Age Is Just A Number (A Blake Griffin Story)

Chapter 24- Seventeen

Blake stood up quickly and pulled me out of there. He was breathing heavily and he had bruises on his face and neck. He pulled his phone out and called the police. About ten minutes later they arrived and we all had to go to the police station. Including Chris, Blake and me. Greg was brought to the hospital. At the police station we told them everything. From the attack to the letters and pictures. But I also had to tell them that I had attacked Greg with a knife, and so they put me into jail.

"Miss we called your parents and they are on their way."

"Ok."

Blake stood in front of me but between us was a prison bar.

"Why do your parents always have to come, you're old enough."

"Blake I have to tell you something."

"I have to tell you something, too. I'm sorry for how I reacted. It's just...
I-I was involded in a fight in Las Vegas and now the court sent me to do social service and that's why I got that mail from my lawyer. But believe me I didn't do anything wrong. I'm innocent. I didn't want to tell you because I started to get feelings for you and I was afraid that you'd think I would just use you as a someone to help me make them believe that I did my work at your school. I admit that in the beginning I was searching for someone to be my friend so I would have a 'witness' but when I saw you I didn't want to be friends. I wanted to be your boyfriend and so I had to leave you out of this. I'm sorry."

"Blake it's okay that you kept that from me. I understand. And I'm sorry for all the lying and being so curious. I'm just so immature. I'm sorry."

"Don't say that. But from now on we're truly honest with each other, okay? Because I don't have anything left to hide."

"Blake. I-I.."

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

"I have one more lie to confess.

"And that would be?"

"I'm...I'm seventeen."

He looked at me and smiled.

Why the fvck is he smiling?!

"I knew it. I mean most of the students in your classes are seventeen, too and the way your parents always protect you and have to be there to make decisions for you? Plus you never talk about your age. I was kind of assuming something like that.

"I was afraid you wouldn't want to talk to me if you knew I was underage."

"I would have even talked to you if you were fourteen. I'm just happy that I didn't sleep with you."

He said laughing.

"Now I understand why you didn't want to sleep with me. And do I really look like I'm seventeen?"

"Just a bit. But you're a hot seventeen year old."

"So you still want to be with me?"

"Of course. I love you."

"I love you, too."

I started to laugh.

"What's so funny? You're in jail."

"That's why I'm laughing. I would have never imagined to get into jail."

He gave me a kiss through the prison bar and dissapeard.

I looked after him like a lost puppy.

Minutes later he came back with a police officer.

"Congratulations, you can go. The bail of 1,500 dollar has been paid."

He opened the door and I got out and jumped into Blakes arms.

"Thank you baby. I'll pay you back.

"You don't need to pay me back. You being with me is enough for me. Plus you saved my life. Can you imagine what could have happened? I love you so much and I'm glad that you're still here with me."

He had tears in his eyes and I wrapped my arms around his torso. I didn't care that I was in his arms in a police station surrounded by maybe killers or rapists. This was our moment. But it was soon disturbed by who would've guessed?...my parents.

"I'm gonna kill you!" My dad said running towards Blake.

But my mom stopped him.

"You're going into jail!!!"

"We still didn't do anything with each other and if someone should go to jail then it's you for beating me up!"

My mom looked at my dad.

"Yes mum, that's why I ran away."

"Guys let's just leave all of this alone for a minute and be happy that you're still alive. The most important thing right now is that you're safe and that your attacker got arrested."

"Yes I think we should all listen to mum."

My father just glared at me.

"We're going home. NOW."

The ride home was silent. I didn't want to go with them but I had to. My father didn't even let me say goodbye to Blake. As soon as we got home I went into my room.

"Dana! We need to talk."

My father screamed after me.

"Leave her alone. She needs her space. "

I heard my mom say as I closed my door. Jumping on my bed which I didn't want to be on right now or even in this house I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

In the next few days I hadn't really talked with my parents. I was still so angry at my dad for hitting me and I just couldn't look him in the eyes. At least not yet.

It was so boring. My phone was still at Blakes and I haven't talked to him in three days plus I'm not allowed to go out until next week when I have to go to school again which is very dumb because I only have two weeks left. Speaking of school. I really need to look for colleges and I have to study for the final exams.

I sat at my desk and did a few math tasks when I suddenly saw a flash on my window. I looked out and it was Blakes' car. I smiled and quietly climbed out of my window.
