That One Boy | A Upstead Fanfiction

Part 1

It had been a year since my dad left me in a car to rot. It had been almost a month since my life changed. One day when I was 13 I witnessed a shooting and the one and only Hank Voight questioned me. After he found out who I really was. Hank and his family took me in and gave me a fresh start. Then I met Antonio he was a new detective in Intelligence. He is like my big brother we have been inseparable since. On my 18th birthday was my high school graduation. Before we left to go to the gradation. I opened a letter that I got. It said.

Dear Hailey Upton,

We are happy so say that you got in to the Chicago Police Academy. You can report to the front desk for more information Next Monday at 8

Sincerely,

The Chicago Police Academy

I was about to go on stage to get get diploma and my Dad showed up drunk and high. It wasn't surprising. He grabbed the microphone from my principal and screamed, FUCK YOU HAILEY UPTON. The principal had Hank grab him and put him in cuffs. He threw him into the back of his car and I was nearly in tears. That day I said to myself that I would never talk to my Dad again. That day when we got home I ran up to me and Justin's room and I started bawling my eyes out. Later that day at the dinner table.

Camille: So Hailey, Now that you graduated high school what are you going to be? A lawyer? A doctor?

Hailey: Well I want to be a police officer.

Camille almost choked on the Steak.

Hank: Like Patrol?

Hailey: No more like stuff in Intelligence.

Camille: Like joining Intelligence?

Hailey: Yeah.

Camille: Hailey sweetie I don't think that is a good idea.

Hailey: Just because I'm woman does not mean I can't be a police officer. I want to make the streets of Chicago safe for little kids to play on and not be locked up in there house because there parents are to scared that they will get shot or even killed."

I got up and left. I was pissed. My mom doesn't support the fact I want to be a police officer. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. I didn't want to talk to her. Then there was a knock on my door. It was Hank.

Hank: Hey, can I come in?

Hailey: If it is to try to talk me out of it you can't change my mind I already got into the academy.

Hank: You did?

Hailey: Yeah.

Hank: Really?

Hailey: Yeah really.

Hank: I'm so proud of you.

Hailey: You are?

Hank: Of course I am.

Hailey: I don't think Camille is.

Hank: I think she is just shocked and terrified that one day she will get a phone call saying she lost you.

Hailey: Yeah you're right.

Hank: When do you start at the academy?

Hailey: Monday Morning. Hank, since you're basically my dad will I still be able to get into intelligence?"

Hank: We will have to try.

Hailey: I think I'm going to go to bed. Goodnight Hank.

Hank: Goodnight Hailey

Hank leaves the room. I pulled out my phone and I called Antonio.

Antonio: Hey Hailey what's up?

Hailey: I applied to the police academy.

Antonio: Really?

Hailey: Yeah, And I got in.

Antonio: No way.

Hailey: Yes way.

Antonio: We are celebrating tomorrow when you come in with Hank.

Hailey: Goodnight I love you Antonio.

Antonio: Goodnight I love you too Hailey.

I hung up and I tried to fall asleep. I thought about how my old family would react My dad would probably beat me and say your not tough enough. I finally fell asleep I dreamed about having a family and getting to solve crime every day then I woke up to a loud gunshot.
