The Ride Of My Life: Chicago

Chapter 12

"I don't know what your talking, Skye." I said, after the shock went away. And now I'm trying to act like I don't know what she trying to get at.

"Estelle, I know you were there. I found this at the site." she says, taking out a small silver jewelry ring that has tear shape pink diamond in the center. I try to think quick and make she believe me that I have nothing to do with them. So, I says the things that come to mind.

"Where did you find it. I thought I lost in my room or at one of my friends house. Thanks for finding it, Skye, I thought I lost forever." I try to reach for it, but she pulled back little.

"I found it at the mall parking lot."

"It must of fallen off when Mack and I were at the mall after school." I stay calm and hope she believe me.

"You weren't at school when we got the call on Tuesday and I know this because I ask Lexi if she seen you and she didn't. Estelle, I thought were going to be honest about this. Just tell me."

"I-I," I try to come with another excuse, but I can't, so I just gave in. Taking a deep breathe, before speaking. "Dose my Dad know, what you know?"

She shook her head, "No, but I'll will keep it between us." she put her hand on my shoulder to sure me she will keep it between the two of us. "But I want you to promise me something, Estelle?"

"What that?"

"I need you to call me if something going to happen that they planning something seems too dangerous and could hurt people. We need to take these punks down. And we don't have enough evidence or time to keep tabs on them, we got other things to work on then chasing some lowlife criminals. So what you says, you'll call if something come up."

"Wait, are you.. using me? You are using aren't you?" I said. I can't believe it, is that why she didn't go to my dad and rated me out. "Is that why you didn't go to my dad in the first place. Because he would never let you do this and you think I can help you get them."

"Huh.. you're are smart like your dad says you are. But like I says a second go we got better thing to do than looking for some lowlife car thieves criminals. And right now we don't have much evidence on them and once we do catch them in the act for something dangerous, we putin' them away for long time. So what do you say? Will you call?"

"I don't know." I says. I don't want them to go to jail and I like spending time with because when I'm there I feel like I can be a different person the one where I can have a little freedom and not be the goody-goody that everyone think I am, but I'm tried of it because everyone is always picking on me for many reasons and I just wanna be little careless with freedom even if I feel guilty for doing behind my dad back.

"I know why you don't want to. Believe it or not I wanna be like you, have little freedom and not a care in the world and the excitement of the car and the people you'll meet along the way." She look over to the door making sure no one coming into the kitchen, before continued. "Look, you don't call if you wanna quite and go back to your old life, but something tells me you that you don't want to. I think we keep this conversation just between the two of us."

I was going to say something but then Dad came into the kitchen. When he came in to check on us to see how everything going, then went back to the dining room and I followed behind since Skye say she finished cleaning dishes.

After leaving Sky's house and went home, I been quiet on ride home and Dad try talking to me, but I didn't pay any attention to him, I just stare out the window thinking about what Skye says half an hour ago. And when we got home I went straight to my room and lay on my bed staring at the ceiling and ignoring the texts that I'm getting right now. It's probably Tyler to see how things were at Skye, or Kendra wanted to talk. I look at my phone to see who it was and its Tyler, I was hoping it might be Kendra who wanted talk about what she upset about.
