Chapter 50 Arrested?
Paul POV
"I convinced him to let you see Bella but there are a few conditions in place" I sigh heavily but I couldn't push down the joy that fluttered into my chest. "That's great, thanks." He shrugged his shoulder like he had done this before.
But by the melancholy look on his face, I could tell that what he has to say next wouldn't be a good thing. "You won't be saying that when you hear the conditions, one she is home by 8, two unless she is seeing Emily or Kim on the rez you have to head to the house to spend time with her. Three..." He sucked in a deep breath before looking at me speaking slowly as he said the next few words like I'm some kind of child about to throw a tantrum. "No sex"
I stood up and glared at him he couldn't have been curious, she is my mate, mate meaning we were expected to have sex. "You're shitting me," I said it in English I was so pisted off.
"Watch your language I won't tell you again, or we can go talk in my office preferably." I shudder at the cold implication there is no way that I wanted that. "I have to finish my physics paper." I placed my headphones in my ear and went to work on writing his last paper.
It had been a couple of hours since I had that talk with my dad when I leaned back in my chair letting my back cracked. "Hey, kid can I ask you a question." I looked up to see a pasty looking white boy with bull brown eyes staring down at me. This silent confusion ringing in his eyes. In all the time that I had been writing my paper, this loser kept staring at me.
"Sure if you can tell me what time it is." I watched his brow dip down slightly as frown line formed in his face as he stares blankly at a Rolex watch. "It's 3:45" It felt like my heart just did a trust fall into my stomach I'm not going to make it in time. I grabbed my bag slamming my laptop shut as I grabbed my keys.
"I gotta to drop my paper off I'll be back. Hurry up and ask your question." I looked the white boy stand in front of mine. His beady eyes searching my face as he spoke. "Your dad is he always this serious and demanding like this or it it just around us." I snorted he had no idea how demanding this guy could be. "This is him laid back you don't want to see him at home. Later I should be black in like 20."
I waved over my soul and jogged out of the firehouse like it was on fire which would have been ironic really. I ran to the chopper slipping on bike before pulling off in high speed. The air whipped around me as I went at least 35 over the speed limit but that didn't matter, if I got a ticket then I got a ticket but I need to get this paper there.
I heavily as my heart began to pound in my chest and threaten to explode from all the adrenaline. That in when I heard the sirens of a police car drift into the air. Not just any police cruise but Charlie's cruiser. I'm sure that he wanted me to pull over into the shoulder but I couldn't do that no matter what kind of crap sandwich I got later. So I kept going ignoring the sirens please for me to stop.
I pulled up on the curb of the school the mighty white building looking over me as I started to jog up to the glass double doors. Behind me, I could hear the sound of rubber tiles hitting gravel as I watched Charlie get out of the car with a deeply seeded scowl on his face.
But I so didn't have time fo this, I broke out into a brisk run as my muscles began to burn as I ran down the hallways. Even as I ran further from here I could smell Charlie's anger wafting down the boots slapped against the polished ground I can't be late handing in this paper.
I made my way to room 320 till I saw an old man in a cheap green three-piece suit in the middle of summer he has to be out of his mind." your a minute too late." I let my eyes adjust as my heart dropped.
My eyes had dark spot danced in my vision as I tried to let my eyes adjust to the light as my voice cracked. "Please let me hand it in, I didn't mean for it to be late, I have been having some family troubles and I was at the firehouse and I tried to get here as fast I could please take it."
As my eyes finally adjusted I noticed a slim and beautiful figure standing timely and clearly uncomfortable next to him. Her large brown doe eyes had me hooked in a trance as this deep frown formed on her face. As if she was silently telling me that I should have been here on time.
As I turned my attention to Dr. Spiegelburg his thick British accent cut deep into my chest. Saying the exact word that I wished he hadn't. "Family woes is no reason to be late, I'm sorry but I will not make an exception."
Family woes! I wanted to scream I wish it is something a simple as family woes, that would make this sound a little pathetic than it actually is. "Your not understanding, this isn't some spat or discouragement. I'm getting kicked out of my house by my mother, my brother hates me and I'm about to get arrested for speeding just to get the paper here. If you don't take this paper it's just going to make my life so much I'm begging you, I'll even tutor your worst student just please take the paper."
My voice is borderline begging as his cold green eyes looked me up and down as his hand gravitate towards his beard slowly stroking it as he mulls over his thoughts. That's when I noticed his eyes were drawn to something behind me. As I spun on my heels to see what he was staring at I noticed a fuming Charlie.
His eyes wild with rage as he shifted his gaze from me to Bella before turning his attention to me. "To think that I agreed to let you continue to see my daughter." I didn't bother to look at him at this point my worst fear is my dad finding out I failed my class before I even took it. God he is going to kill me. "Fine Paul I will let it slide this one time but I am warning you I have my eyes on you."
I sucked in a breath of relief as I unzipped my bag and gave him the paper, he read of the title which forced a smug yet satisfied smile from on his face. "I figured that you would write about monster classics vs pop culture. I'm sure that this will be a very opinionated piece."
Fo a moment I forgot about the angry man staring me down with a gun attached to his is the first breath of relief that I took in a while. "My dad and his co-workers think so, thank you so much for this you have no idea what this means to me."
The stiff nod he gave me sad it allows but the smile of pity plastered on his face made me cringe even more."I'm sorry to hear about your family trouble." I nodded my head and turn to look at Charlie giving him the best humble smile I could as I spoke in a carefree tone. "I'm can assume that there is no way that you would waive the charges."
He raised both of his eyebrows in anger as his deep as I sighed "Fine can I at least call my dad to come to pick his bike up. He will kill me if I get it impounded." Charles pulled out a pair of metallic bracelets as he glared heavily at me. Fuck me.
"Daddy, you're kidding me right, he is just trying to get his paper on time. He didn't even know that I was here." I sighed heavily and look at Bella her comments in my defense would just make thing worse. The cold metal handcuff gripped tightly to my skin as I spoke softly to her."Don't bother, this is just how my day is going. Later."
Charlie yanked roughly on my arms as he pulled me back to his care, the bright red and blue light faintly shinned as the boiling hot afternoon sun poured down my back. Even as he shoved me into the car, the hot leather seat burned my skin as I whimpered in the back seat from the pain.
But even in this never-ending loop of bad luck, I got my paper in and that is all that matters to me right now. I'm sure that dad won't be that made about me speeding and evading arrest right? "I'll call your mother when we get to the station" As the roar of the engine ripped me out of my thoughts I couldn't help but scoff at his."Don't bother just call my dad she won't come."
I looked out the window ignoring the bars on the back window, just watching people drive by just as the squad fire truck passed us. I groaned as I locked eyes with the driver of the truck. Great now dad was going to have to go in a fire with me on his brain that wasn't going to be good. "Well looks like now I have to call your mother."
I scoffed at him what did that mean he would come to get me the moment that the fire is down with. "Just put me in a cell and save yourself the effort she not coming to get me. She wants nothing to do with me." I knew that my voice sounds bitter and hurt but that didn't bother him he still scoffed at my pain."I got to call one of you parent and wasn't that your dad driving by just now."
I sucked in an aggravated breath as my eyes slowly closed from exhaustion. "Yeah it was and he will be at the station as soon as the fire is put out I know that his co-workers will tell him that I'm in the back of the squad car. I'm telling your right now my mother won't come so don't bother calling."
I knew that the more I said she wasn't coming the more that it hit mother didn't want anything to do with me because of one fight, what would she think of me when Charlie told her that I am arrested. That everything she thought about me is right.
I sighed as I was pulled out of the car and my thoughts only to see Sam making his way into the station. This surprised yet disappointed frown formed on his face."The hell did you do Paul?" I looked at him for a moment rolling my eyes at his tone before being pushed down into a cool chair. I'm just glad to be out of that heat my shirt is stuck to my sink for fuck's sake.
"Seriously what did you do?" I looked up to see Sam frowning for a moment before giving in.. "I had to hand in a paper but if I was late I would have failed, though I ended up being late anyway and in the process, I outran Charlie here. Lucky I got the teacher to accept my paper before he arrested me. So you know my life is just a steaming pile of shit anyway what does it matter."
I look down at my hands not bothering to look up at my brother simply listening in on Charlie's phone call. "Hi, I have your son Paul down here that station, he was arrested for reckless driving and going way over the speed limit. Instead of stopping when he was told to, he went faster. I arrest him at the school since this is his first offense I have no problem releasing him into your custody."
I scoffed "I told you to save your breath." There was static on the other end of the phone as Charlie gave me warning glare to shut up. "That's don't sound like my problem Charlie, I suppose that Paul didn't tell you that I was done with him." Charlie's eyes seemed to widen with shock as his brain tried to comprehend what my mother just said.
"He did more than once, may I asked why that is." I looked at Sam who frowned heavily clearly uncomfortable with this conversation. His eyes searched the rest of the station before landing on me.
"I gotta to go do paperwork I'll let you know when dad gets here." I nodded my head as he walked away leaving me to sit silently neck to a shocked Charlie. "He and Jake had a physical altercation that ended with Paul disappearing for 3 days. He comes back unapologetic and rude. Despite the fact that this I all of his fault, Jake was seriously injured and I will not have that rapid beast near my youngest. As far as I am concerned Paul is better off dead or out of my life."
I sucked in a breath as I blinked back the tears that were trying to form in my eye. I knew it but hearing her say it was a whole other story, I turned to look at Charlie I could hear the clicking of the phone as his eyes began to fill up with confusion. "I told you not to call her you only made my day worse thanks for that." I fought back the tears that were forming as I spoke in a cold bitter voice.
After about an hour I smelled smoke wafting into the air as my dad came running in past the front desk agent. His frowned as his chard turnout gear came into few, his entire face covered in ash as the smell of burning flesh made me want to vomit. He must have gotten burned in the fire. As my eyes drifted toward his arm I could see a thick bandage wrapped around his forearm with a little blood on it. "What the hell did you do Paul."
I couldn't even speak its not like I got a chance before I could say a word a gruff voice spoke firmly as a hand wrapped firmly around my wrist unlocking my cuffs. "He was speeding on his way to get his paper in on time. I took him in but he isn't being charged." I looked up to see Charlie glaring at me as I rubbed my sore red wrist gently.
"Paul look at me." I didn't, I couldn't meet his gaze, I just sat mutely as Charlie spoke to him in a rather urgent voice. "Danny do you mind if I speak to you in private." I couldn't tell if my dad nodded his head or not but he turned his attention to me. "Go back to the firehouse and stay there."
I nodded my head obediently as I hopped onto my bike and pulled off. All the while my mother's word rang in my head. Even as I walked into the firehouse and collapsed in my old chair. All I could think about were her words. He's better off dead. "Thought you were in there slammer." I felt small smile form on my face as Aylen spoke to me. "Nah arrested for speeding on my way to hand in my paper."
Her wide chocolate brown eyes seemed to grow dark as she shifted her gaze to the textbooks in front of me. "What you refuse to pay the ticket." I laughed at her I'm glad that someone could make light of this whole thing. As I turn to look at her I could feel this sly grin form on my face.
"Nah my girlfriend's father doesn't like me too much, plus there was the fact that I didn't stop when he hit his sirens." Aylen looks up at me wide eye as this mischief glint shine in her eyes lighting up her whole face. Before she began to bust out into laughter. "I'm sorry you tried to outrun the Chief who also happened to be your girlfriend father."
I grinned as I realize that it was pretty badass "Try, I did outrun him and got my paper turned in all at once. I know I am badass." She laughs before turning to look at the door her eyes narrowing for a moment before shaking her head. " More like dumbass your dad is going to kill you."
I laugh but nodded my head, as I watched him walk into the room his green eyes bubbling with age as he stalked like a predator getting ready to pounce. All of his muscle tense and buzzing with energy. I'm sure that his eyes were threatening to turn red at any moment. "Office!"It was one word but the whole house shut up at that one command. I stalked silently down the hallway till I made my way back to his office.
I sat on the bed pulling my legs up to my chest as I rested my head on my knees caps, letting my gaze dropped to my feet as my father stormed in. His eyes glowing crimson red as he spoke in a rage-filled tone."What you did was stupid and idiotic but you were only doing it so that you wouldn't fail your class so I'm not too upset with you. But I want to talk about your mother."
A clipped laughed escaped my lips at the word mother, but what I didn't notice were the way that his lips curled in disgust as he said the word mother. This man was married to her for 65 years and now he was disgusted with her. I was tearing them apart that would just be another thing for her to yell at me for.
I sucked in a breath before looking him in the eyes holding his gaze the best that I could though it wasn't easy. "There nothing to talk about, I already know where I stand when do you get off so we can get my stuff." I keep my voice low hoping that he couldn't hear me but I knew that he could.
"I don't get off till tomorrow morning, I have 12-hour shifts this week. Here take the tuck to get your stuff. I'll stop by later tonight to make sure that you are okay home alone." I nodded my head slowly as I stood up my dad pulled me into a hug before he could think about it. "I'm sorry that she is doing this, I knew she was protective of Jake but this is crazy."
I nodded my head and slowly as I hid my face in his thick meaty shoulder. "I could have told you how she is about Jake but no one ever listens to me. I think that I am going to go for a run. I got dirt in my fur that needs to be washed out anyway." I watched my father nodded his head before switching out my key with the eightball for his set of silver keys.
As I made my way to the common room I started to pack up my stuff as I felt eyes on me. Any other time I would have just shoved my stuff into my bag and ran off. But this time I took my time with each book and my laptop before finally taking in a deep breath. I couldn't put this shit off any more than I already did. "You're not in trouble are you." I looked up from my thought to see Aylen looking intently at me.
"Nah just got to go do something, maybe I'll see you later, it's nice to officially meet you." I gave her my best carefree grin before running out of the room. I hope that all went well with my mother.
