Didnt see it coming || Liam O'donovan

Chapter thirty seven

•Liam's POV
I glared daggers at the tag on my leg,and the daggers didn't cease to exist as I looked up at the council woman addressing me
"Okay Liam. It's now 7pm and you are under curfew until 7am tomorrow morning.This will remain operational for your 6 week term. If you leave the house and restricted area 30 meters surrounding the house,then the alarm will be activated."

"What does that mean" I raised my brows
"We operate a three strikes and you're out ruling" she began in her voice which I couldn't stand "meaning,you break curfew three times,you'll be sent to a youth detention centre for the remainder of your sentence."

Tracy and I glanced at each other,hardly believing this was happening. I didn't steal that woman's handbag,Tracy knows it,yet she has no say. I took a look at Mike's disappointed face. He can't seriously believe I stole that bag?

"Sign here please" the lady passed a paper on a clipboard to Mike
How I wanted to crumble that paper into a ball and shove it down her throat
"Certainly" Mike responded dryly
"He won't be going anywhere,will you Liam" he looked up at me

I didn't even bother replying

I'm being jailed in the dumping ground for something I didn't even do how is this fair

"Tracy,can you show her out please" Mike asked as he gave the woman back the paper
She left and I immediately shot up "look we are gonna appeal against this aren't we Mike"

"Liam,I have tried everything. We're just gonna have to see how this goes" he responded
"But I'm innocent you know that" I retorted angrily,hardly daring to believe this was happening
"It doesn't matter what I think. It matters what the authorities think."

I stared at him in disbelief
"You don't believe me do you" I shook my head and looked down at Gina "he thinks I've snatched that woman's handbag."

She looked up sympathetically "look Liam it's only for six weeks yeah? After that everything will go back to normal."

I felt like smashing my head against the wall
"Normal?" I scoffed,before kicking the rubbish bin and stomping out of the office. Not before slamming the door,which I knew would piss Mike off. Good.

I went down the hallway and bumped into the slithering snake herself,being in the mood for anything but her
"You still owe me a dvd" she pushed me
I glared down daggers at Elektra's face and snapped "they were pirates weren't they we got ripped off"
"No you got ripped off with my money and then you even gave back the DVD!" She exclaimed

I bit back my response of "piss off" and replaced it with snapping "Better go get them then cause I'm stuck here ain't I I'm tagged" pushing her aside and walking into the living room

A smirk sneaked onto my face as I saw sapphire playing pool
"Well surprise surprise,sapphires here. Come to have a good laugh have we?" As I leaned against the wall
She began in a serious,somber tone "Liam,I've come to lend you my support-"
She got cut off as we both snorted,not being able to take her words seriously
"And I wanna see the tag c'mon" she laughed
I rolled my eyes and snorted as I pulled up my trouser leg and showed her

A while later I was playing footie with Frank in the garden. I hadn't seen Riley all day but I wasn't worried, she was spending the night at her friends house. It's rare to allow care kids to stay overnight elseware but well,her mental health situation has a few perks here and there
We were playing when out of no where Mike,Gina,Tracy,and a few others ran into the garden shouting m'name
