"Well kid we're here!" said Chris, putting me down. "Thanks ,Chris!" I said kissing him one more rime for good luck. I started walking up to the big doors. I turned around to see Chris getting out his smokes. He brought it up to his mouth. "Chris, come in with me." He got up and put his cigarette out. "Ok." he said coming up the steps grabbing my hand. We walked in to see two desks of men officers. They had on a blue uniform and badges all over them. I walked up to the one on the right. His head was down doing paper work. "Hello sir." He brought his head up it was a blue eyed blond haired twenty year old name Jeff George. "Oh dear what happened?" "Well my mom came her yesterday for "beating" me." "Oh yes, her name?" "Rachael Tempest." "Oh we were looking for you yesterday, why did you run away?" "Well… I didn't want to get in trouble for stating it." I looked down at my sneakers. Then I looked at Chris he had the degusted looked on his face. "We will let her out, but first we need to know what happened." I took in a deep breath, "She was mad at me for leaving….." I was trying to come up with something fast. "Um…." I moved my hands in a waving motion, I was talking with my hands. "I had run away to the tree house with my friends." I finally couldn't take it I was lying to the authority. "Is that the truth?" asked Jeff getting up and signaling for his partner to come. "No sir." I looked down at the floor, I was going to break down in front of them. "She's a drunk, she needs help." "But sir I need her I can keep her under control." "Not from the looks of it." "Well I can I've been doing it for fourteen years now." "Ok." I grabbed Chris's hand and squeezed it hard. He squeezed back. "It'll be ok." he said grabbing me and hugging me tight. "I know." I said hugging him. "Ok ,Melanie Tempest, your mother will get help, but she will stay in jail for another day or so." "We have to find you a home." "I've got one." I said now from Chris's grip. "I've got Chris." "Uhhh, yeah she has me." "Ok, you can come back in four days to collect your mother." "Thanks." I ran out of there with Chris. "You were actually gonna lye to them." said Chris with a big smile on his face, now getting out the smokes that he wanted ten minutes ago. "Yup." I said taking a quick puff of his. "Well at least you told the truth." "Yup." I said smiling at him. "Hey I will race you to the tree house." "Ok…..Go." "Chris, you cheater." We ran for about mile to the tree house. "Chris, you lost." I said tackling him to the ground out of breath. "Yeah, I let you win." He turning me to my back. He pined me down. "Chris!" "What?" He said leaning down and giving me a kiss. I got the strength and got up and pinned him back. "I've got muscle babe." I said flexing my arm showing it to Chris. "Yup you do!" He said pushing me off him playfully. We climbed up the ladder and up in the tree house. "Hey guys." I said as I got in and saw the boys playing truth or dare, and Joey for once joining in with them. "Thank god you are here Mel, there killing me!" said Joey getting up trying to walk over but the boys grabbed her arms and pulled her down. "Your stuck till the end ,Joey!" said Charlie with a devious smile on his face. "Told ya Joey, never play any games with them!" I said not giving her any sympathy. "Ohhh." said Joey worried that she would have to do something nasty. "Poor Joey!" I said to Chris as we sat down on the hammock. " I learned a long time never to play truth or dare with you prev's" "Yeah." "Guys Joey hasn't learned till today." We laughed at them. "Joey truth or dare? "Truth!" she said fast. "Who do you like?" Her face turned red as a tomato. "Ummm…" "Come on!" said Charlie getting inpatient. "You god damn it!" He was shocked, his face turned red. "I like you too!" said Charlie getting up and going and sitting by her. Her frown turned into a bright smile as they kisse. "Ohhhh!" we all screamed. "Your so immature!" screamed Charlie as they kissed again.
