"Ah, crap! The tide" Pope says as we drives to the church "this doesn't look good" I says "how deep is that?" Kie asks

"I dunno. The road is gone" John B says before he stops the Twinkie "tide rose faster than I though it would" JJ says "just a little bit" John B says

"Uh, John B, how high the spark plugs?" JJ asks "they're good. We're fine" John B avoids the question "okay, but how high is it?" I asks "oh, um..." he says before he looks out of the window

"Uh, just about the taillight" John B answers "okay, so that's, what, three feet?" Pope says "that's three feet yeah" JJ says "we're cooked" I says

"It can't be three feet deep" Kie says "so then, what's the problem?" John B says "not a problem. No, we're good, we're good, she'll make it"

"Yeah. Fasten your seat belts. hold on to something, we're going into hyperdrive" John B says "I'll say a quick prayer" JJ says "three, two, one" John B counts before the Twinkie speeds through the water, creating massive splashes on either sides of it

"Faster! Faster!" JJ says "whoa! Whoa!" John B says "this is definitely not the way I wanted to die" I says "speed is your friend. Speed is your friend, John B" JJ says

"You got it! You got it!" JJ says "oh my good! Oh my god!" Sarah says before the Twinkie goes off the road and stops "ah! Shit!" Sarah says

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no" John B repeats "I think we miscalculated" Pope says "I knew I should have driven" JJ says

"Okay, maybe we can walk from here" Pope offers as we all were outside the Twinkie, the water almost got to out knees

"What? And leave the Twinkie? The... the tide is coming in" John B says "so then what are we supposed to do?" Sarah asks "not stay here" JJ answers

"My mom's car, I can take it" I says "Haley, are you sure?" John B says "she already hates me, it won't matter, you know" I says "we need something to pull her out with. There's the winch at the Chateau that's like, two miles" JJ says

"I am not sure if I know where that is" I says "I can come with you" JJ says and I nods "If you're gonna do it, let's go, okay?" John B says "all right" I says "tide is coming in, Twinkie is going underwater" John B says

"You don't have to come with me if you don't have to, I can handle it or whatever" I says "no it's alright, we gotta move" he says before he walks away and I follows him

"You sure you wanna do this?" JJ asks as we are behind the fence of my house, the walks to here was pretty quite, he didn't talk and I didn't either "we're already here" I says "all right, here we go. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go" he says opening the fence door for me and I walks in

I inhales deeply before I walks inside, I hear my mom's talking to someone through the living room as I was searching for her car's key

I watches my mom talking with some guy I can't even recognise. He's not a family, she doesn't have any expect Lana and I can't place this guy

She was laughing with him, it almost seems like a date and it didn't even make any sense. She put me through hell for blaming me for my dad's death and a few months later and she already finds a rebound.
