sweet nothings. ||

"HEY YOU TWO, WAKE UP." steve said, seeing max and joey asleep on the couch. joeys head had been on maxs shoulder and maxs arms were around the brunette girl, steve smiled at the sight, "wake up, seriously we're gonna be late you guys."

joey woke up, and felt maxs arms around her, looking around confused until she finally saw the red haired girls face next to her, "max, max wake up."

"huh?" the red head mumbled, stretching out a little

"we have to get ready for school, steve's driving us." joey told her as she got off of thr couch

"ohh, alright." max nodded, putting her arm out for joey to help her up, and so she did

"you can borrow something from my room to wear today." joey told her as they walked up to her room
"thanks!"

GWENS EYES BLINKED OPEN SLOWLY, she felt like shit. she woke up still in her halloween costume which still reeked in the alcohol that steve spilled on her the night prior, and her head was pounding. she forced herself out of bed and looked in her little mirror, her hair was a mess, and she still had her makeup from last night on and she looked like a killer clown.

"jesus christ." she mumbled to herself, jumping when her bedroom door flew open, "AHH!"

"jesus gwen you look like a mess." jonathan laughed at her, "now hurry up and get ready before i leave without you."

she pushed him out of the room and shut the door hard, earning a comment from her mom, "gwendolyn don't slam doors!"

"sorry mom!" she yelled back, her voice hoarse and mostly gone

she finally got out of her costume, and changed into something else. she also tied her hair up in a pomy tail to hide the fact that it hadn't been washed. she would've taken a shower but she woke up too late for that, "mom, can you make me a coffee i'll be out in one second!"
"yeah of course sweetie!"

she quickly took off and redid her makeup, trying to take away from her obvious hangover, "alright.. what else do i have to do.." she whispered ro herself, "actually i think i'm done."

she grabbed her costume and threw it in the laundry basket in her room near the door, and walked out

"wow gwen, you wouldn't even know that last night you were-" jonathan began, getting cut off at the last second by gwen

"i had so much fun trick or treating with wills and his friends like night!" she accidentally yelled fairly loud

"what was gwen last night jonathan?" joyce asked, a hand on her hip

"very, very, veryyyy drunk." he told her, gwen glaring at him

"do you have a death wish jonathan? cause i'm going to kill you." she said angrily

"gwen, you can't be irresponsible like this anymore. you need to stop going to parties." joyce told her, handing her the coffee

"thanks," she said taking the coffee, "also i don't go a lot, i'm just not very good at noticing when i'm drinking too much. but i've never driven drunk, so i'm pretty safe!"
