Amnesia | Luke Hemmings

Different opinions

We arrived at the police station. I walk in after Michael who is ready to end this. Ashton and Calum sat in the car. Luke held my hand tight. Michael walks up to the reception "I would like to file a complaint" He says putting the letters and computer on the desk. The Sargent drops his pen and looks up "Alright" He says taking a look at the letters, Michael shows him everything on the computer. The Officer looks at me "And are you his daughter?" He asks looking at me. I nod, "Has he always had a violent temper?" He asks looking at me. I felt like I was being interviewed. I move up to the reception desk "Yes, he beat my mother all the time. Thats when they got a divorce. He got really angry when she left so Im assuming thats what lead him to the letters" The officer nods his head. "Alright I will look at his files" He left the room for a few minutes. He came back carrying a few pieces of paper. He waves the papers in the air "He has got violent records" He said placing the sheets on the desk. I read them they were horrible. "Are you going to lock him up?" I ask the officer as he sits back down. He looks at me "At this stage no but we can get you a restraining order on him" Luke shakes his head "How can you let him get away with this?" I look at the police officer hard in the eyes "He is the reason my mother is dead and all you are going to do is put a restraining order on him?" "Im sorry but there isn't enough evidence" He said filling out a piece if paper and taping something into his computer, "Look at all these letters though" I said pushing the letters forward. The Facebook page. It clicked. I open up the Facebook page and show it to the officer. "Look these are all the messages he sent" I said pointing to the screen. He looks at them disgust on his face. "Alright that gives me enough evidence" He said throwing the piece if paper he was filling out into the rubbish. I smile he is not getting away with this one. But am I doing the right thing. He is my own father. If they lock him away I will have no one. My mother is now dead and my father will soon be locked away in prison for how long? I take Luke's hand and squeeze it. He squeezes back. "Is he home right now?" The officer asks. I shake my head "He said he is going to the pub and wont be home till after 12" The police officer types something into the computer "Alright we will come around in the morning and arrest him. What is your address?" I give the man our address and he smiles. "We will be there at 8 tomorrow morning" "Thank you" I smile ,he smiles back "Its my job" He says handing me back the letters and computer. I walk out if the station feeling guilty. Have I done the right thing? I feel like I have done the wrong thing. Luke looks at me his arm around my shoulder "You okay?" He asks taking my hand. I nod my head lying. I think I have just ruined my life. But I cant undo the mistake I made. I must start my life again. A fresh start is what I need right now.
