Act 21 - "Love In The 21st Century" - Neon Trees

Lyrics:

       There was a party going on in the apartment, drinks were flowing, and music was loud, but yet I still stood in the kitchen overlooking everyone like a loser. I was a part of the party when it started, I was there when we took a shot for Myles, because he was bragging to his friends about Neon Trees wanting him on their new song.
       That was an hour or so ago, when I felt like I existed, but now I don't. I know it's probably not a good idea, but I'm self-medicating by taking shots of whiskey, I've had three so far. Why no do it? Nobody realizes I'm even here, including Myles. Now, I am having a pity party, party of one bye myself in the kitchen.
       When I was including myself in the party, I was standing by Myles, it's not like i was wanting to be an attention whore, but i would like to be acknowledged. It was like Myles just dissed and dismissed me, or that it was ok to be all over me in front of my friends/family, but it's a no-no to even pretending in there in front of his.
       Usually I wouldn't give a fuck, but he was acting totally different toward me before the party started. Not only did we have sex for the second time in the shower, but he kept teasing me when I was in just a towel, or distracting me with his lips as I was trying to get dressed. I felt happy, because we were laughing and having a good time together. His kisses tasted so sweet, but once the party started he was so quick to click delete on all of that.
       Now, I'm really regretting not inviting Jax. I miss being around him, and laughing with him. I could really use him right about now, or I could at least just use a friend.

     As I was taking my fourth shot of whiskey, a friend came to save me from this party I don't belong to. Dex walked in like he owned the place, and instead of saying hello to the actual host of the party, he went straight into the kitchen for me.

"What are you doing in here all alone, party pooper?" Dex said, leaving about a foot of space between us.

"The party is doing just fine without me." I said despite the burn I felt from the whiskey going down my throat.

       Dex gave me a look of concern, he knows when something is up with me. I avoided depressing eye contact with him, and as I shifted my eyes down, I noticed that he brought a party favor.

"Is that weed in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?" I said seductively as I walked closer to him.

       Yup, I could tell that I was slightly intoxicated. I practically dry humped my ex-boyfriend as I addressed the baggy of weed in his pocket that could be mistaken for a boner if you got side swiped by him. It was all in the name of fun, which was all that mattered.

"Shh!!!" Dex said putting his index finger up to his mouth. "I'm only willing to share with you."

"I feel so special." I said put my hand to my chest, pretending to be shocked. "Do you wanna go out on the balcony and smoke that?"

       Dex shook his head yes, then him and I began to tip toe around all the party guests to get to the door to go on the balcony. Myles didn't even notice that Dex and I walked into the room together, he just kept jack off with his friends. If he did notice, he sure as hell didn't show it, which disappointed me even more. I guess that's what I get for trying to find love in the 21st century.
