Authors Note:
Hey guys I know I haven't uploaded a new chapter in... Like what?... Two weeks or more and for that I apologize.
I've been packing all day and all night and couldn't find time to write a new chapter.
So here I deliver is a new chapter and I hope you guys like it. Tell me what you think!
I do not own Secret Life of the American Teenager. Only the characters Lucas and Valerie Kate Underwood!
Amy's POV
The last couple of hours have been the most stressful hours of my life. We were currently in a police station and I think they've kept us here for about three agonizing hours asking questions.
"Okay after a couple more questions you guys may go home." Said the officer who looked as if he didn't want to be here as much as I did and left the room leaving us with a detective.
"Thank God... This is stupid." I muttered under my breath and shower how annoyed I was. "Tonight one of your friends died and the murderer got away. Now please tell me why Robert Underwood would want to kill Lucas?" The detective asked and I tensed in my seat next to Ricky.
"I...-uh...he..."I stuttered and looked over to Ricky for help and he took my hand in his and gave them a tight reassuring squeeze.
"My father... I mean Robert wasn't wasn't trying to kill Lucas. He wanted to kill us." Ricky murmured and the detective was in a state of shock, but quickly replaced it with a sympathetic look and a nod.
"Why is this?" detective asked and I looked at Ricky who seemed to be fighting the urge to let tears fall. "It's a long story." I said and hoped that I could get out of here soon.
"I've got plenty of time." The detective said and sat down in a chair. I knew he wasn't going to move until he got answers, so I spoke.
I explained Ricky's disturbed past and Bob's abusive behavior towards his son which lead him to go to jail which he was let out of a couple of weeks ago. It was unfair.
"And because he was let out of jail of course he wanted revenge on Ricky and I think the only way he could really hurt Ricky was by hurting me. I had just arrived at the bakery because I was supposed to fetch a cake for our little party for Valerie- my daughter- and I noticed how cold it was and went to retrieve my jacket that was in the backseat and a second later I was punched harshly into the backseat and Bob held me captive. To fast forward this story I found a way out and ran. I ran near an alley and that's where I saw Ricky and Lucas and Bob was trying to find me and he did, but instead of causing us harm Lucas took the bullet for us and now we have a dead body in our hands. I was so stupid. I shouldn't even have said he didn't have any balls. Goddammit." I explained staring down at a spot on the floor because the god damn floor was oh so much interesting.
I sighed and looked up to see the detective had an amused look on his face and I stared at him as if he were insane. "What's so funny?!" I asked bewildered.
"He tried to shoot you because you said he didn't have balls! Overreact much?" The detective said laughing and I glared at him and he automatically straightened up and stopped laughing.
Now that I think of it... It is pretty funny, but I won't admit that. I looked over to Ricky and his face was blank and no emotions could be seen. "What's wrong?" I asked and I could see his eyes pooling with tears.
"You aren't stupid. I was the stupid one to let you go by yourself to that stupid bakery." He said reminding me of what I said and started getting angry at himself.
"Don't say that. You couldn't have gone with me anyways because you had to watch the kids." I said and Ricky had a very guilty look on his face and I just realized that I didn't even know where Valerie or John was.
"The kids!" I exclaimed and I jumped out of my chair. "Look I already told you what happened detective. Can we go?" I pleaded and he nodded and sighed. "Come on Ricky!" I said ushering him out of the room.
"Why didn't you tell me about the kids?" I said once we were outside. "It's okay I left them with your mom because I knew something was wrong with you." He said. "Oh god! Valerie's one month party. We didn't even get to celebrate it with her." I said and I started to cry silent tears.
Ricky turned me around to face me and wiped my tears off. "Please don't cry. It wasn't your fault and we can do something with Valerie another day." He said and I nodded and we waited for a cab to pull up to drive us home to our kids. But there was still something in the back of my mind that worried me... Clementine.
Clementines POV
I groaned at the sudden noise and looked at the clock that read 3:07 a.m. I heard the noise again and realized it was knocking on the door.
I stoop up from my bed and walked past the luggage I have in the living room because I decided I was leaving and soon.
I looked through the peephole and saw nothing. I opened the door to see if it was just some stupid kid or maybe just the wind. I looked side to side and saw nothing.
I leaned a little bit farther outside and just when I was about to go back inside Bob was in front of me. I yelped instantly.
"Are u leaving so soon? What no goodbye?" He asked evilly and his smirk was killing me. "No... Uh. I'm going on v-vacation." I lied to him and I saw his face contort with anger.
"I don't like being lied to Clementine, but don't worry your staying here and if I get caught I'm bringing you down with me." He said menacingly and left my sight in blink. I closed the door quickly and slid down it and cried and cried. I was going to pay the consequences.
