CHAPTER 14

CHARLOTTES POV

"Now id like you to tell me everything that happened between now and whenever that party started" the officer said sitting down. We were at the police station being interviewed.

"Well I - uh- I invited - um friends over - and -" Brooke is good at lying - not to cops who were face to face with us. Her face was red and she couldn't look at the cop straight in the eye.

"Our parents went put for the weekend and Brooke thought she could invite so me friends over and the word got around" I said cutting Brooke off. She nodded her head in agreement.

"Thank you and who are you and these two young men?" The officer asked.

"This is my boyfriend and that's my sisters boyfriend" I said pointing to nash and Hayes.

"So now down to the main reason why you're here" he said and slammed both his hands down on the desk. It startled me, and Hayes squeezed my hand.

He looked at us like he was waiting for an answer. We stared with blank expressions on our face.

"Do you know that using or drinking alcohol under age is illegal?" He asked. Brooke had alcohol?

"Brooke!" I said almost screaming at her. She looked surprised.

"Charlotte! I didn't use alcohol. Mom even took it out of the house because she was afraid something like this would happen" Brooke said looking at me.

"Is this true?" The officer asked.

"Yes. We had no alcohol in the house and people must've brought it in" I said standing up.

"Ok well how about this. Since it wasn't yours, we won't do anything. But if we find out it is yours, and you get caught again, the consequences are a lot more serious. Are we understood?" He asked. We all nodded in agreement. We all got up and left the station.

I was still trembling. I was nervous. Super nervous. What if it was ours? What if they catch us? I could feel myself shaking out of my skin. I thought of the consequences. I've never really done anything bad like this. Except once.

Brooke has. Once She snuck out of the house when she was grounded and went to a concert and an after party with alcohol and stuff. She didn't even get caught. I saw her come home and she made me keep quiet so she wouldn't get in trouble.

That wasn't even the worst thing. I was involved in the worst thing.

"Charlotte your shaking like crazy" Hayes said with a laugh following that sentence.

"I-I know" I stuttered and looked at him. He smiled and kissed my cheek. His arm made its way around me and I felt a hundred times safer.

THE NEXT DAY

Hayes and nash slept over. Brooke deleted the tweet so that there wasn't any evidence. Hayes was sleeping next to me. I took a picture of him. He looked really funny because his hair was all over the place and his mouth was hanging open.

He woke up and kissed my forehead. It was Saturday and Hayes had football practice later tonight. So I was going to be bored out of my mind here.

We spent the whole day together. He helped me penny board, we played lacrosse and watched a ton of movies. There is just something about him that feels so different from any other guy that I've liked. The way he looks at me when our eyes meet. His smile. His overprotective-ness. His eyes. His personality. Him in general.

I sat in bed. Bored. Brooke and nash were making out and watching boring movies. I stared up at the ceiling. I thought about that night. That one night. That one night that I could never ever forget. I thought of Brooke. I've kind of always looked up to her, but not really. I loved the way she was reckless and I also loved her talks she gave me when I was going through a hard time.

Brooke was tough. She always went to parties. Not just high school parties, college parties too. She had a great time in New York because she could do almost anything. She would go out to parties that ended at 4 AM on school nights, and go to parties on weekends all night. She would come home at curfew and then leave again. I'm the only one who knows. I never said anything to anyone.

I decided to check twitter because I'm boring my self to death about the past. I scrolled to see Audrey's tweet. I knew it. I knew it I knew it. I knew this would happen. I knew he would do this.

My arm swung over and slammed my arm on the table and grabbed my phone. I texted Hayes.

Charlotte: I gave you another chance and you blew it. so this time I'm done with you. for good.
