kick in either.”
    “Shit” Gabe says as he pounds his fist on the seat. “Hurry up Will.” He says as he tries to control his own anger. I know Gabe and Jenna have strong feelings for each other. And recently, shit’s been getting worse, and I have no doubt they would be together right now if I would let them. But after that first day of meeting her, I threatened to take his right testicle if he ever laid a finger on her. But, right now, at this very moment, I’m grateful to have Gabriel Gonzales here with me.
    “I’m fucking going as fast as I can man.” Will says with a shaky voice. “Bren. Where the hell am I going anyways?” he asks as he makes his way out of the neighborhood.
    “The Underground! The one on Vine.” I yell. Then focus on the sounds coming from the phone at my ear. “Jems, you there?” I ask. All I hear is music.  “Jenna?”
    “Here” She says softly. “Brennan. I’m sleepy. Bren, Is Gabe there?” she asks. What?
    “He is, he’s right here sis.” I say trying to keep my anger down. I hand him the phone. “Keep her talking or so help me...”
    He looks at me with as much shock as I feel. Putting the phone to his ear, he begins to talk. “Jenna?” I can tell he is holding his breath. “Yeah baby I’m here.” He lets out with a heavy sigh. “Can you make it outside angel? I know your scared Jenna. No, No. Don’t be sorry baby. We’re on our way.” He looks over to Will, his eyes begin to glossed over as he talks to her, it’s only a matter of time that the tears begin to fall.
    Will, Hurry the fuck up! Is all I can chant to myself.
    “Yes angel, Will’s here too. He’s driving us to you. Jenna?” his head snaps to me. “Jenna?” She must have gone silent again. “I’m right here darlin’. Are you outside?” Closing his eyes, taking a deep breath of relief he nods. “Good. Stay there babe. Do not leave his sight ok?” His mouth turns up with a small smile then he turns to look out the window. “You too angel. I do too.” What the actual fuck?
    “Jenna? Can I talk to him?” He looks back at me. “She’s with the bouncer. I told her to stay… Hello? Hi, yeah, listen, we’re about fifteen minutes away. Some fucker put ecstasy in her drink. Yeah. She called once she found out about it. Uh huh. FUCK! Okay, keep her with you, please? Yeah, my names Gabe. Thanks.” He hangs up before squeezing the phone tightly in his hand. “FUCK”. He says as he pounds his seat. Will begins to pick up speed.
    “What? What the fuck happened?” I ask.
    “She’s passed out. The bouncer has her, he said she looks bad and to hurry. He won’t call the cops cos the club will close so he’s gonna watch her.” He looks back at me “Any idea what she’s on?”
    I shake my head as I run my hands through my hair. “Probably speed! I don’t fucking know! She’s jumps from one to another. God Damn It Jenna!”
    Minutes later, Will turns the corner. Before he comes to a stop, Gabe and I have the doors open and are running towards The Underground. “Jenna!” I yell out as I hear Gabe swear. He gets to her first, sliding on his knees as he reaches her body lying on the ground. The bouncer looks up to me, and points to the ground. “Gabe?” he asks me. I nod in reply.
    “Is she ok?” I ask. What the fuck kind of question is that? Of course she isn’t. I kneel down on the other side of Gabe. “Jenna?” I shake her. “Jenna, wake up babe?” She looks lifeless. “Let’s get her home.” I tell Gabe. He nods. We both reach down to pick her up. I give him a look to back off.
    Unexpectedly she opens her eyes. With heavy lids, she looks over to me with a half-smile. Closes her eyes again and then opens them again this time, looking at Gabe. Slowly she reaches her hand up to his chest then around his neck. “Hey” she says with a loving smile before passing out again. He takes that as a sign that she wants him, so he bends down, and lifts her into his arms. Her head rests
