Cold Nights

party favors

song:

high school was finally over for the group. now it was the summer before everyone would leave for college, which meant there was no excuse to not party every night.

to this group of girls, partying had become a lifestyle. in their minds there was nothing better than the taste of alcohol and the sweat that dripped down their skin from how hard they danced.

but there were two girls out of all seven who were slowly changing their ways. jules and izzy stayed out the latest, danced the longest, and kept their phones on silent all night long.

there was only one thing that ruined their nightly partying, and his name was michael. it wasn't that he was a bad person or did her any wrong, it was just that once izzy broke up with him to continue her journey of her teenage years, michael became obsessive with the things she did.

when she'd attend parties people would find him staring at her across the room, observing who she spoke to and how much she drank. she didn't notice this though, she was too busy chugging down shots to think about anything else besides the way the room span.

although, there was one who took notice on michael's obsession. it was a guy named andrew. him and michael hated each other, probably because both wanted to be the one izzy looked for when the parties were over. michael was just bitter because andrew was winning and he couldn't figure out why.

but izzy knew why. she loved how special andrew knew how to make her feel. his hands didn't just touch her body, but her soul too, and he enjoyed to watch her dance, something michael never did.

izzy loved her weird relationship with andrew because it was the complete opposite of her and michael's. it wasn't that she hated micheal, it was just that he reminded her of the girl she used to be.

he loved her when she wanted to stay inside and watch movies each weekend, or when the smell of alcohol was repulsive to her. and he couldn't understand the change she felt inside when she began falling in love with all the things she once hated.

but andrew loved all these new things about izzy. he watched her morph into a better version of herself, and supported her through each shot she took. andrew understood the person she now was, and didn't question anything she did.

he made her feel secure about who she had become.

there was nothing perfect about izzy and andrew's on going "thing" though. they would still argue over dumb things, like where he went once he'd drop her off at jules house for the night, or how high he was whenever they went out.

but nothing would keep them apart for long. their sexual tension and connection was too strong to ever give up. they craved it all the time, hence why they could never truly call it quits with each other.

as for jules, her life was more complex in other ways. she didn't struggle with an ex lover attempting to ruin her vibe, but more so her current one attempting to ruin their so called- "relationship".

in josh's mind, he was allowed to do anything he wanted without a single complaint leaving jules lips. but if she ever dared to play games back with him, all hell would break loose.

secretly they loved this though. it made their flame hotter and their makeup sex better. jules loved to have josh begging to let him back in her bed whenever he was done with another girl. in her head that spoke volumes about the connection they had.

call it cheating, call it fake love, to them it was normal behavior. they'd constantly catch each other cheating and then do it back as revenge. the end result of this cycle was always new sex tapes that they'd enjoy watching together in the future.

it didn't matter how many times josh would sabotage their relationship, she just loved him too much to see how bad he was for her. she knew they would always be end game anyway.

so the four of them would drive to parties together, with josh driving and jules in the passenger seat. that left room for izzy and andrew to makeout in the backseat, the speakers drowning out their soft moans and groans as they tugged on one another's clothes.

"will you two get a fucking room" josh spit, his eyes quickly rolling back as his hand held tightly onto the wheel, the other on jules thigh.
