Ashton

It was about 3:30am when my phone started to ring, Gabi at the other end.

"Uncle Ash, please can you pick us up?"

"Where are you?"

"We can't get a taxi and we are all panicking,"

"You don't need to panic, how many of you are there?"

"Four,"

"Alright. I will get my shoes on,"

"I'm scared,"

"Why are you scared?" I asked, climbing out of bed.

"I am fucked,"

"You can sleep over at my house, Ezra too if he wants. Can you send me the address?"

"I don't know it,"

"Send me your location and I will be there,"

"Okay and I will call you back?"

"If you want,"

I locked the front door and got in the car, waiting for the location to come through; I put it into maps and started following the directions, accepting the call back.

"I am on my way, darling. Do people live far?"

"They're getting another lift now,"

"Okie dokie. A sober one?"

"Yeah,"

"Good. It reckons I am 15 minutes away, are you out in the cold?"

"Ezra lent me his jacket,"

"Is Ezra okay?"

"Ezra, are you okay?"

"Yeah,"

"Yeah. Ezra is okay. We are both a bit too drunk,"

"Mhm. What did you get up to?"

"Dancing,"

"That sounds like fun. Have you had much water?"

"None,"

"How about we go through mcdonalds and get you guys some food and water?"

"I would love you forever and ever and extra,"

"Well that sounds brilliant. Why don't you head back inside while you wait? I hear your teeth chattering,"

"It's over,"

"Oh, okay. I will be there soon,"

Drunkly, the spoke between themselves for the rest of the journey, then I pulled up down the road and they wandered down, getting in the back. Immediately, Gabi grabbed a blanket, then they were both fighting with the buckles a little bit.

"All strapped in?"

"Yeah,"

"Good. What food do you want from mcdonalds?"

"Chicken nuggets please,"

"What am I allowed?" Gabi asked, "Whatever Calum won't shoot me for,"

"Calum would do that for the whole menu so take your pick,"

"A big burger,"

I took us through the drive through and got them food, and water bottle each, then they ate it in the back while se got home. We sat in the garage until they had finished, then I made them put their finger over their mouth until we got to the spare room.

"Do you need tshirts to sleep in?"

"I am comfy in this,"

"Me too,"
