As Richard realized how late it was, and he checked his phone, he saw a missed phone call from his mother. Instead of calling her he sent her a message saying he was all right and that he was going to pack now. Elijah left and Richard wanted to follow him but he remebered he needed a few things from his room. However, Elijah left pretty quickly which was reasonable enough, but he forgot he was the one to drive the others, so even if Richard and Sammy realized Elijah started his car they would never reach him in time since it was only a matter of seconds before he was gone. A lot of things on his mind made it cluttered and in his brain fog and dealing with these emotions, it escaped his mind that he was the one to drive them here. Richard packed and called his father to tell him of the surprising outcome of him having to pick him up from a hotel. As he left with all his things, his clothes now back on him, his hair fixed, his phone in his pocket and his coffee in him, he saw Sammy standing outside alone and thought it would be nice to offer a ride to her. He approached her and said “Hey … erm … Sammy, do you maybe need a ride? My dad’s picking me up and he wouldn’t mind driving you as well. Just give him the address and bob’s your uncle.” He offered her a cigarette before she aswered, he held a pack with two of them sticking out so she could take either one. There were a few cigarettes missing so there was some room for the lighter which, of course, was jammed in there. “Fancy a fag?” He asked, forgetting he isn’t home where that question would sound normal.
