Benjamin
We pulled onto the street of where the party was and there was just a lot of cars parked in front and on the sides of the house. I put my mask on as we parked in an empty spot. As we entered in the door the music was blaring and everyone was wearing a costume my friend already found a group of ladies he started talking to and I went off to go get a drink. This was like any average party seen in movies where there were a bunch of drunks playing games, dancing to music and jumping into the pool in the back yard. I poured myself a mixture of beverages and slipped my mask up just enough to drink from my cup. I headed to where people were dancing to music and out of the corner of my eye I saw a girl staring at me. She was dressed as a cowgirl. She couldn't see my face behind my mask but she could tell I was staring back. Just then I saw a guy snake his arms around her waist and pull her close to him. The guy was wearing a red devil mask and tilted his head at me noticing that I was staring. The girl ushered a whisper to him with a frowning face. I looked where his arms where and saw that he was squeezing her. He lifted his mask and started talking back to her in an angry low whisper. I couldn't make out what he was saying but it looked like an argument ready to start. I walked over and they both stopped talking and looked at me. The girl gave me a meek smile.
Is everything alright?
Everything's just fine
He had replied. He had jet black hair and was dressed as a greaser. He walked up to me and said
You shouldn't be getting involved in peoples personal shit.
When I see a problem I like to check on things.
I put my hands up showing that I wasn't a threat and the girl started messing with her light brown hair refusing to look at me.
Is everything okay?
I asked again as I looked towards her trying to get a response and all she did was nod.
Listen man we're all good just had a little disagreement that's all.
Alright I apologize for getting involved.
I said as I started to turn around and head outside to the pool area. I sat outside and pulled out the joint I didn't get to finish earlier and lit it. I let out a deep breath in frustration. I never liked seeing girls treated like that I could tell just from going up to them that this guy was toxic. I wished I could have done something but I know it wasn't my place. I heard a slam and looked towards the entrance to inside and saw the girl from earlier walking out she leaned against the wall with a drink in her hand. I got up and walked over, now that she was alone I wanted to make sure she was actually okay.
Hey, I know I asked this earlier but I wanted to check up on you again
She smiled.
I'm just fine. I can handle myself
Of course I didn't mean to interfere or anything I just wanted to help
You seem really nice I appreciate the concern but I'll be alright.
Her smile dropped as she looked towards the door I turned to see what she was looking at and her boyfriend had come out.
Oh so you're one of those fuck heads huh?
He said.
Pardon?
I watched you go up to my girlfriend when I wasn't with her just so you could get alone with her.
I was just checking on her man
I don't believe that's all.
He seemed really drunk and out of it and I didn't want to cause trouble anymore. I took a step towards the door to head back inside to not further drama or attention on us and felt a heavy shove on my back. I tripped over myself and looked up and noticed he pushed me. My temper is very short fused and I shot up and punched him. His girlfriend looked shocked and it felt like this was a teenage drama movie. He grabbed me by the wrist and twisted pushing me towards the pool. I stumbled backwards about to fall in. I felt someone grab my hand and I saw that it was his girlfriend. For a second I was leaned over the pool as she was holding my weight. I was surprised at how strong she was and then... we both fell in. As I swam to the corner to get out his girlfriend rushed past me and walked right up to him. He started to talk but she cut him off by kicking him right in the sensitive bits. I winced seeing that she kicked him with her cowboy boot. That must have hurt like a motherfucker. I heard her tell him
I'm sick of the way you treat people and me. You're done. We are done
He fell the the ground clutching himself. She walked back over and asked if I was okay I coughed and nodded.
My friend and her boyfriend are actually hosting this party I can she if they have some spare clothes around seeing as we are both soaking now.
I followed her and we went to find her friend. Her friend saw her and her jaw dropped looking us up and down seeing that we were absolutely drenched. Her friend took her aside and whispered taking glances at me. I was still wearing my ghost face mask it felt so cold in the house. She came back over to me.
So my friend has some clothes upstairs in her room we can go get some there, she said her boyfriend would be cool with you borrowing something as well.
Thank you.
I replied and followed her up the stairs.
