Bring Me Back To 5SOS {Book 2}

19- Arrested

Michael's POV

I stood outside the door of the house with the guys behind me, all of us half asleep from jet lag. I rang the doorbell and waited for someone to open the door.

It was the middle of the night, so Maya would still be up. But she didn't open the door. Zoe did.

"Michael!" Zoe squealed, throwing her arms around me. "What are you doing here? I thought you weren't coming back for another month."

"I wanted to surprise you. We finished up some stuff for the album, so management said we could come home early," I said.

"I missed you so much," she said and kissed me.

"Me too," I said. "Let's get inside before we pass out."

I sat down on the couch while the guys ventured off to the kitchen. I'd probably have to wake them up when I went upstairs.

Zoe was quiet when she sat down next to me. Her small hands started squeezing my arm.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I'm sorry, Michael. Maya-she-" She started crying.

"Maya was arrested," Calum said.

"What?" I asked in disbelief.

"The station just called.Sher and her friends are there."

"She was going to a party. I tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen. She said I couldn't stop her because I'm not her mother," Zoe sobbed into my shoulder.

"It's okay. We'll sort this out," I said and kissed her forehead.

I knew Maya was being rebellious lately but I never thought she'd do something as dumb as get arrested. What was I going to do with her?

Maya's POV

I ran and jumped around the cell my friends and I were in. I banged my hands against the bars, making some sort of musical sound. My sudden burst of energy felt so much better than how Leila felt.  She was puking in the corner. 

"Maya, can you stop? You're giving me a headache," Jacob said and put his head in his hands.

"Sorry," I said and sat next to him on the floor. My words became slurred as I came down from my high. "Am I pretty?"

"Gorgeous," he said sarcastically.

I slapped his arm, and his head whipped towards mine. I screamed and pushed myself away from him. His eyes were black.

*~*

The station called our parents after asking us a few questions and told them to pick us up. I wasn't too worried considering it was Zoe who would come get me. I was alone since Jacob and Leila had already left.

I asked an officer if I could make a phone call seeing as mine was confiscated. He seemed hesitant, but another officer told him to let me.

"What's the harm? She's leaving soon anyway," he said and showed me to the phone.

I stared at the numbers on the dial pad. I didn't want to call Dad or the guys. My mind made me absentmindedly type in a familiar but forgotten number.

"Hello?"

"Noah, it's Maya," I said.

"Maya? Why are you calling me? Isn't it like three in the morning in Australia?" He asked.

"Yeah. I-" I slumped to the floor and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "I was arrested."

He sighed and asked, "What did you do?"
