It was 1 am when Dustin went to go to bed, however that is exactly when his phone began to ring. Sighing he looked at the caller ID which read, "Hale". Dustin answered, "Hey Hale what's up?" 

There was silence for a few moments before Hale mumbled, "Can you come pick me up?" 

Dustin was instantly worried, "What happened?" 

Hale mumbled something incoherent before repeating it slightly louder. "I was at the party... One of the neighbors called the cops on us... Something about being too loud. I need you to come get me please."

Despite being overtired at this point, Dustin grabbed his keys and told Hale he was on his way. Hale asked, "How soon can you be here?" 

"I'll be there in about 10 minutes okay bud?" 

"Thanks Dust."

"Anytime Hale."

So Dustin went and got Hale before they headed home. Nothing was said between the two as they headed home. When they reached their house Dustin turned off the car asking, "Are you okay Hale?" 

Hale's dark brown eyes focused on his older brother's blue ones and answered, "Yeah...I'm just tired." 

"Okay. Why don't we head inside and I can make some food before we watch a movie?" 

"Okay." 

So they headed inside and as Dustin made some popcorn, Hale picked out "How to Train Your Dragon" to watch. Soon they were sitting in their respective arm chairs watching the movie, however Dustin then heard soft snoring. Looking over he saw that Hale was fast asleep with the popcorn bowl balanced on the arm rest just before Hale knocked it over. He chuckled as Hale just continued to sleep as their dog, Macey ate up the late night snack.  

"Night little brother," Dustin whispered before continuing to watch the movie.
