Quinn: A fake gun

A fake gun. A mother fucking fake gun got them into Jail. So much for a free country without racism. If she was a white person, this would have never happened but fuck the police. It was like 9pm and they were speeding like everyone else on this street. But only she was pulled over. Quinn was on their way to her BFFs house to cry over their ex who she had just broken up with.

He cheated on them with his ex, the girl he said she didn't have to worry about. She was crying, rightfully so. They were on their way to tell him she was pregnant with his child. But Fuck that. She knocked on his house door and his parents let them in. They said they hadn't seen her come in. She walked to his room and heard moaning coming from the room. They were enraged, they broke the door down and she saw him and her in their underwear kissing each other. They screamed:

"Were over!"

And with tears she left the room running past his mom, who worryingly rushed behind them. They got to their car. She couldn't even open it. She just fell on top of the car, tears flooding their face. His mom caught up to them and hugged her, she had seen everything and told me:

"I saw everything Quinn and I am so sorry for the behavior of our son, it's utterly disgusting and I am ashamed to call him my son."

Quinn hugged her even tighter

"I'm pregnant"

The tears came in even harder. And she just stood there hugging Quinn. She then asked them:

"Do you want me to drive you home or anything else"

"No, I'm good Alexa"

She then hugged her once again and said bye and hopped into their car. She immediately called Anna her best friend telling her:

"I'm coming over"

"Fine, I'll open up my window."

And with that they drove off, down the road to the highway. Her eyes become puffy. They were trying their hardest to block off the tears from pouring down her face, burning with every move. She entered the highway, they were speeding, but so was everyone else. She was speeding the whole way down, blasting Frank Ocean and Ariana Grande. They were still feeling horrible, but at least Thank You, Next was filling her ears, making them feel the best.

Once she had made it off the highway, they started to slow done. She was still speeding but they were like 5 miles per hour over the speed limit. 10 minutes before she had arrived at her house, they saw the red and blue lights in her mirror. They tried to out drive the cops, but it didn't work very well, She obviously didn't drive to Anna's house, after about like 20 minutes of Quinn trying to out drive the cops. They finally caught her. An officer came to their window and signaled for her to roll down the window. As Quinn rolled down the window she started to talk

"Yay, I've caught two criminals, wait no not criminals, people who broke the law. Anyway that's my record, amazing."

Excitingly she realized

"Hey Lucy, can you play Highway to hell"

She yelled at her partner in the car. Quinn started to laugh

"Why are you laughing? Did I say something funny, do I have food in my teeth, is my hair not fixed. No my hair has to be perfect, what will my soulmate think when he meets me."

She started to freak out

"No, all good"

Quinn answered while still laughing her brains out.

"Anyway..."

"Alissa, we need to leave, Craig is coming to take care of her, we are being called in."

Her partner yelled

"Fine, Guuuurl stay here Craig is coming, he'll take care of you. Love your driving by the way! Bye!"

She screamed and walked slowly back to her car while 'Highway to Hell' was playing in the background. Seconds later they speed off, and while they speed off, another car came rushing in, with blue and red lights. She groaned, and quickly texted Luna, explaining their situation. Then Craig came to her window

"You know, I'll have to give you a ticket."

He told Quinn looking at his paper, writing down her ticket. Then he looked over into their car.

"What's that, over there in your passenger seat."

He pointed to a toy gun that they had in the car.

"Oh, that's a toy gun, my niece was over and she loves to play cops and robbers, she must have left that in here when I dropped her off earlier today. Look I can show you its a toy gun. See!"

As they said that, they moved her hand to the passenger seat and grabbed the toy, she pulled it over and held it in her hand, as if it was real and they wanted to shot someone, now she can see that that could have been a problem, but this Craig dude could have just touched it, hell it didn't even look real. As soon as she held this TOY in her hands he start to yell at Quinn:

"Keep that gun away from me. Now do you have a license to own a gun"

"No, bec..."

"No gun license I'm sorry Miss but I'm going to have to bring you in"

"It isn't even real"

They yelled at the top of my lungs

"Assaulting a police officer, tut tut tut."

Annoyed Quinn hopped out of their car, with her hands in the air, they knew what they had to do, it wasn't her first time.

"Keep you hands in the air, and remain silent, what you say can and will be used against you in the court of law"

She quickly locked her car and put the keys underneath, their phone was still in it, with the toy gun. She was pushed to the cop car and thrown into the backseat. As they were driving to the station Quinn was looking out, onto the streets of LA, thinking about what would happen to her, yes they had been arrested before, but it was never that serious. This time they were being charged of owning a firearm and assaulting a police officer, she might even be sentenced, and go to juvie.

The rain started to pour which was unusual for the weather here in Los Angeles, she was staring at cars passing by wondering what had happened with their life the past few days. A year ago she was a straight A student, their life was in check, they had amazing friends, her parents were loving, she had an amazing boyfriend who wasn't cheating on them, now she was still a straight A student but they had to work harder than ever to achieve it which isn't bad, her life well as you know they're pregnant, her friends yeah they all ditched them because well she doesn't know, their parents are working harder than ever to afford her school cost so they never have time for them, and their amazing boyfriend is sleeping with his ex. And now she's sitting in the back of a police car.

Once they arrived she was thrown into a cell. Literally. As they were standing back up she looked around to see was there, Nathaniel Williams not all that surprising, she had heard he did lots of illegal stuff, Melania Bartolomeo kinda surprising, she had heard from various people that their mom had split up with their dad in the holidays, and she's spoken to her before and she shoplifts a bit, plus one of her friends is Quinn's neighbor. Then over in the corner talking to Melania was Beth Fletcher, popular girl, from Britain like Nathaniel, that's actually how they met, they both came here in 4th grade, Beth from Manchester and Nathaniel from London, became best friends, then in 7th grade Beth dropped him or Nathaniel left their friend group, anyway since then they have hated each other, the best part is, because they were best friend and both came from England their parents are super close.

Back to the story, they were super surprised to see Beth in the cell, she seemed perfect and like she could never go wrong.

"Are you ok"

A sweet, soft, angel like voice said

"Don't act like you care about other people's feelings"

Obviously Nathaniel said that as the only male sounding person in the cell

"No I care, just not about yours!"

Suddenly Quinn felt a hand touch mine and pull them up

"Sorry, they have been going on like this since Nathaniel arrived in here, I'm Melania and your Quinn right, I've heard you have one of the best GPAs at school"

Quinn agreed and smiled. And with this Quinn and Melania started talking, once Beth had stopped fighting with Nathaniel, Melania started talking to Nathaniel, and Quinn and Beth got to talking. She was telling Quinn all about how she had got to jail then Quinn was telling her what happened to me. She even confided in her about their pregnancy. All throughout their conversations Quinn could see her staring at Nathaniel.

"What's that all about?"

"What do you mean?"

Quinn rolled their eyes.

"Don't act stupid, all you've been doing is staring at Nathaniel, there you're doing it again."

"I'm going to sound so stupid. But like I've always admired him for what he did, he just up and left our friend group, I always wanted to do that but I'm not as brave as him, I mean he does car racing, I could never. You no I've never told anyone this other than Daniel but on the first day he didn't hang out with me I was hurt, I'll agree maybe I was hanging out with him a bit less than normal, but on that day I went over to his house, asking where he was, he told me he wanted to leave the group and asked if I wanted to too. I remember telling him I couldn't"

A single tear glided down her face, but she quickly whipped it away.

"I told him... I told him I couldn't because it would ruin my status, I said I can't not be popular. I said being popular helps me, it helps my self-esteem issues, it still does. I said No, and that ruined everything, he got mad, said that the reason I have self-esteem issues was because I was popular, then I said I would love to leave, but it gives me a sense of importance, something in my life to wake up to. He got mad at the last part I said, he said 'shouldn't I be something to wake up too' and then I said being popular gives me something that makes me want to get ready, makes me want to do good in school, makes me want to make friends, makes me want to live essentially."

She told me. Quinn hugged her, the hardest they had ever hugged anyone, Quinn could see Beth was hurting telling this story again, that Nathaniel had caused her so much pain, Beth had also brought Nathaniel pain.

"You don't need to continue"

Quinn said

"No it's fine, I like venting to you, I haven't told anyone what happened since it happened"

She said angelically

"So I told him this, he said: 'If popularity makes you want to live, but also want to die' I told him I wanted to die anyway 'well then just don't be popular then you won't have the problem' I screamed something along the lines that he wouldn't understand, then he replied like how would I not understand, my best friend died a week ago, his grandpa, I said aren't I meant to be your best friend. 'Well you're never there for me' he screamed to my face mind you he spat him my, at this point I was already tearing up I answered to that like 'how can I be there for you, if you never talk to' I can't even remember what he answered"

While she was talking Quinn looked over to Nathaniel and Melania, it seemed that they were joking about something, they had been laughing the whole time, but surprisingly you couldn't hear what they were saying.

"Back to what I was saying, then we had like a huge fight, I said some stuff I regret, like how I insulted is grandma, he said some hurtful stuff, I'm sure he regrets, at least I hope he does, I mean he said I was stupid and that I should kill myself if I'm already thinking about, then I stormed out and we haven't said anything nice to each other since. Umm wait real quick."

Beth stood up and went to hug the new person who had just entered the cell. He then sat down and he and Beth started to talk, Quinn moved next to Nathaniel cause Melania wanted to sit next to Beth, so Quinn and Nathaniel started to talk about how England is and a bit about Beth.
