Vodka Kisses

0718-Choose or Lose

There's a pounding at the door and I look up at Logan who's fresh out of the shower and getting dressed.

"I'll get it, it sounds angry." He leans down and kisses me before heading downstairs.

My phone rings and I quickly answer the call from Hannah.

"Are the police there?" She asks me immediately.

"Huh?" I question, confused.

"The police, they're stopping at every one's to search and sieze." Hannah tells me.

"Grace!" Logan shouts. "Come down here."

"I think they're here." I whisper as I quickly rush out of my bedroom and down the stairs where there's dozens of officers.

"They're here." I whisper.

"We're going to need that phone." An officer tells me and puts his hand out.

"No way." I shake my head and quickly hang up on Hannah.

"Grace, give them the phone." Logan looks up from the warrant list in his hands.

My eyes widen as I look at him.

"They're allowed to take it, be compliant with them, don't fight it." He tells me and I let out a heavy sigh before handing over my phone.

The police start wandering the house and taking all my stuff.

Logan holds me in his arms as we watch the officers scoot around and ruffle through my stuff.

"That's mine, I need that to work! You can't take that." Logan shouts as an officer tries to seize his laptop.

They still take the laptop and Logan argues with just about every officer.

They let me grab some clothes and get changed before I'm forced out of my house, Logan too.

"Hey did your mom find you?" Caleb asks Hannah as soon as she walks through the door to the room we're all in.

"I could have climbed through a window and she would have found me." Hannah points out.

I lean into Logan, still feeling nauseous as hell. I've been throwing up all morning, I threw up before the police came to my house and I managed to hold it off until I got here to throw up again.

"Hey, she gave us a room to hang out in until we can go back to our houses." Emily says.

"Yeah, I know. Probably thought I'd feel bad about getting a free suite. The world's upside down." Hannah moves to beside Caleb.

"Speaking of which." Spencer pulls stuff out of her bag. "I got us all these, until we get our real phones back." Spencer hands around old flip phones.

"This makes me really want to go to jail." Hannah says and I scoff as I flip my phone open and look at it.

"What are we doing to stay out of jail?" Ali asks.

"Has anyone heard from Aria?" Hannah asks.

"No." I shake my head.

"She doesn't have one of these." Spencer points out, waving her flip phone.

"I tried Ezra, on the way over here but we didn't hear from him either." Logan tells them.

"Okay, guys, I know we all woke up early and were cranky but let's stay focused. Im as freaked out as the rest of you. Maybe even more considering it looks like A.D was watching Ali and me sleep last night." Emily tells us.

That doesn't go unnoticed. All of us turn and look between them.

"Wait." Hannah says. "So are you two..." both girls smile. "Well, about time."
