Grayson's POV
Scarlette just stood there not moving an inch just staring. It was hardly even staring if you looked into her eyes. She looked so lost, sad, and confused. I hate that she is having to go through this and that's why I wanted to keep it from her.
"Scarlette please say something." I begged softly. I tried to walk closer and hug her but she just backed away and shook her head.
"Get out, please." Scarlette ordered which caught me by surprise.
"Wait what?" I asked to make sure I heard her clearly.
"You heard me. Get out!" she ordered once again just a little louder.
"I'll talk to you later." I said slipping on my shoes as I walked closer to the door. "I love you."
I walked down to Scarlette's house and cops were swarming.
"Just tell us how the body got into your car Mr. Cassidy!" a cop said writing something on his notepad.
"I seriously don't know how she got in there." Mr. Cassidy replied crossing his arms over his chest.
"I know how." I said with a smirk until the cops turned around.
"Who are you?" one of the cops asked.
"Hey you're Grayson Dolan right?" a different cop asked.
"Yeah that would be me." I answered closing my eyes and realizing I just turned myself in.
"Tell us what you know then we are taking you home." the cop ordered and I nodded my head.
"He killed Adelaide Johnson!" a voice yelled from the street.
"I would never kill anyone!" Mr. Cassidy argued.
"He did, didn't he Grayson?" Scarlette asked walking up to me and looking me in the eyes.
"Y- yes he did." I answered keeping my eyes on Scarlette's.
"Do you have any proof?" one of the cops asked.
"It depends. Grayson was my mom shot?" Scarlette asked crossing her arms over her chest just like her dad did before.
"Wait Adelaide Johnson is your mom? Scarlette Cassidy? You two have a lot of explaining to do." the cop asked moving the hood off her head.
"Yes sir." she answered with no expression.
"Oh my god Scarlette!" Mr. Cassidy yelled running over and trying to hug her.
"Don't touch me murderer!" Scarlette yelled. "There's a gun in the underwear drawer in the room to the left of the stairs. If there's a bullet missing, there's your proof." Scarlette said before running off.
"Catch the girl!" the cop yelled. "Stay right here. I am going inside the house and I will be right back."
"Yes sir." I replied trying not to laugh at Scarlette's actions.
As soon as the cop was inside I took a few steps back and saw Scarlette running as fast as possible.
"What are you laughing at?" the cop asked as soon as he got back outside.
"Nothing officer." I answered with a smirk.
"Arrest him!" the officer yelled pointing to Mr. Cassidy.
"Wait no I'm innocent!" Mr. Cassidy argued but it was no use. They grabbed Mr. Cassidy's wrists and cuffed them before shoving him into the backseat.

Scarlette's POV
I ran and ran and ran and ran until I couldn't keep going. My breath was so heavy and my heart beat was anything but steady. I was so confused, scared, and just so many things at once.
I took a right turn hoping I would lose the cops but I just got myself stuck. There was a line of cops blocking every way out and there were cops following behind me.
"We are not going to hurt you! We just want to take you in for questioning!" one of the cops yelled from his car.
Being as confused as I was didn't help because part of me wanted to run for my life then the other part of me wanted to stay and try to find a positive side to this. I dropped to the ground and hid my face in my palms.
My breathing is so heavy and my heart beat is going so fast I can hear it. I lifted my head up and a cop grabbed my wrists and took me to the car.
"We are going to go pick up Grayson. Can we trust you two sitting together?" the cop asked from the front seat.
"Yeah it's not like we are going to fuck." I said not realizing how cocky I am sounding right now.
He rolled his eyes then picked up his speed until we pulled up to the house.
"Sir we have already taken Mr. Cassidy to the station because we found evidence that he was the murderer." a different officer said popping his head through the window. "You caught the girl?" he mumbled.
"Yeah we blocked her from running any farther and now we are taking her and Grayson down for interrogation." the cop answered with a proud smile.
"I could've kept running." I said under my breath.
"Don't get cocky kid. We can always put you in jail for this." the cop standing outside the car said.
"Which side am I putting him on Officer Charles?" a different cop asked walking up to the car with Grayson.
"Um put him on the right side." Officer Charles answered looking back to see which side I was sitting on.
They slipped Grayson into the seat beside me then Officer Charles drove off.
"Are you okay?" Grayson whispered.
"Yeah I guess so. Are you?" I asked in response.
"Yeah I'm just worried about you. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you about your mom as soon as it happened. I was just so scared for you and I didn't want to see you hurt." Grayson said quickly before officer Charles cleared his throat.
"We are going to be okay. I promise." Grayson said before facing forward.
"Don't make a promise you can't keep." I said shaking my head then leaning my head on the window.
"Let me go!" a man yelled waking me from my sleep.
"Charles he's still acting up do you want to take him?" an officer asked running up to the car.
I sat up slightly to see who they were talking about and then I made eye contact with my dad.
"No I have to take care of these two right now. Cuff him to a chair and if no one talks to him in an hour then come and get me." Officer Charles said getting out of the car and then helping Grayson and I out.
"Yes sir." the cop replied before running back to my dad.
"Why couldn't you just shoot him?" I asked seriously.
"Because it's illegal to shoot an unarmed man." Charles said as we walked past my dad.
"But you guys do it all the time." I said and he turned me around quickly.
He looked me dead in the eye then said, "Take this one in and start interrogating him. I need to talk to her."
Another officer took Grayson inside then Charles started walking me in a different direction.
