A Beautiful Disaster

Chapter 32

"For what?", she said facing me. "For all this. If I didn't.. If I didn't went back to Lucia, this wouldn't have happened." She shook her head.
"No. They would've find us anyway. It's not your fault."

She pecked my lips.

"Have you been questioned?", I asked as we sat down. She nodded. "What have you told them?" "The truth." I nodded. "That it was me that told you to do it?" She looked at me confused. "Right?", I said. She shook her head. "No. I don't want you to get locked up for something you didn't do", she said.

I reached for her hands across the table. "Just tell them." She shook her head. "Babe. Tell them the truth", I said. She sighed. "And then what?" "We'll figure that out later, with our lawyer. For now, just tell them the truth."

"How am I supposed to do that? I've already been questioned", she said.

"Just tell them you were wrong, you were panicking and not knowing what to do. They'll give you a second chance. But the truth this time. You can't lie again."

She nodded.

"Are you okay?", I asked. She nodded. "Sorry I ask that a lot. I just need you to be okay." "No I get it. Are you okay?", she asked. "Yeah, I'm good."

"I just think about the moment I'll see you again. You know, when I'm alone", she said. "We'll get to talk to our lawyer soon. We'll see each other again then", I added.

The door opened and two guards walked in. "Time's up ladies", one of them said.

I looked at Demi. "Hang on okay? I'll see you soon", I said. She nodded and I pecked her lips as the guard took me back to my cell.

He handed me a bottle of water. "Thank you", I said. He smiled and nodded as he walked away. I took a sip and put the bottle next to me on the bench. I rested my back against the wall and took a deep breath.

After a few minutes I got up and paced around. All I could think off was Demi and if she was okay. She got scared easily and she's just on her own. I'm not there to protect her.

I layed on the bed and shut my eyes for a bit. I felt myself falling asleep when I heard a loud bang.

I got up. There was screaming. I looked through the bars of my cell.

A woman got dragged in. One of the guards had to lift her up to get her to come with them. She was kicking and screaming.

"Put me down!", she yelled. They stopped at my cell and opened the gate. "Good news. You got a cell mate. Don't kill each other", the guard said laughing. They threw her in and locked the gate again.

She looked at me with the most furious look I'd ever seen.

"Lucia?", I said in disbelief. She raised an eyebrow and sighed. "Seriously?", she said.

"Hey! Can I please get transfered to a different cell!", she yelled. No one answered.

"Guess you're stuck with me for a while. Nice face. Why are you here?", I said. "Shut up. Drugs. You? Oh wait, don't bother. I know why you're here", she said and winked. I pushed her against the wall.

She just smiled.

"I beat you up before. I can do it again without any hesitation", I said.
She rolled her eyes. "Fine. I'm sorry. Can you let me go now?", she said.

I did as she asked and sat on the bed.

I took a sip of my water.

"Can I have some?", she asked. I laughed. "Seriously? You turn us in and now you expect me to give you some? Keep on dreaming."
