ELIZABETH'S POV

I stood upstairs as I heard all the voices laughing and talking and drinking. I knew Jack was down there, and I knew Alex would come looking for me soon enough wondering why I hadn't went down to see Jack yet. But I couldn't bring myself to do it. Not after the phone call I had just received.

It kept ringing through my mind, Harley's quivering voice, the few tears. I didn't understand why he was crying, but it made me feel worse for not crying, but I honestly couldn't. I didn't want to process that my own father had died from an alcohol overdose.

I looked in the mirror at the face staring back. It was undeniable, I looked like my father. I hated it, but at the same time, I loved it. It was sort of like a memory. Of course I looked like my mom as well, but I had looked more like my dad.

It was hard to believe that I had lost both parents. Even harder to believe that it was happening now. Just when things were getting better. Why was my luck such shit?

I heard a knock on the door and turned away from my reflection. "Liz, it's me." I heard Alex's voice as he opened the door.

"Why haven't you come seen Jack yet?" he scrunched his eyebrows together as I glanced down at the ground.

"I'm coming. Just getting ready." 

I didn't give him the chance to reply as I plastered on a fake smile and walked past him quickly to where I knew Jack was.

My eyes traced all the faces until they landed on the tall boy who was smiling next to Zack in the crowded living room.

I could do this.

I walked over and tapped him on the shoulder lightly to get his attention. He turned around half way and his eyes went big, "Liz?!" his smile was huge but I still couldn't match it. Not even with a fake one.

He wrapped his arms around me and I hugged him back with as much fake enthusiasm as I could. "Fuck! I didn't know you were gonna be here!" he exclaimed as I pulled away.

"It was a surprise." I smiled lightly. It was fake though.

"I'm so happy your here! Holy tits!"

I faked a giggle and grabbed the beer Alex was now handing me. I took a long swig and enjoyed the burn going down my throat.

I missed that burn.

It was weird, the feeling I was getting as I drank more and more. It suddenly seemed like all my sad feelings were washing away. I was drunk, and I knew it, but I didn't stop drinking.

"Liz, you should get going to bed. We have a plane ride early tomorrow." Jack said as he came over to me. He was clearly more sober than me.

"I don't want too. I don't want to go back there. Let's stay here, and drink till we black out!" I slurred as I tripped over my own feet and fell into Jack. 

He easily held me up with a chuckle and coaxed me upstairs. "Go to sleep. Lex won't mind." he layed me down on Alex's bed and I smiled.

"Go find Alex." I mumbled.

"Why?"

"Just go get him." I pouted and Jack nodded his head with a heavy sigh. 

"He'll be up shortly."

ALEX'S POV

I was drunk off my ass as I danced on top of the table. "Where's the birthday boy?!" I yelled.

Jack walked downstairs yelling 'here'and we all cheered.

"JACKIE BOY." I threw myself on top of him and he just chuckled.

"Liz wants you. She's up laying in your room." he smiled lightly.

"Then I shall got to my fair maiden!" I pushed off Jack and stumbled upstairs.

I wonder why Liz wanted me? Was something wrong? Did we run out of stuff to drink? What could she possibly want me upstairs for?

I walked into my room and saw her laying there in my jersey smirking at me. Holy hell did she look hot.

"What are you doing?" I smirked. Hormones raising at every word.

"Come here." she waved me over and I listened, completely intranced with this girls ways.

She didn't waste time in standing up and connecting our lips, which was something I wouldn't refuse.

Her hands pulled on my hair lightly as she wrapped her arms around my neck and I quickly linked my arms around her waist.

She pulled away, leaving me breathless, and lightly pushed me on the bed. Was this really happening or was this a dream?

She climbed on me and started kissing my neck, "Lex, I want you." she whispered huskily.

My hormones were raging and I could tell this was wrong. But I'm a guy, and there's a smoking hot chick on top of me. Would you say no?

"You can have me."
