All This Time {Drizzy x Romeo FanFic}

19

(Drizzy's POV)

And so I spent the night in jail. It could be worse, I've already been told that after my trial in a week and a half, I might spend so much longer in prison-- five to ten years.

"Jackson!" The guard calls out and I look up from my spot in my cell. "You've got a visitor." She opens the door and puts the cuffs on me before walking me out to the phone booths I've only seen in movies.

They walk me to one where I see Romeo sitting on the other side. I approach him and the guard takes off my cuffs. "Five minutes." She says and walks away.

Romeo picks up the phone and I do the same. He gives me a sad, apologetic, and worried look. "Hey... how are you?"

"I've obviously seen better days." I sigh. "What you? And... y'know, everyone."

"We miss you. It's been a day but this isn't right. You shouldn't have to stay here. I'm still talking to Riva about this and trying to get you out of here." He says. "And everyone wants to come see you but you're only allowed 1 visitor a day and you can only have visitors on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. And... it's Sunday."

"That's okay, tell everyone that I'll be fine and to trust Riva. I'm probably only here because she told me to stay quiet in that room and let her do all that talking but I didn't listen. I didn't think I said much but apparently, it was enough for them to arrest me." I shrug.

"Um, well..." Romeo mumbles. "Actually... ... ...N-Nevermind, the important thing is she's going to get you out of here."

"I know. Let's... talk about something else." I shake my head. "Doing anything later?"

"Yeah, staying up all night and worrying about you."

I jokingly roll my eyes. "I meant something fun."

"No, I might go visit Josh... but that's not fun, that's worrying," Romeo says.

"How is anyway?" I ask. "Yesterday, you said he was getting out today."

"Don't know yet. They kept him overnight again, James is up there with him right now but I haven't heard anything yet."

"I wanna be kept in the loop, okay? I didn't mean for things to happen like this. Especially not this bad."

"Okay. I wish I could call everyone and let them talk to you. I know they have some much to say. And only 1 of them will be able to come here on Wednesday and by then we'll all have even more to say." Romeo sighs.

"It's fine, I'll talk to them whenever. They can just hold onto it. I wanted to talk to you first anyway. I needed to make sure you're okay." I say.

"I hope Riva gets you out really soon." He sighs again as he puts a hand to the glass. "I'm sorry..."

"You didn't do anything." I put my hand to his. "This--"

"HANDS OFF THE GLASS!" A guard yells and smacks the table causing both Romeo and I to jump. My eyes widen and the guard walks away.

"They never give you a moment's peace in here." I shake my head.

"What's it like? I've only ever been in the holding cell part when they had me stay overnight before questioning me." Romeo says. "What's it like in this one?"

"Annoying. They're always just like that guard who thinks we'll break the glass and run off into the sunset together." I scoff and roll my eyes.

"Make any friends?"

"No. My cellmate is an arse and I haven't gone to the yard or cafeteria. I could've gotten dinner last night but I really just wanted to think and clear my mind. And breakfast hasn't started-- or it's happening right now, I don't know."

"Wow... you're really... ...a jailbird now. Cellmate, the yard... ...wow."

Once again, I playfully roll my eyes. "Yeah, yeah. Okay, I have a plan, leave and get all of the band to commit petty crimes then all of you can join me."

"Then we can take over the jail and break out the way they did on Victorious!"

"Shh! They're gonna catch on!" I joke. "I'm kidding, I'd never agree to that plan. Victorious? Really?"

"What's wrong with it? That's what Draco and I decided back at home anyway. So, he's already onboard. Marcus would probably go for it and you know James will if his new boyfriend will." He scoffs.

"You sound jealous." I tease. "Do you like James or Marcus?"

"Neither-- no, wait... Marcus. He's sexy."

"Ah... guess you have a crush on James then--"

"What?"

"--send him on Wednesday, I'll set it up for you." I wink at him.

"Why are you going to set me up with the opposite person I just told you? Do you want it to fail that bad?" He jokes.

"No, I just don't think you'd truly say who it is."

"Yes, I completely would! You don't know me at all. How long have we known each other?"

"Too long. I know way too much about you."

"No enough obviously. I feel the need to tell you every single thing about me in complete and utter detail."

"Okay, fine, please don't do that. I don't--"

"Too late!" He beams. "And so, to start, I--"

"Time's up!" A guard walks over and I smirk at Romeo. "Let's go, Jackson."

"Saved by bell, see ya Romeo." I give him a quick smile before getting dragged away by the guard putting me in cuffs.
