Path of the Damned: Consequences

Final Chapter: Together

"SHOTS!" 

The party at Tabby's was just as raucous as the last one. Tabby had just announced to all of her new friends that they would be taking shots of Fireball whiskey in the kitchen. She had begun to pass them out as they all walked up to her one by one.

She winked as she handed Robin hers. Warned Cole not to choke on his when she gave him his. Complimented Josiah and Ash on how cute of a couple they were when she passed off theirs. 

She eyed up Josh as he made his way over to her last. She handed him a noticeably larger shot glass than the others she had just dished out. She smiled as he took it in his hands and looked at it intently.

"This is clearly a double!" He yelled at her, trying to make his voice heard over the loud music.

"So? Scared?" She responded.

Josh sighed and shook his head no.

"Great!" She said with glee as she held up her own shot glass, filled to the brim with whiskey.

They all clinked their glasses together before taking the shots. They all downed the alcohol before putting the glasses down and winced at the strong taste of cinnamon. Tabby pulled out her phone and began messing with it as she leaned her body up against Josh. 

"What's up?" Josh said, feeling butterflies in his stomach.  

"Changing the song....you like Fetty wap?" Tabby said while still looking down at her phone.

"Not really..." Josh responded.

"Too bad!" She said while looking up at him with a slimy grin. 

"RGF Island" by Fetty Wap began to blast throughout the house. Many of the teenagers began to jump up and down as they yelled out the lyrics with the song.

"Alright then. You got a lot more people here this time, and I didn't even think that was possible." Josh said to her as she began to dance in front of him.

"You know, I have quite the way with words nowadays." She laughed as her eyes very briefly shimmered pink. 

"You sure do. You think you could use said words to invite some of my other friends next time?" Josh said to her.

"Hmmmm, you better not be talking about Shane..." She said, as she continued to dance. 

"Hey now, Shane and I made up today, so he's back to the guy we all used to know. But I'm really talking like Cesar and Dillan, the rest of them, this isn't really their thing." Josh said, knowing that Rose, Jojo, and Jimmy wouldn't get much enjoyment from a loud house party. 

"Awww that's so cute I'm happy for you two!" She said in a mocking tone about Shane.

"I remember Cesar....which one is Dillan again?" She asked him.

"The one with the dark dyed hair and gauges." Josh replied.

"EW!  No way I would invite that guy! He griddies un-ironically!" She said with disgust.

"Well at least I tried." Josh said, giving up on the conversation. 

Some time passed by as the party raged on into the night. Eventually Cole asked Josh if he wanted to step outside to get some fresh air. The two boys made their way outside, brushing past the crowds of people in their way. The front yard was much more peaceful than the first party and they were the only ones out there. The pair of them sat down next to the front door and began laughing and joking with one another. After some time, they noticed that there was figure sprinting down the street in their general direction.
