"Stop repeating everything I say"

The car was driven through the driveway and packed at a corner .The house was always flawless no matter how many times I had come here,the two storey building white house, with a large backyard filled with all kinds of sport and a swimming pool was my teenage dream house and thanks God I got my dream .
There was a fountain at the middle,a sculpture of cupid,and from its mouth brought water.

I stepped out of the car and stretched,the drive had been exhausting and my back was in pain.

I hadn't walked very far when a woman ran up to me and hugged me with so much force I could have gotten knocked down.

"Julie you fool,where have you been,have been looking everywhere for you,we were so worried,so frantic,so......".

"I get it Camila you were worried, but am back and am fine". I said to her as she held my wrists and looked at it carefully.

"Isn't that handcuffs shaped bruises". She asked like a detective.

"Camila can I at least go in before you interrogate me". I said with a small frown.
She nodded at me and smiled at Leo.

"Don't be so hard on her Julie she was worried". Leo said with his annoyingly smooth voice.

"Let me do the worrying". I said and walked away,they were acting like parents,typical.

The background of the house might have been impressive but the interior was undeniable,it was eccentric, mostly decorated with black,cream and gold but that's what made it so intense.
It had a very long stair that just one round would feel like a marathon.

The others were waiting inside for me,by the others I meant,Lucio,Mike,Marvin,Beth,Ramon
Kristen,Gabriella,Ron,Millay,Cambria don't forget Leo and Camila.

"What is this,a reunion,and where's Paolo". I asked them but everyone just sat silently and stared at me.

"What". I asked again.

"What happened boss,we looked for you everywhere". Mike asked.

"I was at the station". I replied.

"What station". They asked in unison.

"Police station". I said and noticed the shock in their faces.

"Why the police station". Paolo who had somehow entered the house without a making a sound said.

"Paolo where have you been,I was all alone in that ceremony". I asked him angrily.

"Well.....I... Kind of had something I needed to do and the ceremony was kind of boring". He said as he scratched his neck.

"You call a bomb explosion boring". I asked him as he tried to register what I had just said.

"A what". He asked shocked.

"A bomb explosion and am sure it has something to do with me,I just I need to think and rest,all of you take the day off". I told them and walked up the stairs.

I had already freshened up when I heard a knock at the door.

"I thought I told you guys to take the day off". I said impatiently.

"Its Leo". He said.

"Come in Leo". He walked in with a worried face and sat on the couch.

"So what's up". I asked him.

"What really happened out there Julie". He asked.

"I already told you,there was bomb explosion and I got arrested". I summarised and opened my laptop.
