"Miss.Reed?" The police officer asks
"Dallas actually." I mumble looking down.
"Pardon?"
I clear my throat "yep that's me. May I help you?" I ask pulling at the hem of my dress.
"Yes we got an anonymous call at the station about possible abuse towards you." He reads from the paper in his hands the officer looks up at me with a worried face.
A lump forms in my throat.
"I um have no idea what you're talking about." I say looking away
"Yes you do,Shelby." I look next to me to now see Riley. I shoot her a pleading look. "No! Shelby you need to tell the officer the truth."
I look back at the officer to see him patiently waiting.
"Like I said before." I take a breath "I have no idea what your talking about."
This time I look him straight in the eye.
"Officer she's obviously lying she's-"
"Shelby what's going on here" Dylan says pushing past the officer to get to me. My heart beat speeds up.
"That's him." Riley directs the officer towards dylan.
"What's going on here!" Dylan repeats again a bit louder.
"May I please speak to you in private." The officer asks Dylan he nods unknowingly.
They walk out into the hall. I turn to Riley.
"How could you?" I say hurt in my voice
"What? If you think I'm the one who called the cops then your wrong. No matter how much I wanted to I stood by your word and didn't. But I'm not gonna lie I'm happy someone finally did." She says truthfully.
"Then-then who did?" I ask a little more nervous
"I don't know. But who ever did just might have saved your life."
I pace back and forth running my figures through my hair nervously.
A couple minutes of silence past.
"Miss Reed?" I look up to see the officer walking towards me with Dylan following.
"Yes?" I ask quietly.
"Are you sure he hasn't hurt you physically in any way?" The officer hovers a pen over his notepad.
I look towards Dylan who is giving me a stone cold look I take a deep breath
"No."
"That's-thats a lie!" Riley yells
"I'm sorry ma'am but if she doesn't admit to it and there's no proof we can't do anything." The officer states.
"So were just gonna wait till she's lying in. A ditch dead!" She yells
I shut my eyes feeling the tears coming.
