Reaching

4-drunk

The minute I step in to the spotlight of the gang party, all eyes where on me. They knew the Mexican mafia leader had died and was with me but they wouldn't stop staring at me with pity.

What makes it worse is that so many girls would come my way, 'feeling sorry.'

I just want to go home and be with Jett, watching transformers like I had promises but I can't nor more.

"Your here, come come." I followed Manny to several people huddle at the bar.

"This is Keli Walgo, and James Walgo." I shake both for their hands.

"Welcome Fransisco, how is your club business going?"

"Great, my clubs have expanded in several states."

Keli nods and smiles at me, "that's excellent. Will if you excuse me, I see my daughter." She walks away and I stayed my focus on my drink.

"I wanted to ask if you would buy my club?" I look at James who had talked.

"And why is that?" I question. It's un-usually to buy someone property, I buy them in bad shape then fix them.

"Will I think I couldn't manage it anymore since my daughter doesn't want the club. She gone into business, advertising." I nod at him.

"I think about it."

"Hello daughter." A Girl walked close to James and took that as my cue to leave.

"See you around." I turned but my name was called by James.

"Please, let me introduce you to my daughter." I sigh and turned around. She smiled at me and I rolled my eyes in annoyed.

She was one of those girls. "Hi my name is Julie!" Her hand extended but I never grabbed it, she slowly puts it on her side.

I gave her a curt nod. "A new drink is calling me." I dismissed myself before they had time to actually make me talk or them again.

"I miss her." I look to my side and see Luis.

"So do I." I take a shot and he pats my back.

"Nima said we go on a boys night out, what do you say? Will take Danny, Alex, and Oliver."

"Why not Matt or Haven?"

"They are the one taking care of Jett. They Insisted." I nod and we both head out the party.

...

We met the boys at Gabby club. I remember beating up a kid because he was touching Gabby.

Loud music was playing, and people dancing as we made our way to the bar. "Let's get drunk!" Luis shouted, he hasn't been drinking out lately since Tavio.

After fours shots, I was tipsy but not as drunk. Experience you know.

"Remember when I would piss off Gabby by calling her queen." Danny slurred his words as he drinks another shot.

"Oh hell yeah, and she push you out of the limo." Oliver said and laughs.

Danny frowned and ignored him. "One time she was close to punch my ex because she was making fun of my girlfriend." Alex spoke too.

How did we even end up talking about her?

"Shit, I would call her step-sister." Luis began and took a big swing of his strong ass drink.

"I had sex with her in a club." They all eyed me.

"Too far."
"Geez man."
"Your still processing, stay that way."

I feel like jerking off now.

Fuck.

"YO WE SHOULD GET TATTOOS!" Alex yelled out and in the state I was in, of course I couldn't say no.

I ended up getting Jett name and gabby name in Lily's on my leg. And somehow landed in a pool area.

"No more monkey jumping on the bed, all the way down!" We all yelled out or tried.

"Look Imma start rapping." Danny said as he takes off his Jordan's. "Listen, we here out poppin some pills, the only pills I be takin is my love for the girl I have in my arms. The rum in my system starts running, I'm jumping so high, I can't reach the stars. And-"

"Yo, stop talking, drop top that lip. Zip and zap we zapping our way into that pot." Luis cuts off Danny.

"Making it rain as we fall in, drip dripper tilting, I feel I'm high all over again as we make that dinero." Alex starts rapping after him.

Whoa.

"Yuh, I feel like I'm dying but the only problem I have is I have no one left. I'm rushing, running, away from the problems, keeping my strength up for the kid who need someone caring. Disappointment raised to my heart, exceeding, decreasing, up and down, my level are high but I got no one to reach.......

"The tip of my finger are reaching for the same touch i wish I had again, air is all I grab. Why do this to me? Why have I done to deserve this life? Grateful for the kid I have but missing the love of my life as she in the ground." At the this point my eyes are watering.

Someone sighs and sat next to me as I move my feet in the water. "We are always here for you bro." Luis hugged me then I was tackled with more hugs from everyone.

"CANNON BALLLLLL BITCHHHHHEEESSA!" I felt someone hold my head and pulled me in the water with them.

The water pushed me in, and I was ready to beat someone ass for doing that. I quickly go to the surface and grab air, water hurt my lungs as I try to breathe in a hurry.

"Fucker." I grab Danny and pushed him back inside. Everyone laughs and jumps inside the pool.

...

We all waiting for our Uber driver, we were so drunk I didn't notice we were actually inside.

"Everyone ready?" The Uber said who had dark shades glasses on at night? Whatever, you do you sis.

"Hell.......oh shit......I mean yeah!" Danny yelled and the girl nods weirdly but begins to drive. For some reason, I couldn't stop staring at her glasses.

I wanted to know why, I look at her amazing hands. She had a ring so similar but I was probably dreaming.

"We're here." She lets out a sigh, and one by one they exit.

"Do I know you somewhere?" My words slurred as I try to un-puzzle this Uber driver.

She smiles softy, "n-no."

"Come on! Jett is waiting for his plane to arrive!" Franco yelled at me and I exit out the car.

The car drives away and so my random thoughts.

I barge inside my house, tumbling into my couch. I hissed from the pain of my tattoo but I didn't care.

"Dad?"

"I'm alive!" I saw a small figure walk towards me with a blanket.

"I don't want you to be cold." He said as he throws the blanket over me.

"Such a good kid, I don't deserve you." Jett gets on his knees to face my face on the couch.

"What would I do without you?"
