Between the creepy 20-year-old, talking to my crush, and the weird text interaction I'm ready to get drunk.

I didn't see Elana for the rest of the night but I was too busy grabbing cup after cup to care. Me and Kaylee were playing drinking games and having the most fun I had in a while. "Heyyyy Oakland" Kaylee spoke in drunken slurs. "Yeah, what's up?" "Don't you have to drive home?" Kaylee stuttered. Oh shit, I do have to drive home "Fuccck way to ruin the mood Kaylee" I slur half joking. I'm not trying to become a drunk driving accident statistic. "I'll just crash hear for the nighttt." "Girl no that's SO trashy I took an Uber here you can hop in the one back." I think for a second. I can drive in Kaylee's car back here, so I can pick it up after school tomorrow. That means I have to take the bus damn." Bet I kind of want to go now" "K I'll order it right now."

Kaylee ordered the Uber we said bye to Tyler and walked outside to wait. "It's a...black Toyota Corolla... OH, I SEE IT" Kaylee muttered. I looked up and I saw the car pull up. We grab our bags and hop in the black tint car stumbling still drunk as fuck.

"Where you lady's heading" the driver spoke turning to the back seat. He's wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses at least that's what I think. I'm too drunk to focus."Two stops I sent both addresses in the app." Kaylee spoke "Looks like y'all had a fun time. My daughters around y'all's age" the driver commented semi-sarcastically."What does she look like" I asked in curiosity. He takes one hand off the wheel and grabs his phone. He opens his photo app and goes into an album. "This is her at our favorite restaurant before her first day" She was extremely pretty she had brown skin and red braids to her hip. She had on skinny jeans black shirt cropped jacket and Air Force's.

"She's really pretty sir what school does she go to?" "Northern Reagan high." The name rings a bell I see it on my way to my school it's in a nice county." Okay, I'm here Who's house is this" "Mine" I replied, "Thank you for the ride it was nice talking to you." I added "KAYLEE WAKE UP" I slightly yelled she was passed out"WHAT? WHAT" "your stop is next please stay up," I said worried "okay okay Mom" Kaylee spoke jokingly."Hey, it was my pleasure have a safe night." The driver joked. "You too" I smiled shutting the door and stumbling home. I see my mom's car in the driveway pure terror hits me shaking me to my core

OH.SHIT.

The initial shock sobered me a bit as I came to my senses. I stand frozen still on my front lawn like a deer in headlights. Mentally preparing to be grounded for life. I then started to slowly walk towards the door" She's going be heated" I gulped through grinned teeth. I make my way to the front doorstep. I'm practically sweating, everything starts to feel like a fervor dream. I sigh in an attempt to calm my nerves. I place my hand on the doorknob take a second and twist it open." Hey God, it's me again" I mumbled half joking making light of the situation as I opened the door.

I'm still focusing my head on my feet entering my home. I feel someone staring dead at me."oh fuck" I thought to myself as a lookup biting my lip, but when I looked up it was not my mom. It was a guy he was white with light brown hair. Shaved but still had stubble around his lip, wearing white button-down slacks pants, and sneakers. He looks like he just got off of work. As I stare' at him still a nervous wreck he stares right back at me fixing his tie. " You must be Oakland right" he says trying to make conversation."Y...yea yea that's me" I stutter trying to make sense of what the hell is happening. "Well I'm Mark it was nice meeting you but I have to get going," He replied while holding his hand out."Yea same here" I say as I shake his hand. he then walks behind me opening the door and closing it.

Then it all starts to click. The unexpected date,  the car in the driveway is his and I was too drunk to notice it. He left quickly and fixed himself. "JESUS CHRIST MOOOM" I yell in realization and disappointment. I mean she and my bio dad divorced when I was eleven and I see him on weekends, but this was too surreal. "So look who finally decides to come home" she spoke coming out of her room from upstairs folding her arms. She had on a nightgown with slippers. "I'm sorry Mom Tyler haad a party and i went then had some drinks" "Please don't tell me you drove home" She queried in concern. "No Mom Kaylee called an Uber" "Okay Okay but come on Oakland drinking? You know better than that." I know Mom I'm sorry" I said in guilt. I actually felt bad about disappointing my mom."it's alright hon i was a teen once too you know. I'll make you some tea and get to bed your not in trouble." As her words came out of her mouth my eyes started to get puffy and bloodshot and tears poured out all at once ."I love you mommm" "I love you to hon" in that moment I forgot about Mark and in my drunken tiredness I was ready to go to bed after this long day.
