Good Girl In A Storm

Chapter One

"I said I didn't do it!" Alex yelled at the cops.
"I was with my friends this whole night! Just because-" the cop cut him off.
"Anything you say can and will be held against you."
Alex was caught on a shooting scene. He had the gun in his hand. But, he was trying to shoot the guy who shot the others. No one else. That's when I stepped up.
"Officers, Alex isn't guilty of anything. He had been with us the whole night. He has never committed any sort of crime." That was partially a lie. We once stole money from a kids lemonade stand. But it was for a good cause. We were trying to get enough money to by mother's medication for her heart disease.
"I'm sorry little lady, but we have to take him in." With that, they all got into the car and drove off.
Our other friends Jason and Caterina were sitting on the side of the building drinking coke and eating Lays. Jason and Caterina are like siblings. They grew up together. They've lived next to each other since childhood. They're both pretty nice. Jason's then musican of the group, he writes songs, plays piano and guitar, but he also keeps to himself. Caterina on the other hand, is the innocent one. She has never done anything bad in her life. Plus she has amazing grades. Then there's Alex and I. Alex is, different. He's been in and out of foster homes since he was seven. But luckily, Jason's Dad Richard adopted him. Alex is adverse. He is kind of a bad ass though. He has a motorcycle and wears leather jackets all the time. It's kinda hot. Then there's me. I keep to myself like Jason does. But, I write. A lot. It's not "Dear Diary, today I found out that I made cheer team" junk. It's real, good stuff. Stories. I started writing to let my emotions out, my doctor suggested it to help my depression. Did it work? Nope. But I starts writting poems and stories because of it, so maybe.
"How is he?" Caterina asked taking yet another sip of coke.
"That shit will kill you." I said.
"This shit keeps me sane." She joked.
"Alex is being taken to the station. Who knows how long he'll be there."
"I told him to just let it be." Jason said.
"Yeah but, when does Alex ever listen to anyone?" It was true. Alex didn't really listen to people. I guess that's okay though. Who does?
