How Do You Sleep? (A John Lennon Fanfic)

Gimme Some Truth

"Scott got arrested? For what?" Dad asked.

"H-He sold drugs illegally.." I softly said, not believing my own words.

Dad's eyes widened, "What?" He whispered.

I looked up at dad, "What am I going to do if 'e goes to jail? I-I didn't know 'e was doing that!" I said as I started to panic.

How is Emily going to grow up with her father in jail? She'll turn out like me if I'm not careful! 

Dad gently touched my shoulders, "Don't worry about it, Jules. I've got it." He said, going downstairs.

"Dad? Where are you going?" I asked loudly.

Dad looked at me as he opened the front door. "We're getting Scott, come on." He said.

I turned around and looked at Sydney and Steven.

"I'm sorry this outing turned out like this.." I said.

"I'm going with my father, would ya mind watching Emily?" I carefully asked.

Steven opened his mouth, "N-"

Sydney whacked Steven's chest, "We can look after Emily, Julia. Go on, get Scott!" Sydney smiled, taking Emily from me.

I smiled, "Thank ya, thank ya!" I said as I rushed down the stairs.

Dad and I quickly walked down the porch as we got into the car.

"Oh god... Why the 'ell would Scott do this?" I softly asked myself, looking outside as dad sped to the police station.

I grabbed onto my seat tightly. Dad was never the best driver. He was fast, and it was always a clumsy ride.. But it's a ride. 

"Don't worry about it, Jules. I've got it covers. Please." Dad looked at me.

"Keep calm." He said.

I sighed, slouching in my seat.

"I just need my questions answered." I mumbled, crossing my arms.

"And you will, Julia. I promise you." Dad said.

I sighed. I hope so. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dad parked in the parking lot. We quickly got out of the car as we rushed inside.

"I can't run, dad." I said, walking up to my dad at the door.

"Right, right.." He sighed, opening the door for me.

I let out a small smile, "Thank ya."

Dad and I walk towards the officer at the front desk.

" 'Ello, we're looking for Scott Whisl-"

"Julia!" I heard my name called.

I gasped, turning around.

"Scott!" I rushed towards him.

"What are they gonna do to ya?" I asked.

Scott shrugged, "I'm going to be trialed, love.." He sighed, holding onto me.

I kissed his cheek, "Please don't go. Emily needs you... I need you.." I sadly said.

Scott frowned, "I know, love. I'm trying everything."

Scott and I turned to my father, who was talking to the officer.

"How much will it be to bail the kid out?" My dad asked.

"About f- Are you John Lennon?" The officer asked, his eyes widened.

Scott and I got up, walking closer to my dad.
