When I was 17, my adopted sister told everyone I got her pregnant.

—I swear on my life that it is tied up.

How do you do this?

Nobody cared.

My mom yelled:

—Don’t even say his name. Don’t talk to him.

Someone, I think my uncle, called the police. By the time the officer arrived, I was sitting on the porch, bleeding from the mouth. One of them asked my dad if I was the suspect, and he nodded without looking at me.

They didn’t even handcuff me roughly. I could see that I was just a kid who looked half dead. But even so, going into that back seat with the snorting mermaids felt like being buried alive.

At the police station they asked me questions I could barely understand. When did it happen? What were you doing that night? Did she say that? I kept repeating what happened.

None of that. They didn’t sign me up. There was no evidence, nothing. They let me go in the morning. I remember one of them muttered the words “statutory case” under his breath.
