Darkness

Chapter Eleven

-a week later-

I still haven't gotten a call from Justin yet and I'm getting worried. Maybe he just doesn't want to talk to me. I need to go over there to his apartment. I climb out of bed and I go take a quick shower. I get dressed in an easy pair of shorts and a tank top. I hurry down stairs and I leave without telling anyone. I get in my car and I head towards his apartment. Once I get there, I run inside the old doors. I look around, and there isn't really a front desk or any place to find someone's room. I walk up the worn-down stairs and I start looking around for Justin. All of the sudden, I feel someone grab my wrist. I turn around and I see Za giving me a confused look. "What did Justin tell you about coming here?"

"I-I'm sorry" I stutter. "I was just worried. He hasn't called me yet."

"Wait, he didn't call and tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"Justin went to jail..." Za says softly.

"W-wait what?" I froze.

"Yeah it happened just this morning. I'm really sorry." He says as I quickly turn around and head to my car. I get in my car and search for my phone. I quickly call my brother.

"Derek what the fuck" I yell at him.

"What?" He says sounding confused.

"I can't believe you turned Justin in. I fucking hate you" I scream and quickly hang up. I pull out of the parking lot and head for the local police department hoping that Justin would be at that one. My phone keeps going off because of my brother calling me. I throw it as hard as I can onto the back seat. I reach the police department and pull in. I hurry to the front counter and I ask if Justin's there, and if I could visit him. The lady nods and starts typing a few things. Then she asks for my name. Then she leads me to this long room where a few people are in there for visiting. I sit down and on the other side is Justin. He looks horrible. His hair is messed up and it looks like he's exhausted. He looks at me in shock with his big brown eyes.

"What are you doing here?" He says with a puzzled look on his face.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't know that my brother was going to turn you in."

"Turn me in? Miley, I turned myself in." he chuckles.

"Wait what? Why would you do that."

"I wanted to. What I did was wrong."

"But why didn't you call me or anything? I found out from Za" I ask.

"Didn't you get a call from your detective?"

"Oh well. I might have I haven't rea-"

"Wait" He cuts me off. "Where did you see Za. Don't tell me that you went over to the apartments again."

"I did, but nothing happened. I was just worried about you."

"Look" he sighs. "You don't need to worry about me. I will be in here for probably about 10 years. It depends on what the judge says when I go to court."

"Why that long? I can drop the charges." I start to tear up.

"No that won't change much. I had a few other warrants out for my arrest. My lawyer thinks 10 years will be reasonable." He explains.

I bury my face into my hands. He looks at me and apologizes. We talk for a couple more minutes until the lady at the desk tells me that our time is up. "i love you so much, and if you are still single when I get out, come get me." he winks. "I will baby. I love you too" I reply as I wipe my tears and smile at him. I look up at him and wave goodbye. You can see tears in his eyes. I walk out to my car and I just sit there for a while. I call my brother back and I apologize.

"It's okay" He says. "If you would have let me finish earlier, I would have told you that we got a call saying that he turned himself in. We were all looking for you."

"He has 10 years" I say trying not to cry.

"Wait how do you know."

"I was just visiting him."

"Oh.. Well, I'm sorry." He sighs. "Just come home okay?"

"Okay. I'll be there in a few minutes."
