"CLUB TIME!" Rachael screamed out of excitement

"Shut the fuck up." Hall-e said to her rolling her eyes. I giggled and so did Rachael.

Once we arrived I could hear the music blasting from outside. Rachael started walking with Hall-e following behind her. I started to make my way towards the doorway to get into the club.

I followed Rachael along with Hall-e as she went up to the bar and asked for three white claw shots.

"You're basic." Hall-e said looking at her after she had ordered

"And you're fat." Rachael replied back flipping her off

Hall-e rolled her eyes as the bartender came back with our drinks.

"Wooo!!! Now let's get drunk!" Rachael said and quickly downed her shot

Hall-e followed closed after and so did I. After a few shots I was starting to loosen up.

"Wanna dance?" Hall-e asked taking another shot

"Sure." I replied back. She started making her way to the dance floor and started dancing. I giggled at her horrible dancing and started dancing myself.

"Your dancing is shit." Hall-e said laughing to herself

"Says you!" I said laughing as I mimicked one of her dances

She laughed and continued dancing. After awhile I started to feel bored and wanted to go and check up on Rachael. I walked off the dance floor and made my way back to the bar. I took a quick look around and landed my eyes on Rachael talking to a tall brunette guy. I made my way over.

"Hey." I said trying to not interrupt what was happening

"Oh hi Ericka." She said turning her head to me. "Oh this is Jonah. Jonah this is Ericka." She said looking at the boy then back at me.

He stuck his hand out and I stuck mine out.

"Lovely to meet you." He said shaking my hand

"Nice to meet you too." I said pulling my hand back.

We were all talking when another brunette boy came up with a curly headed boy.

"Oh hey guys. Where's Corbyn and Daniel?" He asked handing them both shots.

"Our in the dance floor last time I saw them." The curly headed boy said. Him and the brunette both took their shots.

"Oh this is Ericka, Rachael's cousin." Jonah said putting his glass down.

"This is Zach" He said pointing to the brunette. "And this is Jack." He then pointed to the curly headed boy.

We started taking shots and soon after Hall-e came back with supposedly Daniel and Corbyn. We all talked and laughed after awhile Rachael started yawning and complaining about going home.

"Well if you guys want we can take you home." Corbyn suggested.

"No we live too far." Rachael complained.

"Do you guys just wanna stay at our house then?" Jonah asked looking at the three of us.

"Sure." Rachael and Hall-e said together. I shook my head up and down in agreement.

Then soon we were all in 2 different cars heading over to their house. Once we made it Rachael was complaining about how there was no food in the house and soon had her, Jonah, Corbyn, Jack, Daniel, and Hall-e going to town to get some food. Leaving me and Zach at their house.

They soon left and it was just me and Zach. Luckily it wasn't awkward because I was drunk so we wouldn't have to worry about making small talk. So we sat on the couch and watched a movie together. While watching the movie I got a call from Hall-e complaining how they weren't going to be able to get home because a shooter was threatening people inside the store they were in.

Me being the drunk ass I am I started crying.

"Woah what happened?" He asked

"THEY ARE GOING TO DIE!" I sobbed falling to the floor crying

Zach fell down to the floor next to me holding me.

"What? What happened? Are they okay?!" He started asking.

"Apparently there is a shooting happening in the store they are in and they can't leave." I said through sobs.

"Hey, I'm sure they will be fine." Zach said rubbing my back.

"How about we do something to distract ourselves?" Zach asked looking down at me

I sniffled. "Like what?"

"A game? Maybe another movie?" He said trying to think of things we could do.

I looked up at him and wrapped my hands around his neck and kissed him. He was still then kissed back. Soon after he pulled away.

"Or that..." he said chuckling. I could feel myself blushing from how embarrassed I felt.

"Sorry!" I said moving away from him.

He laughed, "It's fine."

Zach then started smirking. "Maybe next when you aren't drunk we can get to know each other a little better." He said as he stood up and winked at me.

He walked over to me and helped me up. He had me lay down on the sofa with him as we finished the rest of the movie.

Soon it became night and I was getting very tired. The rest of them still were stuck at the store. I was starting to feel a hangover happen. Zach came back with water for me and laid down on the sofa with a blanket.

He looked at me and then back to the blanket.

"Come here." He said chuckling. I made my way over to him and cuddled. I ended falling asleep.

A little later I woke up to Zach snoring. I giggled. I drank some water to help with the hangover and checked my phone. There was a message from Hall-e about 6 minutes ago saying they were able to come back and that everyone was fine.

I sighed with relief and heard Zach moving. I looked over and he was awake with a confused face. I giggled and then sat down next to him.

"You hungry?" He asked looking at me grabbing his phone.

"Yeah." I giggled.

"This time I'll just door dash instead of going to the store." He said chuckling.
