Alyah's POV :

I was waiting inside the NYPD building, it was cold but I was trying to take it and patiently wait

I was alone in the building with some white NYPD officer sitting behind a desk

It wasn't the first time that I was doing this, I did it  multiple times for Arion before, even tho I was only 16, they didn't care as long as someone was coming for them. I never asked Arion questions cause I knew better and I understood that there were things that he had to do, bad things

But even if I wasn't new to this, I was stressed. My legs were bouncing by themselves, and the neon grill above my head, that was flashing, was only irritating me and making me stress even more

I could see offices from where I was but no signs of Kevin, it had been hours now

I deeply sighed and went back to my thoughts

Was he safe ? Was he injured? What did he do ?

Those were my main questions. I put my face in my hands and started to rub on it in hopes of calming myself, but in vain

"Someone for Kevin Perez" the officer called

I stood up and walked to his desk

"His bail is 10000$ how are you paying ?" he said to me

"In cash" I said before taking an envelope filled with money that I earned from social media and from tutoring

No more going out for me for the rest of the month, that was certain

I gave him the money then saw Kevin walking towards me, I looked at him up and down, quickly making sure he hadn't any visible injuries, before turning around and walking out of the police station. I heard  footsteps behind me meaning that he was following me

When we got out I ordered a cab and waited in front of the street, he stood up next to me

"Thank you" I heard him say

I stood quite

"I will pay you back, I promise just give me a day or two" he added

"No it's ok" I said without looking at him

"No I'll pay you back it's not négociable"

I exhaled deeply

"Why did you give them my number ?" I asked him

"Cause my mom can't know about nun of that, and Doug wasn't picking up" he said

"And yo girlfriend ?" I asked

He sighed "I don't want to involve her in this"

He had to be kidding me

"Oh so you don't want to involve her in this, but you got no problem having the cops calling me at 1 am to go pay yo fucking baill, that's what you sayin" I said starting to get upset

He smacked his lips "Man it's not even like that, it's just that she doesn't belong to this world"

"Oh but I do ?" I asked choked

"She don't got my back like you do that's it, I know I can count on you" he said looking at me in the eyes

My face softened at his words, even if deep down I knew that he was lying and was manipulating me, I wanted to believe him, I wanted to believe that I was the one who was there for him, the one he trusted, the only one who had his back. So I accepted his apology and believed him
