Bailey walked along the footpath with Justin, talking about life. It had been a while since they'd hung out, just the pair of them. It was nice. They were headed back to Justin's apartment, sick of wandering around the town they lived in. The girl opened the door to the stair well, starting up it to the first door on the left. Justin unlocked it and stepped inside, letting her close it behind them.

'Hey, bitch,' Amber Foley greeted.

'Hello, Amber,' She smiled.

'What are you doing here?'

'Hanging out with my bestest friend in the entire world.'

The woman looked at at her with a bored look, earning a smile from the girl.

'Justin, I've told you not to bring sluts home,' Amber looked at her son.

Bailey scoffed, 'As if you can talk.'

'Mum, stop, please,' Justin complained.

She waved him off, watching as he lead Bailey to his bedroom; shutting the door behind him. The girl fell back onto his bed as he sat at his desk, spinning around in his desk chair. She smiled over at him as she sat up, leaning back into the mattress.

'Your mother loves me,' She chuckled.

'Sure,' Justin scoffed.

'She does. She just doesn't know how to show it.'

He sent her a pointed look, before laughing with her as she threw her head back. Bailey picked up her phone as it began to ring beside her, smiling when she saw Drew's ID.

'Drewy,' She greeted.

'Where are you?' His voice replied with anger.

'Justin's. Why?'

'I'm coming to get you. Meet me out the front.'

'What's going on? Drew?'

She pulled her phone away from her ear with furrowed brows, the screen black.

'The arsehole hung up on me,' She exclaimed.

'What's going on?' He asked.

'Drew's mad and I haven't got a clue why.'

'Bad day?'

'We're about to find out. He's coming to pick me up.'

'Now?'

'Yup. And our day hasn't even started. Hey, why don't you call Zee, cause he's been off lately, and we'll hit up the courts this afternoon? Or the movies?'
