clementine had no desire to answer any questions, but she wanted to get liam into as much trouble as possible, so followed the police officer into the small room without defiance. it wasn't the one from before, but it looked much the same. jessica and louis were led to different rooms, probably so that the police could see whether or not their stories were the same. clementine didn't know why; they didn't do that last time.

"we don't have many questions for you. we just want to know how he took you, where he took you and how you got away."

that, clementine could live with.

"well, i don't know how he did it, but he showed up at our door- "

"wait, when you say 'our door', what do you mean?"

clementine blushed before correcting herself, realising she'd referred to harry and niall's house as her own.

"i mean harry's house."

"i see. please, continue."

"he showed up at the door when niall was out somewhere. he banged and banged and banged on it until eventually harry got up and opened it. i stayed in my bedroom so i didn't see what happened, but i heard a lot of shouting and fighting, then liam screamed something at harry and the fighting stopped and i couldn't hear harry anymore. then liam started calling out to me as though i missed him. i think he had this crazy idea in his head that i was scared of harry and niall and that i wanted him to break in and take me away."

"why do you think that?"

"because he talked to me like he had saved me, calling me baby and saying that everything was okay and that he was there for me now. he's insane, officer."

"he might be, he might not. what happened after that?"

"he dragged me away, which was when i saw harry all beaten up and unconscious on the ground, and no one else in the apartment building came out to help..."

clementine continued telling him what happened; how she put liam to sleep and how he was probably still there, how she was going to call the police but the number wouldn't work so she called her sister instead, how louis helped her out and she got away. she also told him how liam had slapped her. once she was finished and the officer had completed writing everything down, he looked up at her thoughtfully as he asked his final question.

"now, miss, is there anything you want to ask of me?"

clementine thought about it for a moment, then the question came out that she had been dying to ask for a while.

"will liam go to jail?"

the officer smiled, nodding his head.

"probably, yes. he did kidnap you, take you away against your will, constantly verbally abused you and beat a man unconscious. he can't be charged with breaking and entering as harry did open the door for him, but what he's done is very punishable. he slapped you as well, which doesn't help his case. if he doesn't go to jail after all the court procedures, we will try to get a restraining order put on him. is that alright?"

"yes, that's perfect. as long as i never have to speak to him again."

"that can definitely be arranged, miss."
