Broken Souls and Hearts

New guy

I drive to Dan's house, the motor of my truck humming as I stopped at a red light seeing the cars leaving dans driveway

When the light went green again I turned some music on and made my way to his house

As I pulled into his driveway I hear gagging and curiously hop out, seeing a girl bent over and struggling to hold her hair back as she puked the alcohol she had

Sympathetically I walked over and held her hair for her and held my breath to not smell the stench of sweat and alcohol coming from her

Seeing her visibly relax from not having to hold her hair I did stay put to help her even though she will probably get weirded out

When she randomly turned and looked at me we both paused, our eyes locked and surprise crossing both our faces...

'Fuck...' I thought looking at her face entirely as I take in her features

Her glasses were what surprised me most as I looked her over, trying to commit her to memory

"...Thanks" she mumbled and my jaw clenched looking down at her

Im not dumb, I know she expected one of her friends to be holding her hair instead of some random guy as her voice made me tense and shift, watching her go back inside quickly and trying to not be creepy as I sighed needing to figure out who she was in a less creepy way

As I went inside, Lilith came out of the shower "Damon? Of course Dan invited you over" she scoffed making me chuckle

"lovely to see you too Lilith"

My voice is hoarse from that mystery girl still as I sat down waiting for Dan

"Listen I have a friend over so keep it down, she's not very fond of random guys keeping her awake" Lilith said rolling her eyes and flicking me as she went upstairs and Dan came out

"you missed the party dude!" He huffed, his eyebrows furrowing as he looked at how banged up I was

"I had some minor issues at home but I came for the sleepover and we can still get drunk" I said showing the whiskey in my bag

"Lilith has Alex over so wanna sleep out here?" Dan said grinning now he knew I brought some whiskey as an apology for my late arrival
