Chapter 8 - Sleepover

My night ended splendidly. I say that with sarcasm of course since I ended up rounding up a drunken Cat and tipsy Sam from the kitchen just drinking and snacking on the counter with a bunch of other people playing some sort of game, coldly telling Tori that we'd be leaving after she ended the make out session with 'Mister Perfect', and having us meet the boys back at the door.
It was 3am and Sam and Cat were quietly giggling in the backseat and whispering about stuff while Tori sat quietly beside me, smiling at her phone as she texted someone. It had just started to rain, but luckily we had a garage in the building. I turned the volume up on the stereo and Heartbreak Anniversary by Giveon played almost serenely through the car. I say almost because this knot in my chest bothered the hell out of me.

"'Ey, Jade," Sam called out, slightly slurring her words. I slightly adjusted the rear-view mirror to be able to see them slightly as well and made short eye contact with Sam before turning to the road once more.

"What's up?"

"D'you've food a' home?" The blonde wondered with a short delay between each word.

"Probably, but I was thinking of ordering food instead because my parents are asleep." I responded, stopping at the red light and slipping out a cigarette from my pack.

"Yay! Food! I'm starving!" Cat complained before giggling ever so slightly do to her intoxication.

"Cool, food. Where are we going?" Tori asked, putting her phone down in her lap. I raised a lighter up to my face and quickly lit up my cigarette before opening the window slightly, making sure the smoke had somewhere to escape through, but not let the rain come and soak my car. Tori awaited for my response, but instead I just released all my stress out through the smoke that were in my lungs. "Jade?"

I sighed, "McDonald's."

Not long after I responded, the big neon M popped up and I made the turn to go through the drive thru.

"Hi, welcome to McDonald's, what can I get for you?" The woman asked gleefully through the intercom.

"Hey, can I get a 20-piece chicken nuggets, a quarter pounder with bacon deluxe in a large menu with Coke and fries, and an apple pie?" I requested, unknowingly ordering according to the alcohol and marijuanna munchies I was experiencing as well as a mild case of cotton mouth.

" Alright, anything else?"

"We'll also have two crispy spicy chicken sandwiches, a big mac, all those with a side of large friends and two cokes and an ice tea, a 40-piece chicken nugget and 3 more apple pies." Tori ordered, adding Sam and Cat's as well.

"Alright then. Please go on to the next window ahead. Thank you."

Tori gathered everyone's money and handed them to me, slightly making contact with my palm. I turned to her and saw her looking at me curiously as if she knew something was wrong with me, but wasn't sure if that was the case. Unfortunately, I wasn't in the mood to discuss or argue or anything so I just flashed her a smile as a sign of gratitude for the cash and collected the money.
I reached into my purse and pulled out my wallet before we reached to the window. We paid and waited momentarily before our three bags of food were handed to us. I automatically handed them to Tori to hold onto out of habit, but quickly snapped out of it when my phone buzzed, indicating I got a text. Since we were on the road, I didn't check, but instead I made sure to get us home a little faster.

"Okay ladies, be quiet and just head up to my room quickly. I'll be up in a minute." I whispered as soon as the elevator opened up to the house. They quietly scurried up the stairs, leaving me to lock the door that prevented anyone in the elevator to be able to push it open while we were asleep.
I walked to the kitchen and grabbed a few water bottles, napkins and headed up the stairs to my room.
Walking in to my room, I saw Cat laying on the floor playing around with Midnight and Ice who was now awaken by his excitement for guests, Sam looking through the foods and trying not to eat them, and Tori getting comfortable by removing her shoes, jacket and things in one corner.
