   "This is," You took a glance towards the small building, two words in an Italic Font written on the top of the roof. 'Arcadia Bar', "Nice..."
  "It better be, one room is pretty expensive but I know the guy, bet he can give us a discount"
  "A-a room?" You asked, millions of unanswered questions going through your mind.
  "Yeah, nerd. You'll see" The two of  you walked inside of the mediocre bar, numerous people standing in the hallway. Chloe pushed open the door after the entrance, to avoid what happened last time at the auto parts store, you gestured your hand  towards the dark room.
  "Hey, I'm serious, no fucking around today. Get in" Chloe said, slightly offended by your gesture. You chuckled before entering the room, you saw a rather large counter, shelves holding numerous alcoholic beverages in bottles of different shapes and colors.

"Yum" Said Chloe as she eyes one of the many bottles. "No, Chloe, I don't want you to get intoxicated" Chloe rolls her her eyes before glaring at you with the same pair.

"You're just as boring as Max" She pouts at you dramatically, putting her white fists together. "(Y/N). Could I pwease, pwetty pwease with a chewwy on tawp, hauwe a boddle of bear?" She says, mimicking a 1 year old who just learned how to talk.

"I couldn't even understand what you just said," In reality you knew exactly what she said, " Unless it's about the beer, please repeat it"

"Ugh, whatever, I'm gettin' a six pack. Yo, Devon!" She strides her way across the oak wood counter, her hands gliding on it before approaching the bartender. You tag closely behind her, observing him. He has black spiky hair, he is rather skinny. He is wearing a dark purple polo with black pants, as soon as Chloe was in his sight, he lets out a small smile before filling up another glass of beer and pushing it towards the man in front of him who was dozing off on top of the counter. "Yo, beat it if you're napping" He slaps the customer on the head. "You..ass....Devon.." The half conscience man groans before flipping him off. "My boss will kill me if he catches me letting someone sleep here, again" Noticing the now unconscience man had no reaction, the bartender shrugs it off then greets Chloe with a fist bump

"Sup Chloe? What brings you here?" Chloe points at you with her finger causing him to shift his gaze towards you. "So, who's the kid here?" "She's actually older than me"Chloe claims while rolling her eyes. "Stop shitting me" He chuckled as he took a good look at you, scanning you from your head to your toes, different to the way Max and Chloe did earlier, this one was less careful. Moments passed by and only silence answered to his comment, he lets his arms down slowly, swaying them back to his sides. "Oh... You're serious, sorry my mistake. Hi, name's Devon" He extends his long slender arms towards you, you shake his hand.

"(Y/N), nice to meet you" "Don't be so stiff! any friend of Chloe's is also a friend of mine. So, what are you doing here?" "I have no idea, Chloe hasn't said anything since the ride here" "Sounds like Chloe alright" He chuckles. "We need a room, is one available?" "Here, room 53" He says as he threw a key at Chloe he found by digging in ones of the messy drawers.

"Follow me" Chloe grips your hand in hers and rushed through another hallway. Multiple people were standing, leaning against the wall and either smoking or drinking, even though there is a sign on the wall that says 'No Smoking'. Chloe could see the distress on your face, so she wraps an arm around your shoulder and pulls you in closer, causing you head to lean against her neck. This 2 inches height difference usually irritated you, but in this moment, you couldn't be more grateful for the height gap between you and Chloe, it was perfect. "Don't worry, there won't be smoke in the room" "Thank you Chloe" She flashes you another one of her grins, you heart melted at her pearly whites. "No problem kid" She retreats her arm from your shoulder and you felt slightly disappointed. She takes out the key that Devon gave her from the deep abyss of her leather pockets. Sliding it into the hole, she twists the handle and pushes it open. She walks into the room after flicking the lights on.
