[Joel,Jake,Libby] You Get One Call

[Jacob Daniel Russo]

Well, Jake could put being arrested on the list now. And actually, it was not something many in his family could say. He really was on his own path over here. Bar fight. Handcuffed. Put in a cop car. And now he was sitting in a holding cell with Joel next to him and Dani on his lap. "My little Brawler," he said shaking his head and chuckling. He still found it slightly hilarious that she's spider monkeyed off the bar and bitten someone. Poor Libby had the tedious task of peeling Dani out of the scuffle. If anything, Libby was being a little trooper right now. Jake looked at Dani's face, where she was sporting a scrape that was still slightly bleeding. "How's your battle scar?" he asked, looking to see if it was bruising. Joel had some pretty good ones as well. Jake looked over at Joel, knowing that the bigger problem here was what Logan was going to think. "So are we worried about what Renner's gonna say, or just worried how he's gonna spin this?" Jake laughed, "Dani, you might have to figure out a new image?" Jake new her whole image for her fans was built around being a good role model. Now she was... not one. Hahaha.

Libby stood in the police station, waiting for someone to tell her what was going on. Why was Libby always having to bail people out of jail? First it was Declan, and now it was her own boyfriend and friends. Well, it did seem thought hat every time this happened it was for a good reason. Libby didn't blame Joel for wanting to beat the shit out of that guy. It was sick how people enjoyed other people's bad stuff. The things about Joel's brother should be private. She supposed when you put yourself out there as a celebrity you kind of accepted that people were going to be up in your business. But there was a line that shouldn't be crossed. So far she was pretty sure they could be out on bail. She didn't think the guys at the bat were pressing charges, probably because they knew they were the ones who had started it. Or because someone bribed them. Which didn't surprise her. Libby pulled out her phone, calling the only person she could think of that might be able to fix this. Libby waited until he answered, "Ryan?" Libby too k a deep breath, "Yes, hi, it's Libby. I um... I know I don't normally call you that often... not because I don't like you, you seem fine... anyways. Well, yeah, I was calling because, Joel was arrested. Yeah. And Jake... they got in a bar fight... look I wasn't sure who to call... okay. Yeah, I guess if you want to call Logan, that's probably a good idea." Well this was awkward. But he'd be able to help somehow. She just wanted Joel out of jail so she could take him home.

Another day , another headline. Joel laid his head back against the cold wall of the cell as he kept his eyes closed. “ Look I’m sorry I got you in this mess,” he said quietly over to Jake and Dani. Just because he lost it and it was going to impact his image didn’t mean that they needed to get involved. Though part of him genuinely believed that Jake didn’t give a flying fuck. Dani was probably a little more concerned. But all he could see in his mind right now was David. “ This is fucking bullshit,” Joel said as he pinched the bridge of his nose before standing up and making his way over. “ Hey I don’t know if you guys noticed or not but we’re sort of exhausted from a fight.. you guys got shit we can eat? Plenty of pigs around here so I’m assuming you could fry up some bacon,” he called out as he held onto the bars of the cell. “ I mean at least let the chick out. This shit smells like piss in here,” he said with a lift of his eyebrow. “ Don’t I get a fucking phone call?” he asked before one of the cops gave a snort. “ Your girlfriend out there is already calling a whole list of people. Other arrests are using the phone right now. Wait your turn,” the cop said and Joel sighed as he dropped his arms before he turned and face Jake and Dani. “ Just don’t get it on in the cell. I’m sure Logan will be here any damn minute,” he said, placing his hands in his front pockets. And Ryan. As soon as he could call Ryan – and ask him to not bring Madeline. She’d already had a long day, the last thing she needed was to see her brother in a cell. Not to mention he could already hear tears about the book club from his mother in his own head.

Dani shook her foot anxiously as she sat in Jake’s lap, watching Joel who seemed to be at his wits end. Not her boyfriend though – he was perfectly calm and collected. Like he was meant to live and breathe in a jail cell. “ Do we at least know if Libby is okay? She got decked pretty hard,” she questioned as she looked between the two of them. She couldn’t help but smile as Jake referred to her as his little brawler, giving him a small nudge with the side of her body before she leaned against his chest. “ It’s fine,” she said, bringing her finger tips up to her cheek. She looked up as Joel started asking the guards for bacon. “ Oh, do you guys have Voss?” she asked curiously before resting her back against Jake’s chest again. She made a face of annoyance as Jake mentioned Logan, potentially having to make a new image. “ Logan has a lot of that going on right now. Have you heard some of Talia’s new stuff? I don’t want to make him go through that with two artists. I’m sure it’s a lot to juggle and try to spin.” she said before looking up at him. It was pretty sexy that he could fight so well. Actually, it was very sexy. Probably the sexiest thing about him. “ You just wait until we get home,” she said, kissing his cheek before she took in a deep breath and sighed. “ I pray to God no one tells Logan I’m here until he gets here…” she said with a slight wince before taking Jake’s hand in her own and going back to shaking her foot.

Jake wrapped his arm around Dani tighter, shrugging when Dani mentioned Libby, "Libby's a tough girl, I'm sure she's okay." If he was the one not in the jail cell, he wasn't sure who he'd be calling. Jake laughed, saying quietly to Dani, "Dani, they're probably not gonna get you and Voss..." he laughed, kissing her shoulder. Her face looked okay. Scratched, but it's probably heal fine. Joel was pretty wound up though, Jake could tell he just wanted to go home. Someone would come soon enough though. Joel just need out of here. Jake took a deep breath, listening to Dani talk about Talia. She was right though, it wasn't fun to have to spin new images all day long when Logan's artists just up and decided to be bad asses. But Dani was better at it anyways. Thug life. Jake smiled though, having to hold his laugh in, "Oh? No. YOU just wait until we get home..." he said, his hand moving up Dani's leg in his lap. To which Joel basically told them to cool it until they all got out of there. Jake cold not WAIT until he and Dani got out of there. It was so on. In the mean time, Jake wrapped his arms calmly around Dani and rested his head on her shoulder. All they could really do was wit until, finally, an officer cam back and began unlocking the cell. They'd be out of here soon enough, someone had bailed them out. Luckily. Joel looked like he was about to go out of his mind.

Dani looked up as the officers spoke to them. “ Logan Renner bailed you guys out,” he said. “Fuck! Did you tell him who was in here?” she asked. “Danielle Cooper. He had no idea who that was,” he said with a slight chuckle. “ Fuck!” she said again. “ We can go?” Joel said with slight excitement in his exhausted tone. “ Up,” Dani said before standing up and crawling behind Jake before she climbed onto his back, resting her cheek on his shoulder before he stood up. Her heels were killing her. And besides she was pretty sure she was going to need energy when she got home. “ Avoid Renner,” she said, tightening her arms around his body. Dani waved at the police officer as Jake made his way out, trying to hide behind his body as she watched Joel slow his pace to talk to Logan. She cringed, trying to make her body smaller behind Jake’s back before she caught Ryan’s eye. ‘ I didn’t choose the thug life…” she whispered quietly to Ryan, holding her fist up for him to hit. Dani brought her arm back around Jake before she started humming ‘ Come & Get It’ quietly against his shoulder, avoiding what looked like Logan shaking his head at her.

‘ You guys are out,’ the officer said before opening the bars and sliding them to the side. “ Thank fucking god,” Joel said, moving out of the cell and out towards the front lobby. “ Hey,” he said as he approached Logan, wanting to get stuff straightened out. Career first. Always. Joel brought his hands up to the back of his head, looking pretty deep in conversation before he gave a small nod and stepped forward, giving Logan a quick hug. Pretty quickly after that he was giving Ryan a hug, talking to him about Madeline, asking questions about David. Maybe tonight wasn’t the best night to hash all of this out. He could always talk to him in the morning. He was sort of on a one track train of thought right now. Well two. He wanted food, too. “ I’ll see you later, bro” he said, hugging Ryan as tight as ever. “ Hey,” he said softly as he came back over to Libby, placing his thumb on her chin and tilting it slightly so he could take a look at her face. “ I’m so sorry,” he said with a frown across his features before he leaned down to give her a kiss. “ Come on. Let’s grab something to eat and go home and lay down,” he said, reaching up to take his jacket off. He placed it around her shoulders carefully before wrapping his arm around her shoulders and pulling her into his chest as he started walking.

Logan and Ryan had shown up, leaving Libby to sit down and wait as per usual. She sat in the lobby, hands in her lap and waited. Logan was getting things sorted out. She heard him chuckled oddly when they told him Dani was in there as well. He turned and looked back at Libby who looked away, trying to not to smile. She may not have mentioned that small piece of information. It's just that it was slightly hilarious that Dani was in jail as well. Jake, yeah. Joel, okay. Dani, hysterical. Libby picked up her phone and called the local wing place she had on speed dial that Joel loved, "Hi can I place an order to be delivered?" Libby gingerly touched her face that she was sure was bruising and she really didn't want Joel to see it. But she was sure he would. Couldn't hide it from him. Libby paid over the phone and apparently they could deliver it to her doorman. However long it took them before they got out of here. Libby stood up when she heard everyone coming out, but hung back. Joel would want to talk to Logan first. And then he'd want to talk to Ryan. Then he'd want to get the hell out of there. She was pretty ready to go home too, she supposed. Joel finally came over and she offered a small smile, "Hi," frowning while he looked at her face. Not the prettiest at the moment. "It's okay," she said, shrugging. It'd heal up alright, it was just a bump. Libby kissed him and nodded, right. He was hungry. She looked up at him when he gave her his jacket, "I ordered wings at home actually," she shrugged, leaning into him as they headed outside, "That okay?"
