CHAPTER NINE:
marcie was in jackson's car since lydia invited her to hang out with them.
jackson dialed allison's number since she was waiting for scott but he never showed.
"lydia says we're coming to get you." jackson told her.
"please don't i'm sure he's on his way. he's only... 26 minutes late." allison said.
"you hear that? first, it's he's only 26 minutes late, a month later it's he only hits me when he's drunk. slippery slope, allison. slippery slope." lydia said.
"brutal but true." marcie said.
"we're picking you up." jackson said.
"no." allison said.
"too late." jackson said pulling up beside her in her driveway.
allison hung up and jackson rolled the window down once allison approached the car.
"lydia gets what lydia wants. come on, get in. we can stop by his place and see if he's there." jackson said just as allison got a text.
"text from scott?" marcie asked.
"is that him with the best explanation ever of why he's half a freaking hour late?" lydia asked.
"not exactly." allison replied before she got into the backseat with marcie.
allison showed them that scott had told her to meet him at the school and that it was urgent.

jackson finally pulled up at the school and he let allison and marcie out of the car.
"what're they doing here anyway?" jackson asked.
"all i got was this." allison said showing him the text.
"they lock the doors at night, you know." lydia told her.
"that ones open." allison said pointing to the front door that was wide open.
"oh, boy." marcie said.
"you don't need me to state the obvious, right?" jackson asked.
"that it looks like they broke into the school? no, pretty obvious." allison said.
