Daddy Why D'you Do It
Chapter 18
Liam's POV
"I-I, um," I stuterred.
The cop raised an eyebrow, "Liscense, sir?"
"Well, um, you see, I just got my liscense like, last month, and I-I don't really remember to bring it everywhere," I lied.
"Oh, well, do you think you could call someone at home who might be able to bring it?" The cop asked, "I mean, normally a police officer shouldn't do this, but I know it's hard to remember your liscense, especially when you first got it."
I smiled, "Thank you, sir. But, unfortunately, no one's home."
"Well, I guess I could let you off the hook. Just this once."
"T-thank you, sir," I said gratefully.
He smiled at me, "But do you think that I could have you're name so I know next time that I can't let you off the hook?"
"Oh, Liam Duke."
The cop started writing it down, but then he suddenly looked at me, "A-are you George Duke's son?"
I nodded.
Suddenly the cop looked mad, "Well, you see, he was talking to me about how his only son was turning 16 soon, and getting his liscense."
Uh-oh
"I-I," I couldn't think of anything to say.
"Listen kid, we have a problem."
Scarlet's POV
Mike and I ran through the rain.
"Why did we haded to go?" Mike asked for the hundredth time.
I looked at him, "Mike, we have to. Please, I'll explain later."
He sighed.
I finally saw it.
Jake Mulk's house.
Jake Mulk's family was rich and so he had a second home that was all his.
The thing was, he rented out rooms there to the kids at our school.
A lot of kids stayed there apparently.
I rang the doorbell and Jake answered it.
He had light brown hair and blue eyes that made a million girls faint.
It was pathetic.
"I need a room," I said firmly, holding Mike's hand.
Jake looked between Mike and me and said, "C'mon in."
I saw a couple of kids my age sitting on the couch in the living room.
Jake just stood in the entry hall and said, "Why do you need a room?"
"My dad's girlfriend is a... well you know," I said bitterly, looking down at a nodding Mike.
He smiled at me, "So you ran away?"
I nodded impatiently, "Yes. Now can I have a room or not?"
"Sure, I'm Jake, by the way."
"Scarlet, and this is Mike."
Jake smiled at Mike.
"How much is the rent?" I asked.
"Fify bucks a week."
I nodded. I had been saving my money since I was twelve, so I was sure I had enough.
He held out his hand, "Welcome to your new home."
I liked the sound of that.
I looked at Mike who was grinning.
I smiled and shook Jake's hand.
