Our World (GirlxGirl)

Chapter 4

The photo up top is of Arlo.

Nadia is quiet. She's in shock. Officer Jones continues to ask questions

"We're you at the plaza today?" He asked

Nadia broke out of her shock "y-yes" she stuttered. She's on edge her gaurd is up. Way up.

"Okay" he responded "did you know a robbery took place at the Nike store?" He asked?

"no" she answered. As she spoke she looked into the cop car and saw another person. The fact that it may be another white cop terrified her.

He looked up with a fake confused look
"But I could've sworn I seen you with a another male who had stolen items in his hand. "

Her eyes widened.
"Officer I swear it was just a coincidence t-the man he - he threw the products at us i swear we-"

"Save It." Office Jones said cutting her off. "Let me search your house for the products. Just the bottom floor"

Flashbacks of her mother played in her head like a movie. She didn't say anything she just opened the door and let him in.

He looked around. As he was looking they heard a noise upstairs

"Arlo!" Nadia thought

"What was that?" Officer Jones asked grabbing on the gun on his hip.

Nadia responded " nothing! I just have a dog and she walks around alot upstairs. Let me go get her" she ran upstairs. She took a sharp right and opened Arlo's door and closed it softly. Arlo was confused.

"What's wrong?" she asked with a confused look. She tried to get up.

"NO NO DONT GET UP!" Nadia yelled

"What's wrong?" Arlo asked again

Nadia couldn't hold it in no more. Her face was hot and red and her tears were coming out without her consent.

She said

"The man who killed my mother is downstairs. He's in the house. I cant let you go down there, he'll kill you. I can't let that happen. I can't lose you" she cried

She fell to the floor hyperventilating and shaking. Arlo comforted her. As she was consoling Nadia. They heard another pair of footsteps enter the house. Nadia thought it was another officer, and she wasn't wrong.

"Officer Jones. Get out of the house. You have no reason to be in here. The suspect was found. Leave the premises" said a strong female voice.

A pair of footsteps came up the stairs and asked
"Is anyone here?"

Arlo said "yea in here"

"What the fuck is this bitch doing" Nadia thought.

The door opened slowly to reveal a black woman in a police uniform. She saw nadia hyperventilating and shaking in Arlo's arms.

She spoke

"I am so sorry. Him coming in and searching without a permit was against the law and I will tell our supervisors. Are you okay?"

"Yea. Thank you alot lot. You can just leave. We dont want anything" Arlo responded.

"Okay" the female officer said. "My name is officer Michelle if you want to ask for me"

Officer Michelle left the house and closed the door before her. Arlo looked at Nadia. "Are you okay?" Arlo asked

"Why?"

"Why what?" Arlo asked

"Why? Why him? Why is he an officer again? Why isn't he rotting in a cell? Why did it have to be My mother? Why God? Why? What was the point? They say everything happens for a reason but I don't believe that shit. My mother wasn't killed and my uncle wasn't falsely accused for "a reason" it just dosent make any fucking sense" she started pulling her hair.

Arlo grabbed her hands

"STOP NADIA!" listen I dont have the answers to your questions but the least I can do is let you now that I'm here. Through thick and thin."

Nadia heard Arlo words.

Arlo stayed there and comforted Nadia untill they fell asleep.

7 hours later

Nadia woke up and saw Arlo's arms around her. She blushed. She tapped her.

"You awake?" She asked

"Yea, you just woke up?"

"Yea"

They got silent

"Do you want to get up?" Arlo asked

"No" nadia answered "lets just stay here"

"Ok"
