step of the way, making it rain on my hoe!”
    Her attempt to be ghetto was so lame. “Don’t do that at the club,” I told her as my tears were finally relieved by her humor.
    She smiled brightly. “So you’re going?!”
    I nodded reluctantly.
    She jumped out of the bed and danced around. I think that she was just happy to have a reason to get out of this house on the nights that I would dance. She even promised to be my chauffeur until I was able to buy a car.
    She skipped out of the room, telling me, “I’ll be back. Going to get us drinks. This is a celebration!”
    Normally, I wasn’t a drinker. For years, Tyler drank so much that alcohol left a bad taste in my mouth. I didn’t start drinking it until about a year ago; usually while hanging out with Sabrina and peer pressure had forced me to look cool and underage drink.
    But, considering the way that I felt, a shot of Sabrina’s favorite, vodka, didn’t sound so bad.
    Now that I was alone, I clambered for my phone.
    I was literally shaking. I missed him so much, and I had to tell him.
    His green light was lit up like a Christmas tree, so I knew that he was online.
    I opened up our chat box and told him: I miss you. I’m about to do something that I never thought I would do, and all I can think about is you .
    I stared at the inbox; waiting, hoping, wishing, and praying. For ten minutes, I just waited and stared at the romantic poetry that had been our conversations over the past few months.
    One sentence jumped out at me: I can’t share you .
    What he didn’t realize was that, he didn’t have to. I was all his.
    “C’mon, Karrie!” Sabrina barely noticed my solemn expression as she entered her bedroom and made a beeline for her closet. “Put some clothes on, girlie. No booze in the kitchen. We have to hit the store.”
    Minutes later, I’d managed to compose myself enough to dry my tears and dress myself. Despite the gray clouds in my heart, the sun was shining brightly in our small town. It felt like beautiful Florida weather as we climbed into the Benz and took off.
    “Shit!” I had been in my own thoughts as Sabrina made her way through town. “The fucking cops are behind me.”
    “You should stop speeding then,” I told her.
    Sabrina looked like she was worried about more than a speeding ticket that her rich father would pay for without batting an eye.
    “What’s wrong, Sabrina?”
    “My license is suspended...And I have coke on me.”
    “WHAT?!”
    “Ssshhh! Calm down.”
    The squad car behind us now had sirens blaring.
    Sabrina reluctantly pulled over to the curb as we lost our breath and muttered in unison. “Shit.”
    “Great,” I muttered sarcastically. “This is just great .”
    Sabrina’s usually perfectly tanned skin was now white as snow. I just sat there, fed up with Sabrina’s constant ability to deliberately to be such a dimwit. She had been born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but she preferred to do lines of coke off of it.
    I cringed as the officer approached the driver’s side window. “License and registration, please, ma’am.”
    The voice was eerily familiar. I turned my head and met the eyes of my dad’s friend.
    “Karrie Stahl!”
    He was not only my dad’s friend, but his partner on the force as well. Therefore, he had been at my dad’s house a lot when I would visit last summer.
    “Hi, Officer Miller,” I greeted, trying desperately to keep my face from flushing red.
    Officer Miller was a breath of fresh air on this stressful day. God, he was hot.
    Hot was an understatement, because he set my body on an all out eight alarm fire.
    He was much younger than my dad, late twenties. He was a 6’3” frame of a physique that was architecturally designed by the muscle gods, which was easily seen through his uniform. His athletic build gave him a superhero appeal while perfect cheekbones, emerald eyes, and just the right amount of rugged facial hair made him the envy of any Calvin Klein model. However, he
