Chapter 15: Count On You

Jason and Caroline walk around in the hallway from school when Caroline is kinda worried about what day Jason is coming back to town after Thanksgiving weekend. He was surprised to come back after Thanksgiving Day. Perhaps, they are still stuck together until he leaves the town tonight. When Tucker paid his son for the plane ticket from the other day.

Tony and Haley chilled in the library while they were waiting for the next session in the cafeteria.

Haley: I heard my parents were coming to your house and we have a Thanksgiving dinner together. *smiles*

Tony: I'm very happy when we spend more time during Thanksgiving.

Haley: Not gonna lie, it just brings some biscuit or even cornbread.

Tony: I love both of them.

Haley: Tony, you gritty.

Tony: Why would I not eat it and let my stomach empty whenever my body goes down?

Haley: I'm just messing with you. It's not your fault. I'm just being honest with you when we have sex right after dinner.

Tony: Interesting.

After school, Kennedy chilling at the lake alone when someone came to the lake, it was Kevin. He sits next to her and feels the water on his feet since he joined with her.

Kevin: What's up?

Kennedy: What's up?

Kevin: Is beautiful, right?

Kennedy: Yeah. *looking at the water*

Later that night, Mia practiced for the winter performance she was writing another song in the notebook when she thought of her brain until she got a call from Arthur and answered it.

Mia: Hey babe, what's up?

Arthur: What are you doing?

Mia: I'm writing more songs for the winter concert.

Arthur: Pretty much as you keep going throughout your career.

Mia: One time, I needed to do something when I signed the contract for my music. Even when I'm gonna do that, feel free to will to embark on the career.

Arthur: That was a coincidence but did you tell your family about it?

Mia: Not yet. I don't want to tell them until we graduate together. Arthur, that's who I am.

Arthur: Whenever you have to chance, it's really hard to say that bullshit.

Mia: Bullshit?

Arthur: I'm just keeping your attention.

Mia: Yeah but don't say that shit to me that way. This is my life and I want to be here in New York.

Arthur: Are you going to New York in college?

Mia: Yeah. I got accepted to NYU.

Arthur: Mia, that's a big news! I'm very proud of you.

Mia: *smiles*

Arthur: Do you know everything was set for the Thanksgiving dinner at the large gym tomorrow night?

Mia: I heard about that, I'll be there with my parents.

Arthur: *hearing*

Mia: What has it gotten into your mind this time?

Arthur: I don't know. It's been intuition.

The next night at Thanksgiving, some people are gathering at the table in the large gym except for Jason. Whether more people were invited to the Thanksgiving dinner for the event for one night when Arthur and the gang already came in including their parents as they talked to each other.

Eddie: I want you to guys meet Jennifer and Steve McClain. Guys, this is Bill, Lola, and Simon. You already know Tucker and the rest of them.

Jennifer: Nice to meet you both.

Simon: Always a pleasure.

Alex: How's your health doing? *looks at Tucker*

Tucker: Pretty good. I ain't giving no rush to drink so many damn alcohol. I'll just let it myself cool down. *drinks the water*

Heidi: Also, congratulations on your job for the 9-1-1 operations.

Tucker: Listen, I've been taking the police course from a different way back in the day. It just takes a picture of me rolling in my life.

Heidi: OK...

Eddie: So, Amy, Jennifer, and I were finished cooking over an hour ago we just want to keep their food way hotter.

Steve: I can be the authority for ones.

Jennifer: Really?

Steve: Yeah.

Mia: Arthur, ready for the championship game tomorrow?

Arthur: I am. Remember I just told you that I can give a team to share our gold.

Mia: That will be the perfect idea.

Arthur: I can imagine that...I would get a scholarship so that I can play college football.

Mia: I'll always be watching you. Trust me.

Arthur: *nods*

Mia: *kisses his cheek*

Zach: Where's Jason? *looks at Talia*

Talia: He spending his grandparents' house in Georgia.

Zach: Oh. The only thing I see his father is here alone. Next time, someone should play the music.

Talia: Relax, Zach. I got my phone with Pandora Internet Radio. I will plug it into my phone.

Zach: I'm counting on you.

Two strangers Hocker and Wendy come to the gym and they look around at the people who gathering the food on the table. It seems like both of them are gonna stay here longer when they giving any person for surprise right after eating.

While both of them walking to the building, Hocker bumped Steve accidentally and sniffed Lola's hair quickly while kept walking with Wendy, she told Lola to say, "I'll handle him".

Steve: I don't know what the fuck is up with him.

Jennifer: Don't worry about it. Same energy remember?

Steve: I get it. Let's concentrate on the dinner.

Jennifer: *smiles a bit and kisses him*

Steve: *kisses her back*

Haley: *looking at Lola and Simon talking to each other*

Tony: What's wrong?

Haley: I don't hate when they stuck to the relationships but we can't be siblings.

Tony: I agree it's getting too difficult how long do they get along with a slow build?

Haley: *looks at Tony and kisses him*

Tony: *kisses her back*

Haley: Do you feel better, now?

Tony: Yeah.

Albert and Sara: *walks over to Tony and Haley*

Tony: What's up, Al?

Albert: What's goody? I ain't seen you for a while.

Tony: I know, I'm just trying to focus so that I can get out of the town after graduating.

Albert: It's guaranteed to wipe out bad influence when you are a normal person before you change a different attitude.

Tony: Somehow.

Sara: Is this your girlfriend?

Tony: This is Haley. Haley, this is my friends from the gym, Sara, and Albert.

Haley: Hi. *smiles at them*

Albert and Sara: *smiles*

Arthur: *looks around until he sees Hocker take out the gun and put it behind the table while walking around slowly*

Mia: Hey, are you OK?

Arthur: Yeah.

Mia: It doesn't seem you weren't OK. Tell me the truth.

Arthur: *whispers in her ear* I've seen some dude got a gun on the table.

Sara: *whispers* What the hell...are you sure?

Arthur: *whispers* Just shut the fuck up and don't say a word.

Sara: *whispers* OK.

Later, everyone is eating the food until Talia gets up from the chair when she finishes the food while Arthur is looking right through the eye at Talia next to Hocker and Wendy at the table. Hocker and Wendy get up and try to capture Talia while Hocker points the gun at Talia, everybody gets up until Arthur and Zach break them up.

Arthur: Don't do it! Everyone stands back.

Wendy: *takes out the gun and shoots Zach's leg*

Joel: No!

Wendy: This is what you deserved.

Talia: Oh my god...*checking on Zach*

Hocker: *shoots in the air with the gun for one bullet*

All: *looking at Hocker and Wendy*

Hocker: You know what I think, kid? You tried to save the town.

Arthur: What are you talking-

Hocker: Shut the fuck up! I can say what the fuck I wanna do! I run this town! This is my world!

Arthur: What are you gonna do? Are you gonna shoot me right in front of these people? Thanksgiving Day is not safe for you.

Hocker: I'm only gonna pull you the trigger if you don't shut your fucking mouth. Now, I'm here to collect the money.

Zach: *moves back a bit*

Talia: Don't move.

Hocker: Make sure his blood coming out more.

Tucker: *shoots his leg with the gun for surprise*

Hocker: Shit!

Arthur: *punches his face harder*

Eddie: Run to the office! Go! Go!

All: *running to the office*

Eddie: Lock the door!

Mia: *tried to take the gun away from Wendy*

Haley: *helping with Mia*

Wendy: Get the fuck off of me!

Haley and Mia: *pushed her to the table and the food making a mess*

Mia: Take that little bitch.

Jennifer: *found Hocker's gun and pointed the gun at Hocker* STOP! Step away from my son! I have the right to protect myself against intruders, with deadly force. So, unless you want me to use it, you have exactly five seconds to get the hell out of here.

Hocker: *helps Wendy up and leaves the building slowly*

Jennifer: One. Two. Three. Four.

Hocker and Wendy: *leaving*

Jennifer: *puts the gun away* Lock the door behind them and let's call the police.

Mia: Ms. McClain, I'm obsessed.

Steve: Yeah. My hot wife.

Arthur: Mom, since when are you, Dirty Harry?

Jennifer: That's my job. *blowing the gun and puts on her pants from behind*

Arthur: Let's clean up the food and we can eat the rest of this food.

All: OK.
