Simon's POV

I'm getting put in jail. Jail! How stupid is that!?I'm in a stupid cell with stupid kids. Hell, some of them don't even look like kids. Most of them look like adults!

"Now you wait for supper." A guard tells me as I get locked in a stupid cell.
"This is outrageous. I didn't even do anything!"
"Results say that you've attempted to murder someone?"

Everyone looks at me.
Shit.
"Look, I didn't try to. I was pissed. She made my friend almost kill herself!" I reply.

"And in return you almost killed her. Sorry, kid, you're staying in here." The guard replies, and I sit down on the cold, metal bench.

I'm not even supposed to be here.

"Hey, kid." Someone chimes.
"What." I reply.
"What's your name, eh?"
"Simon. Why?"
"Hm. No reason."

"What's yours?"
I might as well make a friend while I'm here.

"Riley. What did you say you were in for?"
"Supposed attempted murder. You?"
"Ha... Haha! Well, I drove my brother mad. He eventually got sent somewhere when I got sent here."
"What's your brothers name?"
"Finn."
"Hm."

He looked at me and made a smile. Not of happiness, but of anger.

I sat on the floor as the bench was too cold.
I remember faintly speaking to Riley before I fell asleep of exhaustion. I have never felt this tired in my life.

Salem.

Oh my god, Salem! I haven't even thought about her since I had arrived here. I can't believe I'm being so selfish. I really do wonder, how she's doing?

I wake up in a dream. I'm on a pink beach with glowing sand. I can vaguely hear laughing in the distance. I have no dedication to move, yet I have an urge to follow the noise. The laughing gets closer and closer, but I can't exactly tell who's laughing. Soon enough, the laughing passes, and the only thing I can hear is the waves.

I hear footsteps, now. They get closer as the waves get farther from me. I look over to my right and see the sunset. It feels warm and welcoming on my face. Then, I hear the only thing that I want to hear right now.

"Simon?"

Taylor's POV

I've been anxiously waiting for a new text message from Salem. Who is this Finn boy she's with? Eh, whatever. Who cares at this point.

Salem but Finn
Taylor! We've made an escape plan!

I don't respond just yet.

Salem but Finn
Taylor?

Yeah, sorry. I'm here. What's the plan?

Salem but Finn
Okay, so, we're going to break out at around 2:30am, because that's when Layalen goes to bed. That's when everyone goes to bed, actually. Once we get out, we'll go to Centre Park, and you and Simon will meet us there. Wren can come too, if she'd like. After, we'll all escape to New York, and we'll all buy an apartment after working for a couple of months. We'll have fake ID cards, and it will work out perfectly.

I have nothing to say about this. I can't believe what I just read. I'm starting to think that she's being serious right now.

Um, Salem??

Salem but Finn
Yeah?

So um

Salem but Finn
spit it out already!

Simon is in juvie.

I don't get a respond back. That's probably a good thing. I wonder if she got caught? Maybe, it would be for the better. I just hope that Simon is okay.

Are they thinking about each other? Hm... Only time will tell.

I message Wren and wait for a response back. Maybe she'll help me with this.

Maybe.
