Cops

Maddie's P.O.V

We were all out doing our thing, causing trouble. We didn't it very much. The last time we were out causing trouble, we were running through a store. We had gotten kicked out of there so many times. I lost track like right after 5. The last time we got kicked out we went in there I don't know how long it was afterwards.
"IF YOU KIDS KEEP COMING IN HERE I'M GOING TO CALL THE COPS!" The manager said
"What we're just teenagers!" I yelled back
"Maddie?" Calum whined/asked
"What?" I mocked
"Maddie be nice." Ashton said
"No." I said
"Maddie be nice." Michael and Luke said at the same time
"Fine." I whined
        After running around in the store some more we got kicked out and the cops were called.
"Hey let's run." I said
"No let's just deal with the cops." Amanda said
"Yeah I agree with Amanda." Kaylee said
"Oh okay. Fine." I said
"Maddie I know that you've been in trouble with the cops before." Ashton said
"So why don't you want to face them?" Michael asked
"Luke. Make them stop." I whined

Luke's P.O.V

"Luke. Make them stop." Maddie whined
        I pulled Michael and Ashton aside.
"Luke, why doesn't she want to face the cops?" Michael whisper asked
"Her mum died when she was 8 from working undercover and the cops here found out and if they see her again soon they will tell her that her mum died from working undercover and not natural causes." I said
"Oh." Ashton said
"Yeah." Luke said
"Has she been okay?" Michael asked
"Yeah, but if someone brings up her mum she will break down into tears and she will shut everyone out." I said

Maddie's P.O.V       

        Luke, Ash and Mikey all came back over to the girls and I. The cops had pulled up. Great. I don't know why I was nervous. I know that right after mum died I was acting up and getting into a lot of trouble. I was standing there being really quiet. Yeah I know that, that's really unusual for me but I was nervous so I was quiet.
"Ms. Maddie Hemmings." An officer said
"Yes?" I asked
"Come here." He said
        I walked over to him. Luke looked really really worried. Calum wasn't that worried. I mean yeah he was worried but I don't know why.
"I know that your mum died." He said
"Yeah." I said sadly
"Do you know how she died?" He asked
"Yeah, she died of natural causes." I said
"No. She was working undercover and she was having dinner and there was an ambush she was shot." He said
        I ran. I was crying. I know I was. I could feel the tears in my eyes. I ran all the way home. I ran in and locked the door. I ran into my room and got my razor. I broke it. I pulled up my sleeve and the razor went across my skin. One cut, two cuts, three cuts and four cuts. I heard the front door open. I forgot everyone had a key. Good thing my door was locked. I put my sweater on, not noticing the blood dripping from my arms. There were two deep cuts on each arm. Calum was trying to get in.
"Maddie! Open the door now!" Calum yelled
        I didn't answer. Calum kept yelling. I couldn't see straight. I finally opened the door. Calum hugged me really tight.
"Cal, babe. I can't breathe." I barely made out
"Oh, sorry." Cal said
"It's okay." I said
"You're going to be okay." Cal said       
        Calum was rubbing my back. We were hugging for what seemed like forever but I could always use a hug at times like this. It took awhile for everyone to notice the cuts.
Maddie, you're bleeding." Michael said
        Luke walked over and pulled up my sleeves.
"Maddie, why?" Rachel asked
"Because." I said
"Why." Amanda said
