LOCKWOOD: EPISODE 10

NOA POV ❤️

"You know you guys are in big trouble right?" Detective Walters said. I didn't know how to explain why we broke into the police station in the middle of the night, tampered with evidence and set off several alarms. If we did not look like suspects to Walters before, we certainly do now.

"It was my fault, I asked Noa to come with me, I felt if we came here and looked for evidence, we would find something, I'm sorry." Khalil said, was he trying to take the blame because I certainly didn't want that.

"Don't listen to him, it was mine." I said resolutely. 

"I don't care whose fault it was, you two are lucky I'm not calling your parents and putting you right on the suspect list and behind bars." He yelled and rubbed his head in an "These kids are such a headache way."

"Why aren't you putting us on the list right now then?" I said

"Because for some weird reason, I believe you two are innocent." he disclosed.

"Jones, take them home." he told one of the strong faced policemen.

"Thank you detective." Khalil said and the detective nodded. We walked away but I managed to hear him talking about some peanut oil and the murder weapon.

 

We were in the police car on our way home when suddenly I remembered what almost happened between Khalil and I, was he about to kiss me? That couldn't have been it right? I looked over at him to already see him looking at me. 

"What?" I said and suddenly he looked around awkwardly.

"Nothing, it's just that we're almost reaching mine." He rubbed his head.

"Oh." I said. I was dreading going home, it was already 2am and mum would be worried sick by now, I dread to know what dad would do. But I would face it, I was used to it by now. The car stopped and Khalil got down, an emotional part of me wanted to go with him but the rational part just said goodnight. I eventually got home, when I got down I thanked the police officer but he just nodded at me. I opened the door to see mum crying and dad fuming as usual, I wanted to just walk past them but dad's voice stopped me.

"Now where do you think you're going young lady, do you know how worried we were?" He yelled.

"Your mother has not stopped crying, why is it that the only thing you know how to give us is a fucking headache." He screamed.

"Henry, that's enough." Mum said 

"No mum, let him yell, I'm used to it, not like he's done any thing else but that since he returned." I said quite rudely. I know I had no right to be upset, I'm the one who kept them up anyway. Its just that I was fed up with everything, my dad, the weird emotions, the case. Just everything.

"Do you see how badly behaved she is?" My dad said. I was about to walk away when dad dragged me back and slapped me. 

"Henry!" Mum screamed and went to my side while I just held my face, which was turning red by now. 

"No te atrevas a alejarte de mí. le faltas el respeto mocoso ( Don't you dare walk away from me. You disrespectful brat.) He said.

I cried while glaring at him.

"You have been nothing but a disgrace and a fucking burden." He yelled.

"Henry, pls stop" mum cried.

"Do you know what I wish sometimes?" "Ojalá hubieras muerto tú la noche de ese accidente en lugar de tu pobre hermano, tal vez habría tenido algo de paz en mi vida. (I wish you had died the night of that accident instead of your poor brother, maybe I would have had some peace in my life.) If mum was angry before she looked downright insane when dad said that. 

I didn't know what happened then, all I remember was running out the door under the rain and crying my eyes out. Next thing I know I'm standing in front of Khalils door soaked from top to bottom.
