Can't Hate You

Panic

Elijah

I was sitting in a weird room at the police station almost about to fall asleep..

They told me to stand up and take my jacket off. A few SWAT officers were standing in front of me with guns. They were acting like I was the most dangerous guy on earth or something.. I mean I was pretty powerful since I had teams in NYC, Washington, Jersey, Canada and other places but they didn't need to exaggerate like that. It's not like they knew everything about me.

I took my jacket off while they kept watching me and I was asking myself what they were looking for..

When something fell out of my pocket right onto the ground they aimed at me with their guns. I lifted my hands totally shocked.. the red dots on my chest made me a little nervous.

Melissa would've fainted if she would've seen what I was going through. Luckily she wasn't there. She needed to be safe. I knew the boys were going to take care of her because Kingston ran away.. and I was afraid that he was on his way to her.

"What is this?" officer Garcia asked me with furrowed eyebrows.. I knew his name.. and him. I knew a lots of names.

So I looked down and.. it was a little plastic bag.. of cocaine... I looked at it eyes widened. What the f**k was it doing in my pocket?

"Are you panicking?"

"I swear to god it's not mine!"

Usually I wasn't panicking and I knew that was exactly what someone who was guilty would say but I couldn't understand it..

He laughed.

I was f****d.

Melissa

I was almost sleeping when my phone started to ring.. It was eleven pm. I answered the call without looking at the display and heard an exhausted voice. It was Josh.

"Melissa.. sorry for bothering you.. where are you?“ he asked and I rubbed my eyes. We didn't talk since I left Elijah. It was awkward but I thought that he wanted Josh to ask me. »Still at Charlie's house.. why?“ I said and sat up.

I could hear how he took a deep breath. “Elijah loves you. Never forget that.“

I was confused but that made me chuckle.

"Why couldn't he say it or send me a message and why are you talking like he died or something?“ I asked and he didn't answered me. My stomach dropped and I got nervous..

"Josh?"

My hands started shaking because I knew something was wrong.

”You may won't see him for a long time..“ he finally answered and my heart stopped. I rushed downstairs as fast as I could so I could scream because Charlie was sleeping next to me. I didn't want to wake her up but I couldn't care about that in the moment.

“WHAT? WHAT HAPPENED?“

“I'm sorry but we'll try to get him out!“

I ran my hand through my hair. Was he kidding? Why was he talking like that? He needed to tell me what happened without making it hard for me to understand. "OUT OF WHAT?“ I asked but he hung up.

I was so mad, so angry, so confused and scared I put my shoes on and ran to my car without putting a jacket on. It was cold as f**k and I almost froze on the way with my shorts and my tank top..

When I arrived at Josh's house I was more than pissed. I was going to destroy everything until he would tell me what happened.

I walked in after someone opened the door.

“WHERE IS HE?“ I screamed breathing heavily. The whole crew was standing in front of me and they were looking at me like they were guilty or ashamed..

Josh scratched his neck. My chin was shaking and I knew I would explode and cry. Why did they have to scare me like that? Why couldn't they just tell me what happened? They probably weren'T allowed to tell me but thinking of him being dead or something.. killed me..

"WHERE IS HE?" I screamed again but louder than earlier.

"Calm down please.. we were ready for something like that. He already told us what to do in situations like these.." he answered slowly and I felt a tear rolling down my face.

Ready for what.. what were they ready for?

“STOP TALKING LIKE A PUZZLE THAT I NEED TO SOLVE!“ I screamed and took a deep breath.

“I don't care, I just want to know where he is.“ I continued not screaming. I was so close to have a mental breakdown. They couldn't just call me and make me freak out in the middle of the night and hide it from me like that. Especially not after I saw him for the last time like that..

“They caught him.“ Jason said crossing his arms in front of his chest and I was thankful that one of them finally spoke..

My heart stopped beating. “What do you mean they..“ my voice cracked and almost disappeared.. it wasn't only one tear that was rolling down my cheeks..

"But he should get out very fast. He knows what to do!“ Josh said trying to comfort me.

James came in running very confused and shocked.

“Guys.. they found a bag of cocaine in his jacket...“ he said and our jaws dropped. We looked at him eyes widened and I almost lost it.. they did what? I started breathing faster. I thought I was getting a heart attack..

"Josh you're going to tell me where you've been and what you've done immediately!" I said pointing at him. I could feel that it had something to do with Kingston.. of course it had something to do with him.. why didn't he tell me that he would confront him? I could've helped or warned him.

“I'm sure that it doesn't have anything to do with him!“ he still tried to comfort me. I took a deep breath and screamed “OF COURSE IT DOESN'T!“.

Surprisingly they finally began to tell me everything and after I listened I didn't waste a second and rushed to my car. I drove to the police station not caring that they wanted to stop me.

Elijah

I had to take all my clothes off. They checked out every little inch of my body... and.. 'in' my body. That was so disgusting but it wasn't the first time it happened to me. Besides that, I got problems because of the alcohol in my blood..

Luckily I was allowed to put my clothes on again and sit down.

The officer sat down across from me. He threw the little plastic bag onto the table in front of me. “Who does this belong to?“ he asked furrowing his eyebrows. His black mustache and short hair.. both so clean.. he had a lot of time for himself. This was going to be easier than I thought...

I rolled my eyes. “I told you it isn't mine.“ I repeated myself and he laughed again..

Why was everyone laughing? What the hell was wrong with these.

“Come on! Make another test! I've never done drugs in my entire life!“

I didn't need to lie about something like this and not believing me was his own loss.

“Check the finger prints.“ I added totally calm. It couldn't be so hard to prove it. He furrowed his eyebrows even more and I thought he would be too stubborn but then he stood up and I took a deep breath.

They took my fingerprints and came back after ten minutes.

“It's not yours.“ he said like he hated to admit it. He wanted me to be guilty.. he knew that I wasn't a clean guy.. I closed my eyes.

“Told you.“ I said after I opened my eyes again. I wasn't sure for how long I was going to stay there but I was already getting inpatient and uncomfortable because I knew he wouldn't let me go so easily..

Melissa

I arrived and didn't care about the cold that hit me as soon as I got out of my car. I didn't care about the clothes that I was wearing or that I was going to enter a building filled with guilty, weird ass people.. I just stormed in and asked for him. They told me where he was and what he has done...

After I went trough different blocks and pushed myself through arguing people I found him.

I could see him trough a window... he was sitting in a small room..

He was sitting on a chair with his hands on the table... very pissed and mad... I could recognize his clenched jaw even from the distance.

I swiped my tears away. Seeing him in there was breaking my heart. He didn't belong in there. I was so afraid of this day but I never thought it would come.

His jaw dropped when he lifted his head and his eyes met mine..

Elijah

Why was she there where I was? Why was she here between all these people? She didn't belong here. She didn't belong to this cold place with these dangerous criminals..

She was crying. I could see the shining tears on her cheeks.. I was going to kill Josh for that.

She was standing there so sadly.. in her pjs.. without a jacket.. I bet she was cold.. I wanted to hug her and warm her up.. I wanted to give her my jacket and bring her away from that place.

I smiled to comfort her and show her that I was okay.

Melissa

I smiled back and waved at him. I blew a kiss at him and he blew one back. He always managed to make me smile no matter how bad the situation was.

I backed off and let myself fall into one of the chairs on the wall.

I prayed that he would get out and that he would be fine.. The fact that he was sitting in there was driving me crazy. He didn't deserve it. Good he might has done bad things but he couldn't sit in there for something that he didn't do.

They held him in there for hours..

Elijah

They asked me a lot of things even tho they've already heard everything they wanted to hear.

“What were you doing there?“

“I was fighting.“

“With who?“

“Never seen guys fighting at a Strip Club?“ I raised my eyebrow.

“Where were the guys? You were alone.“

“They escaped.“

“So you were fighting against a lot of people alone?“

Of course I was never going to tell him about my crew. I never got caught that means they didn't knew anything about me. I still had my chances.

"Yes."

"About what?"

"A girl."

Melissa

I yawned and woke up from a noise. The door of the room he was in opened and what I saw almost made me faint...

They were grabbing him by his arms while he was handcuffed...

His eyes were red.. my heart started bleeding and anxiety was in charge. I started panicking and my heart started racing.. I never thought I was going to see him like that.

"Moon?"

My voice cracked.

"Don't worry Sun.."

They let him walk towards me. He kissed my forehead and then I had to watch him leave...
