Cat's POV

"Playing hard to get, well, I'll make you come out," Adam said. He held something up to my face. What was he holding? A piece of paper. With writing. Oh! Maybe I should read it…

Cat, Say "Ouchy!"

"Ouchy!" I blurted. Andre palmed his forehead behind me. Suddenly, Josie and Tori came out with two guns.

"Don't you dare touch Cat!" Tori yelled, and Jade and Annabelle rushed from behind them to come and examine me to make sure no harm was done. Adam held his hands up in surrender.

"Okay. Okay! Don't shoot," Adam said, glancing back and forth between Tori and Josie. I giggled. It was funny seeing two 115 pound girls scare a 215 pound guy.

"We won't. But we for sure are turning you in," Tori said, gaining confidence and walking to the telephone on the wall.

"Please no. I promise I will move to the other side of the planet and never interact with you again! I can't go to prison! It's not my fault!" Adam yelled, tears forming. Tori looked up at him.

"Please explain," she ordered. Adam sighed.

Adams POV

I sighed. I had to explain my whole freaking life story to these kids.

"About three years ago, I killed a man," I started. Tori gasped.

"That's it, I'm calling," Tori said, picking up the phone. I grabbed her wrist, but let go when Josie pointed the gun at me.

"Please let me explain," I begged. She nodded.

"It was an accident. I was drunk, and my friend was making out with my girlfriend. I picked a fight with him, and well, a shove to the concrete and he was dead. My girlfriend freaked and called 911, so I ran, knowing I would be charged with murder."

Tori nodded slowly. "But it would be manslaughter, which sounds the worst but is usually only charged two years in prison, because it is accidental death. Now you would probably be charged 20 years for manslaughter, kidnapping, running from authorities, death threats, and I'm sure there's more." Tori explained. I sighed. She was right. I never wanted this to get out of hand. It's funny how a few beers can change your life.

"Hey Adam." Jade spoke up. I glanced at her.

"Yeah?"

"I get it. My mom was charged with manslaughter because she got in a fight with my dad and threw a broken vase at his head, and well yeah. It was an accident. But my mom was so horrified with herself, she turned herself in. She only has 2 more months in prison, and she was only charged 2 years. It's an accident, but you have to suffer the consequences," she said….sympathetically? Certainly not an emotion I'd expect from her, but Annabelle and Beck didn't look surprised at her nice gesture.

Josie nodded. "Hey Adam, how about we turn you in, you plead guilty, but we only charge you with kidnapping, no death threats. They will probably charge you with manslaughter, so you're looking at 5-10 years in prison, but that's not nearly as bad as it could be." She said. I thought about it. I might as well come clean. I can't run anywhere, and if I plead not guilty, then they will charge even more on me.

I nodded sadly thinking about the next 10 years. "Okay. Call the cops."

Tori dialed 911, explained the situation to her dad, and then hung up.

"They're on their way."

We all awkwardly stood there. I looked down at Cat who was staring at me with big eyes. She leaned up to whisper in my ear.

"Adam, what you're doing is really good. Maybe in 10 years, after you're out of prison, we can be friends again," she smiled. I laughed. I always liked Cat.

"Sure thing," I said, leaning down to kiss her forehead. There was a pounding at the door.

"This is the police!"

Tori rolled her eyes and opened the door to see her dad standing there with three officers. HE located me and roughly pinned my hands behind my back. I felt the handcuffs snap around my wrist, and I was dragged into the hallway. One of the policemen walked me down the stairs and into the lobby, where Estaban was also being arrested. I sighed and climbed into the back of the caged car. The mistakes I made…

Josie's POV

I honestly felt bad for him, but everyone had to face the consequences of their mistakes. It's part of life. I couldn't help but turn to Tori and squeeze her, happy she's back.

"Tori, I can't believe all that!" I whispered into her ear. She nodded.

"I know. It felt weird being kidnapped. You see it in papers and movies, but it feels so different to actually have it happen to you." I nodded.

I heard faint sniffling and I turned around to see Cat crying.

"Aw, Cat, what's wrong?" I asked.

"I love him."

Everybody's heads snapped up. I mean, I felt bad for him, but I could never LOVE someone who killed another man!

"You do?" Roxy said softly.

Cat nodded. Roxy came over to give Cat a hug, and Annabelle followed. I shrugged, and me and Tori latched ourselves on to the group, followed by Robbie and Andre, then Beck and Jade.

We all latched on to the moment. We were the best of friends, and we could defeat anything if we set our mind to it. We all played an equal part in helping Tori.

Fin.
