High School

twenty-nine

Ariel called Loren to see if charles and Joey we're still at the strip club.

She said "they shouldn't be leaving any time soon."

Me and Ariel gather supplies and stuff it in a duffel bag. Yeah, um, totally not sketchy.

She has a key to their room. We drive over to their hotel room. We get inside and get to work. First I mess up both of their beds. Ariel gets charles clothes and throws them in the shower and turns the shower on. I throw Joey's in there.

Ya know. Just for the hell of it. Me and Ariel had messed up their room, soaked their clothes in water, along with their shoes. Ariel printed out all of the pictures of her and charles. 238 photos. Wow.

She ripped them up and left them all over the ground.

We both leave with pride. I could tell Ariel felt good.

We go back to our hotel. It's about nine. Hey, scandal takes time.

I don't know why they weren't at they're hotel at nine in the morning.

Last night~ ( from now on in this chapter, it'll be from charles, and Joey's POV)

Charles POV-

Joey got here this morning. The only reason he came was because of y/n. He said he needed to be away from her. I don't know why, but I will soon.

We've both just been watching movies. "Hey char! I got an idea." Joey sits up excitedly.

"What is it?" I ask

"A guys night out!" He says

I think for a minute. A guys night is kinda what I need, but I really don't want to leave Ariel. The whole point of this trip is to be spending time with my girl.

"I don't know pal, I'll have to ask Ariel." I say

"Ask Ariel?" Joey mocks me.

"You don't have to ask permission to go out." He laughs.

"You wouldn't understand Joey." I laugh

"Oh yeah? Why not?" He says

"You've never been in a relationship." I smirk.

He gives me a death stare.

"Well, I was close to getting into one. So I do know!" He says

"you don't know anything." I say

"i do know" He says

"leave" I say

"no." he says

"i want you out now!" i yell

We both laugh.

"But seriously, bro, you need this, I need this." He says almost convincing.

I grab my phone and call Ariel.

"Hello?" She says

"Hey, baby!" I say

"Hey baby!" She says

"I have a question." I say

"What's up?" She says

"Well, Joey suggested on having a guys night out, and I want to go...but I wanna make sure it's okay with you." I say

"Of course, baby." She says

"Really?" I ask

"Really" she responds

"Okay, well I'm gonna get ready, so goodnight baby. I love you." I say

"Okay, have fun, I love you too." She says

When I press the end call button, Joey jumps on me all happy and squealing.

"Okay chill bro." I laugh.

Me and Joey get ready.

Joey's driving us. I don't know where we're going.

We arrive at the first stop.

Joey leads the way. I look for a sign. Nope.

Joey walks up to a tall big man who's looks like he's guarding a door.

"Yo, whatup ben?!" Joey and the big guy do a bro shake.

The man moves aside and lets me and Joey inside the building. When I enter I smell alcohol and smoke. Not cigarettes. Smoke.

"Joey what the heck!" I say

"What?" He says as if he didn't do anything wrong.

I look around and see girls literally naked dancing on tables, with men watching them and whistling.

I put the pieces together.

"A strip club?!" I say

"Hell yeah man!" He says

Joey goes over to a group of familiar faces. Their in a booth and a stripper in the middle of them dancing.

I see Jacob, Blake, Cameron Dallas, and Taylor Holder.

"Aye my boy charles!" Tayler says

"Whassup." I say

I sit down in the booth with Joey. I look up and see the woman who's WAY older than me dance. Once she noticed me, she smiles.

"Looks like she likes you" Taylor says.

"I got a girl." I say

"Have some fun." Cameron laughs

The dancer gets off the stage and takes my hand. She takes me into a room.

Joey's POV

The dancer took charles into a room. I try getting up but Cameron pushes me back down.

"Let him have fun." He laughs

"Fun? If cheating is what you call fun, then your sick!" I say

I get up and go to the door charles went in. Until I get stopped by a man.

"You need a dancer to get in." He says

I roll my eyes.

I look for a dancer. I find one and ask for a dance.

I go into the room. I scan the room for charles. I spot him.

He's receiving a lap dance from a dancer. He seems to be enjoying it.

I walk over to him and pull him off the couch.

"Broo, what the hell?" Charles says

He's drunk and high.

"Are you serious?" I say

"I'm having fun, back off." Charles sits back down and calls the dancer.

I pull him off the couch and take him out of the room. I put his arm around my shoulder. I go to the exit door and try leaving, until I get stopped.

"You didn't pay"

"Pay for what!" I say

"The dance."

"I didn't get a dance from anyone, so I'm not paying shit." I say

"Your not leaving, until you pay."

I don't know what came over me. I wasn't in the mood. So I punch him, and he immediately punches back.

Charles punches him over and over again. We both do. Until security grabs us, and takes us to the managers office.

He calls the police, and they come and cuff us.

They take us to the station. This night was a bad idea.

They told us they're keeping us all night until tomorrow. Someone has to come and get us.
