YOUNG VOLCANOES

nineteen

My eyelids open in a sudden instant and I notice how it's still dark outside. The memories begin to flood back: Nate, College party, Monica and then my memories just consume into a big blackout of pleasure.

Noticing that I am curled up with someone, I just smile at the idea of me and Nate falling asleep together. I was ready to slowly wake him up and ask him what time it was. We probably had to get going home. I moved the piece of blanket that was blocking my view from seeing is face. As I do so, I uncover Alex.

I scream as his eyes shot open, both of us pushing eachother away at the same time and falling over the opposite edges of bed and to the floor.

I get up, instantly noticing my underwear is gone but am currently still wearing my dress. A wave of panic hits me. "WE DIDN'T?" I ask in disbelief praying for him to say of course not. He gets up from the floor and looks at me. "Please god..." he prays as he closes his eyes and reaches for his back pocket as if he would find a clue of whatever happened i it.

Effectively he pulls out my underwear from his pocket. "Oh God" he exclaims.

I begin to pace around the room looking for my phone. I so wanted to leave the awkward situation we stood in but I needed my phone first.

"My question is?...Who attacked the other one first and who was the one stupid enough to roll with it?" He asks furrowing his eyebrows. The light entered through the bedroom, illuminating just half of his face which made his expression hard to read for a second.

"And I warned you. I told you we could not end up like this!" he says in disgust and I feel a tad offended but he's right.

I walk up to him and snap my underwear out of his hands worried by a bigger issue.

"Alex we couldn't have done this because that means I'm not a-" I begin.

"Virgin?" He finishes with a smile and I hit him on the shoulder with my pantie. "I know how to settle this" he announces finally aware of my discomfort.

And I wait for his brilliant idea.
"Do you feel sore?" He asks me. "What like...down there?" I ask. He nodds.

I then begin to walk around to see if I feel anything. I give longer steps and shorter while spreading my legs a little so see if I feel anything.

"God, walk normally not like a penguin" he judges. I turn to him. "It doesn't feel sore" I answer. "Then we didn't do it because if you'd been a virgin, I would have left quite an impression on you" he says cockily.

"Thank God I got the other brother" I say relieved after hearing his comment. And then my eyes widen up. Whatever we'd done, it meant that I was a cheater.
"HOLY SHIT, I'M THE WORST" I exclaim and finally find my phone resting on the night stand.

It was 7:20.

20 minutes until my father burst into my room to wake me up for school. And I wasn't in my room.
I checked my texts and clicked on my last received text.

Hey, I'm heading home soon.
-Samantha

She'd sent this around 5am.

"I need to get home now" I state. Alex gets his keys out of his leather jacket which rested on a chair. As I look at the jacket a memory floods back in. But Alex's already out the door of the room.

"I think I'm remembering!" I say as we both run down the stairs of the frat house. We dodge the passed out cold hungover bodies on the floor. I wondered where the owner of the room we'd slept in had stayed the night.

"Please do share" he tells me as we both plunge out of the house. We then get in his car. I have no idea where Nate is but I need to get home first. And I need to fix this mess.
