Azlynn sat in the small room, a couple of policemen outside of the door. They were having a conversation which Azlynn assumed was about her.

Her eyes were red and bloodshot from her lack of sleep along with crying. She didn't know what came over her.

He deserved it, she kept telling herself. She knew he didn't though. She did care, she just had unsolved - but solvable - problems.

One of the men walked in the room, locking it behind him.

He walked to the table and sat in his chair, directly across the table from Azlynn.

"So," He began, "Name and age?"

"Azlynn Tomlinson-Styles," Azlynn said. She liked to include both of her father's last names, "16."

"What happened this morning?" He asked, writing down her name and age on a notepad.

Azlynn explained what had happened, "And so I stabbed him. I felt threatened even though he probably wouldn't have hurt me. I was so angry at him. I didn't even care if he were to die. I'm such a horrible person. I stabbed my own father for God's sake!" She rubbed her forehead, trying to hide her tears from the officer who's name was Jordan.

Jordan finished writing things down, "I'm sorry, Azlynn, but you're going to have to be in juvenile detention for at least a month. After that month passes you'll be free to go, unless your parents say otherwise."

Azlynn nodded, letting the tears fall.

Harry woke up in the hospital, Louis asleep in the uncomfortable plastic chair.

Harry winced as he adjusted his position on the hospital bed as an attempt to get comfortable.

Louis' eyes fluttered open and he yawned, "Morning."

"Hi," Harry smiled.

"Have you heard anything about Az?" Louis asked.

"No," Harry said, somewhat disappointed.

Louis opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by his phone ringing.

He rolled his eyes then answered the call.

"Hello?" Louis asked, rubbing his forehead.

"Hi, uhm, Louis Tomlinson?" It was Jordan, the man that was with Azlynn.

"Yeah, I'm Louis," Louis replied.

"Well this is Jordan King, we've already met."

"Yeah," Louis said, "So about Azlynn?"

Jordan cleared his throat, "Well I asked her some questions. She answered very honestly. She left out some details but she will need to stay in juvenile detention for about a month and a half. She'll be released sooner or later at you and Harry's request."

Louis nodded though he knew Jordan couldn't see him, "Thank you so much."

"Yup," Jordan said.

Louis and Jordan said their goodbyes and Louis hung up.

"Who was that?" Harry asked, playing with Louis' hair.

"Officer King," Louis replied, "Azlynn has to stay in juvie for a month and a half unless we want her to leave earlier or later."

Harry thought about his answer, then replied, "I think she should stay that long. Maybe even longer."

Louis nodded.

"Considering she stabbed me, extremely close to my neck might I add. She could've killed me for all we know!" Harry exclaimed.

"I know, baby," Louis pet Harry's curls, "But she didn't. You're okay. Calm down."

Harry settled down a little bit more, "But she needs to stay there for at least a full month."

"Yeah," Louis replied, still petting Harry's hair, "Maybe even two."

Harry nodded, "I just can't believe our own daughter would do this."

"Neither can I," Louis shook his head, "I think it's her friends' fault."

"Maybe," Harry said, "Or maybe it's just her."

Evelyn walked out of her high school building as her final bell had finally rung. She said goodbye to her friends and climbed in her car. She drove home.

It was a good ten minute drive. On the way she listened to her favorite radio station and sang along to the new songs that she loved.

Once she arrived at her house, she got out of her car, walked inside the house and grabbed a bottle of water out of the refrigerator.

She sat at the island in the kitchen, unlocking her iPhone and taking a drink of her water.

She went on Twitter, tweeted something that got two thousand retweets and favorites right away. Then she got a call. It was from Louis.

"Hi, Dad," Evelyn answered.

"You make it home okay?" He asked. He sounded exasperated.

"Yeah, I just got home a few minutes ago," Evelyn replied.

"Alright," Louis said, "I'm coming home soon. I should be there in about forty five minutes."

"Okay, I'll just do my homework or something," Evelyn said.

"Okay. Be safe, honey. I love you."

"I love you too," Evelyn said before hanging up.

Evelyn sighed. She decided to listen to music in her room, so she did.

She brought her school bag into her room and lay stomach-down on her bed. She plugged her phone into speakers and played some very old music. Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, etcetera...

'Dear Prudence' by The Beatles was playing when Louis got home. Evelyn sang along, but once she heard the front door open she hurried to turn the music off and greet Louis.

"Hi, Daddy!" She said as she left her room.

"Hi, Eve," Louis said, giving Evelyn a big hug.

"I missed you. How's Dad doing?"

Louis smiled, "I missed you too. Your dad is doing great. He'll be home no later than three days from now."

"That's great!" Evelyn grinned, pulling away from Louis' embrace, "And what about Az?"

Louis sighed, "She has to stay in juvie for a month and a half at the least. Harry and I will probably have her be there a month more than planned."

"O-Oh," Evelyn looked down, "Okay."

"Yeah," Louis sighed again, walking towards the sitting area. Evelyn followed while Louis continued, "It's going to be hard on all or us, but she needs it to straighten her out. Her friends are nothing but trouble. I'm sorry, hon."

"It's okay," Evelyn replied, "It isn't your fault."

"Thank you," Louis said, "Because I'm starting to think it is."
