Safe In A Stranger's Arms

Chapter Fifteen

Caitlin's POV

My stomach dropped at the sight in front of me. I swear, I think I wiped my eyes over a hundred times and I still couldn't believe what I was seeing.

"Is that a mugshot?" Blaire exclaimed, as she too was just as shocked as I was.

"I-I don't know, it's probably not even him." I bit on my bottom lip as Blaire continued to stare at the picture.

"Cait, it's him." She argued. "I'm gonna click on it."

"No! Stop, what are you doing?" I shrieked.

"Well what do you think? I want to see who your boyfriend really is, don't you?"

"N-no?" I lied. "Ugh yes, just click the goddamn picture." I placed my head in my palms and sighed loudly. My heart was racing at the speed of light and I couldn't help but feel more and more nervous as the page loaded. You could literally feel the tension in the atmosphere.

"It's an article from Las Vegas Sun News." My eyes were glued onto the screen as Blaire began to read the article out loud.

"20 year old, Justin Drew Bieber, was arrested last night by the Las Vegas Sheriff Police.

Son of Pattie Mallette, the successful owner of Mercury Hotel, was put in handcuffs on June 3rd, 2013 at around 1:40 AM in Las Vegas. Police say he was driving recklessly and after he got pulled over, he resisted arrest and was sent directly to the Las Vegas County Police Station."

"Blaire, I think I've heard enough." I whined, begging her to stop reading the article.

"No wait, there's more!" I swear, I think she was more in depth with the situation than I was. It was like she was trying to prove something to me.

"After being checked into the station, Bieber's behavior had suddenly changed and he seemed less tense than he was during the arrest with the cops.

Fortunately, the wealthy 20 year old bailed himself out and managed to leave the police station safely at around 4:50 am but was left with a record.

Bieber's posse was asked to go home after the arrest -- The friends that were with him include 26 year old brother, Dylan Bieber and 20 year old childhood friend, Ryan Butler."

"Holy shit." I murmured. Words weren't even enough to explain how astonished I was.

"Holy shit is right." Blaire nodded her head as she turned to look at me. Her eyes were wide, just like mine. "But is it bad that I saw it coming?"

"You saw it coming? I never expected this from him." I furrowed my eyebrows at her. "Well at least he didn't hurt anybody, right?" I nervously laughed, trying to ease the moment.

"Cait, this was written last year in the summer. That's months ago. Who knows what other shit he probably pulled during the time.  He's probably a fucking criminal, we need to look more into this."

"More into this?" I yelled. I sighed and began to rub my temples. "I-I can't do this right now." I quickly grabbed the laptop from Blaire's hands and shut it off, then placed it on the small coffee table in front of me. "It's getting late and I have a morning shift at the cafe tomorrow so I need to sleep early, if that's alright with you."

"Yeah, I gotta go too." I watched Blaire as she sighed and got up from the couch to put on her shoes. As she placed her hand on the doorknob, she paused and turned around to look at me. "What are you gonna do about... you know?" She asked, biting on her bottom lip.

"I have no idea." I breathed out as I stroked my hair and put my hand on the side of my hips in distress. "I'm just gonna get some sleep and think of something tomorrow."
