You showed up at the address Griffin had sent you and were a little taken back by the fact that it was a bar. You were only 20 and there was no way you’d get in there this late if at all. You couldn't figure out why he would bring you some place you couldnt even hear yourself think from out on the parking lot much less what you can imagine it'd sound like inside.

Your worry was interrupted by a message from Chase which gave you a little relief as you climbed out of the car.

Griffin came up behind you as you fixed your hair in the reflection of your window:
“Ready?”

He startled you and you jumped just about out of your own skin:
“I- I thought you wanted to meet somewhere to get to know each other and talk? Besides… I can’t get in here.”

Griffin: “Oh come on. Don’t be a baby. There’s a back door and my buddy is letting us in there so we can sneak past the bouncers.”

You tried to pull your arm back but Griffin paid you no attention: “Griffin- I really don’t want to-”

Griffin laughed at your obvious discomfort:
“Oh grow up. It’s just dancing and drinking. Let’s go.”

He tightened his grip on your arm and pulled you towards the backdoor as you continued to protest

He tightened his grip on your arm and pulled you towards the backdoor as you continued to protest. The door opened and his friend gave you a creepy smirk as he led you down a dark hallway. The muffled beats got louder and louder until you ended up in the main room of the club. Griffin led you to an open table and you were a little taken aback to find the friend who'd snuck you guys in belly up to the table next to you.

Griffin ordered a round of drinks for you and his friend and himself. It felt a little weird to be on a date with him and another guy that you didn’t even know was coming. In fact everything about this felt uncomfortable. 

You: “I don’t really want anything to drink. I’m driving.”

Griffin laughed and told the waitress:
"Make her next one a double."

He chugged his and pushed yours towards you and you leaned in to ask:
"Do you usually bring friends with you on dates?"

Griffin nudged your drink even further towards you and replied:
"Eh. It's really not that big of a deal. He's chill. Maybe you'll end up liking both of us."

The way he said that and the way his friend looked at you made your skin crawl. You just wanted to leave but you felt totally pressured to take the shot.

You still weren’t having any fun after the 3rd drink when Griffin tried to pull you onto the dance floor. You tried to stop him as he leaned in to press a drunken kiss on your neck.

You: “Griffin, stop. STOP!”

Suddenly, Chase rushed through the crowd and pulled him off of you then yelled:
“She said stop.”

Do we attempt to get answers from Chase or just go straight to Jaden?
