"I knew it! We're innocent!" Marcel squeals.

"Of course. He also said...." A woman's voice interrupts me.

"Time to go ladies."

"No! It hasn't been long enough!" Emily screams at her.

"Shut up." Officer Rossdale walks closer to us now.

"What did he say?" Marcel urges me to finish, but I can't not in front of Officer Rossdale. I just shake my head as Officer Rossdale pulls us away from my love.

"Ember! Emily!" Marcel calls and I turn back.

"I love you Marcel, I'll be back." I yell back to him.

"Ember don't leave. I need you. I'm innocent, damnit!" He screams and falls to the floor, his head in his hands.

Officer Rossdale grips our arms tightly and pulls us out the door.

"Now get out of here before I tell the hospital where you are." She spits and pushes me.

"Don't push her like that." Emily growls. I can tell she is holding back from just about killing her.

"Get out." Officer says before stepping closer. Emily takes my hand and we run out of the building. Once we are safely in Harry's car she turns to me.

"Where do we go?"

"Just drive. There is no way that Johnny can predict where we are going. No possible way." She nods and starts the engine, pulling out of the police station.

Tears roll down my face.

Where do we go from here?

Where is Harry?

How will we stay safe?

Emily passes a sign that says "Now Leaving Edwardsville." My brain changing the words to now leaving Marcel. I cried harder. How can I leave Marcel? HOW?

What is wrong with you Ember?

You always take the easy way out, Ember. Always.

Not this time. No, I'm not taking the easy way out. I'm going to fight.

"Emily. Turn the car around, we're staying in Edwardsville."
