"Oh god, oh god, oh god" Dustin said as he nervously paced around the mall jail cell.
"Dustin calm down. All there going to do is have us call our parents. The worse that's going to happen is that your going to get yelled at and grounded" a boy said to him.
"Yea calm down" a girl chimed in.
"No no no. You guys don't understand. My dad isn't in town, he's in Japan right now" Dustin said "and the only other person I can call will kill me if they release me in their custody"
"Wait your dads out of town. That's so cool man" the boy said with a dopey smile "that's so cool man"
"No it's not. Personally I'd rather have him come pick me up. If my boyfriend finds out I smoked weed his going to strangle me" Dustin said pacing nervously.
"Boyfriend"'one of the girls asked with slight disappointment in her voice. Dustin froze for a second realizing he let it slip out.
"Ummm ye...yea" he stuttered.
Just then a guard called him over and took him out of the cell. He handed Dustin the phone. Dustin dialed his house phone dreading every number he had to press.
"Hello" Dustin heard Cody's voice answer through the phone.
"Umm hey babe" Dustin said nervously.
"Dustin? Where have you been. I've been worried sick. Do you know what time it is" Cody said.
"Yes I know. It's just...I got into a little bit of trouble and well...I need you to come pick me up from the mall jail" Dustin all but whispered into the receiver.
"YOUR IN JAIL" Cody screamed through the receiver.
"Sorta" Dustin replied.
"Hold on I'm coming right now" Cody said angrily into the phone before hanging up.
Cody went strait to the security office when he arrived at the mall.
"Hello young man can I help you" the officer said as he approached the desk.
"Yes I'm here to pick up a boy who came in earlier. His name is Dustin" Cody told the officer.
"I'm sorry son but I can only release him to a parent or guardian"
"I am his current guardian. His father is in Japan at the moment"Cody said. The guard looked at Cody and sighed.
"I'm going to release him to you but if I ever catch him smoking weed in my mall again he's banned"
"Catch him smoking what"Cody said his jaw dropping.
"Weed. Caught him with it right in his hands. Some of his friends were high as kites as well" the officer said.
...
Dustin trailed behind Cody as they entered the apartment. It had been a silent ride home and Cody barely glanced in Dustin's direction. He knew Cody was furious, after Zack's overdose fiasco Cody's was very clear on his policy when it came to drugs. Dustin stood in the doorway as Cody fell onto the couch. He closed his eyes and leaned his head back, his hands folded in his lap.
"Cody" Dustin said in small meek voice barely heard by Cody. Cody didn't even move.
"What" he replied with an annoyed sigh.
"Can...can we talk" Dustin said almost cowering.
"There's nothing to talk about Dustin" Cody said.
"Then yell at me, punish me, do something, anything" Dustin pleaded. Cody gave a small laugh.
"I'm your fiancée, not your parent Dustin. I'm beyond the point of yelling and punishing you seems silly with our relationship."
Cody said still not moving.
"So, we're still engaged" Dustin squeaked.
"Yes Dustin. I didn't stop loving you just because I'm mad at you. It's natural for one of us to piss the other off once in awhile. I just...I just don't understand why it had to be drugs. Of all things Dustin why drugs." Cody asked not really wanting an answer.
"I'm sorry Cody. They were asking me to do it and I..." Dustin didn't know why but he started to cry "and I didn't want to. I didn't even smoke any. The guard came right as they handed it to me"
Cody gave another deep sigh and stood up. He went over to Dustin and hugged him tightly putting his head on top of Dustin's.
"Don't scare me like that. If you ever ended up in the hospital or worse I don't know what I'd do. You had me so scared when you told me you were in jail."'Cody said squeezing the boy. "I'm not going to stop you but I'd really like it if you didn't hang out with those guys anymore. At least not outside of school"
"Ok"'Dustin replied simply as he clutched Cody's shirt.
"I made dinner. Do you want some"
All Dustin could do was nod.
