Mr. Officer ( A Short Jacob Latimore Story)

Chapter 17: Cause & Effect

5 Days Later

I laid on the sofa in the dark listening to some music. I was exhausted from all of the crying I was doing. I probably don't have anymore tears. I heard my door open and I knew it was my sister. She stormed in turning on the lights. "Come on get up" she said

"What? No I'm chilling"

"You've been locked up in this house for 4 days now I gave you your time to cry it out and get yourself together. You need to get up" she said

"No Jackie , I don't wanna do anything just leave me alone" I said getting teary eyed.

"Aww sis" she frowned and walked over to sit next to me. "He didn't even give me a chance to say anything, he just went off on me and insulted my intelligence" I cried.

"Maybe he's right , maybe I am a little-

"What? Stop right there are you going to let this midget of an officer tell you who you are as a person. You've only known him four a couple of months he doesn't know a damn thing about you. Yes, you do make some crazy mistakes sometimes but your human. He cant judge your character off two incidents. " She said while I was still crying.

"My goodness Tia I could see if you two were married." She said handing me a box of tissues.

"He hurt my feelings plus I don't even know about this job. My career is super fucked up now" I whined

"Tia you don't even like your career lets be completely honest. That was never your dream you're just too scared to follow your real one" she said. And she was right being a judge had its pros and cons but I really wanted to start my bakery but I may not make the money that I do now.

"You're right, I completely understand you but right now I'm in no mood to do a thing.

"Okay Tee I'll give you a few more days" she said opening my blinds letting in some light. "Can you at least shower? She laughed. I got up as she looked at my frizzy hair "Before I leave I want you to know that you're a judge you went to law school for 6 years graduated from NYU with a bachelors while your over here crying over a guy that went to officer camp please girl" she said. I chuckled a little at her statement. Jackie was the queen of shade me on the other hand wad too nice.

"Thanks Jackie" I half smiled.

"Call me if you need anything, and don't do anything crazy" she said closing the door. She was referring to Santana the other day I planned on barging at his house getting all of the answers I wanted but then I thought that may not be a good idea due to this case. I walked to the bathroom running my water. Placing the bubble bath in I then lit a few candles. With all this stress I need some peace and tranquility. I turned on my speakers playing some Mary J. Blige. I took my robe off getting in laying my head back.

I placed my hair in a messy bun throwing on my pink sweat suit. I listened to my sister words and she was right I really wanted to start my company it's not like I didn't have the money to but I needed support. Since I'm still on suspension I was thinking to do alot of baking. I grabbed my keys and purse but before I could open the door I heard a knock on the door. I looked out of the peep whole but couldn't clearly see who it was.

"Ms. Tia this Detective Shawn and Daniel we just have to ask you a few questions" They said.

"Shit" I mumbled. I slowly opened the door

"Do you mind going downtown with us? He asked.

"I have no choice do I " I said smartly. This was so unbelievable I felt like I have been sleep for days and no one has woke me up is this a dream? I knew I was innocent so there was nothing to worry about but it terrifying to be on the other side.
