The line we cross

246 miles from the border

I rub my eyes like a cartoon character, but it's still Kali. How did she get here? I thought her and the others got....you know...  Brooke and Tyler Jump out the truck. She has a shocked emotion painted on her face. She's muddy and her clothes are ripped. Brooke Pulls her into her arms. She pulls her out and looks at her mucky face and clothes.

"How the hell did you get here Kal?"

"Wait, you know this girl?" Mason asks.

"Uh, yeah she was one of my friends that got kidnaped remember?".

"Alright, calm." Mason voiced, "Hey, I'm Mason." He nods to Kali, she whips a small smirk back at him.

"So how did you get here?" Brooke repeated.

"Oh, those old guys that 'kidnaped' us, yeah they took us to a phone booth then called the government hotline. Tried to sell us. While they were at the booth, I snuck Harpers high heel under the door and pried it open. They instantly turned so I ran for a bus stopping by. I jumped in and told them to drive. Then I hopped from car to car towards the border. Then some guy driving me to a phone booth - so I could call my brother - had a heart attack and crashed, totally ruining my makeup, but anyway I ran out the car cause, duh the police, then I-"

"We get it Kal." Brooke chirped. Mine and Masons jaw's were both on the floor. She seemed so calm for what just happened to her. I mean my experience on this trip has been bad and I'm traumatised.

"I still can't believe your here!" Brooke shouts, they squeal then hug again. Brooke pulls away then holds Kal's shoulders.

"Let's go get a drink."

"Woah, hold it there." Kat interrupted. The girls both looked at her, their faces sour.

"You missy have a big job tomorrow, can't have you hungover at the protest when you and Owe are looking for your dad."

"Wait halt, Protest?" Kal uttered.

"Oh." Brooke sighs, "tomorrow there's a massive protest at the border, hundreds of teens. But my dad wants to kill the main leader of the protest." Kali's eyes widen.

"So me and Owe are gonna go find my dad and stop him before he attacks."

"Sweet."

"Alright lets get drinks" broke announces.

"Uh, no did you hear anything I just sa-"

"Non-alcoholic, drinks."

We rush inside. the bar is filled to the brim with drunk men and country women with industrial themed cocktails. Kat and Logan sit at the bar drinking god knows what, but it looks like coke mixed with foam and metal. me and Tyler play foosball, Brooke sits in a booth and watches us, and Mason and Kal sit on the other side of the booth. Mason Whispers into Kali's ear and she giggles like a six year old. I notice Tyler growling at them. He catches me staring at him and places the ball in the court. then instantly knocks it into my net. I feel a surge of rage fling through me. Tyler usually laughs when I rage, but his face is still and cold. I try to humour him by kicking the table then pretending I hurt my knee. He pity smirks. We join the others in the booth. Brooke shuffles towards me a bit. My body tenses up and I'm pretty sure she notices. She Tightens her cheeks, creating a smile, causing even more butterflies to crawl through me. Kali spots a stain on Mason's t-shirt, she licks her thumb and rubs he stain till it's invisible. Tyler sits in sulk.

"guys I am Dying for some booze right now." Brooke announces. Kali slaps the table with excitement.

"Oh! we could search peoples tables to see if they left any."
