I yawn as I cuddle into the couch and turn the Tv volume up. We all are still at Alicia's friends but everyone is out getting food.

Someone knocks on the door and I yell come in. Two cops walk through the front door and I sit up.

"Are you Jessica Reynolds" one cop says. I nod and they look at each other.

"We are gonna have to take you to the station, just to talk" the other one says.

I nod not knowing what else to do. We walk in the hall and I lock the door.

"How did you know I was here" I ask.

"We asked people in the building and around the neighborhood if they have seen you" one says.

Once we get down to the station they take me into a room and one officer sits down while the other stands in the corner.

"Do you know Carl Gallagher" he asks

"No, why" I say without hesitation.

"We think him and a group of friends have been breaking into stores" the other says.

"Is that all" I ask

They exchange looks and then one leads me out of the room.

They bring me back to the apartment and I run inside.

"Carl we need to move to Boston" I say

He gives me a confused look and stands up.

"Why" he asks.

"I just got questioned by the police about you and some friends stealing" I say in a hurry.

"Fuck" he yells.

"We can bring you guys back to Boston no, big deal" Alicia says.

"Yeah, cops in Boston won't know about the stealing" Troy joins in.

I lay on the couch and Carl picks me up. I straddle his waist and lean my forehead against his.

"Everything is gonna be okay baby girl, I got you" he whispers.

I press my lips against his and we hear Troy clear his throat.

"Okay when are we leaving" Alicia asks.

"We need our stuff" Carl says.

"Okay let's go get it" Troy says.

We all call a cab and we go to Carl's house.

Carl and I crab all the stuff we can. We leave a note that tells everyone where we went and how much we love them.

I wake up my brother, sister, and Luke so they can come back home.

Troy and Alicia start their car and we all jump in. I lay my head on Carl's lap and fall asleep while he plays with my hair.
