Love from within

001

After school on the walk home my friend calls me and I pick up. Hello! What do you need, I say. I was wondering if you would like to come to a club tonight with me? He asks. By the way his name is Derek he has like both boys and girls going for him "he is bi". Umm ... yeah sure, which bar is it? I replied. It's that gay one...I'm not sure what it's called, he says back. Oh ok I will come but NO drinking because you have to be the sober one to take me home because I can't even drive and my house is too far away to walk, I say. Ok fine, he says back. When will you be picking me up? I ask.

Umm.. around 5:30, he answers. Ok I will be waiting, I say. I then hang up and reach the front door to my house right when I open the door. My little sister Mara runs and jumps on me to give me a hug. I catch her and squeeze her into a hug. Yay brovey is home!, she then yells making my older brother Daniel yell shut up from in the living room.

My mom then yells back at him to be nice from in the kitchen and he just rolls his eyes and goes back to watching whatever he was watching on the TV. Then, I set Mara down on the floor and walk into the kitchen to grab a capri sun and grab another one to give to Mara. I then hear my older brother yell from the other room to grab him one too and I do as he said and grab one and toss it to him.

While trying to put my straw in it pokes through the back and I pout and take it out again trying to put it in the right way that just leads to me poking another hole in it. Then I see that my little sister has been in front of me laughing and holding out a hand to help. For some reason I feel embarrassed because I need my 4 year old sister to help me put a straw in the capri sun. Then I hand it to her and look at my mom and she is grinning then I look over my shoulder and see Daniel just cracking up from in the living room. How is this so funny!?, I ask out loud.

My mom just stands there and says nothing while on the other hand my brother yells "because you're a clumsy ass person" then he bursts out laughing again. My mom just rolls her eyes at him and walks away into the living room and sits down on the couch. I then realize I never grabbed my capri sun back and then I look back at Mara and she is sticking it out in front of her smiling and waiting for me to grab it.

I grab it and then walk off to my room. When I open the door I throw my bag onto the floor next to my bed. Then I run and jump face forward onto my bed slowly dozing off.

When I wake up I remember that Derek was supposed to come pick me up and I quickly Grab my phone out of my bag to see what time it is. It reads '5:13'. I then rush to my closet to find something to wear. I grab skinny ripped jeans, a black gothic shirt, and a green sweatshirt that says 'leave me alone'. I quickly take off the clothes I'm wearing and slip on what I picked out, then I rush to the bathroom to quickly fix my bed head and run straight to the door.

And then I slip my shoes on and run back back to my room to grab my phone. When I come walking back down I trip and fall face forward on the ground and my mom and sister come walking over to me while my brother is still in the living room still bursting out in laughter then he yells "see clumsy!".

Once I'm up on my feet the doorbell rings and I open it. Hi! I say to Derek. My mom then asks where we are going and he answers and says "sleepover!" with a wink and we leave. I then realize my mom didn't even notice that I didn't even have a bag with me. I smirk and then get in the car.

Ollie! I hear Derek yell. Oops I fell asleep. I look at him and give an apologetic smile. He nods and we both get out of the car and walk inside. It's more crowded than I hoped. And then I look over to see that Derek is already hitting the dance floor. I find myself already walking over to the bar and asking for a drink I look over at who's sitting by me and start blushing at how cute the guy is.

I give him a big smile and grab my drink and leave to sit somewhere closer to the dance floor so I could watch Derek. When my drink is gone I go back up and ask for a tab. Then I started drinking more. I look over my shoulder and notice that cute guy staring at me with a grin on his face. Then everything gets a little blurry and I start giggling because I'm drunk.

Oops I'm only 17 my bad but who cares I get to be free tonight. Then the cute guy starts laughing. Did I just say that out loud?, I ask the cute guy. He nods and laughs more. I really didn't mean to. And then Derek walks over to me and he sure as hell is drunk. I told you not to get drunk you're supposed to be the sober one to take us home, I complain. He just shrugs and walks back to the dance floor to dance even more.

I roll my eyes and look back at the cute guy and notice he is grinning. What? I ask as politely as possible. He grins more and says "I could take you to my place to stay tonight ". I nod in agreement and followed him out to his car.  I get in and we drive to his house and I find myself dozing off again.
