My body starts to get feeling back into my limbs. I don't want to wake up yet. I like my sleep. :(
Today's the party. But this morning means getting everything ready.
I open my eyes and realise on the floor. Sitting up I see Marshal spread out of the bed. Asshole pushed me off in his sleep again. Eventually I get up and head to the kitchen for breakfast. Luna is already there and Big A, making omelettes.
"Big one please." I ask and lean on the bench.
"Ok darlin." Luna replies.
Big A wraps his arms around Luna's wait while she's cooking and casually kisses her cheek every now and then. Everybody knew that they were mates even before they met each other. And as soon as they did they took one look at each other and muttered, at the same time, mate.
Yeah it sounds pretty stupid but it's true. They're great together. No one has ever seen Big A and Luna so happy together.
Luna puts one omelette on a plate and hands it to Big A. He leans on the bench next to me and starts eating while Luna starts on another.
Eventually Marshal wakes up as I'm halfway through my brekkie. He pinches a bit off my plate so I smack his hand with the fork.

After hours and hours of decorating, setting up the instruments to look better, cooking, getting more alcohol and making sure everybody is coming, I decide to go home and get ready myself. Good thing Ryan left my bike for me.
Eventually I get home and go up to my room. I blast Middle Fingers Up by Attila while I pick something to wear and do my makeup.
I settle on this to wear: (pic up top)

I straighten my black and blue hair, but think of something. Do I have time?
I look at the clock. I have plenty of time! I call Ryan and tell him to go to the pharmacy to pick up bleach for hair and really light blond hair dye.
I separate my hair into three layers. The top layer will still be black. The second layer will be blue, I still have some dye left over but I have to bleach some of the second layer, and the third will be whitish blond.
By the time I get it ashes, dried, and straightened again, it's time to go. I have to be a bit early. I quickly make sure my makeup is good then get to where Ryan and dad wait in the lounge.
"Ready?" I ask.
"Yeah. Let's go." Dad grabs the keys. "And please, for the love of god, don't get too drunk tonight. Jamie, you're only sixteen and already doing all this. Ryan, I don't want you to be a dad at seventeen."
I roll my eyes and nod. I grab my beanie and my best pick before we go.
As we roll up the driveway I jump out and run to the front door. I go straight through to the back and see all that we've worked on today, light up in the beautiful night.
All the fairy lights, everything. Awesome.
I go to my guitar and make sure nobody's messed with it. I strum a few cords and decide it's alright.
After a while the party gets going. Noise it up and people are drunk. A few people decided it was a smart thing to strip and run down the street. I pissed myself laughing. Right now, it's our time to perform.
We head on stage and start playing. People automatically cheer, either because they're drunk or because there's a band. Well kind of.
I have a few drinks and so does Ryan and Marshal. Things start to get hazy.

God my head hurts. All I can remember from last night is that it was epic. My eyes slowly open and I see I'm in my room but feel so,some next to me. I turn my head slowly and see Marshal drooling with his arm over me. I think all he's wearing is a pair of boxers. Well I hope because I can't see that far with the blanket over us.
I look at myself and see I'm still in the same clothes as last night. Alrighty then. I grab my phone beside me and look through my photo so for any clues. Nothing too bad.
It's later on in the day and I've picked up my guitar from Marshals place. I sit in the back shed and plug it in but keep the volume to a normal. Usually I blast it but I don't want everyone in here or interrupting. Sometimes I just want to be alone and sing by myself. Usually, if I'm not hyper and not acting a certain way, then I don't like to sing in front of people, well my music that is.
I close the shed door. And start to sing.

"I took a walk around the world
To ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere
in the sands of time
But I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon

I felt there's nothing I could do, yeah

I watched the world float
to the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be
something to do with you
I really don't understand what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me superman
If I'm alive and well, with you be
there a-holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonight

You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times
I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped you head,
If not for me then you'd be dead
I picked you up and put you back on solid ground.

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me superman.
If I'm alive and well,
Will you be there a-holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might.
Kryptonight. "

I finish off the guitar solo and smile at myself. I didn't mess up once.
"Jamieheeeeeeeeeeheheee!" Marshal.
He opens the shed door and stumbles over to the little half wrecked couch we have in here. My eyes start drifting over his eyes, to his plump lips, his neck to his chest. God he's so hot and cute at the same time. How is that even possible.
Wait? What the fuck?! He's my best mate! Eww.
"Wow." I mutter.
"What? You probably stink too." He sasses at me.
Ok. Let's go with that then. "Oh hewl no. I do not stink. I had a shower. Plus I wasn't the one who decided it was a good idea to change and go swim in a lake."
"I did that?" He looks at me with complete disgust and horror.
I was watching one of the videos on my phone and Marshal basically explained it all before he did it. Strange child.
"Mmhm. I have it on video." I pick up my phone and throw it to him.
While he looks through the pictures I mess around with my guitar and play a few things.
All of a sudden a smash sounds on the shed door and Luna wrenches it open.
"Marshal. I need to talk to you for a second."
