Diversity - Up Close And Personal Book 1

Family Issues

McKenzie P.O.V
"What am I doing here. Let me go" I say as I try to take off these hand cuffs.

That's right handcuffs !

"Listen this isn't the first time you've been here. And when you do come here to do everything you have in your power to leave. But not this time" Officer Brook said.

"Why wouldn't I want to escape. Not everyone likes to be in a question room place , handcuffed to some kind of pole and not being aloud to make a phone call" I explained.

"Well there's no need to make a phone call"

"Why ?" I ask confused.

"The reason that your here is about you mo-"

"MCKENZIE" Dani says as she barge's in through the door.

"DANI" I exclaim as I give her a big hug.

"Ms Danielle Banjo. Pleasure to meet you" Brook says as she Shake's her hand.

"Indeed. So why is my McKenzie here ?" She asks as she grabs a chair and sits down next to me.

"Well like I was saying its about your mo-"

"McKenzie are you in there ?!" I hear Jordan shout.

"I'm in here !" I yell back.

He opens the door and gives me a big hug.

"Thank God your ok"he mumbles.

"Mr Jordan I believe I thinks its best if you leave"

"Excuse me don't kick him out he's my son !" Dani defends.

"Well before I resume what I was saying. Is there any more people out there ?" Brook asks.

"Yes the whole group"

"What about Justin honey ?" Dani asks me

"He had to go back to see his family. It's an emergency" I say a bit disappointed but don't show it too much.

"What a coincidence. Sophie actually just left like 3 hours ago"
Jordan tells me.

"Really"

"Yep. Something about taking back her ex"

"Shocker" I say not surprised.

She was never meant for Perri. Perri was never meant for her. They just weren't right for each other.

"Ok but please can you please leave Mr Jordan. This is very important" Officer Brook says seriously.

"Alright fine. But were not friends anymore" he joked.

After he leaves Officer Brook clears his throat.

I held my hand tight with Dani well sort of. Did I mention that I was still handcuffed ?

"McKenzie this is about your mother" he says carefully.

I stay quiet because I just have no comment.

I nod my head as a sign for him to continue.

"Her court trial is coming up soon.

And yourself along with the rest if your family have to decide whether you want your mom to be kept in jail or released".

"Well I don't know where the rest of my family is" I say ashamed.

And the truth is I didn't. After BGT my family just started falling apart.

My mom and Dad were always fighting. My dad abused me , mom didn't care and my sister well you know how Sierra is now.

She would go to parties , drink and do drugs to 'release the stress ' as she would say.

And my other family member. Well let's save that for later shall we ?

"This isn't a decision you make on your own. But you are 19 so sure"

He uncuffed me slowly Dani and I made our say to the rest if the boys in the waiting room.
