Framed

A/N: Hey! THanks so much for the reviews. I'm going to switch up the point of views, I was just stuck when it came to writing from just Remira. lol

One Week Later

"Rem come on we gotta go!"

Matt yelled up the stairs for the third time, still not understanding what took women so long to get ready.

"I'm coming, I'm coming hold your horses!"

Walking down the stairs Remi was dressed in black skinny jeans and a VU shirt. Before she followed Matt out the door she double checked her bag. Computer, charger, phone, kindle, and Ipod, check!
Walking outside she climbed into the passenger side of the black Escalade.

"What got up your butt this morning Bro?"

She asked as she checked her makeup in the flip down mirror.

"You know I don't like being late, especially when I have to record vocals today."

"ok, ok sorry."

"Did you finish your schoolwork yet?"

Matt had let Remi be homeschool through an internet program, he had to email her work in every Friday.

"I'm going to finish it today, I need Zack’s help."

"Why can't I help?"

"It's math."

"Ah, yep definatly Z's department."

After making a quick stop at Starbucks, they finally pulled up to the studio. Walking in they were met by all the guys...who were having a lightsaber fight.

"Fuck Rev! I didn't hit you that hard!"

"Stop bein a pussy short shit!"

"Hey children, if you can't play nice I'll take the toys away!"

Remi announced as she took a seat on the love-seat tucked in the corner.

"Morning to you too, got that homework?"

Zack sat beside her, placing a kiss on her head. Matt walked into the vocal booth, a piece of black licorice already in his mouth.
The day went by uneventfully, aside from making fun of Matt's faces that he made when he sang...but that was all Jimmy's doing of course.
During a break Syn slouched down beside Rem, tossing a arm around her shoulder.

"How have you been doing?"

"I'm good, trying to stay busy."

"I see that...did you make that?"

Syn asked referring to the open image on Remi's laptop, it was an intricate skull with purple lace wings, the word 'SYN' in silver and purple letters.

"Yeah, it's something I've been messing around with."

"Thats good...really good...what would you think if I made that into a shirt on my line?"

"Really?!"

"Yeah, thats fucking amazing!"

"Thank you Syn!"

Without thinking Remi tossed her arms around his neck, he hugged her back as hard as he cold without hurting her. In this past week she has come out of that shell a good bit, at first she kept to herself, but now she's back to the Remi they all knew.
After a few more hours the guys decided to wrap it up for the day and head out to get something to eat, Remi's first public outing with them since moving in. Pulling into the parking lot of one of their favorite sushi places they all piled out of Syn's SUV.
Finding a table they all crowded in, Remi sitting between Zack and Matt. She always thought it funny all the attention the guys got, you could tell who the fan girls were by the giggling and pointing their way. But it was this time that was different...she swear she saw some of the girls giving her the death glare...great.

"Dude stop!...Seriously man quit it!"

Matt complaining brought Remi back from her thoughts, only to find Zack teasing him with calamari.

"I'm not gonna eat that shit, its fucking gross!"

"Come on man, just try it!"

"No, fuck off dude!"

"Seriously guys can I not take ya'll anywhere anymore?"

She sometimes felt like a mini-mom trying to deal with 5 little kids. The meal was amazing, and the guys were crashing at Matt and Remi's place for the night so they could get an early lead on recording in the morning.
Pulling up at the house police cars filled the driveway, the front door to the house open.

"What the fuck?"

Came out of Remi's mouth before she thought.

"Remira!"

Matt snapped

"What? I know good and well you swore when you were my age!"

Getting out they walked up to the house, being met by an officer.

"What's going on here?"

Matt asked the young officer.

"Sir you're going to have to leave, this is a crime scene!"

"This is my house!"

"You're house sir?"

"Yes my house, I'm Matthew Sanders."

"Come with me Sir."

Matt and Remira followed him to the door, a body laid covered in a sheet.

"We got a call, found him laying in your door way. Do you know him?"

The sheet was pulled back, seeing it Remi buried her face in Matt's side, a protective arm draping around her.

"No, never seen him before."

"I have."

Came a muffled answer, Remi peeked out.

"That's Jack, one of my Dad's...friends."

Another officer walked up, looking at a sheet of paper then back at Remi.

“Remira Ann Sanders?”

He asked, eyeing Matt then looking back at the small girl in front of him.

"Yes Sir."

"You have the right to remain silent."

His hand closed around her wrist, pulling her close and turning her around.

"What?"

"Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law."

Remi stood there, shocked, confused...mostly scared. The cold steel of handcuffs secured around her wrist and she was being pulled away.

"Hey! She was with me all night! She had nothing to do with this!"

Matt tried following the Detective pulling his little sister away, only to be held back by another Officer.

"If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you."

“Please! I didn't do anything! Matt!!”

She pleaded with the detective, only to be ignored.

"Matt!!"

She was shoved into the back of a squad car, tears streaming down her face.

"Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?”

The Detective finished reading her her rights. She couldn't do anything but shake her head as he closed the door and the car pulled away.
