I'm not worth it, Dad!"
I shouted the last sentence, my spirit becoming unstable.
"Elias, are you even human anymore? Melody loved you so much. She left her parents and moved far away to marry you. She quit her job to be a housewife for you. Don't you appreciate anything she did? Aren't you afraid Melody's ghost will come back to haunt you?"
My mom questioned Elias with tears streaming down her face, her words dripping with anguish. But he still clenched his jaw, refusing to speak. So my dad prepared to call the police.
The moment he was about to make the call, Elias snapped back to reality. He fell to his knees with a thud. "Dad, Mom, I'm a worthless piece of trash. Please don't call the police. I'll talk. I'll tell you everything."
