Dont Go Out

Dont Go Out is a story written as a 2020 Christmas and New Year Special for Town of Haven.

Sypnosis
"Evelyn and her parents had to leave Haven because of her parents having a new job, and so she promised her friends that she will return after a month. However, she returned after 3 months instead. And she will be on a quest to regain her friendship."

Chapter 1: Welcome Back, Evelyn!
Evelyn `s friends rejoice while they await for her and her parents` return, one of them was Jashley and Dexter. Mei was also there, but was busy.

Evelyn`s friends and relatives yelled "Welcome Back" as Evelyn and her parents returned in their home.

They were later having lunch at her house`s backyard. Evelyn was talking about their parents` new job and also her experience in another place out of Haven. She later asked Jashley and Dexter on her other friends` whereabouts.

"Wheres Orion ?" Evelyn asked.

"He wanted to come, but he had to take lessons on what to do as an Alpha werewolf." Jashley answered.

"And Neko ?"

"He is also busy, but he didnt tell us the reason was." Dexter answered.

"And Mei?"

"I think she is still in the bathroom." Jashley answered. "But i dont know what was she doing in there."

"Ill go look for her." Evelyn responded.

At the guest bathroom, Mei can be seen fixing and tying her hair in a fishtail braid. Evelyn entered and saw Mei.

"Mei!" Evelyn yelled as she hug Mei.

"Welcome back, Evelyn." Mei spoke.

"I missed you so much! You look great in that hairstyle!"

"How long are you staying here, Evelyn?" Mei asked.

"Im not sure..." Evelyn spoke. "Are you hungry? Were currently having lunch at the backyard."

"I wish i could, but i have to go somewhere for dinner. Its my neighbor`s birthday." Mei responded as she packs her handbag. "Sorry, but i have to bounce!"

"Bounce? Whats 'bounce'?" Evelyn asked

"See you later!" Mei spoke as she opens the bathroom door and leaves.

Hours later, the party was over. The guests have left, but Jashley and Dexter stayed.

"Can i ask you guys something?" Evelyn spoke.

"Sure. What is it?" Jashley spoke.

"Was Mei always shutting her door?"

"Im not sure..." Dexter answered. "She began doing stuff like that after a month since you and your parents left."

"But dont worry, im sure you two will find a way to get along again..." Jashley responded.

But then suddenly, that hit Evelyn.

"Im sure you two will find a way to get along again..."

"Thats it! I know an idea, but i have to do it tomorrow!" Evelyn spoke.

"Really? What is it?" Dexter asked

"Its best if i dont tell you for now... Also, its late, you guys should go home now."

"Oh sh*t! Youre right! See you tomorrow, Evelyn!" Jashley spoke as she and Dexter leave her house.

At her bed, Evelyn began her plan in order for her to get along with Mei.

"Im going to make a 'Dont Do List', and youll listen to it, Mei!" Evelyn spoke as she opened her Notes on her phone, typing a list of Dont Do`s on a note.

The next day, Evelyn, Jashley, and Dexter were at the frontyard of Evelyn`s house talking about how great her welcome back party was, and she also showed them her plan about the "Dont Do List". Suddenly, they heard panting. And they can see a man in a blue jacket and blonde hair heading towards them.

"Guys guys!" The man yelled as he pants.

"Orion? What happened?" Jashley asked.

"You have no idea what happened... Those goons from the other neighborhood? I overheard them planning to court Mei! When i said they wont do that, they just ganged up on me. So i beat them all up!"

"Then we need to take you to the hospital." Dexter spoke.

"No, im fine. Its those goons that needed to go to the hospital." Orion responded. But then he noticed Evelyn.

"Evelyn! How are you? Its been a while!"

"Im great, thanks for asking." Evelyn spoke. "Also were you planning to court Mei?"

"What no!. Im just defending her."

"Oh... Do you have an idea on how to get along with her again, by the way?" Evelyn asked.

"Well... the school holiday is almost over for us... You can use that to your advantage..."

"Great idea, thanks Orion!"

Two days later, everyone returned to school. Orion and Mei were already in their classroom.

"What are you looking at?" Mei asked.

"Me? Nothing... Why did you ask?" Orion answered.

Jashley and Dexter later entered the classroom, with Evelyn following them.

"Hey, Mei!" Evelyn spoke.

"Wait... Evelyn!?" Mei spoke in shock.

Chapter 2: Lessons Learned
Still in the classroom, one of the teachers, Miss Leda arrives and asked Evelyn to make a speech about her return

"Yes... I am back to school after 3 months." Evelyn spoke in front of her class. "At first, i was second-guessing myself because i thought 'maybe its too late'. But then i thought 'age doesnt matter'. And my family always said 'Aside from health, education is also wealth'. So here i am today to fulfill my dream and enrich my knowledge."

"That was a great speech. So class, lets all welcome back our classmate, Evelyn." Miss Leda spoke.

The class all welcomed Evelyn back. Meanwhile, Mei was frustrated that she came back to school. The teacher later guided Evelyn to her original seat, which was apparently beside Mei.

"Hey, Mei... Not only were classmates again, but seatmates once again!" Evelyn spoke.

Minutes later, Evelyn`s class are at the outdoor tables of her school. Mei and Orion were there was well. Mei was talking to her two close classmates about Evelyn giving her the Dont Do List. Orion later approached Mei.

"Mei, whats that?" Orion asked. "No boyfriends? Thats gotta suck."

"Yea, no sh*t." Mei spoke. "I cant believe she did this..."

Minutes later, the class is back at the classroom while they have a few minutes before their break ends. While Mei is talking to her two classmates, and while Jashley and Dexter and talking to each other, Orion and Evelyn are erasing their classroom whiteboard.

"Evelyn, can i ask you something?" Orion asked.

"What is it?" Evelyn also asked.

"Are you sure this plan of yours would work?"

"Yea... I made sure of it. So it will be." Evelyn answered before she picked up a crumpled paper on the floor. "Im gonna throw this at the bin outside... Be right back"

As she approached the doorway, she suddenly bumped into someone with red hair... It was Neko. He was frustrated when he saw Evelyn returning to school after three months.

"Neko? Its been a while... Whats up?" Evelyn asked.

"Well lets see... Being f*cking late in class, what else can i miss? Ugh..." Neko spoke before walking past her and into his seat.

Minutes later, the class were done taking History lesson. They also have an activity involving group studies tomorrow. While the others have found a group study, Evelyn asked Mei if she can join her.

"Sorry, Evelyn. I already have a group study." Mei spoke as she walks to the tables with her groupmates.

"Mei! You cant go out!" Evelyn yelled.

Evelyn then decided to head to the school`s library to look for references.

"Come on, Evelyn. You can do this... I know you can..." Evelyn spoke to herself. Surprisingly, Neko was just passing by when he sees Evelyn talking to herself.

"Evelyn, you alright?" Neko asked.

"Oh uh yea... I am..." Evelyn answered.

"And... Evelyn?"

"Yea?"

"Youre in a library... You cant be loud or you shut the f*ck up..."

"Oh, right..."

The next day, the results came out. Evelyn may not have the perfect score, but shes the top, casuing Mei to be frustrated. At the outdoor tables, as Evelyn wanted to talk to her, she decided to walk off and ignore her for now.

Chapter 3: Right or Wrong
In the school hallway, Evelyn and Orion entered the hall near her classroom only to find Mei fighting her classmate by slapping her and placed a giant bucket into her head.

"Mei! What are you doing!?" Evelyn asked

"This girl bullied her! So i taught her a lesson!" Mei answered while pointing at the girl the bully made fun of

"Who even is this?" Evelyn asked as she removed the bucket.

"Amber!? What happened to her eyes!? Mei, what did you do!?"

"I sprayed her with alcohol!"

"Alcohol!? Mei, what the f*ck!?"

"Amber, its alright, just keep your eyes closed! Also apologize to her for bullying..." Evelyn spoke to the bully

"Sorry!" Amber yelled as she cries in pain before the school principal, Principal Gerda, approached them.

"What is happening here!?" Principal Gerda asked.

Minutes later, Evelyn and Mei are cleaning a toilet, Mei was mopping the floor, while Evelyn wipes the mirrors.

"You know what, Mei. Lets be thankful we only got a cleaning duty from Principal Gerda. Instead of a suspension, we only got this sanction."

"Its my fault, Evelyn. Sorry, okay? Ill take care of this..."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes"

"Okay, ill be right here"

Minutes later, Evelyn walks to the outdoor tables only to find her classmates clapping for her.

"Wait whats going on?" Evelyn asked.

"Look at this..." Orion got up from his seat and showed her a video on his phone. It was her during the time Amber bullied the girl.

"Youre going viral on social media! This just happened!" Orion spoke.

Hours later, Jashley visited Evelyn on her house about her plan to get along with Mei.

"Im trying to find a different approach... Maybe if i lighten up on Mei, she`ll lighten up on me..." Evelyn spoke. "Because from what i look at Mei... Its like she doesnt know me..."

"Evelyn... I think you need to try that..." Jashley spoke

"Yea... I just hope this plan would work..."

The next day, Evelyn is at the school library, thinking about Mei. Soon after, Miss Gerda came across her.

"Evelyn? Are you okay?" Miss Leda asked

"Oh uh... Yea, im okay..." Evelyn answered while packing her books and notes.

Miss Leda knew something was wrong. So she sat infront of Evelyn.

"Miss Leda... Im so tired... I dont know what to do about Mei... But i do know that i shouldnt stop studying either. I shouldnt just stop disciplining her... Because i know i have a lot of shortcomings to make up to her."

"I know, Evelyn. I know..." Miss Gerda spoke. "I knew your mother. I know how your mother disciplined you. Heres an idea... Instead of being like a sister to her... Why dont you also try being a friend to her? And instead of dictating what she cant do, why not support her in what she wants to do? All that im saying is... to be a good friend to her..."

Evelyn silently thought about it.

"Thank you, Miss Gerda..."

"Ill go ahead..." Miss Gerda got up from her seat and left the library.

At the outdoor tables, Evelyn`s class began reviewing for their upcoming History examination. Evelyn tried to talk to Mei, but she decided to walk away, leaving her notes behind. Evelyn tried to catch up with her, so she left her reviewer beside Mei`s notes

Chapter 4: False Accusations
Hours later, it was time for the class` History examination. While Evelyn was answering her exam sheet, she sees Mei also answering her sheet.

Minutes later, the exam was finished. Evelyn wanted to ask Mei if she can help her study for the next exam, but she refuses and walks away with her two classmates. While Evelyn tried to process what just happened, another teacher, Miss Christine, wanted her attention.

"Miss Evelyn Atkins?" Miss Christine spoke.

"Yes, Miss Christine?" Evelyn asked.

"We need to talk... Please go to the principal`s office..."

"Okay miss..."

In the principal`s office, Evelyn was talking to the principal, Principal Gerda, on why she was here. Not surprisingly, the History teacher was there. And very surprisingly, Neko was there.

"Uh Miss Gerda, why do you need my attention? And why is Neko here?"

"Well you see, Evelyn..." Neko frustratingly spoke. "I was told by our teacher to check the submitted test papers at the faculty room, when i saw a reviewer attached to your test paper... With your handwriting... Did you forget to get it when submitting your paper?"

"Neko, what was that for!?" Evelyn spoke.

"Im sorry, Evelyn..." Principal Gerda spoke. "Because this is a huge offense against the school`s guidelines, you are expelled from now on..."

Evelyn stared at Neko in disappointment before walking out of the principal`s office.

Hours later, Evelyn heads to Jashley`s house for help.

"I dont know Mei anymore... I dont know what to do with her..." Evelyn spoke.

"Probably because you forgot about us..." Jashley responded

"What do you mean?"

"Didnt you remember? Today was my birthday!. You didnt greet me! You even didnt check up on me! Its like you forgot about me!"

Evelyn stood silent. "Jashley, i didnt even mean to."

"But you did!" Jashley then walked out of her house and sat in the front porch stairs weeping. Evelyn later joined her.

"Okay... Maybe it was my fault... I guess i was too concentrated on Mei so much, that i forgot about your birthday... Since i dont know what to give you... I decided to give you this..." Evelyn gave Jashley a wristband she bought while she was away.

"I hope its enough... Again, im so sorry i forgot about your birthday today. Theres just so much going on in my mind..."

"I understand..." Jashley spoke. "I know you were desperate to get to Mei because... You lost so much time bonding with her, with us... Im just glad you have a gift for me... This wristband is enough..."

Evelyn smiled as she sang Happy Birthday To You to Jashley, making her cry. After Evelyn finished singing, she hugged Jashley for comfort...

"Thank you..." Jashley spoke. "Thank you for being a good friend..."

The next day, there was a History lesson ongoing in Evelyn`s class. Although Mei is relieved that Evelyn is not in the classroom anymore, Orion, Jashley, and Dexter were silent and mostly looked at Evelyn`s seat rather than the teacher.

After History class, Orion followed Mei to confront her about Evelyn.

"Mei... Mei..." Orion spoke as she called her name "You shouldve stood up for Evelyn..."

"So im going to defend the person who was caught cheating?"

"Everyone knows you want this... And your wish has came true to get rid of Evelyn here in school..."

"So Evelyn brainwashed you?"

"She didnt brainwash me... Ive just realized how good a person she is and a friend to you..."

"You know nothing, Orion."

"Mei... Mei... What a waste... I thought you were nice... But... Sorry..."

"Oh my God... Dont tell me-"

"Yes... Im telling you... Its not me... Its you..." Orion then walks off.

Meanwhile, Neko was walking past the faculty room, when he noticed a camera at the ceiling of the faculty room.

Hours later, Evelyn, Jashley, Dexter, and Orion are having a barbecue lunch at Evelyn`s backyard with their families.

"You know, Evelyn... I should head to your school for your re-admission." Jashley`s mother spoke.

"Or we can make a petition!" Dexter`s father spoke "1 thousand signatures! We can do that!" The others later agreed.

"Evelyn, maybe you should talk to Neko since he saw your exam sheet. Im sure he will help you..." Jashley spoke.

"No he wont... Hes still mad at me because i left him like you guys for three months... Oh wait! Maybe hes responsible! He was so angry that he planted that reviewer to get me kicked out of school! His revenge for breaking my promise months ago! Maybe thats it! He set me up!"

Everyone later agreed at Evelyn`s statement.

After everyone agreed on her statement, Neko unexpectedly showed up infront of Evelyn and the others.

"Evelyn!" Neko spoke.

"Neko? What are you doing here?" Evelyn asked.

"Is that him?" Lets get him out..." The parents quickly got up from their seats and headed towards Neko.

"Wait! Wait Wait! Wait a minute!" Evelyn spoke as she tried to stop them

"Can we have a little peace here?" Jashley`s mother spoke

Evelyn then looked back at Neko. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"Evelyn, i just want to say sorry..." Neko spoke

"What? So its true that you set me up?" Evelyn responded.

"What?"

"You want me out of school as revenge for me breaking our promise. Whether its personal or not, ever since we met again at school, youve been nothing but frustrated to me. And as a result of that, Mei and i have grown farther apart!"

Everyone else agreed on what Evelyn said.

"Huh? Youre accusing me of-"

"Slander, Libel, Oral defamation, and Character assassination" Jashley`s mother spoke.

"Yes... Confess... You did it for revenge..." Evelyn spoke.

"Evelyn, im here to apologize..." Neko spoke. "And tell you that i dont believe you cheated..."

"Huh?" Evelyn spoke

The parents then tried to convince Evelyn to forgive Neko.

Chapter 5: The Realization
At her house`s living room, Evelyn saw the security camera footage of the faculty room that was sent to Neko`s phone and see Amber sneaking in and placed Evelyn`s reviewer inside Evelyn`s exam sheet.

"Thanks, Neko..." Evelyn spoke as she returned Neko`s phone to him.

"Evelyn..." Neko spoke. "You have a right to be angry at me... What you said was right... I am disappointed on what youve done. But i dont believe youre capable of cheating... Or a quitter maybe..."

"Huh? Are you trying to say something?"

Neko takes a deep breath. "Since you forgot the promise that you would return after a month, my life spiraled downwards... I thought you would forgot about me or the others... So i forced myself to change..."

"I know how you feel... I had to leave just to help my parents ever since they got a new job... I convinced my parents to return here just so i could make it up to you guys..."

"And i made things worse for you..."

"But were okay now, right, Neko?"

Neko nods a 'yes' as he looks at his shoes before looking back at Evelyn... "I shouldnt have resented at what you did, Evelyn. Especially as a friend... So how about tomorrow? See you at school?"

"Alright, Neko..."

Neko smiled as he walks through the front door of Evelyn`s house and leaves.

The next day, Evelyn entered the school hallway near her classroom. As she was about to head towards the classroom with her classmates, she was interrupted by a voice.

"Evelyn?" She recognized it... It was Amber.

Evelyn turned around and see Amber standing at the hallway. She then walked closer to talk to her.

"After all that ive done... You even appealed to Principal Gerda, so i wouldnt get expelled?" Amber spoke

"Amber, dont waste your second chance, okay?" Evelyn responded "Youre smart, youre a good student... Youll reach greater heights... But if you let envy and anger cloud your judgement, itll all go to waste... Okay?"

Amber nods and Evelyn later hugs her in comfort.

"Lets go..." Evelyn held Amber`s hand as they head towards their classroom.

The next day, the entire class begin preparations for their Christmas Party tomorrow. While Mei are decorating the whiteboards with her two classmates, Evelyn gets to decorate the classroom`s back wall with Orion, Jashley, Dexter, and Neko.

The next day, it was the class` Christmas Party. Mei is talking to her two classmates in the side of the classroom.

"Looks like Evelyn wont attend the party..." Her first classmate spoke

"Aww... Im sad..." Mei spoke sarcastically

"Even Orion and the others arent here..." Her second classmate spoke

"I have no time for them, okay?" Mei spoke

The class stayed quiet as their program was about to start.

"Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas to all of you!" Miss Christine spoke. "Welcome to our very own Christmas Party! Are you excited to see our special number for everyone!?"

The entire began cheering. Signalling as a yes for the teachers.

"Okay, without further ado, lets all welcome, Orion, Jashley, Dexter, Neko, and Evelyn!"

The music then began playing, which was a Christmas rendition of "Bawal Lumabas" by Kim Chiu. Orion, Jashley, Dexter, and Neko began their entrance and danced at the first verse of the song. Afterwards, Evelyn began making her entrance as the chorus was about to hit. And Evelyn, along with the other four, danced to the chorus. And as the rest of the song plays, the entire class started a freedance competition, which everyone danced, except Mei.

Principal Gerda then talked to Evelyn of how great her performance was.

"You were so great, Evelyn! I remembered that everytime we held a program, you were always active in dance performances!" Principal Gerda spoke

"But miss, do you know it was Orion who taught us how to dance. He choreographed the dance steps!" Evelyn spoke as Orion walked towards them "Hes a really good dancer, right?"

"Principal, the food is ready. Lets eat!" Miss Christine spoke.

"Lets go eat!" Orion spoke as he joined them.

As Evelyn was about to join them, Neko approached her. "Evelyn, i have a gift for you... Its also a sign of forgiveness..."

Evelyn opens his gift... It was a pair of headphones. She always wanted one.

"Neko... This... This is great... Thank you!" Evelyn spoke

Evelyn then spotted Mei walking out of the classroom and tried to follow her.

"Mei... Mei!" Evelyn spoks as she tried to call her name.

"What is it?" Mei spoke.

"Im sorry... I know it was wrong for me to accuse you of setting me up to be expelled from school... I know that i am wrong in hurting you..."

"Its okay... Im used to getting hurt..."

"What do you mean? Mei, come on! I think i have done everything for us to be okay! Is this still not okay with you? Do you want me to kneel in front of you? How many times do i have to beg for your forgiveness for us to be okay? Have i strongly wronged you to deserve this?"

"You left me alone! Evelyn, you promised me youll go back for me... But you never did! Did my friend think i was okay there? Did you think i was happy? I felt like i was good for nothing! That i was a freeloader! Evelyn, It hurts me! I cant bear it!"

"Mei... I didnt know! Why didnt you tell me?"

"I called you so many times, Evelyn... I wanted to tell you my problem... I wanted to tell you what i was going through... But whenever wed talk, you were always rushing... So who could i turn to? Who!? I suffered for how many months!? I felt that i was worthless... That i was not loved... But you know what i realized... That there was no one i could depend on but me... So stop whatever it is that youre doing! Its too late! I am fine!"

Mei then storms off weeping, leaving Evelyn in tears.

Chapter 6: Change of Heart
The next day, it was a holiday. So Orion, Jashley, Dexter, and Neko visited Evelyn on her house, which was occupied by guests because the Atkins held a Christmas Party. Theyre currently talking at the second floor of the house.

"You alright?" Jashley asked.

Evelyn nodded a yes before looking at her shoes.

"What happened with you two?" Orion asked

"Mei... She... She wanted me to stop... Telling me that its already too late..."

"Dont stop here, Evelyn..." Neko spoke. "Im sure its not too late yet."

"There has to be a way to fix it, right? There has to be!" Evelyn spoke. But as soon as she turned around, she bumped into a lady, causing the lady to slide down the staircase of the house.

"That hurts!" The lady yelled in pain

"Holy f*ck!" Evelyn spoke in shock

Evelyn, Orion, Jashley, Dexter and Neko looked over the railing to see if the lady is alive.

"Is she dead? Is she dead?" Orion spoke in fear.

"I just hope she isnt!" Dexter spoke

"Please better be alive..." Jashley spoke

They suddenly see the lady moving her right arm and groan at the same time.

"Oh thank God shes alive..." Neko spoke

The next day, the lady is standing in the front yard of the Atkins house with the police, with Evelyn, Orion, Jashley, and Dexter with their parents blocking Evelyn.

"As a mother of her friend, i forbid this arrest!" Jashley`s mother spoke before the other parents agreed on her statement

"Hey! What right do you have to hold back the law?" The lady spoke

"But what about holding back a disciple of darkness?" Dexter`s father spoke before everyone began yelling that the lady was the leader

"Wait a minute! Hold on!" Neko paused. "Maybe we can talk about this?"

"Cant you see what they did to me? And you still want to talk?"

"You cant arrest my friend!" Dexter spoke

"Yea! You cant do that! Get out of here!" These were the words the parents yelled after hearing Dexter`s statement

"We can charge all of you with obstruction of justice." A policeman spoke.

"What? Obstruction of justice?" were the words the parents spoke in shock

"Ive done nothing to you!" Evelyn spoke before everyone agreeing to her statement

"Its attempted murder and serious physical injury! She should be in jail!" The lady spoke

"That cant be! Were not going to allow it!" Dexter`s mother yelled

"Madam come here... Serious physical injury?" Jashley`s mother spoke

"Yes, physical injury."

"Like this?" Jashley`s mother began pulling the lady`s hair. Evelyn, Orion, Jashley, Dexter, Neko and their parents screamed in panic as they witness this. Meanwhile, Mei witnessed all of this in shock.

"Wait! Dont involve them in this!" Evelyn spoke

"Right!" Dexter`s mother spoke

Evelyn then continued "Theyre not a part of this... Im surrendering myself... Dont include them..." The parents were shocked and tried to convince her not do surrender herself.

"No, dont go with them! Evelyn, wait! We need to do something! Lets follow them!" The parents yelled. Meanwhile, Mei walks away, and Orion noticed her.

It was night after Evelyn was arrested. Orion confronted Mei inside her house. She was standing at her living room.

"My wish came true..." Mei spoke

"What wish?" Orion asked

"Shes gone... No one to meddle with my affairs... No more 'Dont Do' list..." Mei then noticed a present left at the living room table. It was from Evelyn.

Mei opened it and saw a blue winter jacket and a letter inside:

"Because you always wanted to go out during Winter days... You will need this with you... Whenever you wear this winter jacket, imagine me hugging you tight. I love you Mei! Thank you for being a great friend! Merry Christmas! -Evelyn"

Mei began crying in tears as she holds both the letter and the winter jacket tight. Orion slowly approached Mei and comfortably hugged her.

The next day, Orion, Jashley, Dexter, and Neko visited Evelyn, who is inside her jail cell.

"You can go ahead and leave me... Ill be alright..." Evelyn spoke

"Evelyn... Me and Orion know a werewolf who is a good lawyer... Well ask him for help..." Neko spoke

"Good idea, Neko... We can do that..." Orion spoke

"Evelyn, ill get some money to bail you out..." Dexter spoke

"Dexter, ill be fine... You can just leave me here..." Evelyn responded.

Evelyn`s mother entered the police station and approached Evelyn.

"Evelyn, i have good news and bad news for you... Which do you want to hear first?" Evelyn`s mother asked

"Good news of course..." Evelyn answered

"The good news is... Youre free to go!"

Evelyn, Orion, Jashley, Dexter, and Neko cheered.

"As long as you post the bail..." Evelyn`s mother added

"Bail? And what about the bad news?" Evelyn asked.

"Well, there are a handful of cases the lady files against you... Oral defamation, grave threat, direct assault, physical injury... With all the cases, the fines all piled up..."

"How much will we need to post bail?"

"Evelyn, whatever you do... Please dont cry, okay? Dont cry..."

"I will try"

"Dont cry, okay? See its already happening... Dont cry..."

"4,899.90 Dollars..."

Evelyn went silent for a few seconds before starting to cry.

"Dont cry, Evelyn! Dont cry!"

"Where am i going to get the money!?" Evelyn yelled as she cried

"I already told you... Dont cry..."

Hours later, Orion, Jashley, Dexter and Neko gather at the living room of Orion`s house.

"Heres my contribution, guys... I still have some in the bank." Jashley spoke as she placed some money into the living room table.

"Heres also my contribution." Dexter placed some of his money into the table. "Also from the bank".

"Heres mine." Neko placed his into the table, "From the bank as well."

"So is mine..." Orion also placed his money into the table. "Got mine from the bank as well."

Mei entered Orion`s house with money on her hand.

"Guys..." Mei spoke, catching Orion, Jashley, Dexter, and Neko`s attention. "Heres my contribution..."

"Where did you get that?" Jashley asked.

"I got it from my bank as well..." Mei spoke. "I realized that... Our present situation is more important... Now that Evelyn is back... Now that were supposed to be happy because our group is complete... But i dwelled too much in the past... I let my feelings get to me... I wish i fought it sooner and opened my heart... Guys, im sorry for how ive been acting... I have a lot of shortcomings to make up to all of you... Especially to Evelyn... But i promise, ill make it up to you... I wont let Evelyn down." Mei then placed her money into the table

"We wont let Evelyn down..." Dexter spoke

"Right!" Jashley spoke

Orion, Jashley, Dexter, and Neko then hugged Mei.

It is Christmas, and Evelyn is in her cell. She can see Mei with Jashley and Dexter, who were holding bags entering the police station and towards her cell.

"Mei!" Evelyn spoke. "This is surprising... What brings you here?"

"Were here to spend Christmas..." Mei spoke

"Really?"

"Evelyn, im sorry... Im really sorry..."

"Mei, i understand... You dont have to apologize."

"You tried to make amends with me so many times. I just didnt listen..."

"I wasnt paying attention to you too whenever youd call me. I was always busy. I wasnt listening to you enough..."

"But Evelyn, i realized that even when i thought you werent paying attention to me or when i felt worthless, it was because you eventually worked so hard to make it up to me and our friends... Especially for your parents... Yes i struggled living without my friend. But thats nothing compared to all your sacrifices for your family and friends. So thank you, Evelyn. Thank you very much for being a great friend."

"Youre making me cry, Mei... But whats important is, were okay."

"No, Evelyn. Were not okay yet."

"Why?"

"Because youre still in jail! Didnt you say 'Dont Go Out'? Thats not cool! My friend should be allowed out!"

"We dont have bail yet."

"Were working on it. But it looks like this is where youll be spending Christmas."

"Merry Christmas, Evelyn!" Jashley spoke. "Is it still merry though, while in prison?"

"Of course!" Evelyn spoke. "Because all of us are together. Ive been hoping for this for a long time. So im really happy youre all here."

"Can we just start eating already?" Dexter asked

"Merry Christmas!" Evelyn spoke

"Merry Christmas, Evelyn!" Mei spoke

"Merry Christmas!" Dexter spoke. Mei, Jashley, and Dexter then hug Evelyn through the bars. Minutes later, they began eating, even if Evelyn is separated by a prison bar, enjoying each other`s company.

While they were eating, Orion and Neko entered the police station and head toward Evelyn and the others.

"Hope you dont mind the werewolves joining." Orion spoke

"Hey Orion and Neko!" Evelyn spoke. "Come on, join us!" Orion and Neko joined eating with the others.

Time skipped. And its New Years Eve, Evelyn was finally released from prison. And theyre celebrating New Year in her backyard with the group and their parents.

"If it wasnt for all of you, id probably still be in the jail for New Year." Evelyn spoke

"Evelyn, you know we cant let that happen." Evelyn`s mother spoke

"So thank you to my loving family and friends!" Evelyn also added.

"Evelyn, the lady was so scared when Orion and Neko came with their lawyer werewolf friend." Jashley spoke before the parents laughed

"Guys i have a New Years resolution... This year, im going to focus with my studies and of course, be a good friend!" Mei spoke.

"Well my New Year`s resolution is about my family and friends... I will make sure i will support my friends and my family at the same time..." Evelyn spoke.

"But the new year wont wait!" Jashley`s mother spoke "Here it comes! Ten seconds left!"

"Five! Four! Three! Two! One! Happy New Year! Everyone yelled in joy as they introduced the new year.

Everyone then watched from the backyard as the fireworks shoot up into the sky and exploding into many colors in the air.

Epilogue
Mei, Evelyn, and her parents are standing outside of her house packing some stuff and bring them into a van.

"You remember what i told you, right? Dont forget the instructions, okay mom?" Evelyn spoke
