Improved Essays

I hung out with friends, as if it was any other friday night then go hangout with friends afterwards and have a fun time like we usually do. Except this night was completely different.

I was wide awake from 1 A.M. to 4 A.M. when the worst alarm clock ever sounds. The sound of “get up, the police are here to ask a couple questions.” My heart was racing with fear, anxiety, and panic. I was greeted to Officers of the SJPD, names of Harp and Smith, Harp was a younger man, middle 20’s, and played the role of good cop. Smith was older, upper 40’s, and played the role of bad cop. We were asked our names, date of birth, and our parents number. We gave them all the information. I heard the ring on Officer Harp’s cell phone and I heard my dad’s voice. He came over to the house I was at and entered the room. I couldn’t bring myself to look him the eyes. I felt as if I am a disappointment. I was taken to my dad’s truck and he dorve me home. The whole car ride was dead silent, you could hear a pin drop. We pulled into my house’s driveway and walked to the garage
