Mitch's Sister 2(PTX)

Partner in Crime

Miranda POV

They shoved me out of the car with my hands still cuffed behind my back. At this point, I gave up resisting. What's the point?

They forced me to take a headshot and change into horrible prison clothes. The guards put me into the 'holding tank' which held 3 other intimidating people.

I just don't get it. Steven was trying to kill me but the police didn't find any evidence! They don't even believe me! If I wanted to kill him I wouldn't have stab him in the leg! I'm smarter than that!

I sat down next to a man about my age in the cell.
"You're new." The brunette said roughly.
"Yeah... why are you here?"
"I tried to rob a gas station. How about you?"
"I stabbed my ex boyfriend."
"Wouldn't want to date you, huh."
"Well If I ever get out of here you're not coming in my house. I'm Miranda by the way."
"Josh. Nice to meet you."
"The circumstances could be better."
"We'll live."
"I just hope someone bails me out."
"I can't afford that..."
"Maybe I can help you out." I smiled.
"I'm holding that against you." He smirked.

Mitch POV

I was glued to my seat, absolutely shocked. That was most certainly NOT supposed to happen. As soon as the jury had a verdict they ushered Miranda out of there before I even realized! She didn't even do anything wrong! It's not fair!

This is all Stevens fault. That asshole. I ran up to the judge.
"Where did they take her?"
"Jail. She got arrested." She looked at me, clearly annoyed.
"She didn't do anything!!!!"
"Kid. The trial is over. Have a good night."
"No!" The judge walked away, not giving me the time of day.

I don't know what to do! I need to talk to someone but none of my band mates even know what Steven did! They wouldn't understand! I guess I should confess..

I drove back to Scott and I's apartment. I unlocked the door and was immediately greeted by Scott.
"Hey Mitch how was art class? Why are you dressed so nicely? Where's Miranda?" He said in one breath.
"Art class was great, but why are you worried about Miranda?"
"We're going to dinner tonight. I'm so excited!" Scott smiled. Shit.

"Ummmm can you tell the rest of Pentatonix to come over?"
"Why?"
"Emergency meeting."
"Does it have to do with your tuxedo?"
"Yes, please Scott."

He nodded and I left the room. How am I supposed to react? I lied to all my friends and my sister is in jail! She was abducted by a dickhead and she's the one in trouble! I'm going after Steven. Who am I kidding? He's so much stronger than me. This is useless.

"Mitch?" That was quick.

"Hey guys." I was greeted by my four band mates.
"So I've been lying to you this entire time..."

Miranda POV

The guards removed me from holding tank and took me down a damp hallway. It looked like a stereotypical jail. Halls lined with dark cells and depressed people. Although it looked intimidating, I wasn't the least bit concerned.

This is just another obstacle. I've had so many things thrown at me that this will not even be a problem. I can do this. Serve time and get through it. It will be rough, but I have to stay strong.

I was directed towards an empty cell. It contained two flat beds, blankets, and a simple toilet. "Enjoy your stay miss." The guard said as he removed my handcuffs and locked the cell behind me.

Freedom! I desperately shook my wrists as the burned from behind held back so long. Hoping that was the worst part.

To my surprise, Josh was escorted in here shortly after. At least I can put up with him.
"So you didn't get bailed out, huh?"
"Nope but I can handle myself."
"You're tough."
"You're a criminal."
"So are you." I rolled my eyes.
"It was self defense."
"What?"
"My ex tried to shoot me."
"So you stabbed him."
"With his own knife."
"Nice!" He high-fived me. I can't believe this is happening.
"Why did you rob a gas station?"
"I was broke and needed cigarettes."
"You do what you have to do."
"Exactly. I like you."
"We have plenty of time to get to know each other, that's for sure."

Scott POV

"So Steven lied about their entire relationship. She dumped him after he abused her.  One night he took her clubbing and drugged her. That's the night he crashed into Scott. When she lost her memory, he decided it was a great time to step back into poor Miranda's life. Steven convinced her they've been dating for awhile but Miranda sensed that there wasn't  a connection. She found out about what really happened in the crash and threatened to go to the police. This is the part about when we were missing."

Mitch took a moment to breathe and let us take in his words. I can't believe this- it's insane.

"So, Steven was scared of the police so he kidnapped Miranda. Then he kidnapped me as well. It could have been worse, trust me. He gave us food and all but being locked in a barn was not favorable. At least Miranda and I are on good terms again. Oh and she got her memory back. Well, one day he got really mad and was about to shoot Miranda. She retaliated and ended up stabbing him in the leg, twice." Oh my god....

"So we ran out of there and got the police. Then we came up with the lame car excuse so you all wouldn't worry. But here's the worst part. Today, they held Steven's trial and he was pronounced innocent." No.......

"But this doesn't make sense. If Steven didn't want Miranda to go to the cops why did he abduct you too?" Kevin said. Mitch's eye twitched slightly. He's not telling us something...

"I don't know."
"Where is Miranda now?" I asked.
"Jail."
