One Heart (One Kiss Book 2)

10. Police Station

Drew

Haley knows the truth now and there is no taking it back. It killed me to see her run away from me last night. What happened with that girl was not entirely my fault. She drugged me. I was not fully in control of myself. If I were in control, I would have left the party. It was also partly Jason's fault for not having my back. I wish I could kill him. Actually I could but I do not want to go to prison.

Speaking of prison, I am at the police station to discuss my report against Jessica Porter - the bitch who drugged me.

"What did you do when you regained consciousness?" the officer asks me. It is the same officer who called me last Saturday.

I am sitting facing her. "I woke up the next morning at my friend's dorm. He told me he put my pants back on and carried me to his dorm. As soon as I woke up I realized it was late and I had already missed a class so I rushed to my next one."

"You said you were drugged. Where you consuming alcohol?" She gives me a suspicious look.

I have to lie because I am still under the legal drinking age. "No. I only had a soda." I actually had three cups of beer.

She nods but does not seem to believe me. "Have you ever dated Jessica Porter?"

My answer comes out before I have time to think. "No." I never dated anyone before Haley. I hooked up with many girls but that's as far as my relationships went.

The officer jots down a few notes on her notepad then looks up at me again. "Have you ever had an argument with Jessica?"

What? "No. Why would you even ask that?"

"Maybe what she did, if what you reported is true, was because she wanted revenge."

"I never even met her before that party." I am being hundred percent honest now.

She seems to believe me now. She writes something more on her notepad and then dismisses me. "We will speak with Ms. Porter and I will contact you if something else comes up."

I nod, stand up and leave.

I should try calling Haley. I decide to call her after my first class. I spend the entire time wondering what is going to happen between us. Will she forgive me for something that was not entirely my fault? Will she understand my situation? Will she even let me explain? The only way I could have prevented this from happening was if I stay in my dorm and not going to the party. The only reason I did not stay in my dorm was because of Phil. I hate that guy. Unfortunately, I am stuck with him as a roommate. We are nothing alike. We have nothing in common. I was like him once but that changed since Haley came into my life and I have no intention of going back.

As soon as the bell rings, I rush out to find a quiet place to call Haley. She does not pick up. In fact, she hits the decline button. I try again and again and again until she switches off her phone.

---

I spend the whole week trying to call her with no luck. She is really shutting me out and I feel desperate. I keep telling myself that this is not the end for us. We could not be over. The only future I see is with her and no one else. She has my heart, forever.

Thursday, after my last class, I drive back home, to my girl.

When I arrive outside the house, I just stay in my car, waiting. I do not see Haley's car. Where is she? Maybe my mother borrowed her car?

I do not have to deliberate for too long. Haley's car approaches and parks close to mine. She is not the only one in the car. My mother comes out first and I go rigid. I still do not feel like speaking to her. I need more time. Maybe that is the same way Haley feels toward me. Haley comes out of the car next and she gives me a grimace before hurrying inside the house. Before I start the engine, ready to leave, another person comes out of the car.

Is that...? Can't be.

It is. It's Nolan.
