a diary entry

Alex stole a CD in a shop two days ago. Then the police interviewed him and he said he was with me. After that, the police also interviewed me and I didn't tell the truth. I lied because if I told the truth, my friend would have many problems

I think Alex was wrong and unfair saying that he was with me because he involved me in the problem. If I was him, I wouldn't do what he did. But the shop has a security video and it showed alex stealing the CD. Now I've problems with my parents and with the police.

I believe that this is not going to happen again because Alex is not going to do it never more and now, I'm not Alex's friend. If I am in a situation like that, I will tell the truth to the police because I don't want to get involved in problems
