Luke's POV

"What the hell is going on here?" Violet's voice shrieks.

Madison's eyes go wide and her face pales as she looks in her direction. I drop my gaze from her and turn to look, finding not only Violet standing there, but also the police. I look back to her and to the boy that now lays on the ground.

"Is anyone going to answer?" The police guy says.

What do I do? Do I cover my own ass, or tell the truth? Before I can answer, Madison says, "I was walking and back here, and this guy was coming after me. I couldn't handle it myself so Luke had to step in."

The police nods and one of them takes my arm, the other one taking Madison's arm, leading us outside. The boys are already out there, looking as freaked out as me. We all knew about our past history about the police.

We are both lined up against the wall and the cop tells us to stay where we are; separated from the group. I glance over at Madison as her face looks paler and paler. Seeing as I've been through this process more than once, I wasn't as scared. Madison on the other hand have never been through this before, and I'm sure she was scared as hell.

I reach my hand over and try to cover my hand in hers. Trying to reassure her, but she yanks her whole body away from me, and steps further away, creating distance.

"Which one of you is Luke Hemmings?" The officer asks.

Is that a trick question? "Uh me?" I step up from the wall.

"Luke Hemmings you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." He says, and harshly locks my hands around my back.

"Whoa, whoa. What did he do?" I hear Calum speak up, raising his voice in a flippant manner.

"Watch it mate, I have a record on you too that I would gladly use against you." The cop retorts, while walking me to the police car.

"Watch your head." He says as he locks me in the car.

"No shit." I groan as the door slams.

I watch as the cop walks back to the rest of the group and I'm guessing 'explains my situation'. Madison stares in my direction the whole time, but I doubt she can actually see me through the tented window. She wipes her face as if she's wiping a tear away, and my heart shatters.

As per usual, I automatically feel angry with myself for feeling this kind of emotion, so I promise myself yet again that I'll stay away from her this time. The cop enters the car again, and speeds down the road, leaving my guys in the distance.

I get placed in a jail cell all by myself. The cold metal bed seeps through my tight jeans, making me shiver. I admire the floor for a moment, the dirty stains that were probably blood stains make patterns in the tile. As I look closer, the huge puddle that was once blood starts descending into small droplets that lead outside of the jail cell and down the hall.
I'd say from how much blood is still here, whoever got hurt probably bled out before they reached the infirmary. I hear footsteps from down the hallway followed by screaming. "I'll gut you!" A males voice calls out.

The officer I'm assuming chuckles at his foolishness, seeing as how this new inmate could do no harm to the protected officer. The screeches get louder as they get to my jail cell. "Meet your rommie." The officer smirks, releasing this heavy set gruby looking guy on me.
As soon as the officer leaves, the guy seems to calm down some. I glance at him once, but look away, clearly intimidated from his broad posture. I can feel his eyes burning through me, however. I glance over at him and sure enough, his eyes lock to mine.
