the heart wants what it wants

Wanted

I got home and ran upstairs. I slammed my door. It was kinda late so I kicked off my combat boots and fell a sleep.

I woke up to a pounding on my front door. Mom texted me telling me that Dad and her were working late at the office so I was home alone with Mark. There was another pounding. I ran downstairs. I was wearing my long Justin Bieber T-shirt and my old basketball shorts from my old basketball team. I looked through the peep hole. It was the police, I thought my brother did something like stole candy from a candy store with his new friends. I opened the door, rubbed my eyes, and started to speak. 

Me: "May I help you officers?"

Police: "Kate Martinez?"

Me: "Yes that would be me. Can I help you?"

Police: "Kate Martinez you are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the to an attorney, if you can not afford one one will be provided for you. Do you understand these rights I just read to you?"

Me: "What, no"

Police: "You have the right to..."

Me: "No I mean, why am I being arrested?"

They put the handcuffs on me and then Mark came downstairs.

Mark: "What's going on Kate? Kate!"

Me: "Mark! Call mom and dad. Tell them I got arrested."

Mark: "KATE!"

They escorted me outside and to the cop car. As I was walking outside I saw Cameron too. He was also getting arrested. They put us in the back of the cop car. As we were riding down I saw a car that looked familiar, and two people that were in the car. It was Max and Janet. They had called the cops on us. Those little traitors. 

Me: "Excuse me officers but what are we getting arrested for?"

Police: "You have been charged with assault and battery."

Cameron: "What?"

Police: "You have been charged..."

Cameron: "I know but who called?"

Police: "That information is to remain anonymous for their safety."

We arrived at the police station. We were allowed 1 phone call. I called my mom and asked her to come bail me out of jail.

Me: "Mom?"

Mom: "Kate? Is everything okay?"

Me: "I got arrested. I need you to come bail me out."

Mom: "Okay I'm on my way."

Then it was Cameron's turn. His parents didn't really like that he got in jail. He started screaming in the phone with his parents. I wonder if they are gonna come bail him.

Me: "Hey are you okay."

Cameron: "Now is not the time Kate."

Me: "What did I do?"

Cameron: "Everything. You keep getting involved."

Me: "What are you talking about? I don't do anything. You're the one who is pushing me to do everything."

Cameron: "Really? Your the one who was going out with Max and caused all the drama. Then you go back to James right after you dump Max. Then you go around acting all tough with your pocket knife and you threaten people. You're not that tough you know. So quit acting like it. You're just a little girl,  who thinks she's better than everyone else and is beautiful.

Me: "You know what never mind. I thought you were my friend. Wait did you call me beautiful?"

Cameron: "Yeah but that's not the point. You gotta give people a chance and quit acting so strong."

Me: "Okay I'm sorry and by the way I don't think I'm better than everyone else."

Cameron: "It's fine. I may have crossed the line. So you know Max and Janet called the cops on us right."

Me: "Yeah."

Cameron: "So what now?"

Me: "I don't know I guess we just sit here and wait for our parents to pick us up. Are your parents gonna come and bail you out?"

Cameron: "No I don't think so. My mom wants me to learn my lesson."

Me: "Oh sorry."

The police then opened the door and stepped in the room.

Police: "Kate your Parents are here."

Me: "Okay thanks."

I walked out leaving Cameron in the room. I think it was the interrogation room. 

The first person I saw was my dad. He looked at me with a face of anger.

Dad: "What is wrong with you. Assault and Battery? What the bloody hell were you thinking?"

Me: "I was upset and my friend was in danger."

Dad: "What that boy Cameron?"

Me: "Yes dad."

Mom: "Sweetie I'm sure what you have to say is important. Let's give her a chance to explain Daniel."

Dad: "No, there is nothing to explain!"

Me: "Come on Dad Cameron is still in that interrogation room. His parents won't bail him."

Mom: "We will do it."

Dad: "What?! No! Of course not. I'm not gonna let my daughter hang around some gangster."

Me: "Don't talk about him that way and he is not a gangster!"

Mom: "Honey, please."

Dad: "Fine."

He started writing a check.

Dad: "Give this to the front desk lady."

The lady took it and before long Cameron was released. We all rode home in my car. We dropped him off at his house then parked the mini van in the drive way. I walked up to my room and feel asleep. I literally was so tired I just passed out on the floor. 

I just want to go back to Nebraska. I just want things to go back to normal. I just want this to all be over.
