Cigarette Smoke

Chapter Seventeen

CC's POV

I woke up to the smell of bacon cooking. The aroma lingered as I stumbled into a bright light that pierced my eyes. I had no idea the living room could be this bright. I wandered into the kitchen and saw Alex standing in front of the stove. "You're an angel." I plopped myself on top of the counter next to her, kissing the side of her head.

"Where's Andy?" I asked. "He's sleeping still." She rolled her eyes and fiddled with the eggs that were sizzling in another pan. "No I'm not." Andy waddled into the kitchen and wrapped his arms around Alex's waist.

"Finally, sleeping beauty is up." Alex replied, Andy squeezed her sides and placed a kiss on the back of her neck. "Ew, get a room." I made a fake vomiting noise to emphasize my statement. Andy looked at me and winked, telling me silently that Alex and him did indeed get a room. I bit the inside of my cheek in jealousy.

"So Andy, are you ready for the party tonight?" I changed the subject quickly. "What party? There's a party?" Alex asked, distributing the eggs, bacon and toast evenly among the six plates.

"Oh... There's a little party tonight to kick off warped tour next month." Andy answered for me, grabbing the bottle of orange juice from the fridge. "Oh, I forgot about warped! Sounds fun!" Alex handed me a plate.

"You should come, most of the bands and artists will be there." I informed her, but Andy didn't look too happy about it. "I don't know about that... Everyone is gonna be drinking and I don't want anything bad to happen."

Alex rolled her eyes. "Andy, I can take care of myself, I've only been doing it for like, my whole life." She rolled her eyes. "Okay, fine. But I'm not letting you out of my sight." Andy waved a finger at her.

"Awe fuck, can you keep it down for Gods sake?" Ashley stumbled out of his room, squinting his eyes and holding his head. "Ashy..." A half naked Juliet danced out of his room. Alex and I stood still, our jaws dropped, while Andy stood there with no expression at all.

"What do you want?" Ash sat on the couch, totally ignoring Juliet who was only wearing a pair of underwear and a Mötley Crüe T-shirt that was too big to be hers. She skipped over and sat on his lap. "I'm hungry." Juliet complained, playing with her fake highlights.

Ashley pulled a $20 bill out of his boxers and handed it to her. "Go get something to eat." He pushed her off of his lap, scooting away. "You're not coming with me?" She pouted. "Just leave." He got up and walked upstairs to the bathroom.

Juliet sat on the couch and whimpered, and then looked at the three of us standing awkwardly in the kitchen. "What are you looking at?" She flipped her hair and stomped back into Ashely's room.

I turned to look at Andy who was shaking his head and smiling, but not in a good way. Juliet walked out again with her slutty dress on and her heels in her hand. She looked at Andy and smirked, blowing a kiss toward him before she shut the door behind her.

As she walked out, Jake and Jinxx walked in. "Is she gone?" Ashley peeked his head in the kitchen. "Coast is clear." I rolled my eyes and swung my legs awkwardly. "Well... Breakfast is ready. Grab a plate." Alex gestured to the three remaining platters.

"Ash, I put some Advil on the tabel for you." Alex pointed to the wooden surface. "I love you so much." Ash kissed her cheek and picked up a plate. "Watch it." Andy narrowed his eyes. "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Ash snickered, gulping down two pills.

"I'm serious, knock it the fuck off." Andy towered over Ash. "Calm down dude, I was just trying to be polite." Ash threw his hands up in surrender. "By sleeping with my ex girlfriend in front of me? Then kissing my current girlfriend?" Andy raised his voice. "Andy, chill." I put my hand on his shoulder. "Don't fucking touch me." He shrugged it off and stomped out of the room.
