Shooting Between Us: 3 years on COMPLETE

Chapter Thirty Seven

Luke's POV:

What could he possibly want? I followed the second officer, who didn't seem much friendlier than the first one. To be honest, they both seemed like a pair of arrogant pricks. I followed him to the interrogation room, I had a feeling that this was where the first officer had taken Calum to give him shit about the terror to attacks. My situation was tough, and it made me very aggravated considering I didn't do anything, but mine made more sense as to why I was accused. At least I knew it was Arzaylea lying about it, and not someone else. Calum had no clue what was going on, it's very confusing. It's true what he was saying, the attacks happened years ago and the cameras were removed by Vlad and his men, how would they know he helped "blow up the school"? And all this talk about stealing the blueprints, I think he's forgetting that the law enforcement WANTED him to do that, so they could prepare and educate themselves about the weaponry those guys had. It made no sense, but my situation... could ruin my life. It's a false accusation, and even though I can't prove it to be true, I can't prove it to be false either. I can't do anything. I can blame and blame Cameron all I like, but considering these policemen are pricks and don't even remember that Cameron has done this before, to the person I love... well, it's my word against Arzayleas at this rate.

"Follow me, kid." He said as we sat down. For fucks sake, not again! "I'm not a kid." I said bluntly. I mean I'm fucking twenty, nobody can get away with calling me that anymore. "You were once." He sat down in the larger chairs. I rolled my eyes as I walked towards the desk. "Okay." I decided if I kept it short, he would maybe shut up. "Sit down, child?" He dipped his coffee. What?! Oh for fucks sake. "Can you not call me names like that please? I'm twenty" I said defensively as I eventually say down. "Pfft. So how many times did you hang out with Arzaylea outside of school?" He asked. Hmmm i should be honest with this one. I didn't do anything wrong but if I'm as honest as I can be, it can really help my case here. "Errr... my boss once invited me out and she was there. But I er... I didn't er... know she was gonna er... be there" I mumbled. Fucks sake I was stuttering a lot but I couldn't help it. "Oh really? Would you like to explain this?" Said the cop as he pulled a piece of paper from his desk and unfolded it. It was the drawing of the pikachu ass, it almost made me gag looking at it once again. "This is a pikachu ass, she did this for you." He added. Well he literally just said what I needed to say. "Well like you said, she drew it. I don't know why she did it." "Yet you kept it on your desk. How many times did you sleep with her?" He asked. Woah woah woah!! How dare he?!

"I didn't keep it on my desk! She must have put it there, and Jesus Christ! I didn't sleep with her!" I immediately shot back not wanting you good the question at all. "She told me you did. Apparently she was giving you blowies under your desk" he scoffed. I felt sick just hearing that, she always said she would make something up like that. "That's bullshit! She's lying! Shes shagging the PE teacher, not me!" I tried to name drop Cameron in it, hoping it would get him off my back. Cameron's the one who needs interrogating right now. "Well she said it's you, we must take action. We are making her have a DNA test do we know." Said the cop. A DNA test, what the fuck is a DNA test going to do? Well in all honesty I don't want to know. "Oh for fucks sake, this is ridiculous." I scoffed. "You're ridiculous! You're the pervert!" He pointed towards me. That's it, I've had enough. I have had fucking enough. I stood up because I was getting angry and frustrated as hell, and began to raise my voice. "I'm not! I'm not a fucking pervert! I haven't done anything, dickhead!" I yelled. "Don't you dare swear at me! You're the one sleeping with a student! I'm going to keep you in the cell with your terrorist boyfriend until we find out the truth!" He threatened. "I'm not sleeping with a student! Calum and I haven't done anything! We are being framed!" I continued to attempt to defend myself. "Just shut up and follow me. Shitty little child." He shot me a dirty look. That's it: that's fucking it. "You aren't even listening to us! FOR FUCKS SAKE IM NOT A FUCKING CHILD!" I screamed, how could he call me a child and accuse me of this at the same time?!

And then he did something. Something I wasn't expecting. He didn't hit me, or arrest me again, or shoot me. He tasered me. Fucking TASERED me. I couldn't believe this... He threw my tasered body in the cell. I have never felt anything so fucking painful in my life: this was more painful than a kick to the balls. I felt a shock and cramp form all over my entire body it was awful! It really was fucking awful! My body jolted in the cell, still trying to recover from the pain. Calum's face was filled with confusion. "The fuck?!" He stood up to look at the cop. "Stupid cunt!" I bashed on the cell wall, feeling truly agonised. "Shut up!" Said the cop as he waved his taser around. "Are you okay?! What the hell happened?" Calum asked me. "For fucks sake, I can't take this anymore Calum!" I groaned. "I bet you're gagging for a smoke" he said, I kinda wish he didn't bring this up. Because I've been craving nicotine for hours, but even more so now, I haven't had a fag since this fucking morning, and it was coming up to night time. Thinking about it made me feel worse! All day it's just been... talking... sitting... interrogation... tasering... it was getting rather repetitive and boring to be honest. We were fed a little bit of shitty prison food earlier before the interviews, I was getting so stressed with everything, it's all a joke. "Yes! Yes I am!" I replied to Calum's question. "That fucking scabby cunt tasering me for what?! Gah stupid fucking scabby cunt!" I repeated myself, I couldn't help but feel the rage overtaking my body. "Calm down Luke!" Calum held onto my arm. "How the hell am I meant to calm down?" "Um.. I don't know..." he said, and to be honest I don't blame him for being clueless in this situation. I started kicking the cell door, violence overtaking my body like some sort of aggressive exorcist, "Luke." Calum attempted again to stop me, but I just kept kicking the bars. "Luke!" He pulled me away from the bars, the cop still staring at us whilst all this was going on. "Sorry sorry" I sighed stressfully. "Let me distract you" Calum cupped my cheeks and gently kissed me. To start with, it was working, as I locked lips with Calum and remembered that throughout all of this, we still had each other. That was until the police officer yelled "batty boys!" Fucking prick! How dare he! I will kill him! "Shut up you! Your mother wanted a girl!" I used the famous line that was used in the argument between Frank and Dougie and Vlad, when Vlad made fun of Dougie's pink and floral video camera. "Shut up!" He then tasered us both, as if once wasn't brutal enough! The officer left leaving me and Calum on the floor going completely insane reacting to the shocks in our body.

We had to stay the night in the cell. The bed was quite small, but at least it had blankets. Calum and I spooned with each other, not knowing what else we could do. It took us a while to fall asleep, in fact, I'm pretty sure we actually cried ourselves to sleep. It was the worst night sleep I've ever fucking had in my life, falling asleep in a cold and cramped environment not knowing if your life is gonna change and be ruined forever. When we woke up... we wasn't feeling any better either. The awakening was rather rude in all honesty. It was a loud throat clear from the cops. "You're being released today. You're innocent. Pfft." I'm sure Calum is thinking the same, but what is it with these fucking pffts? They're saying it a lot! It's so unprofessional for police officers to do it as much as they do. But right now, I was more relieved to hear we could go home. "Fucking told you we were innocent!" I yelled, extremely angry that they have wasted our time. Done all of this shit for nothing. Someone must have turned themselves in. "Oh shut up. You're free to go." He rolled his eyes. "You're kidding right? Fucks sake." Calum took my hand as they unlocked the cell door. "Come on Luke, let's just go." He added. I had a million questions to ask the cop, and I'm sure Calum did too... but right now, we were just so focused on getting out of this damn place and getting home where we are safe. We had spent enough time in here as it is.

How are Calum and I supposed to carry on like normal after something like that?! How?!
