Forever in Grayscale: Chapter Nine

After Kade left I started to feel emptiness inside me, I’ve never felt it before.

I shook it off and went up the stairs; I got ready for the day. Once I was done showering I heard a knock on the door, before I could say anything, it was suddenly busted open. In came the police, guns ready for whatever may be beyond them. I only had a towel on! Couldn’t they wait like five minutes?

“Grayson Evans?” the head police asked. He was somewhat attractive, he had blonde hair green eyes, and his eyes looked familiar. As I was searching them the police officer repeated the question even louder.

“Grayson Evans?” he all but shouted. I winced and looked at his name tag, It read ‘Officer Malic’ well it seemed Officer Malic had a temper.

“Yes Officer Malic?” I said.

“You are under arrest and will be taken into custody for the murder of Serena-Good forth.

After questioning you of course.” It seemed like he was trying to put humor into his words like this was all a joke, like he did this every day. Barged into MY house into MY room SHOUTED at me and wouldn’t let me answer a single question besides what was my name. He continued on,

“ Considering you are under the age of eighteen you will be held in a juvenile delinquent holding cell until a parent or guardian of the right accord can transfer you to a home of-“ he glanced around. “An equally stable household.” As he said those words I went blank. I figured he was arresting me for something I’d done, but the problem was, I didn’t do ANYTHING. If I told them that then I would look like the guilty one.

I started to think of everything bad I had ever done since I came to this house about two years ago, the worst thing I might have done was told these teenagers that grabbed my ass to “Fuck off” but that’s it!

“Please put on proper clothes and meet us downstairs in five minutes.” The officer demanded me. Once he called him and his troops to go on. He sat on the bed and patted the space beside him, I rolled my eyes and went into my huge closet to find something to wear. When I decided on a skirt and a t-shirt, I changed but closed the door first so Mr. Dickface or whatever his name was didn’t see me naked, there was NO way I could get myself out of that situation.

I finished changing and put some flip flops on; I walked out of the closet not wanting to take a second glance at officer douche.

Arresting me for something that I hadn’t even done, and he calls himself an OFFICER.

I was shouting in my head for a couple of seconds, before my hand was on the door I felt a strong hand grip my other arm. My head whipped around to see my FAVORITE police officer holding my arm. I tried to snatch it back, I could have easily done so, but it would have blown our secret. I had to pretend I was a weak little girl. He pulled me back to my bed, and sat me down. My hair was dripping down my back making me cold. I felt weird; I don’t know how to describe it other than unsafe.

He placed a hand on my knee, already getting ahead of himself he started talking.

“Now listen, Grayson I know what you’re about to say” with every word his hand kept sliding up my bare thigh. He made me nervous than ever. His sense of power was overwhelming; if I made one wrong move he could easily kill me. Or at least try to, but I was trying my hardest to keep our secret.

“That I didn’t do it” he imitated me with a horrible squeal of a voice sounding nothing like mine.

I laughed at his terrible impression. He continued, he stole a quick look at me and smirked. He inched his hand forward. His hand was almost to the edge of my skirt.
