Chapter 27.
Last night's event seemed to be the only subject everyone was talking about at school the next day. Apparently, the whole band got arrested for having cocain hiding in their instruments. John died of laughter over this.
It was a bit refreshing to have them gone for a day. No arguements, mean looks down the halls, no Tracy. I felt a little bad for her. She got involved with an asshole. Bringing that baby along with those people.
The school day seemed to be going by smoothly until the police arrived. I was sitting in Physics, about to tap Olivia on the shoulder when an officer came into the room.
"George Harrison?" He said looking around. I slumped in my seat as the class 'Oooo'ed' me. I raised my hand slowly. Well atleast I finally got Olivia's attention.
"Come with me. Grab your things." He said. I grabbed my school bag and notes and got out of my seat clumsily. I looked back to see Olivia watching me.
..
"I'm not sayin anythin until I 'ave my lawyer." Paul said crossing his arms.
"Alright then. I'll wait." The detective said sitting on the desk, nudging the phone to us. Paul sighed and slumped in his seat.
"I don't have one."
"That's what I thought. Now look, someone say's they saw you four leaving the scene of the crime last night around the time of the accident."
"Who's this source? Where ye gettin your information from? It was a gig alright?? There were lots of people there! We were just goin home!" John said shaking his head.
"We can't disclose that kind of information. All we have are you four suspects. The words from the gentlemen in jail, and our witness. He is pressing charges."
"Keith!? You're taking that son of a bitches word over ours!?" John yelled, standing up.
"Please young man calm down or I will arrest you."
"I don't give a shit! Until ye 'ave proof we did it, then ye can press all your fuckin charges!" John said in the detectives face. Paul holding him back as me and Richard stared.
"Cuff them all."
"What?? We didn't do anythin!" Richard said nervously as we were all forced up and cuffed. I sighed and shut my eyes. My parents will kill me if they find out. No contest. No record deal. No money. I'm dead.
While we were lead down the halls, other students stared and whispered. We were stopped by a familiar voice.
"Wait um, Detective!"
I turned to see Olivia. She smiled at me and began talking.
"Mister detective sir, um, about last night..."
"Look young lady, these four troublemakers were seen fleeing the scene!"
"No they weren't fleeing the scene because they were with me last night. We were at the concert yes but once we heard the explosion outside, everyone went crazy going outside to check on their own vehicles. This one here um..."
Paul I mouthed.
"P..Paul, he was borrowing his father's vehicle and would get killed if he got even a scratch on it. So they ran outside, and moved their car, afraid of another explosion so of course they sped off. I'm sure it may have seem suspicious but they were just looking out for the car." She said innocently. I couldn't help smiling.
"And um, what kind of relationship do you have with these." The detective said pointing to us.
"Oh um, I'm his girlfriend." She said walking over and linking her arm with mine. I blushed as she kissed my cheek.
"Is this true?" The detecive asked.
I nodded and looked at Olivia. "Yes. You'd think I lie about being with a beautiful, lovely girl like her?" I said dazed. She blushed.
"Okay then I guess..."
"The most beautiful girl I've ever seen. The way the wind blows through her hair, the way she looks at me with those beautiful eyes, her soft voice, cute laugh, amazing body." I went on without thinking. The other lads just smiled and giggled as Olivia looked up at me, smiling like crazy. The detective cleared his throat and broke the moment.
"Wait a minute. If that's really true, then why did the young man in Jail tell us there was no girl with them? Cuff her too!"
"What?? No!" I yelled.
..
"I'm sorry we got ye into this." I said as Olivia sat next to me in the cell. She shrugged.
"Atleast I tried to help. I'm sorry It didn't work."
"It's fine love. Fuckin officer bastards can fuck off!" John yelled. Paul calmed him down as Richard pouted.
"Me mum is goin to kill me. I mean literally kill me. She'll grab the kitchen knife and..."
"Kill you?" I said leaning my head back against the chipped wall.
"Yeah." He said quietly.
"Alright tough guy, you can make a call now." An officer said opening the cell.
"Uh, I don't 'ave anyone I can call." John said looking down. The officer went on to Paul.
"What about you sally?"
Paul made a face and stormed off with the officer. I looked down at my hands and sighed.
"Did you really mean what you said back at school? Or um, was it just to fool the detective?" Olivia said quietly. I looked at her.
"I meant it. I mean I know we just met but um...I guess I like ye." I turned red. She smiled and reached for my hand.
"I like you too George. I mean I'd never admit it up front but, I think you're pretty cute."
I smiled and held her hand. "If we um, get out of this place soon, would ye like to get somethin to eat?"
"I'd like that."
I nodded and looked over at Richard and John who were just smiling like idiots at me. I made a face and they laughed, talking to each other.
Paul came in shortly and sat down shaking his head. "I'm no longer speaking to my dad. He's dead to me."
John groaned and shut his eyes.
"You, short stuff." The officer said to Richard. He shook his head and the officer turned to me.
"You?"
I nodded and let go of Olivia's hand. "I'll be back."
I followed the officer to the phone on the wall. I dialed and waited for an answer. Please pick up. Please pick up.
"Hello?"
"Dad?"
"George shouldn't ye be in school?"
I stayed quiet and he gave a long sigh. "What did you do. Where are you?"
I bit my lip and shut my eyes as I spoke. "In jail. Me and the mates. We need a bail out."
"How much?"
"Twenty-five."
Another long sigh. "I'll be down in a few minutes."
"Thanks dad. But um, don't tell mum please?" I pleaded.
"Son I have to tell your mum this."
"Dad she'll kill me!"
"Yeah and she'll kill me first for protecting you. We'll talk about it later. But you're definitly getting grounded for this."
I sighed. "Okay. I understand. Thanks dad."
"Mhhm." He hummed and hung up. I followed the officer back to the cell and sat down next to Olivia.
"So?" John asked.
"Dad's comin. He's not happy though."
