He took me in Handcuffs............

Erika's POV

"What the hell's wrong with you? my dad screamed. His face was tomato red and the vein on his temple was protruding.

"Your mother and I give you everything and this is how you repay us? You're fucking worthless you know that right?"

My was mother in the corner staring off at the kitchen cabinet, pretending as if she had nothing to do with this. She was useless to me- I needed her and she was never there for me.

My mind started wandering to the sexy police man who thought I was a kid. A part of me was a little bit excited to take up his challenge. What was I supposed to help him with any-ways? Whatever it is will hopefully distract me from this hell hole of a house.

"Do you understand me?!" He practically screamed this time.

I nodded slightly, just enough for him to acknowledge that I was 'listening' to him. I glanced at my mom looking for some reassurance. I don't know why I always do that. Each time hoping she will save me, each time I hope a little less.

My stomach was turning as I remembered that I was expelled. I literally had 1 month left of school and I was freaking expelled. What am I going to do? Mom said I had to transfer school's but hopefully I could talk my way into my old school.

"Sweetie, I have to take you to the station. Are you ready?" My mother said in a fragile whisper. Her golden brown curls were just short of her shoulders, and her matching eyes dared to stare at me directly. She knew she was in the wrong- she always did, yet she did nothing about it.

Shit... I totally forgot. I was to help that sexy officer as my community service. I still had so much to do. I got to look sexy as hell if I'm going to win that challenge.

I ran up the stairs completely ignoring my mother. I don't care though. She doesn't deserve anything from me. I don't understand why she always looks like I owe her something... like she's saved me from something.

I slammed the door of my room and immediately whipped off my top, rummaging for a sexy but appropriate top. This was the first day and I wanted to look hot but not too hot- my strategy? To tease him.

I quickly loosely curled my hair, threw on a baby pink see-through backless blouse, and squeezed on some ripped and rolled boyfriend jeans. I know I'm cute as hell- and I'm going to take this to my full advantage.

I kept my eyes glued the driveway from my upstairs window. Mom said he was going to pick me up, which I was secretly thankful for. One more minute in the car with either of my parents would have probably landed me in jail.
