Trouble
Things with Harley haven't gotten any better, everyone round the house thinks we are some sort of cute couple that don't know were in love. Harley plays everything off as a joke but I hate it, I hate him. It's easier just to go along with it though anything else just ends up spurring him on. Today we are going into town, don't worry Johnny, Toby and Tee are coming with us too.
We walked around a few shops before going over to a cafe to get milkshakes, so far today had been a good day, I was sad that Jody couldn't come with us but she had some meeting with her social worker.
"Johnny, do you think we should get something to give to mum when we see her?" Tee asked her older brother.
"Tee we don't even know if we are going to be aloud to see her yet." He replied.
"Yeah but it's her birthday, if we do get to see her we can't turn up empty handed." She argued.
Johnny and Tee had asked Mike if they could see their mother next weekend because it was her birthday but Mike didn't even know if he would be able to find them let alone arrange anything with her.
Once we had finished our milkshakes, we split into two groups. Johnny had agreed to go and look for a present with Tee on the condition that they didn't spend to long looking because he still wanted to go into a few more shops. Then Me, Harley and Toby were going to go round together.
We had been in the comic book shop and a game store and now we were making are way across the shopping centre to a few clothes shops.
"I'm just going to the toilet, won't be long." Toby said before leaving us.
"Well that's much better." Harley mumbled.
"What is?" I asked.
"I wanted to treat you, even easier now he's gone. I got a lot of money through from my parents. Pick anything you want." He tells me.
"It's fine, I don't really need anything." I tell him.
"Look this would look well good on you." He says holding up a dress and then putting it in the basket.
I argued for a few seconds but he wasn't having it. Harley continued to add items to the basket, It was getting quiet full now. I wonder how much he got from his parents. Wait aren't his parents dead, I guess the must have left him some money in their will.
"You don't have to do this you know." I tell him feeling bad for how much stuff he had put in this basket for me.
"It's my treat, I know I've been a bit full on recently and I just want to apologise and spend some money on you, I got a lot from my parents." He tells me.
I managed to rescue a few things out of the basket that I knew I was never going to wear while Harley was busy looking through the rails. We are looking at a rail near the front of the shop when I feel Harley grab my hand and start running.
The machines in the front of the shop were going off as we ran through them alerting the staff to what had just happened.
"What are you doing Harley we haven't paid?" I questioned as we exited the shop.
"Run fast enough and we won't need to." He told me as he continued to pull me and run.
There were two security guards chasing after as we ran through the shopping centre, I ran and ran as fast as I could scared of getting caught even though I knew none of this was my fault. Suddenly Harley thrust the basket at me and instinct kicking in I grabbed the basket but it only made things worse.
"Drop the bag." A security guard shouted at me.
I looked around, the only way out was blocked by one security guard, another standing in front of me. I shoved the basket towards the officer not wanting anything to do with this situation. I turned round to see why no one was having a go at Harley like they were doing to me now but he was gone. How had he managed to just vanish? Surely he must have been trapped like me too?
"I am arresting you on suspicion of shop lifting, the CCTV will be evidence enough as it is." He said placing me in handcuffs and taking me through some back corridors of the shopping centre to a little office.
"So where is your boyfriend?" The officer asked me.
"Harley...he's not my boyfriend." I reply
"I don't care. Where is he?" He replies harshly.
"I don't know where he went."
"Well we will see what the cops think about that. You planned this together didn't you so there must have been an escape plan."
"No, I have no idea what is going on."
It wasn't long before the cops were here to pick me up, I was taken to the police station and had to give my name and address. I was placed in a dark cold holding cell, confusion etched all over my face. How had going on a nice shopping trip with my friends ended like this? Well I knew the answer to that question, the answer whenever I was in trouble. Harley.
