I was brought up in a place in London called Aldgate. Moved twenty five times before I was 13 and at least 32 times before I turned 16. I thought we were happy. That is was different this time. That we were settled in. Until that night. Th,that stupid night! It was an average Saturday night. I heard the phone go so I picked it up. Down the phone. Could hear a woman's voice shouting. "Uh, hello is this Scarlett Wood?"
"Uh, yeah who is this?"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP SIR!" The woman shouted.
"Ma'am please calm down." He said in a calm manor.
"No I will not-" she said before she got interrupted.
There was a struggling scream that came from her.
"We're gonna need you to come down to the station." He said.
"Why, have I don't something wrong?" I said very confusingly.
"Uh,no it's-"
"SHUT UP!" Shouted the woman even louder.
I heard someone punch another.
"Argh!" The man shouted.
The phone call ended. I was so confused. Before I could even think, I grabbed my coat and the keys and drove as fast as I could in my blue Rover to the station. The constant red and blue lights were blinding my lights. I got out my car, locked the door shut and ran inside. As soon as I got there, there was my Mum sat there in handcuffs and next to her was an officer with s black eye and an icepack.
"Miss, we're gonna need you to come with us." An officer said behind me.
