Are They Real? (Not complete)

Chapter 3

There was about three patrol cars there. We stood outside talking to the police officers and we showed them the text messages. They asked if I really believed if there was a man at my home and I nodded. Katy then asked if she could be done for the day and her manager agreed. She came up to me and asked "do you want me to come with you guys?" Me a Lilly nodded "yeah". One of the police officers came back up to me "you guys can follow us in your cars and we can search the house". I give weak smile and I shake his hand "thank you". He gives a warming smile "it will be alright ma'am, you'll just have to stay in the car when we search your place". I nod "I understand". The police get in their cars. Me, Kyle, and Katy all get in Kyle's car while Lilly gets into Jake's.

We reach mine and Lilly's apartment. The police officers go in while one stays outside with us. She kept reassuring us that everything was going to be alright.

15 Minuets Later

The officers come out with mark in cuffs. I gasp "that man wasn't lying". They shoved him in the back of a patrol car as he yelled and cussed calling me a bitch. When they finally got him in, a pair of police officers came over "do you you want to know?" I nod "yeah". I was scared to here what they were going to say. One of them sighed "the man was under your bed holding a knife and when we got him out we noticed that he had a gun in the back of his pants". I gasp "I feel sick". Kyle led me to the curve and we sat down. The officers followed "do you know who this man is?" I again nod "he is Mark Chall and if he's out that means he's on parol". One of the officers had a notepad out and was taking notes "could you tell me why and how you know this?" I clear my throat "um, he touched me and tried to kill me before.... He was then sent to prison because of me". He looks at me "I'm sorry". "It's fine" I mumble quietly.

The other police officer steps forward "Would you be willing to come to the station tomorrow to make a statement?" I again nod. He looks at me and Lilly "both of you should find a friends house to stay at". Lilly smiles "thank you officer, have a goodnight". We shake hands and then the police finally drive off. Kyle sat there holding me while we sat on the curve. Everyone else stood around us. We stayed quite for a few minutes. Kyle was the first one to speak "do you want to stay at my place tonight?" His voice clam and gentle. He slowly got up and help me up also. First he hugged then Lilly joined, then Katy, and finally Jake. All of them saying it was going to be alright. I felt the tears start to roll off my cheeks "thank you guys". All of them hugging me tighter. I finally just started to ball my eyes out. From the text messages, Mark in my home, and all of them protecting me. I couldn't stop the tears.

"Lindsey don't cry. Your safe now, he's not here anymore" Lilly said with a weak smile. She moved everyone out of the way and looked me in the eyes "cartoon". I couldn't help but give a small smile "yeah". Lilly turns around to face everyone, while still holding me close "any of you live in house with like a man cave or something?" Kyle raises his hand "I do". Lilly nods "okay, so were gonna go to your house watch some movies and eat ice cream. Alright". Kyle puts up his hand "wait I don't have ice cream at home". She taps her chin "hmmm okay, then let's go to the store first". Lilly brings me to Kyle's car and the thoughts of what Mark did to me rushed into my head. It scared me "I don't want to be in there alone". She gives me a sweet warming smile "I'll be there". Katy holds my hand "we both will". It calmed me,so me and Katy get in the backseat as Lilly sits in the driver seat. I look at her confused but the she again smiles at me "the boys will drive the other car. I shiver a bit "Okay".

As Lilly starts to drive I turn to right to face Katy "I'm sorry I dragged you into this... I don't even know you". I kept my voice quiet. She holds my hand " that's alright, and I hope do get to know you". I smile at her words. Lilly starts to hold her hand out to us "can you give me the aux, it's in the door". I grab it and give it to her. She plugs it into her phone and plays a song. 'I don't know why-y I feed on emotion. There's a stomach inside my brain. I don't wanna be heard I wanna be listened to, does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name'.
