Fatal Attraction

Chapter 36

Brice POV
"Mom what do you mean an arrest?" I ask as cops randomly walk around my yard and everyone else joins me.

"Someone called and reported a scream from the apartment and the same person saw some teens walk out of it too. They called our lawyer only to find out that you guys were the teens. Its a disturbance to the public. " She explains

"Wait that still makes no sense! They cant just arrest us for a scream that they have no proof was us"Blessing snaps

"Even though its possible that the scream did come from us"Emma adds

"What...what does she mean?" Mom asks alert

Before I could answer her, a cop approaches us, "Ok so your the screaming teens huh"

"We are sorry officer. See my girlfriend here thought she saw a um....um a-" Khalil stutters

"A naked mole rat!" Angel chimes in

The cop gives her a weird look as we all do, "A naked mole rat....those exist in California?"

"Uh...y-yeah of course...they just started comin here ...for like a vacation" Taylor says and I give him the "really" look as he just shrugs.

The cop looks at all of us skeptically before sighing and whistling; having his team walk back to their cars as he turns and faces us, "ok what we have here are just some weird and wild teens who need therapy from my understanding. You guys...stay out of trouble and you" He turns facing mom.

"Get these kids a therapist" She nods and thanks him as they all leave.

We heave a sigh of relief as mom crosses her arms, "Inside...Now"

"HE WAS THERE"

"Emily calm down"Mark says pulling her down to sit.

"We didn't even know he was in the house cause we were downstairs"Khalil explains

"Yeah and we're sorry that we weren't up there before he got to them"Justin adds

"How was he let go?....He's a moster" Mom says to herself as we all stay silent.

"Well he didn't hurt any of you right?" Mark asks as we all look at each other and Khalil looks down.

"No we're all good" He mumbles and mom nods

"We managed to get some evidence for tomorrow though" Emma says trying to lighten the mood.

"Good...anything that will put this nincompoop behind bars"Mark mutters and we all look at him as if he has three heads.

"He doesnt like to curse" Mom gives us a small smile as she pats his hand that rests on her lap.

"Ok obviously everyone here has been through a lot in one day. How bout I fix up some dinner for everyone and you kids just hang out and relax. You too Emily. I dont wanna hear anything....not one word about the case." Mark demands and we all mumble an ok.

While everyone makes their way to the living room, I grab Khalils hand and bring him outside at the front as I shut the door behind us. I turn and face him with his hands dug deep in his pockets as he avoids my gaze.

"Whats up with you? You got so quiet after Mark and Mom questioned us" I say sincerely.

"Its nothing" He mumbles; still avoiding my gaze.

"Khalil look at me" I demand

He slowly looks at me with his jaw clenched.

"Now tell me whats really wrong"

"Whats wrong is that you and the rest of the girls could have gotten fucking hurt and me and Justin wouldn't have known cause we stupidly left you girls alone." He snaps as I jump

He looks away again and walks to the steps, "I promised your parents and you that I wouldn't let anything happen to you. Something could've happened today Brice and..I don't know what I would do with myself if something did."

I awe in my head before walking over to him and turning him to face me. I grab his face and make him look at me, "Nothing is gonna happen to me and because of you and Justin...we are safe"

He looks at me before pulling me into a hug as I rest my head on his shoulder and look across the street to see a black van with tinted windows quickly speed away.
