We've Got Unfinished Business

Chapter 18

 Chapter 18! Sorry it took me a while, I couldn't think of what to do for this chapter, this is more of a filler though. Sorry :/

Alex-

Don't get me wrong, seeing Harper was the only thing I wanted. But seeing her like that wasn't what I wanted. Seeing her have staples in her head, seeing her sob because her best friend has turned into an extreme fuck up towards her, seeing her be questioned about the police because they don't know what they're doing.

The police brought her into a small room with no windows, off white paint, no air conditioning, and a dull light. They did ask her if she wanted a drink, but that was the only considerate thing that came out of their mouths.

“When did you guys become such dickheads?” I asked when a detective passed me in the most uncomfortable waiting room.

“What was that?” He turned around and asked.

“What are you even asking her? She didn't do anything. But then again, I doubt you could even figure that out.” I laughed.

“I think you should shut your mouth young man”

“Oh shut the fuck up, you prick. I'm 25” I stood up.

“I don't have to take this.”

“Alex”

I turned around and saw Harper looking at me. She had her hair up loosely, I doubt she wanted to do it tight because of the staples. She didn't have any make up on and I guess that's why I could very clearly see the tired bags under her eyes. Her brows knitted together as she watched me nearly get into the douche bag detective's face.

I took a deep breath and took a step back from dick face. She slowly walked over to me and smiled at the sight in the chair. Both of her brothers were leaned back on the wall behind the chairs, lightly snoring, while her mom leaned on Justin with her arms and legs curled up.

I grabbed her hand and kissed the side of her head.

“Are you okay?”

“What did they ask?”

“How did they ask?”

“Were you mean back to those assholes?”

“Were they assholes?”

She started laughing. Her eyes brightened and her dimples came about. Her head tilted back and she laughed even harder.

“What is so funny?” I asked. I tried to stay serious but a few chuckles came out.

“You just asked so many questions. I don't know, i'm just tired.”

“I bet. Why don't you wake up your family and we can all go back to your place so that you can get some sleep.” She smiled and nodded walking over to her mom and brothers.

Harper-

This room was so small. I played along the rim of my cup of coffee as I waited for someone to come in. I didn't check but I knew that the doors would be locked.

Eventually, someone walked into this room, I was glad the door opened a little, it was really warm and I was thankful for the cool air.

“So Ms. Lanson, how are you today. I heard your head took a nasty hit.” He didn't even look at me when he muttered his line. He was an older man, had no hair, a good amount of gray facial hair, and was fairly lean.

“I'm fine, thanks” I answered politely, I figured that if i'm nice this might make things easier.

“Great” He finally looked up at me, and nodded before looking back at the folder in front of him.

I nodded but didn't say anything after. I pulled my sleeves down and started messing with them, waiting for his questions to start.

“Let's talk about Emily Hunning.” He finally looked at me, but he had a doubtful look in his eye. He already wasn't going to believe me.

“What do you want to know?”

“When did she tell you that she is selling drugs?”

“Excuse me?” My heart rate doubled and I felt like my stomach was in my throat.

“Answer the question Ms. Lanson.”

“I never knew.” I spoke loudly.

“You're telling me that your best friend didn't tell you?”

“No!”

“No, she did tell you or no that she did not?”

“No she did not tell me!”

“Ma'am, stop yelling”

“You're telling me I knew something that I didn't!”

“Yes you did.”

“No!”

“No?”

“Yes.”

“So you're saying you did know.”

“Stop twisting my words!”

“Ma'am, did you or did you not know?”

“I. Did. Not. Know.” Where is that bat when you need it?

“Well, i'll figure that answer out since obviously you are indecisive.”

“Whatever. Can I go?” I asked

“Have a nice night.” I rolled my eyed and got up to leave.

“Oh and Ms. Lanson,” he turned in his chair to look at me as I walked out, “be careful who your friends are, and who you hang out with, we're watching as of now.” He threatened.

“Okay.” I nodded and left. I'm innocent, I don't need to worry about his threats.

(*)*(*)*(*)*(*)

We all walked through the door of my apartment. I didn't care if it was clean enough for my family, or whether everything was placed correctly or not, I just wanted to go to sleep. My head was throbbing.

Tomorrow I would figure out what to do.

I went into Emily's old room and set up as much as I could. I put sheets on the bed, for my mom. I also brought out sheets for the couch which one of my brothers would sleep on.

“Robert or Jay, there are a bunch of blankets in the linen closet, so one of you can be comfy on the floor. “ Robert nodded and bolted to the couch and sprawled out onto it.

“You're an idiot and I will move you.” Jay said as he walked toward me and pulled me into a hug.

“Night, kiddo.” He smiled. I said goodnight to Rob too and exited towards where my mom was staying.

“Night Mommyo” I smiled at her in the doorway.

“She instantly started tearing up and pulled me into a hug. No matter what time during the day, or what is going on, when I call her that she cries.

“I love you so much little bug.” She kissed my forehead and I headed to my room.

I pushed open my door open and stepped through the door. Alex was laying on my bed with his hands on his stomach and legs hanging off my bed.

I laughed and hurried to get my pajamas on. I took one of the pain medication and sat next to Alex. I pushed his side a little and leaned into kiss his cheek.

He stirred and only woke up enough to climb into bed. I laughed quietly and climbed in with him.

“Goodnight you.” He said as he rolled over and put his arm around my stomach and the other arm under my head.

“Goodnight you.” I spoke and then I was out.
