The Queen Bee

17. Lola

We partied. What do we supposed to do on Fridays? Yes. We partied.

After Logan and Christy came back, my brother decided to brought out our Dad's stash of liquors. We would probably get a month off of shopping money for it, which really suck, but tonight was amazing. Everyone was having a good time.

I announced on social media the impromptu party and viola, after an hour, our house was full of party animals.

"This is amazinnnnng!" Ezra shouted while dancing.

"I know right?!"Cara agreed, even Soli who hate parties and loud music, smiled and nodded.

My night started bad but it turned out just fine now, but still I wasn't in the mood to party. I was dancing, yes. Smiling, yes. Laughing, yes. But I was just pretending. I was not in the mood. I don't know why.

"You okay?" Logan reached me, hugging me slightly. It was his way of comforting me and it really did help.

Logan may be an asshole sometimes but he was my half and he was the only person who can actually calm my nerves. I don't know. Maybe because of our twin bond.

"Yeah. A little tired but nothing to worry about." I answered. I was about to hooked my arms at his waist but someone pulled him away from me.

"Babe, I need a drink."Said the culprit which my brother immediately obliged. My mood got even more sour now seeing how my brother was so oblivious to the fact that Christy cheated on him days ago.

I retreated back from them and went to see how Rock's doing. He was drowning himself to alcohol, probably jealous with Rush hitting on Cara from time to time. Though Cara didn't encourage Rush and she just rolled her eyes every time, Rock was still pissed about it.

I decided to go to my room first, thinking of getting a hoodie before going outside where I saw Rock awhile ago. It was a bit chilly tonight and my thin shirt won't cover enough to make me feel warm.

Without even checking, I wore the first hoodie I found on my bed and go outside, watching my steps to avoid stepping on someone.

I was about to step on the staircase when I heard the music suddenly turned off and people were running everywhere, there were clattering and glass shattering. I just hope it wasn't my mother's chinas, she adore them more than us, her children.

"Police.."came whisper yelling through the rush.

Police? Why on earth there would be a police here? Sure, we party but we were in a freaking state, our neighbors were at least few meters away from our house. And my parents were well-known at this town, even the police would never raid or whatever our parties!

"Looooo! Fuck! Don't go near my sister, you moron!" I heard my brother screamed, followed by a loud crashing of something and a few shouts from other people.

What's happening??

I run downstairs only to be dragged by Ezra. Her eyes were bright and glistening. She was about to dragged me back upstairs but the lady police officer made us stop.

"Stop right there Ms. Andrews."She walked towards me, carrying a handcuffs. She handcuffed me when she reached me, I didn't even react because I was too shocked.

My brother shouted again, calling the officers names which made the other officers handcuffed him too.

"What did I do?"I asked confusedly.

"We are arresting you for reckless imprudence resulting to damage to property against Mr. Sebastian King. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you. "She said more than that but it didn't registered on my brain. I only got one thing. Sebastian Fucking King got me arrested!

I didn't object when the lady officer lead me to the door of my house, handcuffed. The two officers were behind me, dragging Logan who were still shouting and fighting not to go. I saw my friends walking beside me, people were running everywhere and cellphone cameras were filming us.

"Hey Lo, we will follow you guys, okay? We will bail you out not even a minute after we got there, okay?"Ezra grabbed my forearms, assuring me. She was crying and wiping her wet face with her hands. Ezra never did anything like that before. She was always composed. 

I didn't say anything, I just nodded at her. I was so shocked I didn't know what to think or say. Never in my entire life I was arrested. I made terrible things from the past but never had been handcuffed.

A single tear fell down my face. I can't believed it. I feel angry and I won't let this past behind me. Gosh, and my parents!

My Dad would go ballistic and Mom would probably die of disappointments. They've gone to enjoy their Friday night then would come back in a trashy mansion full of mess, bottles of alcohol everywhere, puke and other gross things, with their children on the prison. Great.

Logan and I were seated with different police cars. The lady officer was kind enough to unlocked my handcuffs right after the mobile car's engine roared to life.

"Hey Miss, relax. You are trembling."She said to me, giving me a bottle of water. Are police officers always have bottle of waters ready for their prisoners? Gosh, why am I here?? Fucking Sebastian King!!!

"Thanks."I said shortly taking the bottle. Now that everything sink in with me, I'd like to scream and trash everyone but I know it won't help me. I need to stay calm and focus.

I remembered how many people witnessed the incident.and I want to burn Sebastian alive for causing such huge damage to my dignity.

"Can I use my own phone now?" I asked. I've seen too many movies where police officers didn't let their detainee use any mobile phones. I needed to be sure, didn't want to cause anymore trouble now.

"Usually we didn't allow it but yeah, sure. You can use your phone."She smiled and I was really thankful.

I dialed the asshole's number but he didn't answer so I tried calling Emerald King. She answered after the third ring.

"Emerald King."Came the aristocratic voice.

I told her how her grandson got me arrested but she answered me with a laugh, telling me how she already called my parents to talk about the damages and how to settle everything for both parties.

"What? Why did you call my parents? They'll gonna kill me!"i said in horror. I can't believe they can't wait until tomorrow to call them!

"Do you think you can get out of the establishment without your parents? Lola, you are only 17, a minor. Of course we need to call your parents." She explained to me which makes sense. I never did thought about me being minor, they can't arrest us like that! If there was anything, a social worker should be the one dealing with what I've done, not the police. But I wasn't familiar with the law so what should I know?

Before I can bid my goodbye to Emerald, she told me that she'll call the cops to bring us to her building instead of the police station so we can talk privately, which I was thankful enough. I can't bear to to dragged inside a dirty correctional full of people who committed real crimes such as rape and murders.

I gritted my teeth thinking how Sebastian got me this time. He took away my dignity just like that and I swear I would never let it pass.
