Forbidden- ON HOLD

I Am Trouble

Many say that everything happens for a reason, I say that that's bullshit. There is someone somewhere calling the shots and I am determined to find them and smash their face in. You see I had a very messed up life and honestly I didn't think things could get any worse until now. My current situation to say the least, has to be the worst yet and this coming from someone who happened to kill her own parents. How did I do that you ask? Well I can't tell you everything now can I, I mean then there would basically be no need for an entire story right? Let's just say I am one of the unluckiest people in the universe and right now just proves my point. Why did that idiot have to put on the handcuffs so tight?

Why am I wearing handcuffs? Oh because I was found unconscious next to three dead bodies. Yes three, they also happened to be the dead bodies of three cheerleaders who hated my guts and I felt the same way about them. Did I kill them? I really don't know, honestly I have no idea what happened, in fact I have no idea why I am here or how I got here. But this ugly, scruffy, food pregnant officer doesn't believe me and insists that I had something to do with it, so here I am, in the back of a police car, waiting to be taken to the police station for a crime i may have not commit. Lucky me.

"You better have some prayers waiting Andrews, cause you're gonna need them," tubby cop said, I knew his name is Officer Donald but even in my thoughts I refused to acknowledge him.

"Why officer, I am not eighteen till next week, surely you know that you can't hold a minor for long, after all, I didn't do anything."

"Tell that to someone who gives a shit. Don't think I forgot that you made me spoil my favourite pair of boots trying to clean up the mess you made last year. I still cry over that, it broke my heart. Now shut up and sit tight, I will enjoy watching you squirm," he said smiling as he drove off. All I could do was smile because I knew he would still hold what happened last year against me. It's not my fault, how was I supposed to know that certain fireworks were illegal? I didn't tell him to be the one to try and bust me; it's his own fault for walking into a lit rocket.

He drove in silence and I thanked the universe for that, besides I needed this time to try and figure out what happened before we reached the police station. I didn't want to face my uncle until I could get a grasp around things. My uncle is one of the lead investigators in the city and our local shining star, which is kind of difficult when you are the legal guardian for someone like me. I knew he would be pissed and judging from the fact that he wasn't the one to pick me up from the crime scene meant that he was carefully calculating his reaction when he saw me. In other words, I was screwed.

We pulled up in the parking lot of station and I still could not decide whether it was safer to run away or walk inside. Yes I knew I hated Brittany, Whitney and Blake, yes those are the dead cheerleaders names, so cliché, but not enough to kill them. And yes it is true that they made the majority of my high school life a living hell by making me their personal bully recipient, still I didn't want to kill them. I actually had a plan for their future, I was going to become a billionaire and make them my three secretaries and personal assistants, that way I would have inflicted every possible kind of legal torture. So why would I kill them now and deny myself that satisfaction? It just doesn't make any sense right?

I also could not figure out how I got to the warehouse or even why we would all be at a warehouse. The last thing I remember was coming home to an empty house, which is something that I am accustomed to cause there is only my uncle Rick and I, I took a shower and was enjoying a rerun of Lost Girl when I blacked out. I woke up surrounded by the dead bitches and sirens approaching, which meant no time to run and I also had a huge migraine. This is frustrating.

Office tubby led me through the doors and into the already crowded police station, there were people everywhere. It was actually very crowded which only occurs during spring break and it was mid October, so why are there so many people?

I wasn't able to observe the scenery much longer before a tight grip was felt on my upper arm.

"Hi Uncle Ricky, how is your day going?"

"Save it Noelle, what the hell did you do?" he asked dragging me away from Officer Mc Tubbs, ha, that's a good one, I need to remember that. He dragged me into an interrogation room and locked the door as I sat down. "Do you want to tell me why you were found with three dead bodies when you should be home studying for your college entrance exam?" he yelled practically smoking from his ears.

"Look I can't explain, the last thing I remember was being home watching TV then waking up in the warehouse. Everything in the middle of that is completely blank to me. It's like my mind was wiped clean or something. I have no idea how I ended up there," I answered honestly and I knew he would believe me because even though I was a screw up, the one thing I never did was lie to my Uncle Rick; after all, he was the only one that wanted me after my parents died. He is the only person that cares and how do I show him my gratitude? By being a royal asshole.

"Noelle, my boss is up my ass with this one, I have no idea how to handle it. With your previous record, a screw up like this can put you away for a while, you turn eighteen next week, no more juvenile for you, you would be tried as an adult," he said painfully and I knew this was killing him.

"I swear to you Uncle Rick that I didn't do this but I can't prove it. I don't even know how it happened."

"Well that just isn't good enough Noelle, how can anyone believe you when you have done so much. Look let me see what I can do, in the mean time I am going to leave you to sit by my desk. Do not touch anything and do not talk to anyone, go it?"

"Sir yes sir."

"Don't be a smart ass with me," he replied giving me a small tap to the back of my head, "I love you, you do know that right?" he said.

"Yes I do, I love you too," I replied and his expression softened again.

"No secrets?" he asked.

"No secrets."

"Good, now come on, Officer Donald has it in for you so no games," he stated.

"No promises," it was true I couldn't promise that, Rick knew how much I despised Office McTubbs, asking me to leave him alone would be torture.

"Knock it off Noelle, leave the man be, he is already going through a divorce, he doesn't need any more stress."

"Well someone should tell that to his stomach, the way he is eating is putting stress on his heart," I said smugly which earned me another tap and a smile. I loved to see him smile; I wish he did that more often. Hey he might actually get a girlfriend and stop being so serious. He isn't ugly, actually, he is quite far from it, with his tall six feet two height and broad shoulders with a rather toned body, my uncle has dark brown hair and eyes and look exceptionally well for the ripe age of forty-three. He is a chick magnet but he doesn't know it.

"Stop being a smartass and be quiet, I will be back, I need to talk to the boss," he stated as he sat me down by his desk. I watched him walk off, take a huge breath and entered the door marked Sergeant Eden Smith.  I just hope Rick didn't get into too much trouble this time.

I sat there in silence looking at my surroundings when something, no, someone caught my eye. In fact he was staring right at me, for a moment I looked behind to make sure that it was me and there wasn't anyone behind me, so why was he looking at me. Those blue eyes, as clear as water, were boring right into me as though he was seeing me naked, worse, he was seeing my soul. I felt vulnerable and unprotected, his eyes were burning me and for the first time in years, I was terrified. I don't why but I knew that I needed to get away. I looked towards the direction of the Sergeant's door hoping to see Rick come out, but he didn't. I looked back to the direction of the blue eyed demon but he was not there. I breathed a grateful sigh of relief and began to relax when I felt heat by my right ear. I turned slightly only to meet those ice blue eyes.

"I found you Noelle."
