Losing Lucidity

Chapter 9

I woke up the next morning on Chandler's couch with Mollie cuddled into me.

Kyle, Blake and Emily were on the floor and the rest were no where to be found.

I didn't plan on moving any time soon since Mollie was hanging on to me for life. She's fixing to fall off.

I grab her legs and her waist and flip her lightly to where her back is on the pillows of the couch.

I stand up realizing I have no shirt on, but I'm wearing jeans. So I know for sure we didn't do anything. She's seen me shirtless before so I'm not worried.

I walk upstairs to check and see if all of them are in rooms or something.

I check Chandler's room, and Chandler and Ashley are in there, I check the guest room Sidney is in there, and Chandler's parents room is occupied by Allysen.

Where is everyone?

I come downstairs and decide to make everyone breakfast. It's like, 9:30 so by the time I'm done it'll be probably 10:30.

I grab the pancake batter and everything required for it and start making a LOT of pancakes. I can hear someone slowly walking into the kitchen, and knowing my friends it's probably Chandler trying to scare me. Fucking Bitch...

Then I hear Mollie's voice scream "BOO!" And grab my arms lightly.

I turn my head to see her beautiful tired eyes staring into mine.

"I see you're making pancakes. Do you need any help?" She says not losing eye contact.

"If you want, there's fruit in one of the drawers if you want to wash and cut them." I say.

"Sure thing." She says and heads for the refrigerator.

She begins on that while I'm finishing up the pancakes and set them on the dining room table.

She finished washing and cutting the fruits, putting them in separate bowls and setting it around the pancakes.

We wake everyone up and eat.

In the middle of eating I get a call on my phone, and it's a number I've never seen before, it's calling from Austin though, so I answer.

"Hello, this is an automated voice message calling from Arnett County Jail. Press 1 to answer an incoming call."

*beep*

I press "1" confused as hell on what's going on. My brother got arrested 6 months ago, which I don't talk about much, but he never calls me? He calls my parents.

"Hey bro it's Jackson, me, Liam, Tyler, Ryan and the girl he was with got arrested."

"What for?! What's going on?" I say loudly, with everyone at the table worried.

"Ryan was a fucking idiot and was driving while intoxicated, as all of us were and his girl had a joint on her. I don't know how y'all are going to get all of us out." Jackson says worried.

"I'll try my best man, but I don't know how it's going to work out. I'll have us all pitch in." I say.

"Thanks man, I really appreciate it, just get us out of here. This place is literal fucking hell." Jackson says.

"One minute left on call." I hear the automated message say.

"Hang in there man. I'm getting y'all out as soon as possible." I say.

He hangs up and now I'm left with the pressure of stares and the struggle of how I'm going to tell everyone.

"Well, that was Jackson, and him, Liam, Ryan, Tyler and Brittany are in jail."

Everyone looks at me with wide eyes.

"What for? I hear Chandler ask.

"Well, they were all intoxicated, and Ryan was driving, Jackson didn't have time to tell me where and why, but what really got them busted was Brittany having a fucking joint in her bag." I say.

"You've got to be kidding me," I hear Sidney begin.

"I told her not to bring it along because of this fucking reason." She says really mad.

"Well, let's worry about how we're going to get them out." I say.

"I have like 10,000 saved up right now." Chandler says.

"I have like 300 in pocket right now." Blake says.

We decided to use Chandler's credit card and pay him back with our cash.

We all head to the car(s) and drive to the jail house.
