Your POV
Me and Ariel went out to eat breakfast at Denny's, until I get a call from an unknown number.

"Hello" I say

"Y/n?" A familiar voice says

It sounded like.

"Joey?" I ask

"Uh, yeah. Um, me and Charles sorta got into... trouble."

"What kind of trouble?" I ask

"Jail trouble."

"What the hell did you guys do?!" I say

"I'll explain later, can you come and get us?"

I look at Ariel. I sigh.

"Fine. We'll be there soon." I say and hang up.

"We gotta go." I say

"Why? I'm not even done eating my pancakes." She pouts

"Charles and Joey are in trouble." I say

"So?" She says

"So, we have to help them." I say

She rolls her eyes.

"Exactly." I get up and leave the money on the table. We get in the car and drive down to the station.

"Jail?!" Ariel says

I nod my head. We walk in and go to the front desk. The fine was $350. They owe me big time. Joey and Charles are let go.

Charles has guilt written all over his face.

I hug Joey when I see him. He seems shocked but then hugs me back.

"What the hell did you guys do?" I ask

"We kinda punched a guy. Over and over." Joey says awkwardly.

I take a closer look at Joey's face and he has a black eye with a little cut on his cheek. Charles has a cut on his lip.

I cup joeys cheek with my hand. I give him a concerned look.

He removes my hand and holds it in his.

"It's fine, I promise." Joey says

"Is it?" I ask

He hugs me.

"It is."

I sigh in relief.

Me and Joey aren't exactly on good terms, but that doesn't mean I don't care about him.

I let go of our hug. I look at Ariel and she's talking to Charles, he looks close to crying.

"Maybe we should leave them alone." Joey says

"Yeah, probably the best idea." I say

Joey takes my hand and takes me to the car.

"You can take me back to my hotel." I say

Joey shakes his head.

"Nope. I want to spend the day with you. Just me and you." He smiles

"I hope you don't think we're besties for life now." I laugh

"We're not." He says

"Then what are we?" I ask

"Complicated." He says

"Complicated?"

"Yeah. We're not friends nor lovers, so were complicated." Joey says

I nod my head slowly.
