In the later parts of the book, Jesse, Brick, Lakeisha, and Rachel are hanging out at Laurelhurst Park eating pizza and drinking beers. Jesse and Rachel sit in the front of Jesse's car and Brick and Lakeisha are in the back. It was not long when Jesse pulls out some drugs and asks for a light. Everybody else that was in the carwas against it and thought it was illegal. Brick and Lakeisha got out but Rachel stayed because she really liked Jesse. Jesse was telling all this stuff that Rachel wanted to hear to try and take advantage of her. It seemed like he didn't care for her as much as she did for him. Jesse knew she had a few beers so he saw that as an opprtunity to try and take advantage of her and get what he wanted. This worked because Rachel fell for it and was even convinced to move to South America with him.
When Rachel got home that evening, her grandmother was waiting for her. It turns out that Brick called her house to give them a warning that Rachel may be in danger. The grandmother was really disappointed in Rachel and started yelling at her and Rachel could not take it anymore. The bottle inside of her broke and she ran upstairs crying and not feeling well. Brick only called because he really cared for Rachel and cared for her safety. Rachel did not want to be locked up any longer. She wanted to do the things she wanted with no restrictions. Since she was the one that survived the fall, she deserves to be doing the things she wants and not have to be supervised all the time. (Mason Roessler Post 7)
