-life as we knew it-

Chapter 1:

"Mattttttttt I'm home." Alexis yelled as she walked into her upper east side Manhattan apartment.
"Skate you shit I'm back." Annalisse, skate's girlfriend yelled as she walked in. Skate ran down the steps and kissed Annalisse.
"Long day at work I see?" Skate said as he checked his nonexistent wrist watch.
"Not bad, patrol mostly, one fight on the corner of 47th, but nothing bad." Annalisse said smirking. Annalisse and Alexis had met in the Academy and met their boyfriends Matt and Skate at a call on the job. Ever since they've been really close, considering they lived in the same apartment. Matt had walked in with Sloane, Alexis' best friend since kindergarten.
"Hey S, hey babe." Alexis said as she walked up to Matt and pulled him in close. Her leather belt rubbed against his waist.
"Babe it was such a long day, Wall Street isn't easy." Matt said.
"Your girlfriends a cop at the age of 22, you're kidding right?" Alexis said laughing. Right as Matt had pulled Alexis into kiss her forehead, Jack,Jack,Helena,and Sammy ran down the steps.
"YO GUYS HELENA SOUNDS SO GOOD IN THIS NEW SONG WERE WORKING ON." Jack J yelled. Helena smiled,
"Shut up you big doof, Kinlee's sleeping"
"Yeah not anymore goddamn johnson you can be loud." Kinlee said laughing.
"Well let's go hear it then" Sloane said.
The group walked up the twisted flight of steps until they reached the studio. Even though Matt had retired from his vining days, jack and jack and sammy and nate were all still very big in the music industry. Jack G sat in front of the sound board when Sloane (jacks girlfriend) scooted on the same chair as him and rested her head on his shoulder. Jack J hugged Helena from behind, while kinlee and Sammy stood holding hands. Annalisse rested on the couch next to skate, while matt and alexis were sitting side by side on the chair next to gilinsky. The song played and the lyrics flowed.
"Damn Helena you've gotten so so so good!" Kinlee said.
"Forreal Helena, next tour your coming with." Jack G said.
Annalisse and Alexis walked to their boyfriends bedrooms and threw on their old jerseys and sweatpants.
"MATT, YOUR COMING DOWNSTAIRS TO MAKE DINNER WITH ME" Alexis yelled from Matts room.
----------------------------------------------
Matt walked in to his room,
"Hey let's go start......woah you look good in my clothes." Matt said smirking.
"Yeah I know I wear them better than you do." She said with a laugh to follow. Matt pushed alexis onto the bed and began to kiss her neck.
"No no, we have dinner to make." Alexis said deviously.
"Ugh are you serious? Isn't it Kinlee and Sammy's night anyways?"
"Nope they made dinner last night because you didn't feel good so let's go chicken nugget." Alexis said with a bright smile. Matt whimpered as they walked down the stairs.
"Macaroni and Cheese is always good!" Matt said as he pulled out four boxes. Alexis took out the pot and boiled the water, she dumped the powdery cheese into the boiling pot as matt strained the pasta.
"I know you wanted to make this just so we can get upstairs faster." Alexis said laughing.
Kinlee and Sam came running down the stairs with Sloane and Jack, Annalisse and Skate, And Jack and Helena to follow.
"HMMMMMM MAC AND CHEESE THAT SMELLS BETTER THAN THE WEED I USED TO SMOKE." Skate said.
Annalisse hit skate upside the head,
"Perks of dating a cop sonny boy."
"Yeah yeah I know."
The apartment became drug and smoke free after Annalisse started dating skate and they all moved in together.
"I remember the exact words, "hit me up when you learn to control that stinky ass weed problem." Alexis said laughing,
"At least matt wasn't smoking, he was just a little drunk that night." Annalisse said. They all laughed.
"Hell me and Gilinsky, we met in high school, remember lex?" Sloane said laughing. Sammy, Jack,Jack,Skate, Alexis, and Sloane were all from omaha. Once they all moved to the big city, Alexis met annalisse in the academy and were soon partners. When one night alexis caught sammy out with skate and matt (an old buddy of theirs from magcon) smoking and drinking. Soon enough skate fell in love with annalisse, Alexis and matt hooked up one night and that's how it all happened. Sloane had been dating jack g before the big move and then Helena and kinlee who were best friends met jack j and sammy in a college course. Helena set the table with johnson,
"Guys tonite me and sammy decided to take everyone out for shots!" Kinlee said excited.
"So once were done, everyone needs to get ready so we can go." Sammy said smiling.
Everyone sat around the table and ate as fast as they could. Sammy and Skate shared a room, Alexis and Annalisse shared a room, Helena and Kinlee, Jack J and Matt, and considering Jack G and Sloane were dating the longest, they got their own room. Everyone got dressed pretty decent, Alexis and Annalisse wore ripped skinny jeans. Alexis wore her usual set of heels, while Annalisse wore her UGGS. The boys were dressed in chinos or jeans and Sloane had on a tight black dress. Kinlee had on a dress similar to sloanes but in white and Helena wore nice maroon jeans and a white tshirt. They called an Über car considering the fact tonight might get a little crazy. It always did when all of them went out together. Two Über's came to fit all of them and they were off.
----------------------------------------------
The bar was lit and people lined the sidewalk waiting to get in. Gilinsky led the group up to the front,
"Hey foushee how ya been?" Gilinsky said smiling. Foushee unhinged the red velvet rope and let the whole group walk in. They all walked over to the bar where skate put down the payment for the first round of shots,
"AND SHOTS" Johnson yelled as they all took one and smiled. Soon enough Matt was putting down money for the next round,
"AND SHOTS" Kinlee yelled. They took there shot, and the girls walked out onto the dance floor while the guys stayed at the bar.
"Damn G you're one lucky man, look at Sloane go." Matt said.
"Look at your guys' girls, they're flawless, we've been blessed guys." They all turned around and gilinsky put down the money for the next round of shots.
"AND SHOTS" Sammy yelled.
Gilinsky looked over to Sloane dancing where a handsome young looking man began to dance with her. Gilinsky pushed through the crowd,
"Dude back off, she's mine" The guys came to back up gilinsky,
"Yeah get out of here, I'll land your ass in a hospital" Skate said grabbing Annalisse by the waist. Each of the boys pulled their girlfriends back to the bar,
"Shots anyone?" Alexis offered.
Another line of shots were lined up,
"AND SHOTS" Annalisse yelled. They took their round of shots. By midnight fifteen rounds of shots had been completed. The bar tender tugged on Helena's shirt,
"Shall I call you guys your Über's?"
"Hell yeah man!" Drunk out of their minds they walked out to the Über's.
Johnson was still stable enough to direct the Über cars back to the apartments. Once arrived Matt pulled Alexis up the stairs. He closed the door to his room,
"I missed you" Matt said slurring his words.
"Same here" Alexis said. Matts lips crashed onto hers and soon enough.........
