Dorian DeLoughrey
The way everything happened and ended wasn’t what Dorian was hoping for, or expected. He was supposed to talk with the officer, deal with the mistake he’s made and drop Jessica off in front of Daniel’s house. Even with his snarky comment things were supposed to be simple like that but were they? Of course not. Jessica just had to go and ruin everything. Just hearing her shuffling in her seat made him look back at her before she spoke up. Although she simply insulted Dorian, which he didn’t care about at that moment and didn’t say anything that bad, he gave her a look that told her to shut up since his words obviously didn’t work. But neither did that and he soon found himself leaning back in his seat with closed eyes just listening to Jessica getting herself in trouble.
If the situation wasn’t so serious and there wouldn’t be any consequences, he’d say something, perhaps he would support what she was saying but that was not the case. As she just kept talking his expression visibly changed. It would be wrong to say Jessica wasn’t right, she was, but that was not a conversation she should be having now. With the cop. His hands were gripping the steering wheel tightly once again as he waited, for what if felt like an eternity, for her to just shut up. If he had just one more minute he would let his anger get the best of him and say even worse things but the guy told Jessica to get out of the car making Dorian relax his arms and look between them in both shock and surprise. Well, surprise wasn’t the right word, he wasn’t surprised that it happened because let’s be real, she deserved it. He was just surprised by how terribly this was going.
Unbuckling his seatbelt almost instantly, he also got out of the car and stayed on his side of it, holding onto the door as he watched the scene in front of him. It was almost hot seeing her arguing with the officer if he didn’t know what getting out of the car could lead to. If he didn’t know whose father he was. Kyle. A name that made him roll his eyes every time. That guy was and still is on top of Dorian’s hate list. After Daniel, but let’s forget about him for a moment. There were many reasons why he hated Kyle. Maybe because Jessica did kind of date him, maybe because he was Dorian’s rival but that guy was just… hateable. And maybe the thought of him made him more frustrated as he basically yelled at her and slammed his door shut. “Do you know when to shut up?”
It was too late for him to say that and it’s not like it would’ve helped in any way because she already had her hands against the car. “Hey, hey,” he rushed to the other side of the car as the man put cuffs around her wrists. This was exactly what he didn’t want to happen. Hell, he didn’t want that to happen to him but… “You’re hurting her, stop, there’s no need for that,” Dorian said harshly, angry gaze on the man next to him as he not so gently pushed him, trying to get in between the two. What was he hoping he would do that way, even he doesn’t know because that’s not the way to act with the police officer. And he learned that quickly as the man quickly twisted his arm and turned him he would put the cuffs on him too. “Great”, he mumbled as the officer kept talking and he only heard holding cell and attacking.
“Attacking? I didn’t attack anyone.” Dorian stated, his voice only raising as he tried to turn to look at the man but couldn’t do it. It was already too late to act nice and pretend like everything was fine, they were both in cuffs and there was no going back. “This is such a bullsh*t. I get why her but why me?” Dorian continued arguing, glancing at Jessica with both disappointed and angry look. And he really did blame her for this. If she wasn’t in the car this would’ve never happened. If she never came back this would’ve never happened. If she never left. There was just so much he heald against her and this didn’t help with that.
But before he knew it they were both in the police car and then in a holding cell. And the whole time he was quiet, once again. If we ignore the random “you’re so stupid” comments directed at Jessica.
His parents crossed his mind, he couldn’t stop thinking about what they would say once they find out what happened. They were in for a big surprise and Dorian didn’t know how to explain it to them. He could say it was Jessica’s fault, it was, but would they believe him? No, they wouldn’t. Why would they believe him over her? Why would they believe him over anyone really? But Jessica would tell them what really happened, he was sure of that, so why should he blame her? Why should he be the bad guy? Just because he was still p^ssed at her? In reality, he didn’t want to blame her, he didn’t want his parents to be disappointed in her, he would gladly take the “blame”. But yes, he was still p^ssed.
In that little room, while they were waiting, he was just sitting on the bench intensely staring at her. Nothing else. He was just staring at her without moving, not saying anything when he had so many thoughts going through his mind. But this time, unlike in his car, he wasn’t listening to anything she was saying, he could only see her mouth opening and closing. Once again she didn’t know how to shut up.
“Can you please,” Dorian suddenly stood up, walking towards the bars and put his arms through the gaps. “Please take her to another cell or whatever this is?”
