Ali's P.O.V
It's been nearly a week since the incident with Cameron's dad. Non body has heard anything else from him, not me, not the cops, not even Cameron. I've been dealing with it just fine but I have been finding it hard to get to sleep and night but when I do I could sleep for hours. I have also been a little more jumpy than usual, but I suppose I've always been a paranoid person.
I won't go anywhere on my own once it's dark outside, I even had a fight with my mom the other night because I wouldn't go across the street to my neighbours house to borrow some milk because the sun had already set.
I'm trying to not let what happened get to me but it's hard when all I think about is if Cameron's dad is going to waiting around the next corner for me. The only time when I feel truly safe is when I'm with someone and so that's why I've been getting a ride to school with Kian for this week, I haven't drove my car in awhile.
I wouldn't dare tell my mom how I'm feeling because she will just say the exact same thing she has been saying and that is that I need to take a step back from my relationship with Cameron. I don't want to do that and I don't need to do that, it's not like it's going to make me more safe.
I woke up late this morning because I didn't get to sleep until 3:00am and so I didn't hear my alarm go off and I don't even remember my mom calling me. I got dressed quickly into some grey Nike tracksuit pants and a plain white t-shirt and my white converse.
I ran downstairs after brushing in teeth and didn't even bother getting breakfast. I said goodbye to my mom and Emily, grabbed my bag and jumped into the car with Kian, who was waiting for me in the driveway.
I told Kian about how I didn't want to drive to school alone earlier in in the week so he said that he'd take me to school for as log as I needed him to. Not many people know this about Kian but he's actually the sweetest brother, he has my back 24/7 and he always makes time for me and Emily whenever we need him.
Kian and I got to school just as the bell rang. We both ran to our separate lockers and grabbed our books and went to class. I was sat in class listening to the lesson for what felt like the first time in weeks when suddenly I was called to the principals office through the intercom.
I made my way through the halls and to the office which was beside reception. As I walked up to the office doors, two cops came into my view. They were standing talking to my principal and as soon as they heard my footsteps they looked my way.
"Ms.Lawley it's good to see you again" one of the cops smiled
"Hi it's good to see you too" I smiled back as I had one arm holding the other
"We would like to speak to you regarding a Mr. Michael Dallas" the cop said as he looked in his small notebook
I nodded my head and made my way into the office with the two cops following behind me. I sat down in the seat while one of them sat down across from me and the other stayed standing.
"There's been a development in the case but we need your help" the cop spoke
"Yeah of course anything" I said nodding my head
"We need you to tell us again what happened last Tuesday, every detail you can remember" he said opening his notebook again
I proceeded to tell them the story but after I had finished they still didn't seem satisfied with what I had told them. I don't think they thought I was lying, I feel like they wanted more information
"Are you absolutely positive that's everything" the cop pushed
"Yeah I've told you everything that happened that day" I replied
"What about the days leading up to it, was there anything suspicious that happened, did you notice anything weird" he asked
"Actually yeah. On Monday when I came home after leaving school early I woke up because I heard something smash downstairs but nobody was at home except for me. I told my mom and she said it must have been the wind but there's was no windows or doors open" I said.
I had completely forgotten about what had happened on Monday I was so focused on what had occurred on Tuesday. The nodded and I finally felt like they were satisfied
"What have you found out" I asked, admittedly I was a bit scared of the answer
"We believe Mr.Dallas has been the reason for a number of house robberies in the area over the past couple of months. He has caused thousands of dollars worth of damage and stolen hundreds of items that are worth a lot of money. If we do find him and it turns out to be him, he can be put away for a long time" the cop informed me
"Thank you for letting me know, should i be worried that he may come back" I asked worried
"We believe the only reason you were targeted was because of your boyfriend, I don't think there's any reason for you to be concerned for your homes safety" he replied
I nodded my head understanding what he had said but I wasn't completely at ease. " Ms.Lawley we will find him before anything else happens, you don't need to worry and if you have any concerns or questions just call the station. Thank you for your time" he smiled. The two cops walked out of the office and I followed behind grabbing my bag in the process.
I couldn't really believe what I had just been told. What should I say to Cameron, I mean would he want to know that his father is a criminal and he's wanted by the police. I can't tell my mom, she'll freak out. I did what I always did, I went to Kian.
