"I had a fun, even if we are spending the night in here." Veronica tells me and Loren.

We are currently in an empty cell. All three of us together. Since we didn't commit a major crime we just have to spend the night in here. Basically they don't want us driving home drunk.

They confiscated all of our belongings, except for our clothes. They even took V's jewelry. They made Loren take her earrings out.

"Excuse me sir. I'm new to this whole jail thing, but I know I'm supposed to call someone to bail us out." Loren tells the officer sitting at the desk across from us.

Loren is calm now. She had a mini freak out moment, but she is better now.

"No ma'am. You will be released in the morning." He tells her.

"It's a right. We all three have the right to call someone. Taylor over here has connection and can get you fired. So let us call." This time it's Veronica who decides to speak.

The officer looks at me waiting for me to confirm I can indeed get him fired.

"Yes, I can get you fired." I confirm. "My parents are worshipped in this state. Also people are probably worried about us." I tell the man as is chief walks around the corner.

"What's going on here, Davis?"

"This ladies say they have the right to call someone." He tells the man completely ignoring us.

"All right, Davis take a break. I'm going to have a talk with these ladies."

Once Davis is out of sight the man starts talking. "What did you ladies do? I've never seen Davis that aggravated."

Loren and I look over at V. "I just wanted to post that picture on Snapchat. I also want to smoke. Y'all don't have anything around? You know since drug dealers have probably have been in this cell."

"She's still a little tipsy." I tell the man.

"That's exactly why y'all are staying the night. We cannot let you go if you have alcohol or drugs in your system. We have to wait until it is out. We're not going to be responsible for some college kids driving drunk." I respect them for doing that. They save lives, by doing that. "You do not get to call anyone to bail you out because you are not being held on bail. Do you know how many girls we have brought in for rolling that house? Too many. So in the morning you will be released."

"Can we still call someone? Our friends are worried about us, we kinda disappeared."

"Fine. Three calls, one each."

"Who do we call I ask?" The girls

"I'll call Hayden." Loren tells us

"Okay, I'll call Chase."

"I'll call whoever y'all want. My parents are out of state."

"You can call Gabe." Loren tells V.

"Wait! My dog!" At this exact moment I forgot that my dog is stuck in V's car. Poor baby. I'm a horrible mother.

"Let's get to calling." V suggest.

The officer opens the door and leads us all into a room with a phone.

Veronica is first. "What's his number?" I look over at Loren expecting her to know but she doesn't. She looks at me, asking if I know.

"I don't know." She speaks.

"Okay then what about Chase or Hayden?" Veronica asks.

We just stay quiet.

"Come on ladies. I don't have all day." The officer complains.

Veronica and Loren both look at me with a pleading look.

"No!" I yell at them. I know what they want. "I can't. Absolutely not!"

"Please! It's our only chance out of here. I know you know the number." Veronica begs.

"You know I can't V."

"You can." She assured me.

I head over to the phone and pick it up. I dial the number. The number that I had to memorize for school.

"Hello?" A sleepy voice speaks.

"Mom?"

"Taylor? Honey it's three in the morning. What's wrong? Do I need to come down there I will? I will get in the car right now."

"Mom. I'm in jail. The one close to UK. Veronica, Loren and I rolled a frat house. It's no big deal really. I just need you to come pick us up in the morning."

"I'm not coming to pick you up in the morning. I'm coming right now. Put that officer on the phone." She demands.

That's Becca Lawson for you. She thinks her children deserve special treatment. That's why I've always craved to be normal.

That's what makes me different.

"Your mother is on her way, Miss Lawson."

Great what did she say to this man.

"I guess we will text the guys to pick us up from your house in the morning."

"Yeah, I guess so. Hayden will find out your a Lawson." Loren informs me.

"Probably, but I don't care. Just know there will be at least one screaming match. It how us Lawson's role." I tell her honestly.

Veronica just gives me that stupid sympathetic look. I hate when people give me that.

"He's going to freak out like how Chase freaked out."

"Chase didn't freak out. I was sitting right next to him." I reply

"Taylor, he didn't freak out in front of you. I mean why would he do that? He wanted to look cool. He came to me and Nicole freaking out that you were a Lawson. He said it all made sense. Ryan Lawson is Hayden and Chase's idols." She informs me.

I want to gag. My father? Seriously? He's their idol. If only they knew what a shitty person he was.

"You can collect your things up front." The officer tells us as he lets us out.

Great. Just great. So that means my mother is here.

As I walk up front, there she is. Even though it's three in the morning she still managed to put makeup on and a fact dress. My father really screwed her up. She was a farmer's daughter. What the hell happened?

She didn't say anything as we got in the car. Or on the ride home it was silent. She was letting me know I messed up. Once again I'm the screwed up one.

Once we walk inside all hell breaks lose. "What is wrong with you? It's three in the morning. I had to pick you up. Do you know how embarrassing that is? You don't but you never think about the family when you do things. I don't want to see you right now. You know where to go. Veronica show the other girl to the guest room. The whole family will be here tomorrow. We will talk about this."

I want to protest but I know it will only fuel her anger. So, I'll wait until the morning to piss her off.

She called my brothers. She's acting as if I'm relapsing. Which I'm not. I would know if I was.

When I make it to my room. I know that it's not my room. It's an office. I'm haven't been gone a year yet and they're already replacing my room. So I walk to Austin rooms because how dare they change his childhood room. His will be of importance one day.

I pull out my phone and text Chase.

Chase 🏀
Me: I'm alive. I swear. I just saw all the messages you and the guys sent. I'm going to send you two address one is to pick up my dog and the other is where you need to meet us in a couple of hours. We rolled a house if you were wondering. Which you probably were. I'm going to sleep now and enjoy the few hours I get before all hell breaks loose.
