tipsy (ish)

^^^destination, permanent vacation

"Scarlett! We haven't even left and you're already pissed!" Harry laughs from my bed as I trip over my feet whilst searching for my left shoe.

"Tipsy, not pissed Harry, there's a difference." I say as seriously as I can manage.

"Oh no Harry, has she gone and done it again?" I turn around to find my brother walking into my room, laughing at me as I tumble to the floor and give up searching for my red flats.

"Yeah Jake, she had a bunch of wine coolers and yeah.."

"Guuuys! I'm right here you know?" I giggle.

"Right. Come on Scar, we should get going now." Harry says grabbing my red flats, I knew I had them both!

He shoves them on my feet and pulls me up off the floor, and says a quick goodbye to Jake.

"I don't like this." I say, finally sobering up as Harry and I shove people out of the way to get in the door.

"Don't go all, I'm dying I'm dying on me again!" Harry laughs.

"Harry, panic attacks are not funny! I thought I was dying that time." I yell as we are almost consumed by a group of mental idiots.

"Orgi." Harry says between coughs as we find the kitchen, finding ourselves between a group of people shouting and moaning into each other.

We finally make it to the kitchen, and I walk over to the large table full of bottles and plain white styrofoam cups. I grab a bottle of something with a bright red sticker stuck on the front, the corners curling from the condensation.

"Are you sure you want to drink that?" I turn around to face Ashton, who has his arms open wide, awaiting a hug, which I gladly accept.

"I would rather be drunk than have to see these people." I say, my voice muffled by Ashton's shoulder.

"So you didn't already get a little, um, drunk at home?" He asks cautiously.

"She did. But she sobered up when we walked in the door." Harry says joining us beside the counter.

"Oh, are you okay Scar? Not you know...?" He asks, gently taking my face between his hands and watching my face closely. I nod slightly, and he pulls me in for another hug and eventually we both pull away.

Harry coughs to clear his throat, and ends up choking, but quickly pulls his hand up to his mouth to stop himself coughing as Eldon walks into the kitchen, swerving through the small groups of  people standing around.

"Hey Harry!" He smiles and walks over, eventually going into conversation with him.

"Well he's happy." I smile, before taking a drink out of the bottle.

"Yeah. Wish I was too." Ashton mutters, grabbing a beer for himself.

"I'm going to go find the bathroom, don't wanna be walking around pissing everywhere now do we?" I laugh as I turn to leave the kitchen.

"Thanks for that beautiful image Scarlett," Ashton laughs, "I guess I have to get back to Lee now, him and Rachel were planning to have a game of seven minutes in heaven. I really don't want to play." He says as we reach the bottom of the stairs at the end of the hall.

"Don't then?" I say, but as more of a question.

"I can't let him down, I mean I still owe him for that time I threw that party and my mom came home early." He laughs. I smile, remembering that night.

"Okay, well I have to pee so, um, see you soon!" I say climbing up the steps. I swerve past a couple of heated make out sessions on my way up the stupid spiral staircase, I mean who the hell has a spiral staircase?

A lame track starts to play downstairs, and I remember my earlier conversation with Hunter. The supposed DJ.

At the top of the steps I decide to turn left and have another sip of my drink. All of the doors are closed, apart from one.

Assuming it's the restroom, I walk over to it. Let me tell you now, unless you want to witness an uncomfortable looking five-some - yes five-some - then never, and I  mean never assume things.

Shuddering, I turn swiftly whilst finishing off my drink and search for the restroom. At the other end of the hall, a blue door with the words 'remember to wash your hands' and a smiley face, like a public toilet, printed over the front.

I knock to check if there's anybody in there.

"Y-yeah?" A voice says quietly from inside.

"Um..are you nearly done, it's just I need to use the restroom an-" the door swinging open cuts me off and I rush in, not bothering to take a glance at whoever just came out of the bathroom.

After finishing up in the restroom, I turn to the door and open it quickly to go and find Harry or Ashton again.

"Scarlett!" I turn around uncomfortably at the mention of my name.

"Over here!" I look straight ahead and come face to face with Hunter.

"Oh, Hunter."

"You sound disappointed." He pouts, and I would be lying if I said he wasn't cute.

"No, I just...I was looking for Harry or someone." I trail off beginning to walk away to the stairs.

"You should come with me, I'll show you my decks." He grins pulling my hand from the banister and pulling me behind him.

---

"Oh my god! You're so fucking pissed Scar!" Ashton slurs at me as we dance to 'American Idiot', blasting out of the speakers beside Hunter, I glance over and find him talking to someone who's back is turned to me.

"Well so are you Ash!" I giggle at his flailing arms. "I need to pee."

"Again?!"

"Ashy that was like...two hours ago. I'm going to pee now." I state before swiftly exiting the room and making my way up the god damned spiral staircase.

After I manage to use the restroom, I check my disheveled hair in the mirror and laugh at myself.

I walk out into the hall, but am stopped by something, or someone.

"Shit sorr- is that you Mr. Hood?" I ask looking at his face.

"Um..yeah, Scarlett?"

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at like some sort of college frathouse party since you're a student or whatever?" I ramble on. He chuckles lightly.

"Um I was invited."

"By who? You're a fucking teach- sorry a teacher."

"Hunter." He frowns.

"Why the hell did a student ask a teacher to come to a party?" I ask, as my face contorts into a look of confusion.

"I take it that Hunter doesn't want anybody to know about his cousin then, does he?"
