-Jacob's POV-

"Sir, are you Jacob Whitesides?"  

I raise my head from my cupped palms and look up to find two police officers looking down at me. I swallow hard and try to keep myself from shaking and they just give me expecting looks. They didn't look too harsh, but that didn't make me anyless afraid of them.

"Uhm. Yes." I stammer. I look back down at the shiny white tile and breathe in deeply trying to calm myself. What if they don't believe me? What if they think I actually did this to poor Matt? How would I even have been able to do that, if it's difficult for me to carry him?

"You'll have to come with us for questioning." The tallest of the two says.

I stand up and they turn to walk away, I follow after them quietly. The nurse glares at me again and I just look at the ground as they lead me down many long hallways and we eventually have to go on an elevator to get to a lower level of the gigantic hospital. We stop in the empty cafe of the hospital and they sit at a small circular table. The table already had papers all over it, two coffees on one side and one soda sitting in front of the chair I'm about to sit in. I sit and clutch the bottom of my chair nervously. 

"Jacob...Don't be nervous, it's just routine questioning." This officer had blonde hair and gentle looking blue eyes. Honestly, he didn't look any older then twenty two and he was quite attractive if I say so myself. 

"Alright." I say in a casual voice. I let go of my death grip on my chair and attempt to look as relaxed as I can, even though I know it's evident that I'm rigid and scared to even breathe. I swear to god I'm about to shoot myself in the head, this is so nerve racking. I just wanna forget about this and go home and cuddle with my cat. 

"Would you like to take us through what happened with...." The officer looks down quickly then back up at me. "Matthew Espinosa." 

"Okay. Uhm. I was at home watching tv with my sister and I was on twitter when someone knocked on the door. My mother answered it and I went to see who it was and Matt was standing there bruised and bloody and looking like he was going to pass out. So, I put him in my car and he blacked out before I even shut the car door. I swear to god, I didn't do anything to harm him. I don't even know what happened to him he didn't tell me." I say in a slight rush. My nerves are getting the best of me and my hands start to shake.

"From what I understand about you and Mr.Espinosa is that you are quite popular on the internet, am I correct?" 

"Yes." I nod.

"So, is there the slightest chance that you are lying to us? That maybe you got angry at Mr.Espinosa for something?" 

"No, I swear! I have no reason to be angry with him! He's my best friend, I wouldn't do anything like this." I look down at my hands and frown. "If I ever did anything to purposely hurt someone that is special to me, I would probably kill myself. I wouldn't be able to live with the guilt"

"Do you know anyone that would want to do this to him?" 

"Not really...I mean he was in his football uniform so it might have been someone on the team after their game. If not he went straight home and it could've been anyone. I'm at a loss, everybody loves Matt." I shrug. 

"Does he have a girlfriend?" He questions. Oh god.

"No..." I trail off. "He just broke up with his boyfriend..."

"What was his name?"

"Hunter Brooks" I look down. 

"Did he ever abuse Mr.Espinosa, that you know of?"
