LAVENDER HAZE - J. Hughes

Twenty Three

...the 1950s shit they want from me

This shit is no joke.

It's been 35 minutes and I'm fucked up and we're not even halfway done. Me and Jack opted to each take a Four Loko so we had finished those, along the way we also did a few shots and drank from each of the bags. Jack shot gunned with the boys but I was not drinking bud light, it tastes like piss. Either way we were fucked. All of us.

The other girls were hogging the bags, getting wine drunk and twisted tea drunk, while going around forcing the guys to drink from the bags as well. Not me because they hated me but I didn't want that shit anyway. "Here you two" JJ handed me and Jack the other 2 Four Lokos and walked over while legit chugging the vodka bottle.

Me and Jack looked at each other, knowing very well this was gonna be it. We couldn't drink after these because we would be borderline dead. "We got this." He encouraged though I knew he too was feeling the effects from the first one.

"I literally only know like 15% of the people in here if I drink this I'm gonna be so hammered" I argued. "I'll make Luke share and you make Quinn share?"

"Good idea, Luke, Quinn!" He called his brothers over who were also drunk at this point. Quinn had been doing shots and drank like 5 beers while Luke had been with the girls on the bags. Him, Mark, and Ethan were working it. "We're drinking these together" Jack pointed at the Four Lokos.

"Fuckkkk" Luke groaned. "Im already drunk"

"Same" Quinn added.

"So are we! Your helping and that's final, drunk up bitch" I shoved the can in Luke's hand after cracking it open and watched him take a big gulp and gag.

"This is horrible" He gagged. "It says green apple but it taste like stale dirt"

"Great" I sighed. I took and sip and cringed. "Fuck" I cursed. "Luke we can do this. Go get 2 cups" I ordered. This whole time Jack and Quinn were actually just casually sipping their Four Loko's. They didn't enjoy it but they were putting it away.

"We have the most drank guys. Let's end this shit!" One of the football guys yelled to our team. Great. Now we're being rushed.

Luke stumbled over with 2 red solo cups and I immediately poured half of the alcohol into mine and half into his before topping with some sprite for flavor. "Let's chug and get it over with" I told him.

"Oh I'm videoing this shit" Quinn pulled out his phone and got it ready. "Your brother is gonna love this" he said to me.

"He's gonna be jealous" I teased. "Alright Luke, let's go" We touched glasses and hesitated as we stared at the green liquid in the cups. This was horrifying.

"Let's go! Stop being pussies" Jack yelled. Oh fuck it. I took a deep breath in and started chugging the drink down. It did not go down smooth but I did beat Luke. I threw my empty cup in the sink and raised my arms up happily in victory. "There you go Lily!" Jack picked me up and spun me around as Luke finally finished his.

"I hate you" Luke gagged. "Four Lokos done!" He called over to the rest of the team as Quinn downed the rest of the other Loko.

"We got 7 beers left and under half the bottle of vodka. Bags and Lokos are done. Get in a circle we're passing this bottle." JJ ushered everyone over into a circle around the island in the kitchen.

"Are you ok?" Jack asked quietly. I nodded and smiled. "If you don't want to take your first couple I'll do them for you since you just chugged a Four Loko"

"Can you please, just like the first shot around" I asked.

"Of course, honey" he wrapped both of his arms around me from behind and stood there while we waited for the bottle to go to us. God he's so perfect. He's being so public in his affection right now I could die. He was yet again, holding me in front of all these people.
