Heaven Above (A Tony Perry Fanfic)

Chapter Four

Looking in the mirror I sighed, It would do. If Tony was expecting some pink sparkly dress he was going to be sorely disappointed. The black skinny jeans, Converse and vintage Guns and Roses tank top were going to have to suffice. Tousling my straightened golden hair, I turned away from the mirror and sighed, a nervous laugh escaping my throat. Tucking my phone in my pocket I walked from the house, locking the door behind me.

Pulling my car up in front of Tony's house, I parked and got out. Although there were no people in the front yard it was clear that there was a party going on. Music pulsed from inside the house, and it got louder as I neared it. Opening the front door I could feel the beat pulsing in my chest. People filled the house and I was happy to see that I wasn't the only girl in skinny jeans and a tee-shirt. Suddenly I was knocked sideways,  a pair of arms wrapped around my waist.

"Tori! You came!" Tony said, pulling me into a hug.

"Hey Tony", I said slightly awkwardly, wrapping my arms around his chest in return, "Yeah, of course I came. A chance to hang out with a guy I met like two days ago? Wouldn't miss it for the world."

I felt him laugh against me, "How's it going?" He asked pulling away, a smile on his face.

"Pretty good, what about you?" I asked.

"I'm great now!" He said with a laugh, "Now, lets get to introductions."

"Introductions?" I asked, looking around apprehensively.

He wasn't going to introduce me to everyone at the party, was he?

"Yeah", grabbing my hand he began weaving through the crowd, pulling me with him.

Was he drunk? No, I didn’t smell any alcohol on him. He was cute when he smiled though, Katy was right.

Stopping at a makeshift bar he motioned to the shirtless, tattooed guy standing behind it, "This is Mike."

The guy, Mike, looked up at us, "Hey Tone. Who's the chick?"

"This is Tori", He said to Mike before looking down at me, "He plays drums in the band."

"Hey", I said to Mike.

"Hey", He replied, "Want a drink?"

"Sure."

He handed both Tony and I a red cup filled with something alcoholic.

"Thanks man", Tony said before leading me back into the crowd.

Pushing through to the backyard Tony stopped and looked around, giving me a chance to take a sip of the drink in my hand.

"Ugh, what is this?" I asked, with a small cough.

Tony turned around, with a small laugh he took a sip of his drink too and came up coughing, "Wow, that's terrible."

I laughed at his reaction, taking another sip of the drink, which although it tasted like crap was oddly satisfying. Suddenly an arm was thrown around my shoulders and I looked up to see a guy with black spikey hair. He had one arm wrapped around my shoulders and the other around Tony's.

"Tony, my man!" He called to Tony before looking down at me, "And who is this lovely senorita?"

"Jaime this is Tori", said Tony, smiling at me.

"Well, hello", said Jaime looking at me, he was easily four inches taller than me, "The name's Jaime."

He held his hand out and I shook it, introducing myself, "Tori."

Suddenly a shoe went flying through the air over our heads, followed by a scream, "Pantera!"

Jaime dissolved into a fit of laughter, looking across the backyard. A figure came running around the pool situated in the middle of the backyard, stopping in front of Tony, Jaime and me.
