idiots?"

I was silent for a moment.

"I don't follow."

He sighed, shaking his head while staring at the floor before raising his head to face me.

"You tried to kill Liam."

Um, what?

"Harry, that's absurd! Why would I want to do that?"

"Probably because you want revenge for what we did to you in high school!" he boomed.

"Guys, I said I accepted your apologies! I don't want to get any sort of revenge! What makes you think I tried to kill Liam?"

"Your phone was found in the car a few hours after you parked the car next to a restaurant."

My phone...

I patted my jeans in shock, searching for my phone. 

It was not there. 

Someone must have taken it, and that would explain the tweet I supposedly posted on Twitter.

"Witnesses also say that the driver had long red hair and did not stop driving," Ethan added.

How?

I faced Bianca who sent me a secretive knowing smirk. 

It all made sense.

"Guys, it was not me. It was Bianca! I don't know how but she took my phone and sent someone to disguise as me to kill Liam!"

"Oh, please. There is no way you are getting out of this, Emery," Logan said. "What other 'truth' do you want to tell us?"

I took a deep inhale of oxygen. I took a second to look at every individual in the room. Everyone was looking at me with anger and hatred in their eyes.

My heart broke at the ongoing spectacle. What was happening was serious. Everyone thought I had tried to kill Liam, and no one was going to believe me.

"I did not hit Liam with a car. In fact, after I left the hotel, I was walking around--"

"WE HAVE HEARD ENOUGH OF YOUR LIES!" Zane boomed, cutting me off as I flinched in shock. "You have been lying to us ever since this year started, and we are tired of it." 

He reached out for my hand. My eyes widened as I backed away from him, trying to evade. Zane gave me a glare that could kill someone on the spot as he quickly grabbed my arm. His hold was strong and firm. It hurt, just like it did in high school.

 "Take her away!" he practically yelled at the officers. As if on cue, the police officers in the room approached me. In a panic, I turned to face everyone in the room.

"It wasn't me! You have to believe me!" I shouted, my words falling on deaf ears. No one was giving me a sign that they believed me.

"Why would I kill Liam? He's a wonderful guy! It wasn't me! It was Bianca!" I yelled while I was handcuffed. My vision blurred, and I realized I was crying.

"Shut up you lying bitch!" Harry shouted, making me silent for a moment. 

I can't believe this is happening.

The police guards reached for my hands and had placed them in a handcuff, waiting to take me away.

"I'm sorry, Emery. You did all these things, and you deserve this," Selena said with a sad smile.

Then something unexpected happened. Bianca stepped forward and delivered a harsh slap on my face.

"That was for calling me ugly," and then another one, "and that was for slapping me you bitch!"

"Bianca!" Harry yelled as he grabbed the girl who was smirking at me.

With that, I was being escorted outside.

"Guys! Help me! PLEASE!" I yelled out loud, and still, no one came to my aid. I closed my mouth, silently crying at how things turned out. 

The police officers had grabbed onto my shoulders, forcing me to walk with them as we went towards the exit of the hotel. I turned my head, seeing that no one was coming to help me.

To make things worse, there were people wandering around the hotel. They stopped to see what was happening.

I can't believe this is happening.

I should have left the tour. I knew I should have left!

Once I was outside the hotel, camera flashes momentarily blinded my vision.

"EMERY! Is it true you tried to kill Liam?"

"Emery! What did he do to make you try to murder him?"

"Emery! Is it true you faked your own murder to get rid of sweet Bianca?"

I was a sobbing mess, and the paparazzi were there to record everything. 

I turned my head to face the hotel entrance, seeing if any of the people who I loved came for me.

They didn't.

Selena wasn't coming. Erick wasn't coming. Anyone who I trusted wasn't coming.

Something shattered in me. 

I had no one. No one cared for me.

The revelation made me cry harder as I was led to the police vehicle. I didn't even bother to struggle as I was forced inside. 

I couldn't believe it. I could not believe I was going to jail for something I didn't do!

That was one of the worst days of my life.

Third Person's P.O.V

Tevix was with Eva in their castle. The both of them were watching Emery as she was led into the cop car. The sight of the crystal crying brought a smile to Eva's face.

"My Queen--" Tevix started.

"I know what you are going to say, Tevix," Eva cut him off.

"Wouldn't she plan to escape the cell?"

Eva smiled.

"She will."

Tevix felt more confused.

"But--"

"Patience, my minion. Everything is all going according to plan. This makes it easy for us to go to our next phase."

"What is it, my Queen?"

Eva smirked.

"Why, turning the crystal evil of course."

Tevix expression turned into shock as Eva cackled.
