𝐈 𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐒 my boyfriend's body in the back of Kiara's dad's truck as I puffed on his vape. I was exhausted after my dad and I just wanted to go home and see my sister.

I brought my head up to check my surroundings when the car came to a stop. I scoffed at the destination, "Johnny, what are we doing at the police station?"

"Somebody's gotta tell them, Hales." He spoke up, turning his body round to see me.

He was cut off when Pope began to cough uncontrollably due to the vape I had just handed to him, "Easy there, chief." JJ spoke up, "Damn."

My boyfriend leaned out of his seat so he could see the brunette boy better, "I'm just gonna be real with you right now. You might end up in the lion's den, but you don't go there on purpose. It's fundamental. Just like my old man always told me, you should never trust cops, no matter the circumstances."

"Your old man's an abusive liar." The curly-haired girl scoffed.

I watched the blonde girl send my boyfriend a pitiful expression, earning a glare from me. I was already cranky enough due to my lack of sleep.

I nodded, "I agree with JJ."

Pope agreed, "Fuck the police."

Kie rolled her eyes, "So, you're going to the dark side now?" She said sarcastically before glancing to the blonde and I.

I scoffed, "When was the last time the police ever helped us?"

Olivia frowned, "Peterkin was a nice lady."

"Exactly." The Routledge nodded, "She looked out for me. They need to know."

I sighed heavily before cuddling further into my boyfriend. He wrapped his arms around my body even more if that was possible and pressed a sweet kiss to my forehead.

I hummed in contentment, slowly drifting into a light sleep before John B's yells startled me. I jumped from my seat anxiously as the boy scrambled to get into the car.

The Carrera was quick to start the car and drive away from the police station. The brunette leaned back against his seat in defeat.

I frowned, "What happened?"

He turned to me with a fearful expression, "They think it was me. They think I killed her."

𝐈 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐀𝐒𝐊𝐄𝐃 to be dropped at home for the time being. After everything that had went down, I needed to see my sister. She was probably worried sick as I hadn't spoken to her for about a week.

"Riles?" I called out as I entered my home.

She quickly hurried over to my side, "What's wrong? Are you okay?" She asked.

I felt tears prick my eyes at the thought of the recent events, "Have you not heard the news?" She shook her head anxiously as she awaited my next words, "Sherriff Peterkin is dead."

Her face paled at my words, "What? How? What happened?"

I looked down as I tried my best to stop the tears from spilling, "Rafe Cameron shot her."

"Hayley." She started, "Hayley, you-"

I cut her off, "Ward Cameron told them John B did it." I told her, "I don't know what to do."

"Oh, my God. Hales," She spoke, tears welling in her own eyes now. "I'm so sorry."

She pulled me into her arms as I cried, rubbing my back comfortingly. I blinked repeatedly, trying to stop my watering eyes but there was no use. I had been holding it in for too long.

I sniffed, "I just really needed to see you. The Pogues are coming to pick me up tomorrow."

"I'll come with you." She spoke immediately, "I'm not letting you go through this by yourself."

"Riles, are you sure?" I questioned.

She nodded, "You and me forever. Where you go I go."
