ROMAN
Standing in the visitor’s parking lot at the back of the prison, I watch as
they close the reinforced steel gates behind me, physically closing the worst
chapter of my life. Fifteen long fucking years I stayed behind bars for a
crime I didn’t commit. Sharing meals and a yard with the dregs of human
society. I didn’t belong there but who would believe a nineteen-year-old kid
over a high school teacher with a sparkling clean record.
Even now all these
years later I can still clearly see Terry on the stand with a huge smirk on his
face as he stood tall, squared his shoulders and clearly identified me as the
person who broke into his home and brutally assaulted him. The bastard did
an Oscar-worthy performance as he recounted how I was obsessed with him
and how he had told me time and time again that he wasn’t homosexual
until I snapped that night and broke into his house to attack him.
Somewhere in the mayhem of that night I lost track of my phone and
according to the piss poor public defender they gave me, the phone was
never recovered at the scene. So I had no other way to prove that I was
invited over that night, that we were a fucking couple because nobody else
knew. That asshole told me he fucking loved me just a few days before, yet
was able to swear on the Bible, sobbing whilst thanking the kid who called
the cops when he saw me going into his teacher’s house.
Taking a long deep inhale, I turn from the gates, putting the prison and
what has been my life for the last fifteen years figuratively and physically
behind me. I’m not the person this whole town believes me to be. In front of
me now is my future.
I need to find a way to live my life even with this
felony charge hanging over my head. I know my mom never doubted me.
She encouraged me to fight at every appeal to clear my name but without
any kind of evidence of our relationship and my DNA and fingerprints on
the damn baseball bat I had no chance. So I put my head down and did my
time.
Seeing my mom’s car clunking into the parking lot and stopping in front
of me has me almost falling to my knees. She visited me a few times at the
beginning but it was so hard for her seeing me like that and I couldn’t stand
her tears, so I had asked her to stop coming. She fought me on it of course,
but in the end I think she realized it was just as hard for me.
“Mom.” The word falls from my lips, sounding as broken as I feel when
she rushes from the car and barrels into me. Her petite frame is swallowed
by my massive biceps as I hold on to her like a life preserver I have been
drowning without for so long.
