The police arrived and the teens got out of the car and went over to them.

"Where's the girl that was involved?" A female police officer asked. Raven raised her hand to her shoulder, "Come with me, sweetie."

The policewoman extended her arm and raven took it. Raven looked back at Daniel and he nodded.

"Where's the man?" Another officer came up.

"Inside. In the back." Alex said.

The police, along with two others, rushed inside. Marissa looked at Daniel, who was watching Raven her in the car.

"She'll be ok, Daniel." Marissa assured him. Daniel nodded.

"You were all witnesses?" Another policeman came up to them. They nodded, "Why don't you follow me to the car, we will take you where you can talk about what you saw."

"Did he touch you inappropriately at all?" The soft spoken woman asked Raven. Raven fiddled with her bracelet and shook her head, "Do you think he had intended to, if your friends hadn't shown up."

Raven stopped for a moment and slowly nodded, holding back tears.

"Well, he has physically harmed you so you are aloud to press charges."

"Will he go to jail?" Raven asked.

The woman took a deep breath, "There isn't enough to-"

"He tried to rape me! And would have hurt my best friend if I hadn't kept quiet! Is that not enough?" Raven cried.

"Well we can't-"

"Can't what? I don't want charges pressed. I want him in jail." Raven snapped, "He has done drugs before, he has abused Alex, there is so much he's done! Put him. In jail."

"We will have to see about that." The woman stood up and left the room. Raven was alone. She brought her legs to her chest and hugged them. Daniel rushed into the room.

"Dani.." Raven got up and hugged him.

"Look at you.." He looked at her up and down, "Even with cuts and bruises, you are gorgeous."  Raven looked down and smiled slightly, "You ok, love?"

Raven nodded, "I'm okay." She looked back up at him.

"We'll go get ice cream after this, okay?"

Raven giggled, "Ok boo." She kissed Daniel's cheek.
