Here is the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it.
Finding out the Truth
General POV
Today at Rosewood high school the Rosewood police did locker and car cheeks. It was something that normally didn't happen in the school district since the schools in the district were normally safe. So far nothing bad had turned up until they checked Bella's locker and Deylia's car. Bella was standing next to her locker while the police searched and Deylia was standing outside her car while it was searched. After the drugs were found both girls were escorted to the principles office.
"Who is doing this to us?" Deylia asked
"When my mom found a bottle of pills in my bedroom I thought it was Ryan but he doesn't have my locker combination."
"He doesn't have my car keys either." Deylia said
"OMG, I know who did this to us." Bella said
"Who Bella?" Deylia said
"Tyler." Bella said
"No, my brother wouldn't do that to either of us." Deylia said
"Is there anyone else that has both my locker combination and a set of keys to your car?" Bella asked
"I don't want to believe it Bella but Tyler has been acting weird lately." Deylia said
It wasn't long before Melissa, Wren, Hanna, and Caleb had shown up the the school. Everyone was in a conference room so they could talk.
"Both girls are saying that the pills don't belong to either of them but until we find out who is responsible they are suspended." The Principal said
"What." Both Deylia and Bella said
"You girls can't be in school while the police investigate and try to figure out who is truly responsible for the pills." The Principal said
"What if we can tell you who we believe set us up?" Bella asked
"Then this other person would also be suspended until we can figure out the truth." The principal said
"So basically we would still be in trouble." Deylia said
"Yes, this school does not tolerate drug use of any kind and both of you had drugs in your possession." The principal said
"The person who we think is behind this is ..." Bella said but was interrupted
"No, we can't get him in trouble." Deylia said
"Are you going to tell me who he is or no?" The Principal asked
"No we can't. This person is really important to me, both of us actually so I'm sorry." Bella said
Once Bella got home she was questioned by two very angry parents.
"You better have a decent explanation of why drugs showed up in your locker today." Wren said
"I can't explain it but I can say I have nothing to do with it." Bella said
"Twice in less then a week a bottle of pills turned up in your possession so how can you say that they are not yours?" Melissa asked
"I haven't taken any drugs since summer." Bella said
"Bella, If you tell the truth we can help you." Wren said
"I am telling the truth so please believe me." Bella said
"How did the bottle of pills get in your bedroom and your locker?" Melissa asked
"Someone must have put them there to try and set me up." Bella said
"Who would do this to you Bella?" Wren asked
"My guess is Ryan was responsible for the pill bottle in my bedroom and either JT or Tyler are responsible for the pill bottle in my locker." Bella said
"What about Deylia? A bottle of pills showed up in her car." Melissa asked
"It's can't be her and Deylia isn't the only one to drive that car because she shares it with Tyler." Bella said
"We believe you Bella but you could get into some series trouble at school and if the school decides to get the police involved you can't lie about your history with drugs." Wren said
Deylia's parents were also very angry.
"How did a bottle of pills end up in your car Deylia?" Caleb said
"I don't know." Deylia said
"Did Bella give them to you?" Hanna asked
"No." Deylia said
"Don't lie to us about this Deylia. Having drugs on school property is a very series issue." Caleb said
"Someone else must have put them in my car." Deylia said
"Who Deylia?" Hanna asked
"JT was in my car last week so he could have put the pill bottle there or maybe Tyler put the pill bottle in the car while I was in Toronto with Branden." Deylia said
"Don't drag your brother into this Deylia." Caleb said
"I'm just saying it is a possibility that the pills are Tyler's since he does share the car with me." Deylia said
"Bella is a bad influence on both you and Tyler." Hanna said
"You can't forbid me from seeing my best friend." Deylia said
"Your mom and I will talk to Tyler when he gets home from school. Until then you are not to leave this house." Caleb said
Deylia listened to her parents wishes and stayed home for a little while. That didn't stop her from text messaging Branden and he picked her up after school.
"Do you want to go back to my house or is there somewhere else you want to go?" Branden asked
"I would love to go to the mall but if you don't want to then we don't have to." Deylia said
"I could just drop you off and pick you up later but then we don't get to spend time together." Branden said
Deylia and Branden then went to the mall together.
JT just dropped Tyler off at home.
"We need to talk to you now." Caleb said
"What is going on?" Tyler asked
"Are you taking drugs Tyler? The police found a bottle of pills in your sisters car and they also found a bottle in Bella's locker." Hanna said
"I can explain. I only took the drugs because they made me stronger so I could go back to sports faster." Tyler said
"So they are yours Tyler?" Caleb asked
"The bottle of pills in Deylia's car are mine but I didn't put the bottle of pills in Bella's locker." Tyler said
"Tyler, how did you get the pills?" Hanna asked
"Ryan has been getting them for me since Basketball season started." Tyler said
"Do you realize how much trouble you are going to be in? Deylia and Bella were both suspended today." Caleb asked
"I don't have to be in trouble if the school or the police don't find out they were mine." Tyler said
"Tyler, you can't let your sister and her best friend take the blame for something they didn't do." Hanna said
"Don't worry I planed to blame the entire thing on Ryan." Tyler said
"Just let your mom and I handle this. One wrong word to the principal or police will get you into some harsh legal troubles." Caleb said
"In case you don't know Branden was picking Deylia up when JT brought me home." Tyler said before leaving the room.
Tyler left so Hanna and Caleb could talk.
"What are we going to do about this Caleb?" Hanna asked
Are you talking about Deylia sneaking out or the situation with Tyler?" Caleb asked
"Both but I'm more worried about Tyler." Hanna said
"If Tyler admits to the principal that the pills are his then he is going to be kicked off both the basketball and baseball teams. If the police find out he will have to do community service at minimum. His chances of getting athletic scholarships will be gone and he may not even be able to get into college." Caleb said
"I'm worried about your job Caleb. If this gets into the papers you could loose your job Caleb. I remember when my dad almost lost his job because my friends and I did some stupid things as teenagers." Hanna said
"If they fire me over a headline that reads "Apple Ceo's teenage son gets busted for drugs at school" I will fight it because I did nothing wrong." Caleb said
Meanwhile Tyler took the car he shares with Deylia and was headed towards Bella's house. Tyler didn't even know if Bella would talk to him but he had to try. Once Tyler got to Bella's house he got out of the car and walked up to the door. Bella answered so Tyler was lucky that he didn't have to deal with either of her parents. Bella let Tyler into the house but she didn't seem to happy to see him.
"Why are you here right now Tyler?" Bella asked
"I heard what happened at school and I just wanted to make sure you were ok." Tyler said
"Thanks for your concern Tyler." Bella said
"Where are your parents?" Tyler asked
"Upstairs talking. My mom wants to send me to this boarding school in the UK but my dad doesn't think it's a good idea. They don't even care what I think about it." Bella said
"Do you want to go to boarding school or not?" Tyler asked
"No, I was in a private school for 6 years and that was hard enough. Plus I can't imagine being that far away from everyone including you." Bella said
"So you do still care about me." Tyler said
"Yes Tyler, Always have and I always will care about you." Bella said
"I'm always thinking about you Bella." Tyler said
"I know we are broken up but I'm glad we were each others firsts." Bella said
"Me to. I came over here to tell you that the bottle of pills found in Deylia's car are mine but I didn't put the bottle of pills in your locker." Tyler said
"I am just supposed to believe your word for it?" Bella asked
"I never meant for your or my sister to get in trouble." Tyler said
"I just don't understand why you would take drugs after you know what I went through?" Bella asked
"Bella, I took the pills so I could get back to sports faster. Ryan has been giving them to me and I think he may have put the other bottle of pills in your locker." Tyler said
"Ryan doesn't have my locker combination though. I have only told Deylia, JT, and You my locker combination." Bella said
"Bella, Do you still have your locker combination written on a sticky note that you stuck on the mirror in your bedroom?" Tyler asked
"Yes, Ryan must have gone in my room to plant one bottle of pills and then found my locker combination so he decided to plant another one in my locker." Bella said
"I don't know how you can stand to live with him." Tyler said
"If it were up to me my parents would still be together and living in the same country." Bella said
"Do you want to help me take down Ryan?" Tyler asked
"I want to but I'm trying to get out of trouble and not get myself more involved." Bella said
"I just want to make sure Ryan hasn't tried to hurt you again? The thought of him touching you in an inappropriate way like he did outside your car a few months ago makes me want to throw up." Tyler asked
"No Tyler, he hasn't done anything like that to me since that day." Bella lied
"You can be honest with me Bella if Ryan ever does anything wrong like that again." Tyler said
Tyler was about to leave.
"Tyler wait. I lied to you about Ryan" Bella said
"What did he do to you?" Tyler asked
"One day recently I got drunk and so was Ryan. We kind of hooked up." Bella said
"Did he force you?" Tyler asked
"Not that time but another time after that he did." Bella said
"I'm so sorry Bella. Have you told anyone besides me about this?" Tyler asked
"No, I don't even know why I told you." Bella asked
Bella and Tyler hugged for a few minutes. Bella was crying and Tyler even had a few tears in his eyes. Tyler left before Melissa and Wren noticed he was there.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter because I did. I will try to update more often.
