Because Of Her.

46 | Crime and Punishment.

A very long chapter... something about 9k. You know what from now on I should just keep my mouth shut because I can't stay on my words lol. I said I would write short chapters but then I write and can't stop.

So enjooooyyy and don't listen to me. You might get confused. Haha.

"What is going on Drake? How it happened?" My voice is a mixture of panic and fear as I look over to Drake. He turns his head to look at me for a second before looking at front.

"I don't know honestly." He answers and drives through the busy traffic of New York. He arrived at my place in less than fifteen minutes to get me. I changed in my jeans the second he hung up and gave me the terrible news. I haven't said anything to Amy when I was rushing to lobby so I could quickly leave with Drake as fast as possible. To her, it was just some work. I didn't want to panic her although I'm sure she won't me as panic as I am but still—it's better to hear the entire news first before telling to anyone about how bad the situation is.

I myself don't know what the situation is and how bad it is. I hope it isn't bad because I can't bear to think what Liam must have gotten himself into that put him behind the bars.

"But how do you know? Who told you that he was in jail?" I ask. I haven't stopped asking questions since I sat in here five minutes ago.

My mind is frantic and I need some of answers especially that indicates Liam is safe and not in much bigger trouble.

"I was at basketball court when I got call from Liam. He told me that he is arrested." He answers.

What?

My eyes are wide with befuddlement at the information he provided. On normal times I would've find it beyond shocking—would've been stunned to hear that Liam called him. But right now my mind is only set on Liam and how he is. So I don't put much thought into it and look at Drake.

"When?" I further ask.

"Thirty minutes ago." He checks the time on dashboard clock before honking at the lady who is driving slower than a turtle.

For god sake move!

"What exactly he said?" I try again. I am highly aware that I'm being annoying right now since I haven't given Drake much time to breathe since he get me but he doesn't complain till now.

As we pass from that turtle lady car rider, I give her a glare. 

"Just that he is arrested. I asked why but he didn't say anything about it and told me to bring you first to him, said that he doesn't have much time to talk over phone. After that a cop informed me to come for further investigation I guess." He shrugs and runs his hand through his neck before turning left.

Liam asked about me?

Why would he ask about me? Shouldn't he be asking about Selena? I mean considering she is his girlfriend? Should I call Selena and tell her? But if Liam wanted too he would've called her didn't he? Or maybe he did and she already there.

"I don't understand. How can he be in jail? I mean an hour ago I was with him and...nothing was wrong." I chew on my inside cheek and fiddle with the hem of my round maroon tee.

Drake head snaps at mine and his shocking eyes fixated on my face.

"Excuse me! What?" He gapes and I realize what I said.

Amy would kill me for this since what I am going to tell Drake is something she hasn't heard yet from my mouth. I hope she understands and doesn't get angry that I told Drake something before her. These days she is paranoid about it and I take full blame of it.
