8:45 had rolled around and malani still wasn't home. i knew she was going with her friends, but i thought she'd be home by now.
"you know when mals coming home?" fezco sat down next to me on the couch, glancing down at my phone that was sat on my lap.
"no." i answered, with a groan i picked up my phone and went to text malani.
mal
ashtray yo when you coming home ?
i sat my phone back down, glancing at fez. and waited for her to respond.
... but once about five minutes had passed and she still didn't reply, i stood up, grabbing my phone and going to my room.
i pressed her contact, and listened to it start ringing. but almost immediately it went to voicemail, making me start to get pissed off.
i pressed 'call' again, "fucking answer, malani." i mumbled, but again, voicemail.
i didn't like that i was worried, i've never been worried about her before. but i am. and i have no idea where hazel lives so it's not like i can just go there and get her, like i want to.
"yo, fez!" i shouted, opening my door and walking back into the living room.
he turned to me, his eyebrows raised. "what?"
"try to call malani." i told him, standing behind the couch. he looked at me for second, before grabbing his voice and calling her. but just like mine, it went to voicemail.
i let out a frustrated sigh, running my hand down my face. "she isn't fucking answering."
slowly, he stood up. "ight.. cmon."
i furrowed my eyebrows, "what are you gonna do?"
he shrugged, grabbing his keys and walking to the door. "we can drive around or some shit, i don't know, ash."
i shook my head, but followed him out the door. i don't know her friends, but if they got her into some shit.. i swear.
fez drove around for what felt like hours, he didn't go far, because i knew her friends didn't live far.. so unless they decided to go somewhere, which isn't what she told me, she wasn't far.
i sighed, getting annoyed. "i don't fucking know fez but this isn't-." i stopped myself once i saw two girls coming out of a house.

it surprised me how fast malani gave in to drinking with hazel, i wasn't going to until she went over to her and the two started taking shots.
eventually, hazel poured out everything her mom told her, tears rubbing down her face as she was drunk and had no clue what she was saying. and, somewhere in her drunk mind, she decided it would be good to throw a party, as way to get back at her mom.. i guess?
and malani, also being drunk, agreed. and almost two hours later, half the school was at her house. some people had brought more alcohol.. and other stuff. and along the way, i lost malani.
usually, she would be me in this position. the sober one, watching me and hazel to make sure we didn't do anything stupid. but that was me now, and i wanted to scream because i couldn't find either of them.
i huffed, trying to push my way through all the sweaty, horny, intoxicated, teenagers in hazels living room. "please move!"
once i had made my way through everyone, my eyes landed on malani, sitting on the couch, a shot glass in her hand and a boy sitting next to her, scooting closer to her, as malani looked uninterested and nervous all at once.
"jesus christ." i mumbled, walking to them and grabbing malanis hand. "cmon, mal."
but the guy put his hand out, "hey! wait."
i rolled my eyes, shaking my head. "she has a boyfriend."
and with that, he looked embarrassed, and walked away. "cmon, malani." i repeated, pulling her up and setting her shot glass down.
i pulled her through the group of people, my grip on her wrist not leaving, and stopped once we reached hazel kitchen. "anna?" i heard her ask, standing next to me as i opened the fridge.
"what?" i answered, grabbing a water and opening it. "hey! where have you been?" she asked, like she had just noticed i was the one that pulled her here.
"looking for you." i sighed, forcing her to grab the water. "drink it, mal."
she glanced down at it, and the shrugged, drinking some of it. she would only drink a little, so i grabbed it back and set it down, before grabbing her wrist again and tried to lead her outside.
"hey! let's dance!" she yelled over the music, pulling her wrist back.
"no, malani. we're leaving!" i yelled back, grabbing her again and pushing her out the front door.
she groaned, as i forced her to walk down hazels steps and down to the side walk. oh shit, hazel!
i sighed in frustration, i cannot handle both of them. "malani.. i need to get hazel." i told her, but she looked at me like a confused toddler, so i knew i couldn't leave her alone outside.
"fuck." i mumbled, shaking my head and pushing her back over to hazels porch.

ashtrays pov again
i watched as the two stopped, and once one of them forced the other girls head up, i saw it was malani and her friend, anna.
"jesus." i whispered, shaking my head. a party? malani didn't tell me that.
"fez, she's right there." i pointed to the two, and he looked over, before pulling the car over right next to the house the two were walking back up to.
as soon as he parked i opened my door, walking up to them. annalise turned around, and immediately looked relieved. "fucking hell, ashtray. thank you!"
i rolled my eyes, as she moved malani to my arms. "ashtray! heyyy." malani smiled, putting her hand on my face.
annalise laughed, before gasping. "uh, i have to go get out other friend, but bye!" and with that ran inside, leaving me with malani who was still looking caressing my cheek. while doing so, i saw her phone in her back pocket.
"okay, malani." i moved her hand, and put my hands on her waist, leading her to the car and putting her in the back seat. i pushed her over a little, and then sat next to her.
"woah, where are we goin?" she asked, leaning her head on my shoulder.
"home." i answered, setting her phone on my lap.
"hom- oh, hey fez!" she smiled, looking up at him.
he chuckled a little, shaking his head. and she laid hers back on my shoulder.
"hey, where's anna?" she asked, playing with my her fingers.
"still at the party." i answered, laying my head on hers.
