The Best Year

Chapter 13

I grabbed Ben's hand and pulled him the whole way to the police station. We walked in and went to the front desk.

"Hello what do you need miss" the lady at the front desk said.

"Someone called me to come down here" I said answering her question.

"Are you Zoe" she asked.

"Yes" I said back.

"Come with me" she said while getting up and opening the door to let me in.

She takes me to this room and tells me to sit while she goes and gets someone. The door opens and a man walks in.

"Hello" the man said in a serious voice.

"Hello are you the one who called me" I asked.

"Yes" he said back then sat down.

"What do you need" I asked concerned.

"It's about Luke, he tried to kill himself" the police officer said.

"Is he alright" I asked.

"Yes but we are afraid he will do it again and he has no family to go to so we don't know if we can let him out of jail" he said.

We sat there in silence for five minutes just thinking about what to do next.

"What if he has friends to move in with" I said.

"We tried to ask him but he said he has no friends" the police officer said.

Then Ben spoke up "what if he stays with us".
