"hello ma'am. are you the sister of hope?" the officer at my front door asks me.

"yes?" i answer reluctantly.

"good. she's down at the station with a posted bond. her mother is unable to pick her up, nor pay the bond. if you aren't at the station and the bond isn't payed by 11pm tonight, she will be transferred to the county jail where she will await trial." he says before he quickly leaves.

what the actual fuck did she do. i swear to god she better have a good explanation.

after half an hour of driving, and another hour of paperwork and talking to the people in charge, hope is finally released.

"what the fuck did you do?!?!" i scold her as i drive off, her sitting silently in my passenger seat.

"nothing." she says.

"oh, nothing? so you got arrested for... nothing?" i say sarcastically.

"pretty much." she replies.

"you better tell me what the hell is going on right now or else i'm bringing you right back to the jail and don't think i won't." i warn sternly.

"fine fine fine. it wasn't anything horrible, i swear." she says before taking in a deep breath.

"me and my friend went out and trespassed i guess? we sat there and smoked and then left!" she explains and i can tell that she's being honest.

"thank you for telling me..... BUT WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING?!?!" i shout in frustration.

"do not EVER hang out with whoever you were with again. you were never like this. this isn't you." i say with a sigh.

"i know." she admits.

"please don't bring me back to mom's. she doesn't want me, anyways." she begs.

"whatever, hope." i say as i confine driving back to me and billie's house.

"call billie on my phone and hook it up to bluetooth." i instruct hope to do as we get a little closer, about five minutes away from the house.

she does as told and soon i hear the phone ringing for only about two seconds.

"heyy" billie says from the other side of the call.

"hey love, how're you feeling?" i ask in a calm voice. hearing her voice always calms me down.

".. better." she says after a little bit.

"that's good. well, i'm on my way home, but i have hope with me. she's gonna stay with us for a couple of days, okay baby?" i tell billie.

"alright love. everything ok?" she asks.

"psh.. everything is far from okay. but don't worry about us, i'm pulling into the garage in like two minutes." i say honestly.

"okay, be safe! love you," she says.

"love you too." i reply before hanging up the phone and right in time pulling into the garage.

after putting the car in park and getting all of my belongings together, hope and i walk into the house together.

"go to your room and don't you even think about sneaking out." i say angrily as i set my stuff down on the counter. fuck, i sound like a mom. and yes, hope has a room at our house. she's like always here and we have too many rooms for just the two of us anyways.

"woahhh, what happened baby?" billie asks as i sit down next to her on the couch.

"fucking hope. i swear, she gets on my nerves sometimes. her dumbass decided to sneak out and smoke on private property. of course my mom didn't have to many to pay for her bail so i had to." i explain with an exhausted sigh.
