They unlock a back door gate and run until they see a garage door open, Lily closes the gate and they both hide under a desk. "This place looks familiar." Lily whispers to herself. Sirens continue to go off passing by back and forth, they let out a big breath and lay their heads back. They hear a thump making JohnB jump, "All units, reports of a white male and female running through backyards." someone on a radio says, "Shh, it's a cop." JohnB says putting a finger up to his mouth. They look at each other both knowing what to do, they run out of the desk and inside the house, they walk into the kitchen and stop once they see Kelce. "Fuck. I should've known." Lily says remembering she attended a party at his house with Rafe. That's who she would think about when she wasn't running.

Kelce turns around looking at them, "Lily?" he says getting up, JohnB puts his hands up while Lily stands there knowing Kelce won't hurt her. "Hey man." JB says, "John B." Kelce says with wide eyes. "What are y'all doing here?" he speaks up again. "I'm sorry, we didn't mean to-" he says getting cut off.

"Man, I know what yall did. Get out of my house!" Kelce interrupts, "We didn't do it!" JB yells, "Don't try to talk to me, I know what yall did." he replies backing up, grabbing a knife. "Kelce, put the knife down." Lily speaks up, "You invaded my homeland."

Kelce walks towards them, they run almost sliding on the perfectly mopped floor, they find a washing room and run in it, shutting the door behind them. Kelce rattles the door then stops making them look confused, "Kelce?" JB says looking at the door. Lily rattles the door but it won't open. "Kelce!" Lily yells banging on the door, "Youe in the house or pain now. I got yall!" the dark haired boy yells. "Shit, shit, shit!" she whispers pinning her hair up.

"Knock, knock!" Kelce yells after a couple minutes of silence, "Hey! Hey, Kelce. Please just let us out." JohnB says rattling the door, "I don't think so, bitch. Maybe Lily since that's Rafes girl, but word on the street is that you got a bounty on your head, bro." him saying that made Lily and JohnB look at each other confused, "Your macking on Rafe Cameron?" JB whispers, "I'm just as confused as you are." Lily replies back.

"Twenty five k cash money, dead or alive. Isn't that right JohnB and Lily." Kelce adds, the voices stop from outside and they start rambling through things. "I found alcohol." Lily says, "Focus." JohnB says looking through baskets. "Okay, sorry." she replies back looking for a way out. "Kelce let us out, man." JB says throwing the hanger, "Yeah, Kelce isn't here. It's topper."

"Oh shit." Lily says sitting down, banging her head on the washing machine. "Yeah. Surprise." Topper says, "It's JohnB, hey man so-" JB says pulling hair back, "Just cut the bullshit, all right? The chickens are roostin brother. It's over, you're in deep shit." Lily gets up and walks to the door, "Topper we didn't fucking kill her!" she yells, "Yall didn't shoot the sheriff?" he asks, "It was Rafe!" JB says banging on the door, it all replayed back in Lily's head, how she had a good time on the beach with Rafe, they were both happy. Then the next day it was gone.

"Sarah saw the whole thing." JohnB speaks up again, "Oh, it was Rafe? Okay, my bad." Topper says sarcastic, "I get you don't believe me, and honestly I probably wouldn't believe myself either, but I get you hate me because of Sarah." he says keeping his hand on the door, "You knew we were together right?" the blond boy asks, "Yeah, my bad."

"I got another question." Topper says, "Go for it buddy." Lily says fed up with all the talking between the two. "Did you fuck her? Hm?" he asks, Lily raises her eyebrows at the question. "No. I- Yes." JB says, "Yes or No JohnB?" he yells, "Okay, look man. Yes! Once." JB replies back, "Also Top, maybe don't say fuck, it's weird. Especially coming from you." Lily speaks up.
