Graduation was approaching fast and I was beginning to get nervous. I had no idea where my life was going and had no idea where I wanted it to go. All I knew is I wanted Emma to be in it.

The week had been crazy after the fight at the party and everyone still called Grayson everything they could think of, even after he and James publicly said that it was a misunderstanding and they were fine. Grayson acted as if it didn't bother him but I knew it did because I was bothered not only by that but people saying Grayson and I deserved jail time for attacking Jake. I found it stupid considering Jake was the one that started it in the first place.

So I as arrived at school today I couldn't help but feel eyes on me as always. I could hear certain people whispering.

"He's gonna break her," I heard from one person.

"Such a bad dude, I hope she leaves them alone," I heard another say.

I ignored it and kept minding my business, finding Emma at her locker putting books in it. She noticed me quickly and smiled as she zipped her bag up and closed the locker door.

"Hey babe," she said casually. I smiled and grabbed her hand after she swung her bag over her shoulder.

"Hi," I said back using my free hand to trail through my hair as we walked towards math, our last period of the day together.

We walked in and took our seats next to each other and of course people were staring. I just wish that I could have one normal day at school. It seems like since I've moved her everything that could possibly happen, has happened. I let my head hang down. I let out a huff of breath.

"You okay?" Emma's soft voice spoke into my ear.

"Yeah," I looked at her with a smile.

She grabbed my hand anyways and squeezed it.

"I love you," she said.

"I love you too," I said back. Suddenly the classroom door swung open and the principal, along with two police officers stepped and began talking to the teacher. Everyone immediately looked around and began to talk to each other. I looked at Emma and she shrugged.

The principal made his way to the back table, where Emma and I sat.

"Ethan, I'm gonna need you and Emma to walk with us please," He spoke quietly. All eyes were on us as we nodded and grabbed our things.

We made our way down the hall and into the office, I wasn't worried until I turned the corner and saw Grayson sitting there, already in handcuffs, as well as Jake and his parents sitting next to him. What had he done? Emma was told to sit next to Grayson and then the officer grabbed my shoulder and turned me around.

"Ethan Dolan, you're under arrest for the assault of Jake Paul, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have a right to an attorney and if you cannot afford an attorney then one shall be provided," Emma started shaking and the sound of the handcuffs clicking around my wrist could be heard. Jakes mom turned to look at me.

"Oh and we're pressing charges. I hope you two are happy with what you done to my son," she spat.

I wanted to snap back and tell her what he had done to Emma and that really he's the one that started it. But I guess it didn't matter because technically we did assault him, I mean he still had bruises and was in a neck brace. Shouldn't have messed with me and my girl. Eventually the principal allowed Jake to go to class and his parents left. The officers escorted Grayson and I to the police car and helped us get in the back seat.

We arrived at the station and they did some slight questioning before taking our fingerprints and locking us in a holding cell. Finally the cuffs were off. Gray sat on a bench in the cell against the wall, with his head cocked back and eyes closed. I just paced around and couldn't stop thinking about what was gonna happen. We didn't deserve to go to jail.

Suddenly a familiar voice came clearly to our ears as Grayson sat up.

"When they called me, I shook my head and asked if there was some sort of mistake. I just couldn't believe that you two would do this, especially after you know how your father felt about this," our Mom's voice said full of disappointment.

"It's not what it looks like," I said and Grayson walked up beside me so he too, could hold onto the bars while looking out.

"Then What is it? Please tell me, I'd love to know why you two assaulted someone," I lowered my head. She sounded as if she was gonna disown us or something.

So I explained the best I could to her everything. Even what he had done to Emma up to what happened, Grayson telling her everything was true and how he came into it and accidentally ended up hitting James, our mom sucked on her lips.

"If all of that is true, then how come he's not in here with you? I mean he tried to rape Emma," she said loudly. I shrugged.

"He lied, and his parents believe him because he's their special boy. Whatever, he's just a bastard," my mom smacked my hand.

"Well stay here, I brought our lawyer and he'll get this fixed, in the mean time sir here and be good," mom replied. I nodded and Grayson put a thumbs up.

We sat for what seemed like hours and did nothing but stare at the wall since our personal belongings had been confiscated. The sound of keys caused our heads to look towards the cell door. It slid open and we stood.

"Follow me," said the officer. We followed him and he took us into a room where our mom was with a lawyer and detective, they handed us our belongings back and asked us to sit down.

"So," the detective started. "If you help me, I'll help you," he said.

"Help with what?" Grayson asked.

"Well, I just happened to realize that you two were involved with the Derrick case at some point," I got nervous quickly. We both nodded.

"We have an idea of who he's in contact with and we need someone, like yourselves to help us get to him. He'd be charged with kidnapping, assault, and intent to kill. Also, for selling, buying, and using illegal drugs. That's not all, we also want to know if Jake is lying or not, get a confession from him about what he done to Emma and the night of the party and we can get him too."

Our mom looked at us. I looked at Grayson and then we both nodded. This is what we needed to do, take Jake and Derrick down. Once and for all.

Sounded like a perfect plan, but with any plan, something goes wrong. But this time, it couldn't be fixed.
