Learning to Live

chapter 13- What the hell happened last night

I wonder when the alarm clock will go off I thought to myself lazily stretching in my bed, still not ready to open my eyes and get up fully. Feeling a strong breeze I got to cover myself with the blanket, and can’t find it. I roll to the side thinking it would be on the other side of the bed as a result of me kicking it off, and suddenly I’m falling to the floor, my face smacking hard against a hard wood floor.

At that moment 3 terrifying facts came flying into my head,

1. I do not have hard wood in my bed room.

2. I have a queen sized bed, there’s no way that little turn could have landed me on the floor.

3. I never came home last night.

As soon as the last sentence came into my head, my eyes snapped open, quickly taking in my surroundings. I can see three girls passed out on the floor, their too short skirts riding up and showing waay to much skin for my liking. Groaning I realized a throbbing in my temple, something tells me I drank last night but I can’t fully remember why I would even think of drinking. I’ve never drank before! My mom’s going to kill me!

Shit,

My mom! Srambling around I start running around the house in search of the black bag I brought yesterday to hold my phone .I found it covered in a pile of red plastic cups, some of them still containing bit of vodka and beer that the kids from the party were drinking.

Taking out my phone I put in the pass code to see the most terrifying sight I will ever see in my life.

1 missed call from David

3 missed calls from Anthony

15 missed calls from mom

The first 2 people who called are not what scared the living shit out of me. It was the fact that my mother called me. My mother who grounded me. And who must obviously know by now that I’m not home, and is waiting to skin me alive for sneaking out.

My stomach was in knots as I called her back, expecting the worse but praying for the best.

After 3 rings she picked up the phone oddly calm.

“Finally. I’ve only been trying to get a hold of you all night now “she said clearly exasperated that I haven’t answered her calls. I was expecting anger but all I was receiving was calmness.

“I’m sorry -" I replied before she cut me off

“Its fine you must have still been sleeping, I was just calling to apologize for leaving in the middle of the night last night. The boss called in and asked me to go to a conference today in California so I had to leave right then and there to catch the plane. You understand right?”

I felt like sinking down to my knees and kissing the floor hearing her say that! I wasn’t caught! And she’s halfway across the country by now.

“Casey?" she said when I still didn’t reply

“Oh yeah sorry, and its fine mom I understand but I really have to go and get ready for school now... so bye!” I said before hanging up

This is just way too good to be true!

Looking at my clock I realized how true my statement was, it was already 7 o clocks and I was still at Stacey’s house!

Grabbing my sneakers and bag I ran out the door in search of the car that we came here in, hoping that the boys hadn’t broken their own rule and left me here by myself. Sure enough down the street I could see the car still parked, inside were all the boys sleeping.

Well at least they didn’t drive drunk I thought to me. Despite the circumstances that I was in I couldn’t help but grin at all the faces that were being made by the boys while they slept.

Sam And Lances faces were smashed against the glass on both of the windows in the backseat, Between them was Harvey with his head tipped back and mouth wide open probably snoring .

Sleeping shot gun was Phineas who was curled up, and probably really uncomfortable due to his neck being bent at a weird angle on the window.

Anthony slept in the driver’s seat, but just as I went to knock on his widow to get him to open up his whole body went forward and slammed right into the horn.

Immeadiatly all the boys were up, shaken from the loud obnoxious honk. Knocking on the window I motioned for them to unlock the door so I could slide in.

Since they were obviously still half asleep it took them a while to comprehend what was going on.

When they finally opened the door allowing me to slide in I was greeted with a very hard slap on the head.

What the hell I thought angrily to myself.

“Where the hell were you " Harvey yelled while shaking my shoulders

“I should be asking you guys the same thing! What happened to sticking together! “I retorted back

“Case. We looked everywhere for you, one minute you were with us the next minute you weren’t! We found you an hour later wasted out of your mind being carried off by David! “Phineas said, slightly calmer than Harvey

“And you guys let me go with him! Are you kidding me! You guys all know that he’s a creep why would you let me go off with him! "I said getting madder by the second. Nothing they were saying was calming me down.

“Case, you passed out we went with him to find you a place to sleep until we got some of the alcohol out our system. We found you a bed-"

“Then why the hell did I wake up on the couch! Surrounded by half of our school!" I yelled back, not letting Phineas finish his explanation

"If you would let me finish I would explain!” Phineas said, finally losing his cool

“We laid you in bed, and by the time we were ready to leave you had woken up and wandered off. We looked everywhere for you! We even asked half the people there but they were all too smashed to care about what we were trying to tell them! “He finished, basically glaring at me by the end of it.

Oh.

'" I’m sorry” I said quietly “I thought you guys just left "

This earned me another smack on the head. I’m just getting a hell of allot of those this morning!

“That for thinking we would leave you " Anthony said cheerily

“By the way, I heard you did a table dance” Sam said grinning evilly at me as my mouth flopped open, unable to detect if he was telling the truth or not.

“You really need to work on those dance moves" Lance said, smirking at my horrified expression.

All at once the boys were dying of laughter tears coming from their eyes until no sound was coming from their mouth’s and they were just silently laughing , making weird gasping noises along the way .

“Oh...My ...God....You...Should...Have seen...Your... face!" Sam said between laughs

“I can’t believe that I actually believed you “I mumbled, beyond embarrassed.

“But in all honesty, we don’t know what you did, or who you got drunk with “Harvey said suddenly serious.

Oh great, I most likely made a fool of myself last night, and I can’t remember anything about it!
