Not just another night out [[Olive and Summer]]

[whenyouearnit]

It's been more than a good night, it's been exactly the night that Rebekah's been needing. Everything from the decision to go out together to the way they'd all gotten ready at Rebekah's apartment, swapping dresses and makeup and dancing to the cds that Olive had brought. Even the time at the club had been good. There'd been drinks, dancing and a few boys who'd thankfully gotten the hint when the girls made it clear that they weren't there to flirt.

Really, she should have known it had been going too well. These sorts of things never worked out for her and this should be no exception. They were still a few blocks away from Rebekah's when she heard the footsteps behind them. At first she thought it was someone else walking home the way they were, but as they became loud enough for even the other girls to hear she knew that it wasn't just a coincidence. She's about to say something, to hurry them along to a better lit area when there's laughter and running. She turns in time to see three men coming at them, two of them brandishing knives.

"C'mon little ladies. Hand over your bags or we'll take 'em and you won't like that."

It'll look bad, Olive thinks, if they go and they're caught anyway, but maybe if they hurry they won't have to deal with that. She nods, taking a deep breath as she starts down the street again. "Quickly," she says, reaching out for Rebekah's hand. If they didn't have to move quickly, she'd hug her, reassure her they mean it, but this will have to do.

"Yeah, no, we — we should," Summer says, nodding in quick agreement, hurrying to catch up to the other two once she's slipped her shoe back on. She won't be much good for making good time with only one heel on, and if they're going to go, they need to actually do it. Ordinarily, she'd think it wouldn't be the wisest idea, since it's not like they did anything wrong here, but there would be a lot to explain, and she doesn't want to have to explain it, even when she isn't the one who pulled a knife or broke a wall with someone's head. "Probably better."

It's the fact that Olive slips her hand into Rebekah's that makes her believe that the girls truly don't hold what she is against her. That maybe for once, she's not dealing with people who only want to use her, or want her for what she can give them. She nods, waiting for Summer before nodding to a side street. "That way."
