A/N-Okay, so I really didn't know how to write this chapter, so I just let it flow through me. I do however need ideas for upcoming chapters because that will help a lot. I do plan to end this story within the next eleven chapters so if I stick to schedule it will be two and half months.
Anyways, I need ideas.
I'm posting early…I hope you don't mind.
Chapter Eleven: Jail Time
After receiving a phone call from the police about their daughters, Brooke, Peyton and Karen made their way up the steps of Tree Hill Police Department.
"I really can't believe this," Brooke sighs out. "I thought Sam was doing so much better." Peyton nods her head in agreement.
Karen chuckles and shakes her head.
"I can believe it. Sam and Grace are you and Peyton, Brooke. It's as simple as that. I do however don't like the fact that whatever Sam and Grace have done has brought my Lilly into it."
Brooke and Peyton turn around with sorry looks on their faces.
"We apologize for our daughters," Peyton says quickly.
"Yeah, I can pretty much guarantee Sam is grounded for like ever."
Peyton stays quiet and makes her way through the doors. Brooke turns to Karen.
"How do you think she will handle it?"
"Like a mother would."
Brooke and Karen enter the doors and make their way to the front desk.

Grace leans her head against the wall and sighs.
"I hate jail."
"Everyone hates jail Grace."
Lilly looks over at Sam and Peyton and then shakes her head.
"You do realize my mom is going to freak out right?"
Sam and Grace glare at Lilly.
"No one is as bad as Brooke, okay?" Sam comments.
"Well I guess I can see how much I am loved," Brooke comments from outside the bars.
Sam looks at Brooke and winces.
"Let's go Samantha."
Sam bumps knuckles with Grace and exits the cell. Karen glances at Lilly and raises an eyebrow. Lilly didn't even have to be told what to do. She exits the cell without looking at Grace. Peyton walks into the cell and Grace looks up when she hears it lock. The officer leaves them alone.
"Why'd you do that for?"
"So, I can talk with you without you running," Peyton says as she takes a seat next to her daughter.
"Maybe I don't want to talk."
"Well I don't care!" Peyton snaps.
Grace crosses her arms against her chest and stays silent.
"What happened, Gracyn?"
"I'm sure the cops told you."
"I don't care what they say. I want to know what you say."
Grace sighs and looks at Peyton.
"I lied."
"I figured as much. It's kind of hard to get arrested at a movie," Peyton says sarcastically. "So, where did you go?"
"We went to a party and I didn't tell you because I didn't feel like it."
Peyton stands up and looks down at her daughter.
"Look, I may be new to this whole thing, but you have to let me know where you are at all times. Do you understand me?"
Grace stands up and walks away from Peyton.
"I don't need a mother. I haven't had one for sixteen years. I don't need one now!"
Peyton grasps Grace's shoulders making her look at her.
"I think that you do. Grace if you didn't need a mother you wouldn't be here right now, in a jail cell that smells like pee."
"I hate you," Grace whispers harshly.
"Good because that means at least you feel something towards me and I'll take hate. I'd rather have love, but I can take hate. I hate myself so it doesn't make a difference."

Karen and Lilly entered the house finding Lucas pacing back and forth in the living room. Lucas looks up when he hears the doors open.
"Where are Grace and Peyton?"
"Talking back at the jail, don't worry Lucas," Karen turns to her daughter and points at the couch. "Sit down and talk to me."
"What happened?" Karen demands once Lilly takes a seat.
"There was a party and we went there. There was drinking, but I didn't drink anything. Anyway, I fight broke out because some guy tried to feel me up," Lilly glances at her mother and brother who were both wearing angry faces. "But one guy helped me. Grace got involved and she punched the guy that tried to do stuff and Sam jumped in to help Grace. And that's when the cops came."
Karen sighs and looks at the clock. It was late and Lilly looked exhausted.
"I have to think about what's going to happen, but why don't you head to bed. I'm sure Peyton and Grace will arrive shortly so you and Grace can talk."
Lilly gets up from the couch and enters Grace's room. Karen and Lucas take a seat on the couch. Karen looks at her son and laughs.
"What's so funny?"
"Peyton has been in that jail cell, you have been in that jail cell. Brooke has been in that jail cell along with Haley. And Nathan has been in that jail cell and I'm pretty sure that Keith was to."
"Our whole family has been in jail."

"I don't want to hate you," Grace murmurs.
"I know Grace. I just hope that we can move past the mistake that I made. I know you hurt every day. I hurt every day, but I can't change the past. I can only make up for it here, right now."
Grace nods her head and hugs Peyton which surprises her.
"I really am sorry about today."
Peyton pulls away and kisses Grace on the forehead.
"I know, but I still have to talk to your father about punishment."
Grace nods her head in understanding.
"I don't like it, but I can accept it."
"Have you ever been grounded before?" Peyton asks out of curiosity.
"Nope," Grace responds. "I guess there's a first time for everything."
Peyton chuckles and nods her head.
"Let's get home kid."
Peyton grabs the officer's attention and he lets them out to go home.
