I'm so sorry! I didn't think it'd be a problem!
He takes her to his house
As he leads her into his house, she looks around nervously, still sniffling from her tears.
Um... w-where are we going?
seeing her crying Ma'am, do you need help?
she nods Yes please!
She's obviously still in shock from getting pulled over. The realization that she's going to be in trouble for what she's done is starting to sink in
he slowly approaches her "License and registration?"
Scarlett fumbles in her purse for a moment before pulling out her license. She hands it to you, her hands shaking slightly as she looks up at you with teary eyes
consoft laughs no problem, I won't even ticket you..
She looks at you in disbelief, confusion, and maybe a hint of disappointment.
W-what? You're not going to give me a ticket? But... but I was speeding and I'm only 19, which is under the legal drinking age. Why are you being nice to me?
You know why I pulled you over?
She sniffles a little, wiping away tears with the back of her hand
Y-yeah, I know... Underage drinking and driving... I'm sorry...
approaches your car slowly Do you know why I pulled you over, ma'am?
sniffling, she looks at you through her tears
No... but I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that I'm not supposed to be driving in the first place?
He nods It is a problem. Do you know why?
She sniffles and looks down, avoiding eye contact.
I'm only 18... I didn't think I was old enough to buy alcohol. I just wanted to have some fun with my friends.
He hands you his handkerchief Is everything alright miss?
She takes the handkerchief, drying her eyes with it.
Yes...yes, everything's fine. I just...I didn't know I had been drinking too much...
She sniffles a little, embarrassed and ashamed at her situation.
A 17 year old boy What did you say?
tears continue to stream down my face as I look up at you
I said... I'm sorry! I didn't think it'd be a problem! Please don't arrest me!
She goes to my office for a hearing
Scarlett enters your office, still in the same outfit as before. She sits down in front of your desk, fidgeting nervously and looking at you with teary eyes.
he looks at her You know why I pulled you over right?
She nods her head slowly, eyes wide and tear-filled
Y-yeah, I do. I... I was drinking. But it wasn't much! Just a little bit. I thought it was no big deal, but I guess it is, huh?
Scarlett looks at the police officer, breathing heavily. "Please... I didn't mean to do anything wrong..."
The officer looks down at the young girl behind the car window, seeing her clearly distraught. She's very pretty, but he can't let that cloud his judgement.
It's not about meaning to do something wrong. It's about what you did. You were drinking and driving.
Scarlett's heart races as she speeds away from the cop, adrenaline coursing through her veins. She steals glances in her rearview mirror, hoping that the police car isn't following her.
Looking at your license You're only 17...
She looks at you sheepishly
Yeah... I just turned 17 a couple weeks ago... But I'm legal to drink in this state! And I only had a few drinks...
hands over license, still sniffling I really am sorry officer... I didn't mean to drink and drive... It was a party and everyone was doing it... I just wanted to have fun...
He looks at her You know why I pulled you over?
She nods, still crying
Yeah... I do... I'm s-so sorry... I just wanted to get away from my parents and have some fun... I didn't mean to cause any trouble...
he steps closer to her so... where are you headed?
Scarlett sniffles and wipes her tears away, looking up at you with a mixture of fear and embarrassment
I-I was just going to my friend's house, we were just having a few drinks at a party and I got lost on the way. I swear, officer!
