Her Body

I arrived home.

I remained frozen.

Larisa was sitting on my front porch, waiting for me to get home.

I drove in to the garage.

I got out of the car.

Larisa ran to me.

"Oh Matt!" she said.

She hugged me.

I pushed her away a little.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

I said nothing.

"We still don't know who murder Emma!" she said.

We both sat down on the front porch.

I began to talk.

"There are certain things you wish you could forget." I said.

I looked at her.

I continued "I went to Adrian's house and found my wife! My Love! naked in his bed!
Her body lay on his sheets! "

"Oh God! I am so sorry!" she said.

"Emma knew." I said softly.

"It was one of them wasn't it. I saw Debbie and Emma fight. After the fight, she must have murder her. Didn't she!? Just to cover their little affair." she began to scream.

"Let's go and face them!" she told me.

She pulled my hand.

"Those bastards must face justice!" she said.

"And if they don't talk! We'll make them talk!" she told me.

"There are certain things you wish you could forget." I said again

I continued to talk.

When I saw her body, It reminded me of the last time I was with Emma.

Roger and Emma had been fighting.

Roger went out to start a fight with Francis.

Emma went outside.

I followed after.

I told her she should leave him.

She said she was going to leave him and I was glad.

I grabbed her hand and told her that we should go inside.

She pulled my hand away.

Instead, she hugged me tightly.

"Matt! There is something you should know" she said.

"What?" I asked.

"Debbie and Adrian are having an affair!" she told me.

"What?! No they're not!" I screamed.

"Yes! They are! " she told me.

She kissed me.

I pushed her away.

"Lies!" I screamed.

"Matt, I love you." she said.

"Well, I love Debbie." I told her.

"But it's the truth. Debbie and Adrian are having an affair." she said.

"Just shut up!" I told her.

She got closer to me.

I pushed her away and she fell to the floor.

"Just shut up Emma." I whispered.

I pulled her hair.

I began to kick her.

"Just shut up Emma." I whispered again.

I punched her.

I kicked her.

"Just shut up Emma." I whispered again.

There was blood on my shirt so I took it off.

I wiped my hands and shoes with my shirt.

I hid my shirt on one of the tallest tree's top branches. I tied it hard so It wouldn't fall.

I kissed Emma.

She was still alive.

She told me.

"I loved you. You will not get away with this. You know the truth, now. You cannot hide from it! " she said.

"Just shut up Emma" I whispered.

I choked her.

This is all a lie! I told myself. This never happened. It never happen.

I must have lied to myself a million times that I began to believed it.

I saw her body lay in the grass.

I left.

I walked inside.

I passed Francis room.

I didn't want to look inside.

I don't want to know.

I passed you, Larisa.

I lay on the floor.

I closed my eyes.

It felt like minutes, possibly an hour.

The room felt silent and it was all calm.

I felt as if my body was floating in thin air.

I was believed all of my lies.

When I heard you scream,

I forgot what i have done.

I forgot what Emma had said.

I forgot everything.

I remained ignorant with my lies but my body knew the truth.

Her body knew the truth.

Larisa ran away from me.

I sat down on the front porch and I waited.

They will soon come after me for what I have done.

I will face justice and I will face the truth.

I sat on my prison cell.

They told me I had a visitor.

It was Debbie.

We both looked at each other.

"Monster." she told me.

"Snake." I said.

"You murder Emma." she told me.

"I want a divorce." I told her.

"You're getting it." she told me.

"I love you Debbie." I told her.

"I love you Matt." she lied.

"I hate you." I told her.

"I might have lied and I might have cheated on you but you are worse than me. Murder." She told me.

She left.

I watched her go.

Emma, I murder her. I can't forget her corpse.

Debbie, she lied to me. I can't forget what I saw.

I will never forget her body.
