Scarlette's POV

I held the paper in front of me looking at it but not reading. I didn't want to believe what was in front of me but something was telling me that I needed.

"Scarlette." Grayson said taking the papers out of my hands. 

"Please tell me what we read isn't real." I begged but he just shook his head and pulled me into his chest. I didn't even know what to feel at this point so I just cried. Maybe from anger, maybe from sadness, I just don't know.

"Scarlette I'm going to take pictures of them so we will have proof if you want to talk to your dad." Grayson said un-attaching himself from me to take the pictures.

"What would I even-" I started before people walked in.

"What are you kids doing in here?" a man asked walking over to where Grayson and I were standing.

"I, um," I started but I didn't know how to answer.

"Wait you are Scarlette Cassidy right?" the man asked even though he already knew the answer. "Call the police down here to let them know she is safe. Now you two need to come with me to the front." he ordered taking the files from Grayson's hands before leading us out of the information room.

"Did you get any pictures at all?" I whispered to Grayson.

"I took a picture of the stuff we read." he smiled before looking straight ahead.

After waiting for a few minutes the police and both Grayson and I's parents showed up. Ethan gave Grayson a huge hug then gave me one even though I wasn't his favorite person at the moment. Ms. Dolan hugged Grayson tightly then hugged me with a small smile. My dad stood in the background looking very confused at what he was to do.

"Scarlette, feel free to stay with us if you and your dad aren't getting along." Ms. Dolan smiled to me and I gladly excepted her offer.

"Can Grayson come back to my house with me to get my clothes?" I asked looking over to Grayson with a smile.

"Yeah of course." Ms. Dolan answered happily.

"You are Scarlette Cassidy correct?" an officer asked walking up to me with a notepad and pen in hand.

"Yes sir I am." I answered simply.

"Okay and you are Grayson Dolan correct?" he asked once again and Grayson nodded his head instead of answering verbally. "I need the both of you to answer a few questions. Would you like to answer here or go back to the police station?" the officer asked and Grayson and I looked at each other trying to get the same answer.

"We will answer your questions at the station if that is okay." Grayson answered for us.

"Yes that is perfectly fine." the cop replied turning on his heels and walking us out of the hospital.

"Wait where are you taking my daughter?" my dad asked running out and grabbing my arm.

"Get off of me!" I ordered but he would not let go.

"Sir let go of the girl." the cop ordered and as soon as my dad let go I ran to Grayson and stood very close to him. "We are taking Scarlette and Grayson to the police station for questioning. You can come to the station with us but you will have to sit in a separate room until we are done." the cop answered and my dad looked over to me.

"Fine I'll follow behind." my dad replied walking over to his car.

"Alright guys follow me." the cop said leading us over to the police car.
