Something flashed through my eyes as I began to regain consciousness, something really bright.

“Wake up, are you going to be unconscious forever” I heard Jaxx groan as he kept waving something at my eye.

I immediately regret opening my eyes as a flashlight was waved across my face, never minding my now throbbing head.

I groaned in pain as I sat up to from at Jaxx who instead of minding me, flung two Advil pills at me.

I didn’t even bother scolding him, not that I had the energy to. My brain was literally on fire!

It wasn’t until swallowing the pills did I remember the cause of my headache so I looked to my left to see a sheepish looking Harlan, looking extremely scared.

“You-”

Unfortunately, I was interrupted by Matt who begged on his behalf “please no. extremely stupid of him? I agree but chill”

Surprising both myself and the guys, I sat back and rest my head on the chair to let the drugs have effect. I then noticed Stephanie at the back of the van, pressing her phone away like nothing was happening.

She then noticed my staring and looked up “Used to it” she shrugged.

Weirdos. It’s literally 2am for God’s sake ugh!

I spoke up tiredly amidst the silence “Where are we going to now”

Henry sighed as he drove “Well we were supposed to go somewhere but my stupid twin decided it was alright to give a toddler a fifty thousand dollars ring to a toddler while in the playground. Now the ring is stuck inside a playground tunnel so yeah, we are going to the playground”

“Jesus, you woke me up for this?” I whisper-shouted.

“We do stupid things for a living, deal with it” Harlan whispered but to the hearing of the rest as Jaxx immediately countered saying “Not me and you boy”

After almost losing our way twice, we got to the park. The freaking park.

“Thanks guys, let me go get it. I’ll be right back” Harlan said before running off but he was stopped by Matt.

“You dumbass, how do you intend on getting through that stuff with your body”

He actually had a point. Harlan had a big frame and if he tried going through those tubes, he’ll definitely get stuck.

I looked up and suddenly, everyone’s eyes were on me “What” I asked.

“You’re small you can fit” Chris encouraged.

“Hell no” I refused.

“Please” Harlan begged. I shook my head. No way in Heaven was I going to do that.

“Ask Steph ugh” I said but I thought again. She was never going to fit.

“Harlan, go do what you want to do. I’m fucking bored out here” Jaxx complained as he lifted his head from his phone.

I wonder how they are all friends.

Eventually, Harlan left to get it considering the fact that it was his ring. We waited for what seemed to be like hours but no Harlan. We then got down to look for him and lo and behold, there he was, inside the tunnel, stuck and shouting for help.

“Ugh I just want to sleep” I muttered.

“If you had listened and helped him we wouldn’t be in this situation “Jaxx whispered angrily.

Jeez what got his panties in a twist. I rolled my eyes.

“ARE YOU OKAY? ARE YOU DYING?” I shouted rather loudly to Harlan from the end of the tunnel

“Wren you know I’m not deaf, I’m just stuck. No need to shout like a crazy old lady. Its 2am” Harlan replied.

“It’s my fault for asking crackhead” I made a face at him even though I was not visible to him.

“Guys we have to pull him out” Henry announced.

“Pull me out? Do you plan on tearing my body? I know you want to be the only child but chill dude” Harlan screamed.

“Have another plan? Henry asked and he kept mute.

“So, we pull?” Matt asked as a confirmation and he got a nod from Chris.

Fortunately for him, he was almost out the tunnel so it made it easier for the guys- I mean Henry Chris and Matt to pull him out, Jaxx just stood from afar watching the scene take place whilst Steph stayed by the guys, telling them what to do.

I went over to the bench and curled up my feet and let sleep take over.
