Hopeless - The sequel to Breathless. A Janoskians fanfic.

16. "I can get them out."

Sierra's POV -

My best friend had just been practically knocked and sent flying across the porch by her own boyfriend Yeah, I agree kissing Skip in front of him probably wasn't the smartest move, but Benji didn't need to react like that, he deserved every punch he'd received. I'd wanted to stay with her, comfort her but Luke was desperate to go to the police station and check on Beau, I didn't blame him, but I was slightly annoyed. "He's my fucking brother, Sierra!" Luke yelled as I complained about him dragging me away, I suddenly felt guilty. I told Jai to look after Isla as I left hand in hand with Luke, Shay was hanging around, I didn't like her at all. She'd been the reason for the divide in the group and she hadn't bothered to get to know anyone, I didn't have time for her. The drive to the police station wasn't too long, five minutes or so, Luke parked up and I watched as Beau, Skip and Benji were taken into the building, each of them covered in blood. Like grabbed my hand and ran towards the door, the building was small from the front, but it sent shivered down my spine, I'd never been in a police station before and I was hoping I never had to again. Everything was so messed up.

We waited at the reception desk, a small, bald man in an officers uniform popped up behind the glass, "can I help you?" he muttered rudely whist sipping on his coffee. He barely kept eye contact and rifled through papers on the desk in front of him, "Beau Brooks and Daniel Sahyounie have just been brought in, can you tell us when they'll be released?" Luke asked politely, still gripping firmly onto my hand, I stroked his hand with my thumb and he almost smiled. The police officer scoffed and replied, "sorry, I can't release information like that." Luke's grip tightened on my hand making me wince and he sighed frustrated. The police officer turned in his chair and stoop up, "Beau's my brother! You have to tell me something!" Luke was getting angry and with a temper as short as his, I hoped officer 'Jackson' would give us some information. "look, son, they're likely to be in here all night, the third party is pressing charges." he muttered before walking off. Luke rested his head against the glass, I pulled him away towards a row of chairs in the opposite corner, no one else was here and it was nervously quiet.

Luke's POV -

All night? How did Benji have the nerve to press charges when he'd thrown Isla to the floor the way he had? Beau and Skip were defending her, none of this was their fault, but as the police arrived, they'd witnessed Beau and Skip hitting Benji, not the other way around. "Luke, they'll get out, once they've had a chance to be interviewed." Sierra stroked my arm gently and leant her head on my shoulder, I leant my head on hers and sighed. I awoke as someone shook my shoulders violently, the bell on the police station door rung and footsteps appeared in front of me. I blinked and looked up, Sierra still had hold of my shoulders and Isla, Shay and Jai stood by the desk. "I need to speak to someone." Isla said sheepishly, "I have informations about the Brooks, Sahyounie, Cooper arrest." she finished and waited. Jai walked over to me and shrugged his shoulders when I questioned Isla's information, "She wouldn't tell me bro, but she seems to think it'll help free Beau and Skip." Sierra stood up and walked over to Isla, but as she neared a woman police officer emerged and took her through the blue double doors.

"What's going on?" Sierra questioned Shay, I knew Sierra didn't like Shay and I could feel the atmosphere turning bitter. Shay bowed her head, looking at the floor and mumbled, "she doesn't want me to tell you guys." Sierra grabbed Shay's shoulders and shook her until their eyes met, Shay had tears in her eyes and Sierra rolled her eyes at the sight. "She's my fucking best friend" she hissed, "just tell me?!" Shay continued to cry, without Beau here to comfort her she looked lost, I walked over to the girls and pulled Sierra away, "Isla doesn't want us to know, just leave her Sierra" I pulled her back to the seats and Shay sat down on the chairs at the other end of the reception. "I'm sorry Shay-" Jai began and joined her, "-if I'd have known Beau and Skip would get involved in this I'd never have called the police." she hugged him, telling him it was okay, telling him he'd done the right thing. In a way he had, but if Benji was set free, it wouldn't just be Isla, Beau and Skip in the firing line, Jai was also at risk.

Jai's POV -

Why the fuck did I call the police? I'd just made this mess a whole lot bigger, I didn't expect Beau and Skip to get arrested, I was just trying to help. How would Beau ever forgive me if he got charged? How would I ever forgive myself? I heard the sirens coming and by the time I'd made it back out into the garden they were cuffed and driven off, Shay looked after Isla and I made sure James and Veronica were okay. James said he'd take Veronica home and phone me later to hear any news, I couldn't just sit around the house and wait for Luke to update me. Isla asked me to take her to the station, "I can get them out." she promised me and of course I drove her and Shay there. Both the girls were still sobbing into their hands, I didn't know what to say to try and make them feel better, nothing was going to work. I wish Ariana was here, she knows me better than I know myself, she would know exactly what I should do. I couldn't even call her because of the time zones, I needed my girlfriend more than anything.

When we got to the police station I saw Sierra's car parked outside, as we walked in I could see Luke sleeping on Sierra's shoulder. It was 12:17am now and I'll admit, I was absolutely shattered, but if Isla could help Beau and Skip, we had to do this. We walked to the desk and Soon Isla was taken away by a female police officer. Isla wouldn't tell me what she was going to tell the police and I respected that, but I was curious, Shay clearly knew but Isla has sworn her to secrecy. Sierra wasn't happy about this, she demanded some sort of answer from Shay and she burst out crying, luckily Luke was there to take control of his girlfriend. Shay sat on the opposite side of the room and I felt like I had to be the one to look after, Beau wouldn't want his own brother to abandon her. "I'm sorry Shay, if I'd have known Beau and Skip would get involved in this I'd never have called the police." I told her, hoping that maybe it would make her feel slightly better, she hugged me tightly, tears still falling from her face, "Jai, it's not your fault, Beau can't help himself." she stuttered, she knew as well as the rest of us that Beau was in love with Isla, I felt sorry for her. Shay walked across the room to the coffee machine and handed one to each of us, Sierra actually smiled when she was handed her paper cup and hugged Shay, something I thought I'd never see. "I'm sorry for snapping, I'm sorry for not giving you a chance. We all need to stick together." she cried and we all sat in one corner, drinking coffee and waiting nervously for Isla, Beau or Skip to return.
