SL came back and he told us that Jay was on his way to stick around a little bit longer.

Once we knew that Jay was on his way, we went to the car to be with my friend Olivia.

My friend Sarah was putting on perfume, getting ready for Jay to be there.

We're just talking about what our plan is for the night.

Olivia had said that she needed to go around the corner to pick up another girl who needed a ride.

Sarah didn't want us to leave her there.

And so I told her I would stay with her.

I knew Jay a little bit.

And so I felt like I could break the ice.

But I told Olivia that when she came back, even if I'm not responding to your text messages, please come inside and please come get me because I don't want to get stuck in any situation that I can't get out of.

Obviously, looking back now, this seems like a little bit of foreshadowing.

But at the time, I was anticipating that maybe I would get in a situation with SL where he wanted to kiss or he wanted to cuddle.

And I wasn't ready to do that.

And I knew because he was not coherent that it would be really hard to turn him down in that way because I didn't know what he was going to try.

My friend Olivia said that she would be gone for just a couple minutes and then she would get me.

This would give me the ability to talk with Sarah and Jay and get them comfortable and then I could go.

The issue was that when Jay came, he came without a car.

Someone dropped him off and so it was going to be my job because I was the driver for the night to take him home after the night was over.

And at this point, it's 1230, one o'clock.

That's when kind of my nerves started.
