I sit on the edge of the prison cell bed, listening in on Miles's dad conversation over the phone.

"Yeah, I don't know where the hell this girls parents are."
Then, a pause.
"No, she's just gonna stay in one of the cells."
Then another pause.
"Baby, calm down. There's constant surveillance. And-"
He paused again as I could vaguely hear loud gibberish coming from his phone.
"Ok Ok fine."

He took his phone away from his ear as he pressed the hang-up button, turning towards me as I quickly spun my head around. Hopefully, he didn't notice that I was totally eavesdropping.

I heard him sigh before walking away. Then I only heard muffled voices that I could only guess were between him and Miles.

I clear my throat and look down at my shoes.
What is happening right now...? Feeling the cell beds rough material under my hand, I try to lie down only to get back up straight away.
"Damn," I mutter to myself. That shit is uncomfortable.

As I fidget with my hands, I begin to hear footsteps echoing down the hall towards my cell, and for some reason, I sigh with relief when I see it's just Miles.

My whole body felt on edge, and all I wanted to do was be at home with Megan.

I look away from Miles. But I can't be with Megan..

"Hey," his voice snaps me out of my thoughts as I look up at him with watery eyes, "look, I know you barely know me but like... my mum heard about what happened and she didn't want you staying in some prison cell... she also wants to feed you...umm. Sorry, this sounds weird no matter how I put it, but do you wanna stay at mine?"

My eyes widen as he looks at me with a half-smile.
"W-what?" I frown at him. Why is his whole family being nice to me now? What did I even do to deserve any of this? I'm not a good person..
"Just come over, it will be better than staying here. Trust me."

"Umm, sure, I guess."
