Party Foul

NICK

Crazy party tonight!!
Annie's places
Starts 10:00! Everyone's invited!
The text read. Annie's, why doesn't that surprise me?  Don't let the innocent name fool you she is one of the biggest sluts in the school. Her parents are totally loaded. Which means there will defiantly be booze! And pretty much everyone loves her so I guess everyone will be there . . . One problem though so will Annie. We were best friends once. That is until , . . . Well let's just say it wasn't good.  I'll save that for another time. MISS. PERIN! uuuh yeah? Chuckles sparked across the classroom. Mrs. White Ha talk about white! She's fricken albino! All the kids except for the goodie goodies hate her. And with good reason! She's a real hard ass, mean, and just a regular Ol ass! MISS PERIN??!! oh uh yeah? That's my name by the way Blake Perin. Yes I am a girl. Not most girly name in history, but hey I like. I'm not the most girly girl in history either. Oh uh yes? , Mrs. White? I'll ask you again I guess! She said. What happens when Nitrogen, oxygen, and fire mix. Oh um that is, they uh, . . . BOOM! I mean they explode ... Miss uh miss white. Everyone was trying to contain there laughter. Today was an off day for me. Usually I'm the quiet kid. But today for some reason I keep on screwing up. Miss. White sighed. Yes miss Perin boom. Indeed boom. The rest of the class I just sat there in thought about tonight's party.  The class went on, Mrs. White didn't bother me anymore. Soon enough the bell rang. Finally school was out, for the weekend at least.

I was out of there so fast she didn't even have a chance to give me "the talk" again. She does that a lot. You know the whole pretending to care crap. Ug so annoying! My parents died 1 year ago. She still thinks I'm in grief over it. Truth be told I hated my parents. Why would care that there gone?! They were the only family I had. I mean that is only If you consider a drunk abusive couple of parents who fought all the time family. But hey other than that I'm pretty normal. I'm not goth I'm not emo. I'm just me. I dress normal, I don't cut myself, I don't do any thing devilish either. Just me. Just me. So since I have no other family, I stay with best friend Nick. Now I know what your thinking! Nick?!? As in a guy? And you live with him?  Well yeah I mean it's not like that were just friends, we have been since 1st grade. And his parents love me! When ever my parents would get to bad I would just over to his house and we would watch a movie or something. His mom would make us her cookies and popcorn. Man those cookies are good! Anyway, the only down side to his life is  when he was 10 his parents business got HUGE! That may seem good, but it made his parents a little absent. Like all the time absent. They literally come home once every 2 months. But we have each other and a fricken HUGE house! Like I said his parents, loaded! On Fridays we meet up at The Malt it's the place we've gone to since like forever. It's this 50s themed stop. They serve malt shakes, milkshakes , hotdogs all the good stuff. And it's dirt cheap, but you know not that that's a problem anyway. You know loaded!
~
I got there first today we usually meet at around 2:45  he Always gets a chocolate shake and a hamburger. I get a vanilla malt and a hot dog. I wait a few minutes. It was around 2:55 now so I went ahead and order our usual. It got to our table like 5 minutes later. It was like 3:05 now his milk shake was melting and his Hamburger was Getting cold. He's still not here! He's never this late. I hope he's ok. As soon I said that the worst possible thoughts started to race through my head. I stress ate my hot dog and malt. Waiting and waiting. I ordered another hotdog and malt it was 3:10 now . UGGG WHERE IS HE!? I pulled out my phone and called him after about 10 or 15 nerve racking rings, hello? I let out a sigh of relief. NICK?! Where the hell are yo- NOPE just kidding! You got my voice mail! Came his voice from the phone, Uh wha-? Damn it nick! I didn't bother leaving a message my second helping of food came around 3:15 I was half way through my hot dog and shake when I heard the bell on the door ring. My heart leaped! I turned around a fast as I could. There stood a tall 6' 3" brown haired well dresses and very toned . . . NICK! I ran from my seat over to him. I held his face in my hands. Making his face squish. I moved it side to side checking for bruises for cuts anything.  Then I turned his face towards mine. Are you ok?! I practically whispered holding my breath. A raspy deep voice uttered out a same chuckle and a yes. I pulled him in as tight as I could. I could hear his heart beat in his chest like a war drum. Du dum dum du dum dum du dum dum. Then I realized, HE DITCHED ME! For no reason I pulled away and slapped his arm. Ow that hurt! He said. Well you! You, you scared me! I felt a tear roll down my cheek. No I never cry! I didn't even at my parents funeral. UGGG! Nick gave me a very cocky egotistical smile and bent down to my short 5' 4" height and said are you crying? As he reached up his hand to wipe away my tears. NO I yelled. Then what's this he asked as he wiped away my tears. Stress sweat! I sighed. He just laughed. Then, did he just, did he just grunt in pain?! He never shows pain! I saw his hand move down to his stomach. Then I saw . . . RED?!  No no no no! Nick?! What is that ? It's nothing he said. That's not nothing!!!!
~
Really it's nothing ! He protested. I scoffed YEAH RIGHT!  I went to the counter and rang the bell. What are you doing he yelled to me. I ignored him. I took my wallet and got the money for my meal and his and gave it to the lady behind the counter. Thank you! I said I ran over grabbed my bag and pushed him out the door I put him in the car. He continued to protest me. I ignored him. Again. I got In the drivers seat. I pushed my long brown hair back out of my face. I took off his jacket. wha- what are doing?! he asked. Stay still! I commanded. I lifted his shirt soaked in blood. I dropped it as soon as I saw what was under it. I sat strait in my chair holding my hair out of my face. Still in shock. He had been stabbed in the abdomen . I fumbled with keys putting them in the ignition and started  the car. Look Blake I-  NOT A WORD! I cut him off not yet at least. I'm still processing, this I said. Breathing harder than I think I ever have I drove all the way home. I pulled in. I took out the keys grabbed his and my bags and slung them over my shoulder. I ran over to his side of the car and opened the door. I took his arm and helped him out of the car. Once we get inside you have some serious explaining to do got it! I said. Oh I'm sure he said. I put him on his bed and ordered him to take off his shirt while I looked franticly for the first aid kit.  I got back in the room his bloodied shirt was on the floor. I took the first aid kit and sat on the bed.
                                              ~
Looking at the wound. I Selected the correct size bandage and proceeded to place the bandage on wound. He  push it away. I'm fine!  he protested. FINE?! You are not fine! What the hell happened anyway?! I started again with the bandage telling him if he tried to stop me again I would give him something to need a bandage for. He stopped protesting after that. Well I was walking to The Malt since you had the car today he teased me. I glared at him. He continued on, and then Alex, mike, and jake, jumped me. Ugg I hate them! They've been Nick's bully's since 3rd grade. But this time they took it to far. I just looked at Nick he was obviously in pain. But still I asked, are you ok? He looked at me and smiled I am now. I smiled and hugged him. Then I whispered in his ear, cheeseball! Than I stood up quick push his shoulder and he fell back on the bed I laughed taking the first aid and walking out of the room I said i'll be back! I walked back to room not 5 minutes later. When I returned into the room it was 4:30 and Nick was fast asleep. I leaned against the door frame and just smiled at my best idiot friend sleeping peacefully. I set an alarm on my phone for 6:30pm climbed on the bed beside him and fell asleep. Peacefully unaware of any troubles I have or ever had or ever will have. I even forgot about the party. All I knew was that I was happy. Happy that my best friend was ok.
                                                  ~
I woke up to the sound of the alarm mixed with the sound of water running. I inhaled a deep breath looking around. Morning! Nick said. My eyes still focusing I started to adjust to the light to see Nick standing there brushing his teeth in a . . . Towel? AW dude! Put some pants on! I laughed.   What?! He chuckled I mean you clearly want to get with me! WHAT?! I said laughing harder now. I mean come on I wake up to you cuddling me in MY bed NOT yours. He stated. Hey come on I just didn't feel right leaving you alone! I said I mean if it was that easy for  bully's to beat you up, I just didn't want the tooth fairy coming in your room and having at you without me here to guard you! I said laughing as I threw a pair of pants at him. He caught the pants just barely and scoffed at me. Oh yeah! I covered my eyes with a pillow so he could put his pants on. Well if I remember right it was you who was so scared of the tooth fairy in 3rd grade you wet you pants!!! Oh come on that was 3rd grade! I teased back. The water cut off. Are you done yet? I asked???!! I didn't hear anything. Nick? I called. NO NO don't you dare I sat up quick and then I felt his hands around my waist. As he Hollered TICKLE  MONSTER!!!!! NICK!  NO NO NO! I can't breathe agh I laughed and laughed! Say it he said. SAY IT!!! ok ok I give, uncle uncle!!! Haha I win he said.  yeah yeah I said
                                               ~
My phone toned. who's that? he asked. Oh my gosh I totally for got!!!! I jumped up and looked at a very confused Nick. PARTY! I said. Party? What party?!  he asked.  Me and nick lived for partying. The one at Annie's tonight. Annie's? ugh I can't stand her! He said. Yeah I know. I responded. Annie has a HUGE crush on Nick. I think it's funny. A lot of girls like him. I mean he's rich captain of the football team and physically perfect. But he turns everyone of them down. He says he waiting for someone important. Who ever that is. Yeah there's a party at 10:00 there's no end time either I said. NICE! he said.  We going ?  Uh DUH I said. I'm going to go get ready. Wear something hot I said there is going to be a bunch of hot people there. I said so what do you think for me? Hot and simple or sexy slutty? Hot and simple he said then he gave me this weird feeling like this thing I've never felt before like . . . Uh I don't know. I'm just going to ignore it for now.  Ok well it's 8:00 now so hurry up. I said and started to walk out in a daze. I guess he noticed so he ask me, hey you ok? Hu? Uh yeah uh I'm no I'm I'm good. I m gonna go. Ok he said. What was that? Whats wrong with me? Ugh I'm probably getting a cold or something whatever nothing a lil booze can't fix. And 10 to 1 there WILL be booze At that party. So let's go! It was 9:45 now and I was putting on my earring looking at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a small black mid thigh flowing dress with converse. I don't do heals unless I have to. My hear was down and curled and my makeup was perfect and for some reason in that moment I thought of Nick.
                                                 ~
I don't know why or what's happening but I'm going to ignore it . again. I was going down the stairs rounding the corner and I was about to go into Nick's room when I saw him fiddling with the buttons on his shirt. He usually just wears a pullover he's not big on buttons. Want some help I asked standing in the doorway. He turned toward me and I got chills. GOD this has got to stop ugh! Oh my gosh yes please! he said. I shook out of my daze land and walked over to help him. The only light that was on was the dim warm lamp. The smell of his Cologne smelled different than it ever had before. I started from the top of his shirt slowly buttoning them one by one. Until I reached his bandage where he had been hurt. I stopped and looked at it I touched his abdomen slightly, softly, I looked at him and he looked different. Suddenly he was something more than just my best friend. I couldn't really make it out but something changed and I think he felt it too. The light flickered and it broke my concentrated gaze on his eyes and I finished buttoning his shirt. I tugged the bottom of it and brushed off his shoulder with my hand. I inhaled deep and exhaled heavily. The. Sighed.  all done! I said. thanks he said in a such deeply sweet way I drove me mad. Sure thing lets go!
                                      ~
The ride to the party was painstakingly quite and slow. My heart was beating so fast I thought he would hear it. He looked pretty nervous too. This was most likely nothing I was probably just going through all the emotions of him getting hurt, yah ok that what it is. I tried to reassure myself. I mean He could have DIED! I couldn't live without my best friend! Yeah that's all this is, it'll pass  I mean come on. Uh hem we're here! He said as if he was carefully  defusing a nuclear bomb. Um ok sure I said in sort of a trance.  I got out of the car and went in. I could feel his stare burning a hole in my back. What have I dug my self into?! He probably thinks I have feelings for him! Ugg! My thoughts were abruptly ended by the eerie, shrill of of,  OH MAI GAWD, Blake? Great! Annie is here. I mean of course she is its her house. I drew in a deep breath. Hey. Annie, uh how are you? I'm great, or at least I was  till you got here, JK JK lol. So is that gorgeous best friend of your here? Yeah he's parking. I chuckled a little bit. I love it when she flirts with him, it drives him nuts. But all the sudden I don't like the sound of that so much anymore . . . Or any girl for that matter. Whatever, just me being overprotective because of his accident.  Sure enough as soon as I walked in the 3B's right there in my face. Booze, boobs, and blunts. Ug! You think the stoner pit would be in the basement. Geese. I mean if if the cops walk in your the first one to be arrested. And really the first thing I want to smell is definitely not weed. Really though!
~
The music isn't bad though. I didn't see Annie anymore, thank God. But that probably meant she was looking for Nick. Ugg whatever, I'm just gonna go get some of the most definitely spiked punch! Woo. I was pouring my drink when Nick came up behind me grabbed my shoulders and yelled BOO! I jumped more than I should have. Nick?! What the, you made me spill my spiked punch . He laughed . Sooooo? What happened with Annie I said in a teasing voice. Oh my gosh. Uh she was alike (imitating Annie) oh hi Nick I'm like sooo glad your here do you wanna like go do something?! A chuckled she basically threw here self at you oh my gosh. Yeah I know. he said there playing a good song want to go dance he asked me. Umm let me check . . . YESS! I chugged down the last few sips of my punch. The next thing I knew Nick was grabbing my arm. He dragged my onto the dance floor (A.K.A the living room) like a rag doll. Then we were dancing like crazy people! Eventually I said, Hey I need to go get more punch I'll be right back! Ok?! Sure I'm gonna keep dancing! He said. Soon I was back over by the punch table when I took the first sip I almost spit it out. Oh WOW if it was spiked before it was something small, but now it tastes like someone put straight up vodka in there. Oh my gosh wow. This is gonna take me a second or two to get used to. I carefully took another sip. Ooo it's getting better that's for sure. I was starting to feel drunk not super drunk just drunk. There was a shots worth of punch left so I did it like a shot. Yup now I was drunk. I went to find Nick. And there he is right were I left him. Hey what took you so long?! (I forgot to mention I had to more cups of punch so you could tell I was drunk). Heeeyyyyyy buddy! I think i think you you might have to drive tonight! HICK! or at least one of you. I said pointing my finger as it moved back and forth. Blake?! How much did you drink well when I went over there I was really thirsty . I - I took a sip and WOOOO it had vodka in it! I've been really stressed though HICK lately. Sooo I drank a few, trying to keep my balance. What? What are you talking about? Well you you know. With you getting poked in the belly with a knife. Almost dying. And my how I've been f- OOPS! I'm not supposed to tell you that! And I covered my mouth laughing a little.
~
What? What are you talking about? How you've been what? I mean we are best friends you can tell me anyth- I pressed my finger against his lips and said SHHHH it's a secret. Hehehe! Then we were interrupted by Annie. So I snuck away to go get more punch. I could still see them they were talking and talking. I was almost finished with my punch when, IM GONNA KILL HER! I saw her kiss Nick! What the hell Annie! I could 3 different types of drunk, happy silly, mean and abusive ( you can guess who I got that from), and sad and sulky. Right know I was SO passed mean and abusive, I was a PISSED OFF! as in I'll killed you PISSED OFF! I pushed through everyone like a bull in a china shop! I pulled Annie off and punched her in the face. I have a pretty good right hook. She fell the floor. Nick didn't hold me back for some reason. I stood over her. I swear if you ever touch him again I WILL kill you! News flash honey he doesn't like you! He never has. Stop acting like he does! Or God so help me! I will rip off your lips so you can't ever kiss anyone again! You lucky I'm not doing that now! I got off her. Finished my punch like shot, Cringed and grabbed nicks hand and pulled him with me we were almost to the door when the room started to spin. I could hear him laughing at the whole thing that just happened but then I stopped walking. Every thing was getting black and I oh no I'm going down.
~
Nick took me home. I don't remember much at all. in fact tomorrow I wouldn't remember anything. What I do remember on the ride home is Nick picking me up putting in the car. While there was huge crowd of people. I think I also heard people calling the police. But we weren't there when it all went down. I remember parts of the car ride. I was laying down in the back watching the street lights in and out of consciousness. Oh my head. Oh it's bad and I'm out again. The best thing I knew Nick was taking me out of the car. We were going in the house. Then he layed me on my bed. He started to take my shirt off. Very sleepily In whisper I asked, what, what are you doing. Putting you in your pajamas. He said softly. I pushed his hand away. No I said softly. I'm fine. Your not fine. He said. I stopped resisting pretty soon I had my pajamas on. He squeezed my hand and was about to leave when I held his hand as tightly as I could. Can you- can you stay please. I felt him sit on the bed. I have to, I have to tell you something. What is it he said so sweetly I could have hugged him to no end. I - I, the Secret. I can't tell you. What is it he asked carefully. I- I- I think I'm in love with you. Then I drifted off to sleep. Not knowing what I had just done, or even worse, I wouldn't remember any of it tomorrow.
