I slept in longer than usual. It's currently ten in the morning. Both me and Shawn are not feeling so well, he called in to stay home. Lily is the only one to be fine. She is sleeping fine next to my chest, but I had to get up for some aspirin. My head is killing me, and aspirin will only do so much.
Shawn is laying on the couch, staring at the television. I stick two aspirins into my mouth to water them down. Getting those down, I walk towards the bedroom to get clothes for after showering.
Today, I wore a yellow cloth t-shirt, but I decided to not wear leggings today. Shawn is on the sofa, laying on his right side. Stepping towards him, I crawl up to lay in front of him.
"Is your morning rough too?" I lay to make sure my back plate lays on his side, I don't mind if my chest plate hits the sofa doing so. He shifts his left hand to cover my waist. His hand covers my entire waist, that's how thin I am compared to him.
Lily got up after we watched the television for half an hour. She was quiet and jump up to land us.
She looks at us with her hands up. "Hi!"
"Hey there cutie!" There wasn't a lot of room left, but she was able to snuggle against me. We stay laying there and continued to watch some morning shows. Mornings here are really boring.
Today is going to be a moderate fifty five degrees. Lily is sitting up against my stomach, below my chest plate. Shawn is rubbing her head; she looks like she is enjoying it. But something made me feel uneasy. I got up from the couch, causing Lily to crawl over my gown. I look outside the kitchen window to see one police cruiser slowing down by the street next to our fence. I hear a few squeaks of metal, then I hear humming next to the wall by the kitchen stove. They definitely stopped in our driveway.
I didn't know whether to be worried or not. "Uh, Shawn, there is policemen driving up in our driveway."
"What?" He picks up Lily and rushes to the window. He didn't see them, but he could hear a car.
"They're in the driveway." Greg popped up in my head. "Shawn, do you think Greg has something to do with this?"
He grunts angrily. He sets Lily on the floor, who walks towards me and grabs my gown. Two door shutting sounds emitted. It didn't take long until we see the two walk up to our front door. Shawn involuntarily opens the door.
Both were a bit big in mass. The one on the right confronts Shawn. "Hello sir." He turned his head to me. "And how are you doing ma'am?"
I nod my head. I know, deep down, that this has something to do with Greg.
"That's nice to hear." He returned his viewpoint to my owner. "So, you're Shawn?"
"Yeah, that's me." He spit out without hesitation.
"Alright. Can we ask you to step outside for a moment?"
Shawn looks at me, and I look back to him. He proceeded to walk out the door. Turning around, I hear the door close.
"Oh no." I grab the sides of my head with my hands. "Oh no, no, no!" I look down to see Lily looking up to me.
"Maize?" She has her mouth open, one ear is lopsided. "Hey?"
"It's okay, I'm perfectly fine Lily." Though really, I am not.
"Shawn, hmm?"
"Don't worry about." Lily again grabs onto my gown.
I didn't know if they were going to hurt Shawn. I don't want him hurt. Lily and I stand there, confused on what to do. A thousand thoughts filled my head, and it bothered me. Suddenly, I involuntarily clench my fists. I run to the door, causing Lily to let go of me.
Opening the door, I rush towards the driveway. Shawn is being handcuffed by the other police man. Eyes widening, I run towards the cop.
"Stop, please, stop! Don't do this to him!"
He finishes handcuffing him. The man turns around.
"Ma'am, we have to do what the law says to do." He is smiling. What, did he like shoving this in my face? A clicking sound emits behind me. I perk my head up, and force my body to run left. Turning around, I see the other police man with an unusual Poke Ball. This one however had a blue top and a white with black strips bottom.
I had enough of this. I placed my hands forming a sphere. I focused myself quickly, to try and form some type of force against him. I hear a click again. Angrily, I let out all of my focus and launched what seemed to be a spherical ball of energy.
"Oh shit!" He squeezed out, before getting impact from what I created. He got up and brushed himself, grunting as he did. He placed his hands on his chest, which actually is is radio. "Yeah, we need backup."
To my right, I see the other rushing in towards the driver seat of the cruiser. He accelerated his vehicle and turned right. Oh no, he is not leaving without me.
The last words I hear from the hurt policeman is him calling for cruiser 113, which is this cruiser. I ran towards the vehicles, but it was slower getting farther from me. I pushed myself harder, and harder, until I couldn't go any quicker, but to no avail. The car was gaining distance, but I got the urge to turn towards a neighbor's fence on the right side of the road. I jump on top of it, and with accuracy, jumped towards the other road where the cruiser has turned in to drive. I landed on the sirens of his car. The sudden change of velocity jerked me leftward. I quickly grabbed the small spoiler on the trunk with extreme force. I slowly try to turn around on my side to get closer to the hood of the cruiser. At this point, the acceleration is increasing.
As I get to the roof of the car, I hear a shout from my left side.
"Hey, you're just making it easier for you to be captured!"
Ignoring, I continued to make my way to the front. I finally make it to the hood, and going at what seemed to be eighty kilometers per hour, the cop slams his brakes, cause me to fling forward and land on my back. I was seething. Still stopped, I got up and focused again. I see his face widened, a muffled word comes out, and he stepped into reverse gear. I wanted to give him some payback.
But I stopped, and my anger extinguished. I can't hurt the cruiser, it will hurt Shawn. The cruiser turns around, turns right at the intersection, and disappears behind the houses. I fall on my knees in the middle of the road, and look at the asphalt. "Is this what has become of me?" My back hurt because of scrapes, but it didn't hurt as much as me knowing Shawn is going to be gone for a long while. I then remembered, I left Lily behind!
I got up, and ran back to my home. I wasn't too far, but it was a chore running back. Getting back home after what seemed to be a good ten minutes, I shove open the door. Panting, I spit out, "Lily, where are you!" I ran to my bedroom, I checked the bathroom, I went downstairs, checking every little nook and cranny of my home. She wasn't anywhere.
I let out a faint squeak, and let out a scream. I rush upstairs, and threw one of our diner table chairs at the wall of the kitchen. I let out one more scream, before balling up on the floor and grieving away.
"He's gone, She's gone!"
I stayed on the floor for quite some time. There is a tiny water puddle on the ground. I got up and wiped my eyes. My hands got streaks of black. I left the house and set my destination at Shawn's parents.
It is still early in the morning, only twelve thirty noon. Anyone I walked by on the streets stared my direction. It didn't matter to me, I was screaming internally at the policemen.
Arriving at the front door of his parent's front door, I ring the doorbell.
"Come on, come on, hurry up." I knocked on the door.
Finally, I hear some rustling on the door. The door opened, revealing Rachel holding the door.
"Oh hi there Maize!" She is smiling at me. But then she looked at me confused. "You alright? You look terrible."
I didn't hesitate. "Shawn got arrested."
Her expression changed to a worried look. "What? What for?"
"I think I have an idea, but right now isn't the time to explain. I don't know what to do." I walked in and set myself on the sofa.
Rachel came over to me. "I understand you. I don't know what I could do either. But sitting here won't do anything."
"But doing something won't help either." My eyes filled with water again.
"Maize, don't upset yourself just yet. They can't throw him into jail until they get some information out of you."
I thought about it. Maybe I should have let the police man capture me. But now is too late. Rachel turned around and picked up the home phone and started dialing. She's dialing Lucas, during his work time.
"Lucas dear, Maize, Shawn's Pokemon, came over to our house and told us that he has been arrested." There was a brief silence. "See, this is why I called you, could you maybe tell your boss that you have an emergency at home?" Another pause. "Okay, just get here if you can."
*I am so sorry to give you such a short chapter, but I'm posting this to show that this isn't dead yet. My current semester has been really tough on me. I'll try and get the story rolling more.
