Love and other stuff

Chapter 1

I turned my head a little to look at Cam, he looked as if he was contemplating whether he should tell her the truth or not. Why he was even trying to decide whether or not to lie was beyond me. I turned my head to look back over at the officer and started to study her. She looked young but very worn out, she had bright blue eyes and shiny brown hair that was pulled up into a bun.

I think she realized that i was staring at her because she looked at me and quirked up her eyebrows to which i gave her a sheepish smile. i looked back over to Cam hoping to God he figured out what to do but i noticed how perplexed he looked. i rolled my eyes and look over at the officer.

"It was a dare." "Really." she replied disbelievingly. From my peripheral vision i could see Cam looking at me like i had just grown two heads. he is such and idiot all he had to do is tell the truth. "yep." i replied. "would you like to elaborate on that." i shook my head no. i didn't want to get the rest of the guys in trouble

 "i'm sorry i think you misunderstood i wasn't asking i was telling." I sighed "look it was a silly game we were playing at a party we didn't mean any harm i apologize for both of us." i look over at cam again and then back over to her "it just got out of hand but it wasn't like we were actually gonna steal it i left money on one of the cash registers." She closed her eyes and put her head in her hands. "look I've decided to let you off the hook but you have to promise me no more shenanigans. alright?"

I started to shake my head up and down like a mad man "yea of course i promise, we promise this will never happen again." "it better not." she replied before she promptly left the room. I took in a deep breath and started to shake my head, before i could turn back towards cam i felt his arms come around my waist and his chest was against my back. "have i ever told you how amazing you are?" his lips were rubbing against my ear, which made a shiver go down my spine. 

i could feel his smirk. "oh shut it flattery isn't gonna get you anywhere why didn't you say anything." i pushed his arms off me and turned around just in time to see the light blush on his cheeks. " I..I..I ok believe it or not i've never been in a situation like this before." i furrowed my eyebrows in confusion "what do you mean?"

" I mean i've never gotten in trouble before." i quirked my eyebrow at him " what? i thought you were the resident bad boy. how did you even get that title if you've never gotten in trouble before?" He looked embarrassed and shrugged a bit before he gave me an answer. "well It's amazing the amount of bull that comes out of a highschooler's mouth."

I shook my head at him " look i don't want to seem daft but i still don't understand what you're trying to say." He rolled his eyes at me and started to talk slowly " what i am trying to say is that half of the stuff they accuse me of in school is fake."

his statement surprised me i didn't know what to say but my mouth started moving on it own accord. "what really. Then why does everyone believe it." "your asking the wrong person, i've just learned to live with it."

Just as i was about to answer the police woman from before walked in with a folder full of papers. She said there were procedures we needed to do before we got released. after about 10 mins everything we needed to do was done and she let us go free. 

We walked out of the police station hand in hand but pulled apart when we saw a familiar car parked in the parking lot. the blue truck stood out against the police cars. it was Tommy's car. ugh why do we have to deal with him right now. 

we slowly approached the car, personally i was seething with anger it's his fault we were here, if he hadn't taunted cam we wouldn't have had to go through this. when we got to the car Tommy rolled down the window and told us to hop in and that he would take us home.

i shook my head there is no way i'm getting in a car with him. "no thank you i think i prefer walking home." i looked over at cam "what about you?" "uh you know it's a really long walk right." i rolled my eyes and started walking away from the car and on to the sidewalk.

I kept walking for a while, i was still angry at Tommy but at that moment i was extra angry at cam for going with him instead of backing me up. I mean how could he, that monkey face is the reason we were in this situation.

i stomped down the sidewalk and stopped at the cross-section. ugh he's such a piece of shit. I look up at the stop sign and saw i was at the corner of dwindlers and grove. A sigh escaped from my lips my hours is an hours drive from here god knows how long its gonna take to walk there.

I waited until the sign for walking came on and then i crossed the road. I continued to walk for a while, the anger i felt was seeping off of me. i suddenly felt a shiver go down my spine, i looked around and noticed how eerie it was tonight. There were barely any cars out.

I shook my head, it's gonna be fine Aria you're just parnoid. i took my head phone out of my pocket and started listening to jay sean. Jay Sean's beautiful voice calmed me down only slightly, but as i continue to walk i kept feeling like someone was watching me. i turned around, but i didnt see anything.

i lowered the volume, and took one of my head phones out. the only thin i could hear was the soft voice of jay sean and the chirping of crickets. i mentally sighed, im being stupid why would anyone follow me? i'm not special. i continued to walk but the feeling didnt go away.

i stopped and dug my hand into my purse, my hand touched the object i was looking for and i pulled it out. i looked at it to make sure it was the right thing. my mom gave me this pepper spray for emergency's. i gripped the pepper spray and continued to walk. 

I got to another cross-section and instead of pushing the cross walk button, i justd crossed the street. there were no cars in the area which didnt help the creepy feeling in my gut. i tried to shake it off and continued to walk.

i started to hear footsteps behind me, they were loud and sluggish. i quickly turned aorund but no one was there. i gripped on harder to my pepper spray and continued to walk. suddenly the footsteps got louder and faster, the fear finally took over and i burst out into a sprint. 

the person only started to run faster. I was quickly loosing my breath but i kept on runing. damn im so out of shape. i turned my head slightly to see behind me and BAM!
