10.

   We head to the police station. Nothing but silence the entire way there, my mind was at war with itself. Should I tell the truth or lie. My head started to throb and hurt from the frantic battle within it.

We arrived and the officers took me and my sister into the main lobby where we sat in the cold plastic chairs meant for prisoners. They took my dad in for questioning first. Lani scooted her chair towards mine and began to fix her mouth for words. "Did he hit you T?" She asked concerned. I closed my eyes and sighed. "Ye-"

"Kalani. They're ready for you." The CPS officer called, checking off her clipboard. She extended her hand for Lani. Lani looked back at me, "this conversation isn't over." She raised and eyebrow. I exhaled and slid down my chair. I counted the ceiling tiles out of boredom waiting for my turn.

"He's back boys!" An officer yelled amongst the others. I sat up to see what the noise was about. And I saw him. The mystery boy. Suddenly I was hooked. I couldn't stop staring at him and wondering what he was doing here.

"I'm here for my visit." He says to the sheriff at the desk. His voice was so sexy I was melting. His hair was down, covering part of his face which made him even more of an attractive mystery.

"Okay wait over there while they get him ready." The Sheriff said pointing towards my direction. He looks at me and walks toward me. fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. He sat in the chair that Lani was previously in. We sat in silence for moments and avoided eye contact. I couldn't take it anymore, this might be the last time I ever see him again so I need to know what his deal was.

"Who are you?" I say immediately regretting my choice of words. He looked at me confused. "What I mean is, you look so familiar and when I saw you at that coffee shop you approached me then smiled like you knew me and then left so I just need to know, like who you are." I struggle to say.

He chuckles quietly. "Well.. I'm Grayson and I don't know you. I just went into the shop to get warm that's all. I smile at pretty girls so sorry if that freaked you out" He says fast.
"Oh sorry it's just I- wait... did you just call me pretty?" I mention.

"He's ready for you Dolan." Sheriff calls out to him. Grayson winks at me and then goes towards the visiting center. I watched him walk away and started to daze, when suddenly a grip of reality pulled me back.
"Taya, your turn."
