Kiss me Kiss me // l.h

Chapter 17

"I thought you were taking me home." I say after about 10 minutes.

"Oh, I will. But for now, the night in jail unless your parents or guardians come to get you."

"The writing on the car was not done by me, so I don't get why I'm staying the night on a hard ass bed my third day in New York." I reply, quite rudely.

The officer just ignores my comment and continues driving. When we pull into the jail parking lot, he gets out, taking his time, and opens my door to let me out.

He pulls the handcuffs off of his belt and puts them on me. Why do they make them so tight. Two seconds and I'm already losing feeling.

**********

He walks me to the telephones, saying I have 3 minutes. I dial the number to my mums cell phone and hear the familiar rings.

--

"Hello?" I hear after 7 rings. "Who is this?"

"Hi, Mum. Its, erm, Luke. So, I need you to come get me from the city jail and bring your wallet."

"LUCAS ROBERT HEMMINGS. YOUR THIRD DAY HERE, AND YOUR ALREADY FUCKING ARRESTED."

"Mum.. Calm down. My car was vandalized by the popular group at my school. Dents everywhere, and things written everywhere. The police officer saw them while I was driving home, and said he was going to bring me home and get my car towed. He ten turned and brought me here."

"I understand. I'll be there in half an hour Luke. Love you."

"Love you, too, Mum. Thank you for underst..." And the line was cut.

--

"Times up. What did she say?"

"She's on her way. Can't wait to get out of this hellhole already. It's fucking terrible."

"Better think about your actions later on then. But, for now, I'm bringing you to a holding cell."

The damn officer brings me to this tiny ass holding cell, and locks me up. After having me out my hands through the bars to take off my handcuffs, I rub my wrists. The imprints are deep. It hurts.

--

Before I know it, the cell lock is getting unlocked, and in comes a different officer. "Are you Luke?" I nod. "Liz Hemmings is here to pick you up."

"Oh, finally. Thanks." I shove past the lady and walk out to my mom. The officer walks up behind me and put her hand on my shoulder. I spin around asking her what she wanted now.

"Stay out of trouble kid. I heard you were new here."

"Oh I'll try. But, maybe I want to come back, see what you guys can get me in trouble for next."

"Lucas, lets go," my mum says.

After she pays the $550 we head out to the car. She presses the unlock button on her key ring and we both get in, but she doesn't start it right away.

"What are you waiting for?" I ask.

"Please, Luke, just stay out of trouble." She asks me, sincerely.

"Possibly." I reply.
