But if this story's getting ya down head over to watching the hours tick by at citadel high! I love that and this story so freaking much because I think watching the hours tick by is freaking hilarious to write for and I love to be serious sometimes for this story depending on my mood but anyways I give you H.T.N.G.U.O.S.L!

There was a knock at the door before it slowly creaked open.

"Hunnie, a…policeman is here to speak with you."

Chakawas frowned sadly as she saw Shepard sitting on her bed in tears. Shepard looked up, her eyes red and watery with black circles around her them.

"What now? Am I going to go to jail? Good, then maybe someone can beat some sense in me." Shepard mumbled.

Chakawas bit her lip, "How about we talk a little later sweetie? I know you need time and I'll give it to you but it's not healthy for you to keep it all bottled up."

Shepard stood up with a wobble, lord only know when's the last time she left bed. "Alright. Let's go."

The two walked down the stairs, the police officer sat on the couch with a grim look on his face. Shepard sat cross legged on the couch in front of the police officer with no emotion on her face.

"Would you like some coffee? Tea? Water?…ice brandy?" Chakawas said the last part to lighten the mood.

"Sure." The man said not taking his eyes off Shepard.

Chakawas nodded and left the room.

"Do you know who I am?" He pointed to his name tag. Dept. nought. Jacks father.

It didn't phase Shepard, she could care less who the hell this guy was, but she was going to be nice about it.

"And how are you today? That's fantastic." She mumbled. "What do you want?"

"You put my girl in the hospital you sonuvabitch." He growled. "And if you get locked up, I'll be the one to throw away the key."

Shepard frowned, "I did what I had to, I loved jack like a sister. But she took it to far."

Chakawas came back with a cup of tea for Shepard and some coffee for the deputy.

"I'll let you two talk alone." She said before she left again.

The deputy's eyes followed shepard's hand as she took the cup and sipped it slowly, she smacked her lips together before she talked again.

"Now, before you come in here and disrespect me and my aunt. I would like to share with you how horrible your daughter really is."

Two months ago…

"What did you do bitch!?"

Jack slapped Miranda across the room, dried blood crusting around her knuckles from the earlier beating she had given her "girlfriend."

"Please stop. I'm sorry I'll do better next tim-"

"To late for that! On the bed now!" Jack snarled.

Miranda wanted to beg, but she knew she's only get into more trouble so she complied and laid on the bed.

Jack ripped her clothes off and shoved a sock in her mouth, "No one can hear you scream now."

Miranda felt sick, was this the end was jack going to kill her? Of course not. Right?

Jack stood back and looked at Miranda with disgust, "Too perfect."

Jack looked at her nails, they were long and sharp, "Hm…should I cut these? Nah, you can handle it."

Present…

"Stop!" The man yelled.

Your daughter raped my gir-! She…raped Miranda Lawson. Captain of the cheer team at Baltimore high. Honor student. Would have been valedictorian. Class president. A beautiful individual. And a tortured soul with a heart of gold." Shepard stood up, "So take me the fuck away! Do. It. Take me away for being in love! I'm a stupid. Unstable. And a Fool for doing what I did, but your daughter! Your daughter is just a disgrace." Shepard sat down, "I'm done talking. Do what you have to, I'll go easily."

The police officer lips twitched with something unreable. "Your court day is the twenty first of next month, if you're not there than I'll be force to come down here single handedly and arrest you myself."

And without another word he left.

Chakwas came and sat beside Shepard, "Are you going to be okay?" She whispered running a hand through shepard's hair.

Shepard huffed, "I'm…I'll be okay it's just a lot going through my head with Kelly and jack and jail and…Miranda."

"I heard what you said, about Miranda. And jack and all the horrible things she was doing to that poor girl." Chakawas whispered.

"She's not a poor girl auntie. I don't know…why she would sit there and take that from jack, she could easily break up with her at anytime." Shepard rubbed her temples, "I-I know we didn't really like each other in school but I respected her, she could have talked to me about it."

"Maybe she couldn't. Maybe…she just didn't want to, maybe not talking about would just take it all away in her head when it wasn't happening."

"I have to talk to her auntie." Shepard stood up.

"Tomorrow…" chakawas smiled, "Get some actual rest you'll be fine."

"How's she feeling?"

Oriana smiled, "She's doing great…she's been a little sad and a lot less talkative."

Shepard nodded, "Did she…you know? Well talk abo-"

"Every time she said something Shepard." Oriana smiled with a little laughed. "She asked if I've talked to you recently, have I seen you around. The whole nine sky, she really cared about you."

Shepard clenched the roses in her hand, "I do too…I mean I care about her a lot." Shepard blushed, "I better get in there."

"Good luck."

Shepard slowly went inside the door. "Miranda I-"

Jack met her at the door, "Helllllllooo sheppy."

The world spun around and around before going completely dark. Shepard's eyes snapped opened as she shot up with tears running down her cheeks. She panted raggedy like a dog in heat, the only thing should could hear was the faint sound of the tv in the background and the fast pace of her heart.

She slammed back on her bed, "I have to apologize."

Intensive care. The last place on earth anyone wants to be no matter the case.

"You're going to be okay baby doll, ain't nobody gonna hurt you no more."

Shepard listened to jacks father talk jack. Those words were like the ones she told Miranda, but these words sounded untrue or even unsure like the whole sentence should have ended in a question mark.

He stormed out of the room randomly after a while luckily missing Shepard on his way out.

Shepard soon after walked into the room and just like Miranda's it was bare with gifts.

"Hey jack." She whispered.

Jack looked paralyzed, "What are you doing here!? Who in the h…hell let you in?!"

Shepard pressed her lips together, "I told them I was Kelly…look I didn't come to uh…fight but in a better sense beat you up."

"Well why the hell did you come," she spat.

"To apologize, what I did was unjustifiable. I shouldn't have did what I did-"

"Look Shepard. I was a dick. I am a dick and this…it kinda humbles me. I'm not gonna say that I'm gonna stay humble forever, but if you want the truth…I was jealous. You and Miranda had something we didn't and at the beginning I didn't see it but now I really do. You guys love each other and it killed me. So I wanted to hurt her so she'll feel my pain."

"That's stupid. But…no it's just really stupid jack. You knew Miranda was already in pain from her father if you even gave it a little thought…if you showed her love she would've done the same."

Jack stayed silent.

"Now, I came to say sorry because I know what I did was terrible and I shouldn't have done this to you. But now…I realized that I'm in the wrong place. I should be with the woman I love. Miranda Yvonne Lawson." Shepard began to leave but stopped in her tracks right at the door. "Take care jack."
