Add mimi texting her late

"HEYYYY!!!" I walked into Mimi's house super excited.
"HIII!!" Mimi ran over to hug me.
I put the bags of decorations on the counter.

We started decorating and getting tables with drinks and everything ready. We had bowls of little snacks and seating available. Soon enough people started showing up!

"SUP BIRTHDAY GIRL!" Lucas yelled gesturing a high five.
"Hey!! Thanks for coming!" Mimi gave him a hug. Ryley and Reagan walked in shortly after, then Nick and his brothers, then Finn and Serena and pretty much our whole group. Wait.
"Thought you didn't invite them?" I pointed over to Julie and Rhyme subtly.
"Yeah no I didn't."
"Thenn who the hell told them?"
"Eh who cares they can stay I guess. I don't want to cause a scene"
"It's your birthday party, you're meant to"
"Nah I'm up" We started laughing when she said that.

Surprisingly everyone seemed to still be having fun. It's been like 2 hours but ay that means we threw a good party!

"Woah you made it?!" I gave him a hug.
"I know right! I was personally invited by Bellamy Reid herself"
"WOAH OKAY! Making some progress I guess"
"Don't even" Mimi said walking past Collin and I.
"Short lived, greatly appreciated" He shrugged.
I laughed.

"What's over there? There's mad people" He pointed to the living room.
"Some dumb game of spin the bottle I'm pretty sure"
"You don't care for it?"
"That's a white people thing and I'm not a cheater. I can't speak for anyone else though" I said looking him up and down.
"LET IT DIE." He said and we laughed.

"Nai Nai!" Some girls in our grade called me over to the kitchen. They needed help finding water. That's insane to say to be honest.

I was standing by the kitchen when Mimi ran over holding someone's arm. Oh Thomas showed up! DUDE?!

"Thomas?!" I yelled confused but also angry. His aroma was one of just straight alcohol.
"What now? God everyone keeps fucking yelling at me." He reached for another drink.
"How much did you have oh my god?" Mimi asked.
"None of your business??"
"I think you've had enough." I grabbed the bottle and put it down on the table.
"No don't act like a mom now Niola. Always acting like you care when you don't." We sat down together but Jack had pulled Mimi away so it was just Thomas and I left. He absolutely reeked of just alcohol. I wanted to ask what happened but I think I already know the answer to that. Besides, he's drunk, I don't want to get punched in the face or something. A bloody nose would be embarrassing.
"Hey, how about we go home? The party's dying down anyways!"
"I just got hereee"
"I know you're a little late stalker"
"Don't call me that."
"Of course not Tommy" I helped him up and out the door. I went to walk him home which wasn't far.

"Where are we going?"
"Your house?"
"No." He yelled. It made me flinch. He seems like the anger type when he's drunk.
"Next time don't yell at me."
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to I just don't want to be home please don't take me back"
"Alright it's good but where else are you going to go?"
"I don't know I just figure it out?"
"Okay no. We're going to mine."

I grabbed his hand, and we walked back to my house and up to my room. He laid on my bed. Great. I got him water and I'm not sure if he's a vomiter, but I left a trash can with him as well.

"Can I tell you something?" He asked but mumbled. He seemed tired. I sat down next to him.
"Mhm?"
"I like you, Niola. A lot." As soon as he said that he laid his head on me and fell asleep?
"What?"
There was no response. Eh let's be for real he's drunk out of his mind, he doesn't even know what he's saying. Wish you were sober.
