We Didn't Start The Fire 《Chapter 3》

I walk outside with two police cars pulled up. The flashing red and blue lights cause people to walk out, a man in a police suit and sunglasses comes up to me.

He looks like he's in his fourties. I try to find my words and stay as calm as I can. Even though I didn't do anything, I feel really worried.

"Hello officer, is there a problem?" I ask, "I don't know are you the girl who was reported for theft of a valuable and expensive item?" He asks with a serious tone.

"Well, not exactly." "I'm sorry are you trying to tell me this woman lied?" He asks pointing to the girl who called them.

"Well, I mean not exactly. You see officer she saw my necklace and well... somehow thought it was hers. But as you may know I've had it for two years. My mother gave it to me a long tine ago. I guess she thought that it was hers. She had to have been mistaken, I'd never steal an item of, anyone. I'm not a theif, just please." I say.

He exhales, "alright, I'm going to take you two down to my office let's go." He says, I give Zach a pleeding look and he follows behind getting in his car.



I sit in the seat and the girl sits in the other. Her long shiny black hair down to her butt. Her black skin flawless with her make up, and she has on black jeans, white sneaks, a gray tight crop top, and pink bomber.

Her large silver hoop earings hang from her small ears and she jerks her head to me. "Why are you staring, did I say, 'oh look at me.' No booch, so don't look at me." She snaps.

I buldge my eyes and let out a blow of air and wait for the officer to come back. The door opens and he closes the door, then sits down and scoots his chair in.

"Okay, so I did some research and made some calls, as I see it Mrs. Droadlinn, you've never had any jewellery of that kind. That's what your mother told me." The officer tells the girl next to me.

"Are you kidding, this is stupid my mom knows nothing." She says, "mrs, I'm going to need you to give Mrs.Coltberry her necklace back and leave. Thank you." She scoffs and clicks ger toungue.

With the necklace now in my hand she leaves the room and I look at the officer. "Thank you." I say, he nods and I get up retrieving my bag. Then walk out the office and embrace Zach.

He leans down and kisses me, then pulls away. He puts a small section of my hair and puts it behind my ear. "I love you. My Jem!" He says, he holds my hand as we get in his car driving back to the campus.

He opens the door for me and I sit on the seat as he closes it running to his door and getting in. He sits down and buckles up, then smiles at me.

He leans in and kisses me, it's warm and soft. He places his hands on my cheecks still kissing me. It gets hot and he pulls away, then rubs circles on my cheecks with his thumbs.

He's about to kiss me again but my phone rings and I look at who is calling.
The contact name reads.
Private Number.

Zach leans in and sees, quickly he snatches the phone and answers.

"Hello who is this?" He rushes to hit speaker and the person speakes. "Hi, is this Torri Gant?" "No, it's her boyfriend." He lies.

I start to laugh and he hands the phone to me. "Hello?" I question, "hey Torri? This is um, Frank. Look I'm sorry that I walked out on you four months ago. It was just so much to handle knowing you were pregnant and I was the dad. I mean for goodness sake I was the dad. Were both only sixteen and it was too much. But the past few days I realized that,... you mean alot to me." Me and Zach at eachother.

"Umm, look dont kill us when we tell you. But you were a random number and thought we'd have fun so, yah." I say feeling bad.

"So this isn't Torri?" I shake my head remembering he can't see me through the phone so I say it aloud. "Oh, okay. Well do you know her?" He asks, we say no and then he sighs.

"K, bye." He hangs up and guilt falls to the pit of my stomach. "Well, now that we've pratically invaded someone's privacy." He says putting his hand on the wheel.

He starts the car and we begin to drive off with the windows down. "Gosh, I wish we were in high school. We can't even go out alot, we have college work." I say in a whiney voice.

"I know, and I can't see you every day. We have to make every day count. And since we are in college I wanna drink but I can't." He shakes his head as his eyes stay on the road.

"So, you just gonna drop me off and go to your college?" I ask, he nods. "Unfortunately I have to handle some things. But Friday we can do something." He says, I nod sad it's so far from today but least I can see him.



I lay in my bed and roll over on my side. Resting my head on my pillow, the darkness surrounds me in the room and I try to focus my vision so I can see things.

I feel sad and lonley, and that I have noone to go to or rely on. I have Zach but he is so far, and it's not like I can see him everday.

I don't wanna be needy but I am. I get out of bed and throw on a a shirt and some jeans. I slip on flats and leave the dorm with my purse walking to my car to go visit Zach.



I knock on Zach's dorm room door and a few minutes later it opens. He stands there in a blue t shirt, blue and white checkered pajama pants, and messy hair.

He looks at me groggily, and I smile. "Hey, what are you doing here, it's eleven at night." I sigh, "yah I know but I was feeling lonley and homesick. Then I started thinking about how we always hung out and I just..."

My voice trails off as tears roll down my cheeks. He lets me in and then I sit on a small chair. "I'm sorry I just can't do it." He smiles, "it's okay." He scoops me up and puts me on the large couch and sits next to me.

He snakes his arm around my neck and I put my knees up to my chest resting my head on his shoulder. He drops his arm to midway of my arm. Then leans down and kisses me.

"You can just lay in my bed and I can lay on the couch. I nod and take off my shoes and put my hair up. I leave my sports brawl on and take off my pants, my shirt goes below my butt by three inches so it's fine.

I pull the cover off and get under the covers and lay there. He turns the lights off and lays on the couch, I look at him as he adjusts himself.

I close my eyes and slowley fall asleep.
