"I don't know how much longer I could've lasted." Liam says with tired eyes.
"Nah, it wasn't too bad, I mean, the concrete slab for a bed sucked of course but the people there were pretty funny." Ryan says.
"Well, there's a little trick, where you use the crocs they give you while you're in the holding cell and you use them as a pillow, or you take the toilet paper roll... Whatever is available." I say.
"How would you know that, you've never been arrested." Ryan attacks.
"Have y'all met my brother?" I laugh.
"Oh, yeah." Ryan says.
"Well, as soon as we get back to Chandler's, I'm taking a shower, brushing my teeth and I'm taking a nap. Sorry not sorry." Jackson says.
All the girls are sitting on the waiting room bench quietly, except Mollie.
Mollie is at the vending machine.
"Wait, where's Brittany?" Ryan says.
"She's in jail." Chandler says.
"And why didn't y'all get her out?" Ryan says irritated.
"We couldn't afford it, I just got you, Liam, Tyler and Jackson out so." Chandler adds.
"Well, what's a little more money gonna hurt, you're fucking rich Chandler." Ryan says.
"No, I'm not. And are you going to pay?" Chandler says.
"I don't have anything on me right now. Come on dude, I've done a lot for you." Ryan says.
"Dude, I just bailed you out and y'all probably wouldn't be in this mess if she didn't have a sack of weed on her. Don't go for a pothead next time or tell her to leave it." Chandler says angrily.
"Y'all shut the fuck up!" I scream.
The room is silent.
"I'm tired, I want to get out of here, get everything back how it was and just chill, quit acting ignorant." I say.
"I'll drive." Mollie says making it less awkward.
Tyler is silent this whole time.
"You alright Ty?" Jackson says before I could.
"Uh yeah, just worried about what my parents will say." He says.
"I'll explain to them. No worries." I say.
"You sure?" Tyler says.
"Yeah, no worries. I promise." I say.
"Thanks." He says.
I nod and walk alongside Mollie.
"Hey, can I pull you aside real quick?" Mollie says quietly.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" I say slowly walking.
"Uh... You know, never mind." Mollie says and tries to walk off.
"No.. What's wrong?" I say getting serious.
She got my attention, and she's going to act like she doesn't want to tell me something? That's a little suspicious...
"Well, I don't know how well you'll take it?" Mollie says worried.
"I'll take whatever you have to say just fine." I say preparing for the worst.
"I think I'm being blackmailed." Mollie says.
"What?" I say worried.
