Falling For You

Chapter 25.

Vanessa P.O.V

"What for?" I heard Shawn say and the whole class was just watching Shawn get taken out of the room.

"For having an intimate relationship with one of your students," said one of the officers, and the other walked to the front of the class.

"Can we please see Vanessa Garcia?" Said the other officer and my eyes widened even more.

I got up from my desk and heard numerous comments from people saying 'whore' or 'slut.'  I walked out with the officer, and from what I saw, outside they were putting Shawn in one of their cars.

"Now Ms. Garcia, we just want to ask you some questions down at the station if that's okay," the officer told me and I nodded.

"Alrighty then, follow me," he said and he led me out of the school into his car.

"Alright so we just want some answers, and we expect that you tell us the truth Ms. Garcia," the officer said as I sat down in one of the questioning rooms.

"Of course," I said and folded my hands together while fixing my posture.

"Okay," said the officer and he sat down in the chair across from me.

"Now how old are you Vanessa," he questioned and I was quick to respond.

"I am eighteen," I said and he nodded.

"Oh so you are legal," he said and I nodded.

"Well do you admit that you have any attraction to Mr. Mendes, and did he force you do be in a relationship with him?" He asked and I shook my head.

"I do not have any sort of attraction to him, nor will I ever.  He is my teacher and from what I was taught I would like to keep it that way.  And not once did he force me to do anything or have a relationship with him because we don't."

"I see, then why all these accusations?" He asked.

"It's because I was in the hospital before all of this, and when I got out, my mom wasn't there for me, so Mr. Mendes took me in.  He's a family friend so all of this is just a huge misunderstanding.  I've been living with him, yes, but nothing happened he's just looking after me."

"Are you sure?" He questioned and I nodded.

"I'm sure officer, and even if something was happening, I'm a legal adult of age, and I understand that he is my teacher, but I'm graduating in a month so I don't see why it would matter," I said and he nodded.

"I see your point, and until then, nothing can happen between you and him, and we will let him go, but if anything like this occurs again, he will be placed in jail," he said in a firm tone and I nodded.

"I understand, thank you," I said and walked out of the room.

I walked out and saw Shawn sitting in a chair looking down at his hands that were chained in handcuffs.  I walked passed him, and tried not making eye contact, since there would be people watching to see if I was lying or not.

"Alright Mr. Mendes you may go home," I heard someone say and I smiled quietly to myself.

I walked out of the station and sensed someone following me.  Suddenly, I felt some violently grab my arm and pull me into the alley next to the station.  I tried screaming for Shawn or someone, but the persons hand was covering my mouth.

"Well hello Vanessa, long time no see huh?" From the smell I could already sense who it was.

"How about we finish what we started," he said and removed his hand from my mouth.

I turned around to see him.  The man.
