Chapter 28: Lolah
It's been a week and a half since I started working at the Kit Kat Club and the end of the month is near. I have money up to my ears now! I quickly called Jenna up and told her the good news.
"I made it! I made past my goal so I'm taking you out to Gelato's to celebrate." I say as I hang up with a smile on my face.
At Gelato's I couldn't stop smiling. My life is perfect! I have my friends, Jesse and Italian ice cream, the attacks of Mr. M have sceced for now...what could possibly go wrong?
"Here's to money!" I said holding up my small ice cream cup.
We toast and eat out gelato with happiness in our minds. At this point I don't think Jesse and I can be pulled away from our wonderful love. I have the money so now I can quit the Kit Kat Club and go back to the band. As we were leaving, two cars pulled up. Why was it a police car and the sheriff's car? They walked up to us and asked,
"Which one of you is Lolah McPhee?"
"I am, is something the matter officer?" I answered. Oh Shit! What is going on?
"I hereby arrest you for prostitution at the Kit Kat Club, and under-age prostitution at that. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have a right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you." " he says as flips me around and slaps handcuffs on me.
I felt the tightness of the handcuffs on my wrists.
"But I never was a prostitute, you got the wrong person, I'm innocent!" I protest.
"We have a witnesses and proof, slut" he says as he pulls out a black book.
"It's true!" I flip around and there was Michael Guildman.
"She has been working at my club for the past week. You don't really think she could come up with money that quick on a silly waitressing job, do you?" he says as he shows my friends a black notbook.
"Is this your handwriting?" the officer asks as he shows me that same black book. It had pages and pages of names and places. All men, who apparently claimed to have slept with me.
"Yes! But I never slept with any of them!" I said.
"We have our proof, now get in the car!" the officer says pointing at his car.
"YOU!" I scream at Mr. Guildman. " YOU LIED TO ME! You begged me! You said you would help me, YOU LAIR! I'm innocent! Let me go!" I screamed as I tried to run to Jesse. "Jesse! Jesse! I never did this! You have to believe me! I love you! please! Look at me, LOOK AT ME! Please….you…you have to believe me!" I tried to tell him between sobs of uncontrollable tears.
"I really wish I could," he says as the officer drags me away.
