By the time we get to Kentucky we have an hour and an half before the game. The guys need to get to the arena. The team has been here since yesterday morning.

Coach Carson let them come up with us.

My emotions are eating me alive.

I hate Kentucky and I hate everyone here. Except for Seth.

"You ready?" Loren asks from beside me as the car comes to a stop. We're outside the arena. This is scary. It's like I'm living in a nightmare.

"I don't really have another option." I tell her before sliding out of the car and looking at the arena that holds a lot of memories.

"Welcome to Kentucky or should I say hell?" I tell everyone as we head inside.

Since Coach Carson is an amazing person. He has allowed me and Loren to sit inside, until game time. So we don't have to walk around campus. That's the absolute last thing I want to do.

I may be in a miserable mood but I still notice the small things. Like how Hayden is holding Loren's hand. They were literally just arguing thirty minutes ago.

I have full blown anxiety as I walk in this place.

"We need to head to the locker room. Are y'all going to be okay?" Gabe asks

"Yes, Gabe. We will be fine. I'm going to find Coach Carson and Loren is coming with me."

Once they walk off. I notice we're getting dirty looks from the concession stand workers. "It's because our shirts say UNC." Loren points out noticing the dirty looks too.

"We have some time before the game right?" I ask

"Yeah, but..." she pauses. I can tell she's debating whether or not to tell me something. "I hate lying." She admits.

"Spit it out."

"Chase wants me to keep an eye on you."

"Seriously! I'm not a fragile child."

"I know and I told him that you would be mad."

"Hell right I'm mad."

"What did you want to do?" She asks intrigued.

"Steal my dog back and maybe roll a fraternity house." I admit.

"We can't!"

"Yes we can. I know girls who would help."

"How?"

"I have this idiot ex boyfriend. Who may have slept with half the population of sorority girls. There's this whole support group for girls who have dated Jake. I can just send a message and girls will show up. We just have to buy the toilet paper."

"Who has your dog?"

"My parents."

"Taylor! I don't want to go to jail! Your parents will put me in jail. I will go to prison for breaking into The Lawson's House."

"Please!" I give her my best puppy dog eyes.

"Fine! Ugh! I hate you!" She yells

"You know you love me. Also I'll send out the message you go get the car keys. Don't tell them where we are going." She just nods before walking away.

I'm jumping for joy on the inside. I miss my baby. When I left for college I had to leave her behind. With my parents of all people? So now I'm going to steal her. She is mine after are.

I also have someone I can text. My only friend left in Kentucky.

Veronica Garcia. The baddest bitch I know.

Veronica-
V, I'm in Kentucky. "Girls on a Mission" is back. Meet me at the Family Dollar by that creepy biker bar.

Girls on a Mission was a Skylar, Veronica, and Taylor thing. Anytime we had a bad idea that's what it was called.

I know Veronica will show because she's the only girl I still keep in contact with. We talk weekly.

I then send another message.

Jake Thomas Support Group-
Who wants to roll Jake's frat house? Think about how many times he's cheated on you, led you on, or broke your heart. I will provide the toilet paper all you have to do is show up in an hour. You will still make the game. Please a sister needs help. This is a support group for a reason ladies! Support a sister!

I said support a sister because that's what will really bring the girls. They are all sorority girls. They loved to be referred to as a sister.

Before I can put my phone in my back pocket it dings.

V: I got you Taylor. See you at the Family Dollar. Girls on a Mission now activated!!!!

"Hey so bad news." Loren says bringing me out of my phone. "What's wrong?"

"Hayden is being an a jerk and won't let me have the keys. He wants me to tell him why. I can't. So I just came back. Tell me you have a plan b?"

"I think I do."

T: Change of plans. Can you pick me and a friend up from the basketball arena?
V: You know I got you. Be there in 5. I'm right around the corner.

"I have a plan b. Let's go outside. Also don't think I didn't catch you two holding hands walking in."

"I don't know what to tell you Taylor. He keeps leading me on. I think once we get back, I'll be finally over him. I can't be with him when he's not a hundred percent into me."

"That's smart and good for your heart."

"Hola Taylor!" Veronica in her white Jeep pulls up with Post Malone playing on the radio.

"V!"

"Get your ass in the car Taylor."

"I never thought I see your face here ever again."

"Here I am! This is Loren my friend and roommate at UNC."

Yes, I called a her friend. I can finally consider her and Nicole as my friends.

"Hi."

"Hello Loren."

"Get in operation Girls on a Mission is a go. What are you doing here?"

"Well at the moment I want to steal my dog and roll Jake's frat house. I'm here for Seth though, but to be honest I'm not here for him anymore. I'm here for me. To close old wounds I guess, and I only know one way to do it."

V can get me to open up. To her I'm an open book.

"Any news on the Support Group?" Loren asks from the back seat.

"Yeah apparently it's a no bad ideas support group. The leader Carmen said they are positive people and do not condone violence, so they will not come. We are on our own."

"That's fine. We work better alone. Not let's go get Dixie."

"Who's Dixie?" Loren asks

"My dog."

Veronica starts her "Girls on a Mission" playlist. This playlist made us feel superior. It always has. Taylor Swift comes on first ...Ready For It? This is the first song, but by the last we are fully hyped. That's how it's always gone.

Once we pull up to the gate at my parents neighborhood. I see my favorite man Barry.

"Barry! It's Taylor!"

"Taylor! How are you?"

"Fabulous!"

"Go on in. Your parents went to Seth's game."

"I just need to pick up a shirt for the game and then I'm heading there. No need to inform them."

"Sure."

Our house in the third towards the back. "Damn. The Lawson's live large."

"We sure do."

"So how do we get it?" V ask as she pulls up on the road.

"Walk on the outside on the property line. I don't want the motion censored cameras to catch us." I pause thinking of how we are going to get over the fence. "Cheerleader toss me over the fence. Or whatever it was called." I tell V because she was a cheerleader.

Loren looks lost. "Basket toss position?" Veronica asks looking at me.

"V. I did volleyball and basketball. Please tell me why you're asking me?"

"You helped me practice. Let's just toss Loren over the fence." She suggests.

"I don't know how to get in your house."

"Just unlock the gate from the inside."

"Fine! But if I go to jail you're paying my bail."

"Agreed but you won't go to jail. I use to live here remember."

"Key word use to." She says as we toss her over the gate. She lands with a hard hit on the ground.

"You okay?" Veronica and I yell over.

"No I'm dead." She pauses. "Y'all there's a dog. Right by me. I think we don't have to go inside." She opens the gate and my doggy runs into my arms.

"Hi baby. I missed you."  Once I hug my dog I pick her up and we start heading to the car.

"Part Two is a go." Loren says in her best spy voice. Which makes me and V laugh because she's sounds British.

"So girls, I've already loaded the car. I made a stop before I picked y'all up. I think we should more than roll this house. I bought toilet paper, confetti poppers, and eggs." V tells us as we park a few houses down from the fraternity.

"I'm not thinking this is a good idea anymore." I admit.

"I knew that would happen so before we do our absolute worst, have a drink. Loren open that ice chest next to you. We need some liquid courage."

Loren hands me a Vodka bottle. I look over at Veronica. "Seriously?" She just gives me the same look, she would give me anytime I would back try to back out on a mission. "I knew you'd need liquid courage. Come on we're all going to need it. So take a good, long, sip."

"I hate this." I confess before taking a sip and passing the bottle to Veronica. Veronica takes the longest sip, then passes it to Loren. "I don't need a buzz to do this. This is a bucket list item." She confesses before taking a sip.

After about thirty minutes of drinking whatever the hell V has in her ice chest, I'm finally ready. "Let's go girls" I put Dixie in the back seat and we all get out and head to the back of the car.

"Alright lets take all of this over there, so we don't have to run back and forth. Loren carry the eggs. Taylor take the confetti poppers. I'll grab the toilet paper."

Once we have everything in the yard we get to work. First we roll. They don't have fence so we can roll the back yard too.

When we are finally satisfied with the job we did and we're out of toilet paper, we start walking around popping confetti.

Loren is the first to throw an egg. She does it so wrong too. She throws it on the ground. "Loren an egg won't damage a brick house." I tell her.

"Throw it like you mean it." Veronica tells her. Loren's second egg lands on the window and slides down it leaving a streak.

I throw an egg and it lands on the door.

Veronica throws one and it lands on one of the cars here.

"This is why I was a cheerleader. My aim sucks!" Veronica admits after a fifth eggs lands on the ground.

Once we're done we look at our masterpiece.

"Perfect." I tell the girls.

"We should take a picture in front of it. Once y'all are in North Carolina, I'll print out the picture and mail it. The campus cops are so lazy they won't chase after y'all to UNC." Veronica suggests

"What about you?" Loren asks

"I'll be on a family vacation. I'll be across the border. They sure as hell won't chase me there."

"Okay then let's do it. I would love for Jake to know I rolled his frat house." I admit.

We all turn around to get in selfie position but instead are met with a surprise.

"Lazy huh?" A female cop looks over at her male partner.

"I didn't think we were lazy." The man tells the lady.

"We didn't do it!" Loren yells out. She's so scared. Her face has lost all of the color that was in it.

"Loren chill." I tell her. "They're campus police they can't arrest us, we don't go here." I clarify for her.

"We can arrest you." The lady snaps. "But, since this one." She points at V. "Said we are lazy. We decided, we are lazy. So we called the cops and they are on the way." She tells us in the bitchy tone ever.

"Will you take a picture of us?" Veronica has been silent this whole time and when she finally says something she decides to ask that.

The male officers who is the nicer one takes her phone from her. "Sure, only because this is evidence." He says we get together and put a smile on our face.

As soon as the picture is taken. A cop car pulls up. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?"

"These three ladies were vandalizing this house." Veronica goes to speak but is shushed by the female officer.

"All right ladies, hands behind your backs. Y'all get to spend the rest of the night at the station."

____
Loren is sitting in between me and Veronica in the back of a cop car.

Loren, Veronica, and I are shocked. We didn't think we would actually get arrested. We thought it would a warning and we would be told to clean up.

Loren is freaking out. "Jail! Jail! Spend the night! Jail!" She's a stammering mess.

Veronica is buzzed and won't stop asking the officer for her phone. "Sir, I would love to post that photo. Can I have my phone? Please! Please! The followers on Insta and Snapchat want to see it!"

I'm the only normal one. The only reason I'm not freaking out is because I don't have to run into anybody I know.
