Secret Admirers //one direction//

Chapter 26

I reach the information desk and inquire about Ethan. The police officer tells me to wait for a few minutes and then leads me to the interrogation room. I've never imagined that life will bring me here someday but that's what life is; unpredictable.

"I will like to talk to him alone, officer", I say and the police officer excuses me.

There's a single table and two chairs inside the interrogation room. I sit in front of Ethan. I fight all my inner emotions and finally gather a lot of strength to question him.

"Tell me everything that had happened while I was unconscious", I say.

"When you fainted, I had taken you to a room and laid you on the bed. Then I started to tie you up to the headboard but I was unable to do so because you immediately come back to your senses and run away. Trust me Perry, I did not do anything. Your lips were bleeding and you were looking so exhausted that people are assuming that I've sexually assaulted you. But your lips were bleeding since a long time. The first time, when I blindfolded you, I did notice that your lips were bleeding and I even tasted blood when I tried to kiss you." Ethan speaks clearly.

"You didn't try to kiss me Ethan. You fucking kissed me. You fucking tried to have sex with me against my will and you have to accept this." I say.

"Yes I accept it. The first time, I did try to have sex with you. But the second time I did not do anything. People are telling that I have raped you. But that's not true." He says. He sounds confident.

"How do I believe you? You can tell all this to get rid of the police too, right?" I ask him.

"You can obviously think that. But please trust me, I did not rape you. I'm speaking the truth, Perry!" He pleads me.

"I don't know..."

"Sorry to say this but if you are a virgin you can go to the doctor and check. I'm so sure that I did not do anything."

By now I'm sure that Ethan is speaking the truth because I had already seen the doctor this morning. And guess what? I'm still a virgin.

I get up and move out of the interrogation room.

"Officer, Ethan did not rape me. He tried to rape me, but he couldn't. Here is the doctor's report. Thank you " I hand the reports to the police officer and move out of the station.

"Perry, my child!" I hear Dad call me. He was standing outside the station in front of our car. He had arrived here, in Edge Hill, today morning.

I told my Dad that Ethan had tried to drug me at the party and so my friends had reported him to the police and the police officer wanted to see me and help him with the case. So Dad just decided to drive me to the station.

"Is everything alright?" Dad asks.

"Yes Dad. The boy tried to drug me but he couldn't so most probably the police is going to charge him with some amount of fine." I say.

"Okay. Lets go then", he says and we get into the car.

"How are your studies going on? I hope you aren't missing architecture classes?" Dad asks me while driving.

"Yeah, it's going on well.." I kind of lie to him. I've been mostly missing architecture classes.

I just don't like that subject at all and the bitter truth is that my parents want me to persue a career in architecture.

While we were stuck in the traffic, my father spots Louis who was probably returning from college. He was walking by the side walk. I wonder what has happened to his car.
