Chapter One

I stood looking at Karl, my boyfriend as he smuggled a jumper under his coat in a small but expensive shop.

"When I say shoe you run towards the door" Karl pointed to the door "got it?"

I nodded "got it."

We walked slowly around the shop trying to look like everyday people but I was sure that the cashier knew we were stealing.

Then all of a sudden, when I least expected it he said it 'shoe' I ran as fast as I could towards the exit dodging all of the people in my way.

Karl was ahead of me he kept looking behind at me and shouting for me to run faster as security chased us.

"Karl I can't go faster" I shouted back as I slowly ran out of energy.

Karl had made his way out of the door and around the corner to our car waiting for me.

I reached the door but as I stepped outside a police officer grabbed me and forced me to the ground, then handcuffed me.

"Karl" I kept shouting hoping he would return but he never did.

"Right let's get you to the station" the officer forced me to stand up then threw me in to the back of the police van.

I sat in the corner curled up with my hands still handcuffed behind my back.

A short time later we arrived at the station and the officer and a colleague of his got me inside the station and sat me on a small chair.

I could hear the officer at the reception desk "can we book this one in for stealing and hitting an officer."

I froze, I never hit him!

"Excuse me officer, I never hit you. In fact it was the opposite way, you threw me in to the back of the van and when you did I hit my head."

The officer scowled "she's telling a load of shit there"

"Yep like all of the people who come in this place" the receptionist agreed.

"What cell is she going in then?"

"Number three" the receptionist gave the officer a small key.

He walked over to me and pulled me to my feet before leading me to a door, undoing my handcuffs and throwing me inside.

"Bye bye butterfly" he said as he shut the door leaving me on the floor in pain.

I sat in the corner again as that's where I felt the safest and hugged my legs close to me for warmth. My head was pounding after I hit it in the van and I felt sick. I knew if I was to stand up my legs would fail on me and I would collapse on to the cold hard floor.

I decided it would work better if I counted before standing so I could prepare myself "one, two, three" I grabbed the wall as I pulled myself up and I was right my legs were jelly I fell over banging my arm on the solid floor.

I yelped as not only was my head throbbing my now my arm was killing! Then the door opened revealing a kind looking woman officer.

"Are you ok" she walked inside and helped me up.

"Don't let go of me, I can't stand up" I said as she still had her hand around my waist.

"Ok" she continued to support me then sat me on a chair in the cell; it was cold and just as comfy as the floor "I'm going to get an ambulance"

"No! I just need rest" I didn't want to go to the hospital.

"No you need checking over" she left then returned a minute later "the ambulance won't be long."

She stood next to me until the paramedics came just in case I fainted or vomited.

The paramedics entered, it was two women.

"Hello sweetheart, I'm Dixie and this is Tamzin."

I don't know why but I instantly felt like I had known Tamzin all of my life. I gave then a short smile.

"She had fallen on the floor and hurt her arm" the officer said before she stood by the door giving the paramedics some space.

"Can you tell me what happened before you fell" Dixie asked.

I shook my head and kept my eyes focused on Tamzin who was looking at my arm.

"Ouch" I flinched as she touched my elbow.

"Sorry, I think this is broken so we will need to take you in" Tamzin smiled at me making me feel safe instantly.

"I don't want to go in" I looked at her trying to avoid eye contact as it made me feel awkward.

"Sorry but we need to fix your arm" she tried to reason with me but there was only one way I would agree.

"Can you stay with me" I asked Tamzin because I felt like we had a connection.

"Sure" she smiled then turned to Dixie "can we have the frac pack please"

Dixie gave her an orange thing and the strapped my arm in to it making me flinch as it hurt a little.

"Right can we get you in to this wheel chair now" Dixie pulled a wheel chair over and they helped me in to it then took me to the hospital.
