Truth Or Dare

Chapter 13 Must Be A Joke

Seconds felt like hours and minutes felt like years.

This couldn't seriously be happening; to me anyway. This had to be some sick joke.

But I knew it wasn't. This was as real as can be and honestly it scared me shitless.

A few more minutes ticked by before a Policeman came to my cell. He is accompanied by another man and they were deep in conversation.

"Ethan Cartwick you say? This can't be him, he's to-to good. His behaviour is perfect and his manners are pleasant. We've got the wrong guy!"

"This is definitely him! We had three reports of the same incident and the features are the same as described. We've got him,"

My confusion of the situation left me beyond baffled as I was taken to an interrogation room.

I sat uncomfortably on the metal chair and took to answering their million questions.

"Is your full name Ethan William John Cartwick?" I nodded in confirmation.

"This morning around the time of five o'clock we were informed that you have physically assaulted a young man, with the name of Joshua Devine," Oh no.

"We were in fact informed by two different witnesses and the victim of course."

"Two witnesses?" I questioned, I was pretty sure their was only one. Jake but then Katie came in. Maybe.

"Yes two. Jacob Culley and... Hold on a second," He rummaged through his many sheets of paper.

"Oh, yes, here! Jack Tenner!" My heart hammered loudly filling my ears with the deafening thud of my pulse. No.

I had no idea how I could honestly still not think he wouldn't do a thing like this. He would, he's friends with them now. The other side.

"Are you alright? You've gone awfully pale!" I shake my head slowly.

"Please may I have some water? I feel slightly dizzy," The officer called for some water and I was handed a Styrofoam cup moments later.

The cool, crisp water soothed my tickling throat as I sipped slowly. My dizziness left as quick as it had arrived and I tentively put the cup onto the daunting desk - careful not to spill any of the transparent liquid onto the officers paperwork.

A hour passed.

I was put in a cell until I was told I had to be bailed out. My mother had the pleasure of that.

When she picked me up she had the expression of disappointment. I hated the way she was looking at me, just felt ever so guilty already, this just added to the pile.

Before my mum could get the chance to talk to me as we got out of the car, I walked away from the house and down the street to an oh so familiar house.

...

My phone continuously vibrated as I made my journey to the house. I took it out of my pocket and switched it off. I needed to focus because if I screwed this up I would have to pleasure of a cell again. Oh what joy.

I walked up the steps and rang the door bell. I exhaled a massive breath to calm my nerves but it didn't help.

The door opened.

"Ethan?"

"Hello Jack."

Sorry that 1) this is short and 2) it took so long to upload.

I was meant to upload it Saturday but went to the One Direction Concert at Wembley which was AMAZING! Continue to read-comment-vote.

Thank you :)
