Reputation to keep

T.G.I.F

I couldn't stop thinking about Max and why he rejected my invite. I mean, he did want to be popular didn't he? He was going to try... I couldn't get him off my mind and I nearly peed my pants when the doorbell suddenly rang!

'What the fuck? Who the hell would be at the door?!' I said to no one in particular.

I walked to the door and happened to catch a glimpse of the time as I passed the kitchen. Holy shit! It was seven fifteen!!! I vaguely remembered calling out to the party people when they arrived (the help must have let them in before they left) but other than that, I realised I had sat for three full hours just thinking about Max. Jesus Christ!

The doorbell was ringing again and I rushed to get it. 

'Jesus babe! Took you long enough! I rang the doorbell around five times! What the hell were you doing in there? It's hardly as though this place is pumping with loud music!'

'Shit sorry I didn't hear you,' I apologized 'That reminds me, HEY! GET THE MUSIC PUMPING!!!' I buzzed the intercom down to the basement (where I always hold the main parties.)

'Let me guess, sex with the DJ? That's low Angel.' Stacey smirked

'Yep, you caught me' I sighed dramatically 'I'm all for the hardcore' I giggled as I lead Stace downstairs. It reminded me of why I put up with Stace, while she may be a pain at times, she was fun.

The party had been going for around two hours now and yet I still wasn't enjoying myself. I sighed and wondered over to the punch bowl to grab a drink (and by the way, by punch, I meant fizzy fruit juice with strawberries and crap that had been spiked with vodka.) After refilling my cup I went over to stand with a couple of drunk, ditsy cheerleaders who were giggling and pondering over which boy was the hottest. 

'Hey girls,' I slurred (I admit I was getting a tincy bit drunk, but I swear, I had only had four cups of punch) 

'Angel, this party is OFF THE HUZZAH!' one of the girls hooted. I had no idea what she meant but it sounded awesome

'Yeah Baby! WOOO!' Another girl yelled.

'Hey Angel, who do you reckons the hottest guy here?' A girl called Britney asked me

'Oh DEFINITELY Max!'

'Max? Who's Max?' Britney questioned, a sly smile on her face.

Oh. My. God. Did I really just say that?!

'Soz girls, I meant max as in maximised hotness and I forgot to add Jesse on the end.' I grinned sheepishly and thanked god I had the brains to make up something like that.

'OHHHH! Hell Yeah he is one sexy slab of hunk!!!!'

She bought it. Thank god. She must have been really drunk.

'Hey Angelllll! Speaking of sexy slabs of hunk, here he comesssss!'

Ohmigod he really was coming over here! Jesse glided over like a god. 

'Hey, umm Angel. You wanna dance?' His voice melted and encased me like chocolate, suddenly frozen after its molten state.

'Oh I don't know baby. You think you can handle all this?!' I had completely forgotten about playing hard to get in my drunken state and let go of all reserves. I could hardly stand here alone all night at my own party.

As we walked out onto the dance floor, T.G.I.F was playing. How ironic it was that this would probably be my life by tomorrow. I grinned and pulled Jesse close, breathing in his cologne. He smelled really good.

I danced both on my own and with other guys until around 12:00 and by then, the night really had picked up. We had had the cops round once but we told them we would stop and headed them off. Everything had become light and bubbly and the night was alive with colours and aroused teens. People were dancing on the food and drink tables and people were already passed out around the place. Eventually at around 1:00am the police really did shut down the party and I staggered upstairs to my room after everyone left the house.

I didn't bother turning on the light and I began to undress when someone came up behind me and put their hands around my waist. I screamed

'Get your FUCKING hand OFF me if you want to keep them!!!' I was scared out of my wits but I wasn't going to show it

'Relax Baby! Its just me' came a lazy voice

'And who the hell is "me" ' I asked calmly. Once again, I was terrified, but when it comes to the old fight or flight, I generally vouch for the first option

'Jesse. Now let me help you with that.' He began to pull off my shirt and I quickly pulled it back down

'Jesse get the fuck outta my house' I said in a pissed tone. Damn this boy is stupid! It's a good thing he's hot or... 

'You know you want me babe, I can see it in your eyes' I realised at this point he wasn't going to stop and I started to worry

'Jesse. I am going to say this slowly. Get. Your. Hands. Off. Me' I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists 'I am going to call back the police in a minute and I'm pretty sure they won't be too happy to come back on the circumstances of a young man raping an innocent woman.'

'It won't be rape when you start enjoying it.' He was really scaring me and I started to struggle. His hands tightened around me like a vice and I began to scream.

'Get your hands off her.' 

What the fuck?! Oh my god! OH MY GOD! Thank you lord! It was Max. But could he really take on Jesse? And how in sane heck did he get in my room?!

'You have until three. One... ' 

Jesse's hand flew through the air and I squeezed my eyes tight, readying myself for the resounding crack that was sure to be heard. There was a crack in the end, but on my side, away from where Max was standing. Max had just succeeded in landing one on Jesse! I didn't get my hopes up though, he may have fluked that time but he was still a hell of a lot smaller than Jesse. Another few cracks were heard and I felt myself flying through the air as I was flung away from the fight.

Eventually the stream of slaps and crunches receded into a trickle and whimpers were heard as someone went running down the stairs. I was immediately terrified again as the light still wasn't on and I had no idea who had won. Slow footsteps were heard coming towards me and I tensed up, ready for the real fight. I heard the person come closer and I became more and more apprehensive. Suddenly arms were around me and I squealed as I fought to get away.

'Shhhhh, it's OK, it's alright now.' I heard Max's voice and immediately relaxed into his arms. Only then did I let a sob escape. I was suddenly all out crying as I let out the fear that had been clutching at me. God I never wanted to go through anything like that again. Max rubbed my back softly and let me cry on his shoulder. I don't know how long I cried for but I remember feeling exhausted when I finished.
