Love or Right

Chapter 3

I walk through the hall, while tipsy teenagers are, well, tipsy. I head towards the kitchen to get a drink when a drunk tall, blonde haired, Jake wraps his long muscular arms around my waist pulling my chest against his. "Hey babe" he says with booze lingering in his breath. "Let's go upstairs" he says in my ear.

I push him away by his chest. "Not tonight, your drunk" I say backing away.

"Come on" he say pulling me closer again.

"No" I begin "I don't want too"

"Babe, come on" he says again.

"Goodnight Jake" I say pushing him off and storming out the door.

The front deck has a set of chairs and on both of them there are teenagers drunk and pasted out. I go towards my car when I realized I had 3 drinks. I'm not drunk but that's too much to drive.

I look around the yard to see for somebody I know. The yard is almost empty and the ones that are there had more to drink than me.

I hate taking cabs, but you got to do what you got to do. I take out my phone and turn my back to the road looking at the house.

I begin dialing the number when a tall, average size, brown haired, zebra/tiger, I mean he isn't full emo but he isn't a bad boy, with a black leather jacket and white shirt and jeans. Hence the black and white.

He notices me studying him and I can tell from the look in his eye he is thinking of a snarky comment to make.

He wants past without a hitch, so he isn't drunk. I've seen him before but I can't think of his name. Is it Jayson? no, its John. yeah that's what it is! "Hey, uh, John!" I call out to him trying to catch up to him.

"It's Jayson" he says with a smirk.

"I knew that actually, that's what I thought it was at first" I say walking beside him. He gives me a look telling me yeah right. "No I really did"

"Okay, so what is it you want Jayde " he knows my name. Wait. "How did you know I wanted something?"

"First time you talked to me in 7 years. You want something. So what is it?" he begins, "Smokes, beer, drugs"

"Okay stop, I don't do drugs! And I don't and never will smoke!" I yell." All I wanted was a ride home, but maybe I'm better off walking" I say turning the other way when I trip on the side walk and my body begins to fall toward the hard ground. I brace myself, when an arm goes around my waist, and my body stops in midair.

I open my eyes to see the ground just before me and I feel my body being lifted to my feet. "I can give you a ride home." Jayson says leading me to his truck.

He begins to open the door when I stop him. "I can open my own damn door" I say with my hand on the door handle. I pull on it and the door opens. I step into the truck and put my seatbelt on. I look at him.

"Okay, you won't let me open the door, but you make me shut it." he says with a chuckle. He shuts the door and begins walking around the front of the truck when I lean over and hit the horn and burst out laughing when he jumps.

He gets in the truck and looks at me. I look at the floor of the truck and chuckle quietly while he starts the engine.

He backs out of his parallel parking place and begins driving down the road towards my house.

We pull in my drive way and he stops infront of the door. My parents are asleep so they won't even notice I drank a little.

I slide out of the truck and wave goodbye before shutting the door and walking into my house.

It was dark inside as I creep up the stairs and into my room. I walk into my bathroom, I strip off my clothes and step into the shower and let the water run over my face and body.

After a few minutes I grab the shampoo bottle and pour some shampoo in my hand and mix it in my hair.

I wash the shampoo out of my hair then put the conditioner in my hair. I wash my body quickly followed by the conditioner in my hair.

I turn off the tap and wrap the towel around me. I put on a pair of blue pajamas and walk into my bedroom. I put my dirty clothes in the basket and turn the light off. I walk carefully to my bed and slip under the covers and drift to sleep.
