It's one week later when everything goes to hell, and it all starts with a phone call waking Lisa up in the middle of the night.
She wonders for the split second it takes her to realize that the ringing is not a dream when this has become her life. She reaches for her phone blindly, thankful of the fact Minnie wasn't here to witness her falling off the bed in the attempt to do so.
"Hello?" she croaks out when she finally untangled herself from the mess of covers now on the floor.
"Hey, Lisa." she hears Chaeyoung slur in the phone, "I need a teeny tiny favor."
She frowns, taking her phone off her ear to look at the unknown number flashing on the screen, "Chaeyoung? Where are you? Are you okay? Whose phone is this?"
"Campus police probably."
Lisa wakes up fully at that, "Where?"
"I'm at the station on campus." Chaeyoung's voice gets smaller, still struggling through her words, though this time it doesn't feel like it's because of the alcohol, "Can you come get me?"
"Yes. Sure. Stay put and give me ten. Don't say anything to them until I get there."
Chaeyoung's voice is still as small as she answers, "Okay."
"Are you okay?" Lisa asks again, concern seeping into her voice like water through cracks. Sure, it was just campus police, but it still was dangerous.
"Yeah. Better."
"Better?" Lisa frowns, confused.
Chaeyoung doesn't offer an explanation, "I'll see you in ten?"
"Yes. I'm coming. Don't worry."
"How can I, if you're on the job?" is the last thing Lisa hears before the phone drones out.
She grabs her jacket off the chair, checking the pockets for her car keys and her wallet. She hopes Chaeyoung had been smart enough not to antagonize the cop too much.
She calls Jennie as soon as she gets in her car, her hands becoming colder against the steering wheel by the minute.
She waits to hear the first grumble before starting to talk, "Hey, your best friend is in jail, why aren't you there with her?"
"Lisa?"
"Yes. I'm on my way to the campus police station, Chaeyoung is there, drunk and alone. Why aren't you with her?" she repeats, trying her best not to sound angry at the fact Chaeyoung was in trouble alone.
Jennie only manages to sound sleepier and more confused, "You know the way to the campus police station?"
"Yeah, I was arrested once at a peace rally on campus."
"You? Arrested at a rally?" Jennie's voice grows in unbelief.
She hears embarrassed laugh on the other side of the phone, and she really doesn't have time for this, "Don't distract me. Why aren't you there with her?"
"I didn't even know she was out!"
"Whatever." she swerves around the corner and parks her car in the empty parking lot, jumping out of the car so fast she almost forgets to pull the handbrake, "I'm here. Can I bring her to yours afterwards? I don't want to leave her alone tonight, she sounded pretty drunk."
Jennie screams a 'no' in her ear straight away, so loud Lisa has to move the phone away from her ear.
"Why not?!"
"Can you just take her with you?" she pleads into the phone, and Lisa's pretty sure she's pouting right about now.
"Why?"
