Drink

Part one

'There was alcohol at this party?' The cop asked for 5th time.'Yes.' I kept my voice steady even though I wanted to cry for my mother. It was too much.

'We understand that you're scared but you are aware of the consequences of minority drinking?' He shoots me a look, what does he expect me to say?that no we were just drinking grape juice?

I sigh 'Yes, but you don't understand, she's missing!' . 'Most of the time it's just them playing around, I'm sure she will come back but in the meantime can you make a list of all the minority's that were at the party?'

This is when I feel the tears start to come, hot and burning my eyes. 'You don't get it! It's been a week since the party!' I sigh a hand going through my hair.

It's become dreadlocks as I haven't showered since last Friday. I was too preoccupied creating my own missing posters and asking around.

'Some of these teenage escapades can last for months' the cop tries to explain. 'I understand, but she's my sister!' I want to scream, 'she would of told me something not just disappear like this!'

I keep going 'she's a strait A and B student, blond pixie cut, has a perfect life, the perfect boyfriend, is nice, we were best friends, she has grey eyes...'

I pause to take a breath 'you don't understand she wouldn't just do something like this!'

Now I'm crying, giant drops running down my cheeks, I haven't been putting on makeup ever since last Friday so nothing smears.

'She, she worked so hard for this. She would' I hiccup 'she would never just throw it away for some teenage escapade' I stop and glare at the cop.

'Ask anyone who knew her! They know she'd never do this too.' I wipe at my eyes viciously 'please' my voice is barely a whisper, and I hate the weakness that shows through.

The cop stares me down 'okay, we'll make a missing poster' he sighs rubbing his face.

'Thank you.' I sigh in relief , I know it doesn't mean she's safe, or even, alive. But it's a step closer.

The cop looks up gruffly 'but you are aware I'm going to still have to arrest you for underage drinking.'
