Sweet Nothing (5SOS)

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

I woke up the next morning and I didn't hear any noises or yelling- I was immediately suspicious. I didn't even hear Brad come in last night. If he came home at all.

I decided to get out of my bed and check his room. No one was in there. I went to the kitchen and poured some cereal into a bowl, I slowly began to chew but I knew something was wrong.

I turned on the news and sat through the weather- so I would know when Brad asked. I almost shut it off when it gets over but as they started in on the real news I saw something I though I would never see. It was Brad.  I turned it up and tried to listen to what the news reporter was saying.

"This young man here, has been the cause of this two car accident. Underage drinking did play a part, and there were no survivors in the other car. No names are being released yet but he will be spending some time in prison for his crimes," The reporter says solemnly.

What in the actual...? No this can not be Brad! I grabbed my phone and tried to calling his cell phone- no answer. I tried caming myself down, I need to calmly go to the police station.

I grabbed some change for the bus money. What was going to happen to me if Brad was really in jail? Maybe it's a differen't guy I tried to convince myself.

Once I arrived to the police station I went to the front desk.

"May I help you?" the Officer asked.

"Yeah, is Brad Tanner here?" I asked.

"That's confidential."

"Please I'm his sister and I need to know why he didn't come home last night."

"He just arrived this morning, may I ask your name?" The officer sighed.

"Juliet Tanner," I tried to look past him a bit.

"Are your parents around?" The officer asked.

I hesitated to answer, " No....they're gone" I say quietly.

"Is there any other family member that will be able to take care of you around here?" The officer asked. I think about Ryder, but I'm pretty sure he isn't exactly 'around here.'

"No sir, that's why I need Brad," I pleaded.

"Sorry, he has to spend at least probably 4 years in jail because of his crime and underage drinking," He said.

"Where am I going to live?" I cried.

"Were going to have to send you somewhere, we'll come by tomorrow and talk everything out," The officer said.

I sighed, if it was the only choice I have. I went to go find Brad's cell. Another officer led me back there. I can't believe Brad would do something so stupid. He is the one making me leave him.

When I got to his cell he was crying. I hated seeing him like this. I wish he could take back his stupid mistake.. I love him so much.

When he saw me standing outside the cell he stopped crying. He probably thought I was here to save him. But we don't have that type of money. I wish I did though. I am going to miss him for four whole years or more.

"How did you find me here?" Brad asked.

"You're all over the news, I can't believe you did this," I said.

"I know Juliet and I am sorry, you're getting me out right?" Brad asked.

"No Brad we don't have the money, they're sending me away," I started crying.

"Juliet, no you can't just leave me here," Brad said, yelling.

"I have to I'm sorry, I love you but I can't do anything right now," I tried to reason with him.

I started to walk away, I could not see this anymore. He began yelling at me and banging on the bars violently. I started crying more. After tomorrow I was going to be in the foster home. What was I going to do without him?

Clair got her wish, he's gone. I have nothing. Why is this happening to me?

There is going to be a lot of packing happening tomorrow. And not for the first time, I cried myself to sleep.
