Cuffed

Chapter 1

“You got to be kidding me” I snapped “What he doing here?” I asked

“He’s not in there Clover” Jake answered

I looked at him in confusion

“Then who is?” I asked

“Your mother…” He replied

“What’s she doing in my dad’s car?”

“I don’t know, when I was coming to bail you out she called me over and told me she wanted to speak to you”

I nodded my head

“Tina” A voice barked I turned to see her brother calling her

“Let’s go” He growled

“What an amazing brother you got there” I replied eyeing him

“ I know he’s in a bad mood. I got to go” She said sadness filling her eyes

“Tina” He called again

“I’m coming” She said back

“Don’t look so glum we’ll talk soon don’t worry”

“How do you know?” She asked

“I just do” She nodded slowly before waving at Jake and giving me a quick hug

“She seems like a sweet girl”

“Not much younger than us” I replied “She’s only 20”

He raised an eyebrow at me but didn’t say anything.

“Alright I’ll talk to later Jake I want to see what my mom wants” He nodded his head at me while I made my way toward the car.

“What do you want mum?” I asked as I slid into the back of the car.

“Oh hello Clover”

“What do you want mom?” I repeated ignoring her greeting

“Why would you think I want something?”

“Because you already told me you aren’t bailing me out so why are you here?” I asked “You obviously want something or else you wouldn’t be here and why are you in dad’s car?”

“It’s not something I want Clover it’s something I need for you to do”

I narrowed my eyes at my mother.

“What do you need me to do?” I asked

She fell quite for a couple moments.

“I can’t do this anymore Clover!”

“Jeez Christ do what anymore mother! First you show up here, and then you tell me you need me to do something and now you say you can’t do this anymore? What are you talking about?!”

“You Clover! Your who I’m talking about!  I can’t deal with this anymore! I can’t go through what you put me thru! All you ever do is get arrested and go to jail!”

“Since when does that matter to you? I haven’t called you to bail me out in forever!”

“You need to grow up” She replied “You need to stop messing with the law and get your life together…So we decided”

“Who decided?”

“Me and your father”

“Decided what?” I asked

“That you’re moving in with your father” She answered

I looked at my mother laughter spilling out of me.
