"i'm sorry, you cannot go any further than here. please relax in our waiting room." a nurse stopped jack g, rebecca and i from following johnson into his room at the hospital.

jack let out a loud sigh, rubbing his hands over his face and turning around to sit in one of the chairs. i took a seat next to him and put my hand on his right knee for comfort.

"he'll be fine, jack. it wasn't that serious. just a few cuts here and there i'm sure."

"his head hit the floor, rilee. what if he has a concusion or something?" jack looked me in the eyes, speaking roughly towards me.

"concusions heal, okay?", i ran my fingers through his hair, "i'm gonna go see if rebecca is okay, she went outside."

i found rebecca sitting against the outside of the hospital, her head in her knees.

"it's chilly out here, why dont you come inside?" i asked quietly.

rebecca lifted her head to look at me, "did the nurse say anything?"

i shook my head, biting down on my bottom lip, "no but, he'll be fine. i know he will."

rebecca looked like she was going to say something when gilinsky leaned outside of the door, "the doctor came back."

we ran back inside and over to the front desk, "jack is still passed out, he hit his head pretty hard, but luckily there is no damage done. he'll just have a migrane for a couple days. the glass table he landed on did in fact cut through his clothes, but we are working on stiching the cuts closed."

"w-when do you think we'll be able to see him?" jack asked.

"once we are finished, son." the doctor smiled before walking away.

"we must look like idiots wearing these type of clothes in a hospital and our makeup all messed u-"

"i got here as quick as i could, is he okay?" sam interrupted me, running through the hospital doors and over to us.

i zoned out while jack explained to him what the doctor just told us. i could already feel like awkward tension between sam and i although he didn't even know i saw him kissing that other girl.

jack took rebecca over to the seats leaving sam and i alone.

"you okay?" he asked breaking the silence.

i felt my whole body tremble, "y-yeah, just worried about johnson." i forced a small smile, stepping past sam but he grabbed my wrist gently before i could walk any further.

"why are you crying?" he stepped closer so our bodies were inches apart, taking his thumb and wiping a tear off my cheek.

i didn't even realize i was crying, i was completely numb all over. "it was a horrific scene back there, i mean-"

"rilee, you never cry over things. ever. unless you're heart broken." sammy's voice softened.

i took in a deep breath preparing to ramble things off to him but a deep voice behind us all silenced me,

"i'm going to need the kids from Westside High School to step outside with me." a police officer spoke.

i exchanged a look with jack and rebecca completely scared out of my mind with what the police wanted to do with us - based off of the fact i've had bad history with some cops...

"we are aware some kids back at the school were drinking, were any of you with them at the time this incident happened?" the officer asked us once we gathered next to his car.

the red and blue lights were shining on to us so it wasn't pitch dark where we stood, "i-i was downstairs when i saw the whole thing happened, but i wasn't with them." i spoke quietly glancing at his name tag and then at his face, he gave me a weird look like i was lying to him.

officer matthews wrote down what i said in a notepad, "and your name is?"

"rilee hope."

he stopped moving his pen, "hope?"

i nodded, "is your mother by any chance elizabeth hope?"

jack, sam and rebecca all turned towards me, their eyes almost popping out of their heads. i cleared my throat awkwardly, "yes she is my mom ... do you know her?"

officer matthews chuckled slightly, "well my brother sure does.."

my eyebrows furrowed, what the fuck was that? a messed up sex joke?

"my brother is ryan matthews." he spoke.

i felt my heart beat a little faster, "o-oh."

"i am going to have to ask you to take a seat in my car, please."

"wait you can't be serious. she wasn't drinking." gilinsky tried to argue me out of going down to the police station.

"well if i stand correctly we have had past problems with rilee. encounters with smoking weed, three speeding tickets are on her record, shop liftin-"

"you shop lifted?" sam interrupted.

"i-"

"yes she did. nine months ago. now please get into the car, rilee." officer whatever the hell his last name was, motioned towards his police car.

"um sir, you're going to have to take me too." jack spoke with his hands behind his back.

"why?"

"jack." i said under my breath now sitting in the backseat of the car.

"i've done those things as well.."

○

leaving the hospital with rebecca way past confused and sam watching us drive off speechless was another favorite part of this amazing night. *eye roll*

officer matthews called our parents once we made it down to the police station.

"get ready to be grounded for eternity." jack whispered almost a split second before my mom, ryan, and jack's dad busted through the doors.

"what is going on here?" my mom asked, marching over to the seats jack and i were sitting in.

"i can answer that question for you, ms." ryan's brother walked over to us five with a clip board in his hands, "tonight at the prom student jack johnson was taken to the hospital unconscious from a fight with a few other drunk students. i went to the hospital and asked rilee, jack and their two other friends for some more information on the event. long story short your kids have been involved with doing drugs and shop lifting in the past year."

david, jack's dad looked over at us shocked, i'm guessing he didn't know about either of those things.

whoops

"well this isn't the first time i have talked to my daughter about drugs, but shop lifting? rilee what has gotten into you?"

"actually may i say, the shop lifting was mainly under jack's records, rilee was just with him at the time."

yeah thank you officer dumbass. that helps so much.

"i will allow you to talk to them seperately, you may take them home."

well shit.

that is really all i have to say about this chapter, oops.

thank you for being active, it means so much considering the amount of work i put into these chapters :) it honestly takes about three hours to write, proof read, find a gif, read it over & then publish it.

i have a million ideas for this story so bare with me on the updates. i like to minimize the chapters to about a thousand words, but i'm going to be busy with school these next few weeks. so i'll definitely write when i can :)
