Chapter 18

Two days later, Jenna arrived at the Remand Centre to visit Mitch. He might not want to see her, but right now, she knew he’d need a friend.

When she’d heard that Kendra had passed away, she’d called him immediately but he hadn’t answered his phone. Kyle told her the following day that he’d had a really rough night and they’d stayed up most of it talking. She was so glad Kyle had been with him, but now Mitch had been remanded, he was all alone.

His eyes lit up briefly as she entered the visitor’s room and sat opposite him. He looked terrible. It was clear by the dark circles under his eyes that he hadn’t been sleeping.

“How are you doing?” she asked, struggling to come to terms with his prison garb.

He blew out a breath and his shoulders sagged. “Not great, but I guess I’ll get used to it.”

Her heart ached for him.

“My lawyer wants to shift part of the blame onto Kendra.”

“Really?” She scrunched her brows and wondered what he meant.

“I won’t let him do that.”

She tilted her head. “I don’t understand.”

“There’s more to it than anyone knows.”

She didn’t want to push him, but she didn’t have to. As he looked at her, his eyes watered. “There’s something I should tell you about that night. But you might wish you’d never helped me in the first place once I do.”

Jenna’s stomach churned with dread as she wondered what he was going to say.

He blew out another breath. “I was a terrible person a few months ago, but I never had any intentions of hurting Kendra.”

She listened as he told her about that night. About how he was responsible for the drugs showing up in Kendra’s body, and how he had to confess the truth instead of allowing everyone, including her parents, to believe she used drugs when she didn’t.

When he finished, Jenna knew that Mitch expected her to turn away in disgust. There was a part of her that was truly appalled by his behaviour and the fact that he’d done such a thing. But mostly, she respected him for his honesty. Not only that, but the fact that he was deciding to face the consequences rather than cast blame onto Kendra.

“Mitch, you amaze me. It proves how far you’ve come and how much you’ve changed.”

He gave a small shrug. “I have to be honest about it. I have to tell the truth, or I’d have to live with the guilt forever—the knowledge that I was too much of a coward and that I allowed her reputation to be tainted. I couldn’t do that.”

“When’s your hearing?”

“Next week. I’m going to confess everything and plead guilty. I have to.”

“I’ll be there, okay? I’ll be with you. And I’ll visit often and pray for you every step of the way.”

“Thank you.”
