In Love With The Madman

chapter 11

I stood there staring into the eyes of two cops. They led me to the car. My feet started to drag and all the noise around me disappeared. Was this how it feels to get arrested? I shook my head. No, I'm not even getting arrested. One of the police officers stood there holding the car door open for me. The other was already starting the car.

As we whizzed by the signs and people I saw kid pointing and staring probably saying stuff like. "Mom look it's a police car." While the mother hoped that the child would not end up in there. The car pulled up to the station or at least what I thought was the station I'd never been here before. My heart started to race but it wasn't a good feeling like I used to get with Xavier it was a horribly despicable feeling. They led me into a room with a table and a few chairs, there were no sign of windows on any of the walls so I felt a little claustrophobic.

"First off, what is your relationship with Xavier and how are you sure he's a murderer?" The lady sat there tapping her papers on the desk. What was I going to do? I didn't want this to happen! As I sat there not answering the question I felt more and more afraid. What would happen if I never answered would I be arrested?

"I do not feel comfortable answering your question." I tried to sound as calm and composed as I possibly could. The lady finally set down the paper stack.

"If you leave questions unanswered it will make you look more suspicious." I knew that but I couldn't sell out Xavier. "Could you at least tell me your relationship with this Xavier guy?" My heart started to race uncontrollably.

"I don't know anyone by that name!" I stood up slamming the table and hitting my chair back. I opened the door and left. Why did I overreact so much? Every cop that I passed looked at me and I could tell they were wondering if I was allowed to leave or not. But none of them dared to grab me thinking that they would break the law if they touched me. "Goodbye police station." I called, then I realised that I had never been to this part of town and I didn't know my way back.

I ended up just walking down the buzzing streets hoping for a miracle. I wanted to ask someone which way my house was, but I kept thinking. What if they take me back there. There all my enemies. Finally I saw someone I recognized. I didn't remember there name but I sensed that they were a good person. "Um, excuse me." The man turned towards me. He was like a giant that towered over me.

"Yes, what is it?" He didn't seem to know me. Was I wrong? Well I'm already here so I better keep going.

"I was wondering if you could tell me how to get to this address?" I told him my address. He put his hand under his chin and combed through his hair with his other hand.

"Keep going straight for like ten blocks then you will be there." Without saying anything I started to run that way. I was still to terrified of everyone around. I kept my head down and only looked up when I needed to cross the road. I was only two blocks away, then I realised my parents would just send me back.

"What am I going to do?" I said while running my hands throughout my hair. While I was freaking out my stomach started to grumble. I looked in my pockets seeing I had some change so I decided to go to the store. I bought one small chocolate bar and left. When I left I saw some guys putting a sign on the window. "Excuse me, but what are you guys doing?" They both stared at me.

"We're putting a sign up that has more info on the murderer guy." One of the guys said.

"Did you know his name was Xavier?" My heart stopped. What have I done!?
