Chapter 14

Jessy picks me up the next morning to take me to the police station to file a report. I told her I could drive myself, but of course she didn't believe I would follow through with it. Deep down part of me believes I would have chickened out too. I don't tell Jessy this though. Jessy packed sunglasses and a beanie for me. To hide my identity she claims. I will admit, she thinks of everything.

I phoned Sam last night and told him I would be in after my morning appointment. His only response was “Okay Evie." I'm not sure how to take him sometimes, but one thing I like about him is that he doesn't pry information out of me.

We meet with a female officer, Kate Velle. She’s pretty, yet looks like she can kick some ass. Long black hair, straight as can be. She’s tall and fit. I have no doubt she does her job well. Her expression is intimidating as I replay that night and finish up with Chet showing up at my place. By the time I’m finished with my story, she looks pissed. Officer Velle reassured me several times that I've done the right thing by reporting what happened. If only I could feel that way. Jessy told her I would be moving in with her until this matter was taken care of. I went to argue but Officer Velle stopped me mid sentence and told me Jessy was right.

"See Evie. That wasn't so bad." Jessy says, handing me the sunglasses as we walk out of the station. I feel clammy and mentally drained.

"Hey, Earth to Evie." Jessy brings me out of my thoughts. "You're going to be okay."

"Sorry Jess, I was just thinking of everything that just happened."

"It's okay, you've got this. I'll drop you at S1 and then I'm gonna go back and pack up your place."

"Jessy, you don't have..." I go to argue but she quickly holds a hand up,

"Don't bother." Her reply is sarcastic, just like the smile on her face. Damn her.

The car ride to work is short and quiet. Just what I needed. Time to think and then overthink.
