Wish We Could Turn Back Time m.c

Chapter 20

"Okay, where are we going tonight?" I asked for the third time. It was hard to keep up with all the names of Jasmine's friends.

"My friend Jason's house. He lives in the fancier part of town so his house is really cool. You'll love it. Won't she Rachel?" Jasmine asked from the driver's seat of her white Jeep. Rachel just shrugged. She hadn't really been talking much today. Maybe she was just still hammered from last night.

As far as Jasmine, she was only trying to convince me that I'll love this party because she still felt bad about going off with Dylan the night before. Her reaction when Rachel and I told her what happened the next morning was just priceless.

"I did what?" She repeated.

"We just told you," Rachel tried to suppress a little giggle. It seemed as if things like this happened with Jasmine numerous times.

"Ew. And when the party was over and y'all came to get me, I just walked out of that room like nothing had happened?" She looked disgusted with herself with her face contorted into an expression that said 'I just ate four dozen rotten eggs.'

"To be fair, you were drunk off your rocker. You didn't really know what you were doing," I contributed.

"Ugh, and I told myself that wasn't going to happen the next time I went to one of this guy's parties," she flopped back onto the couch in her parents living room where we had all been hanging out that morning. Rachel and I just giggled. We both knew Jasmine liked it, otherwise, she wouldn't go to Dylan's parties at all.

The rest of that morning the three of us just chilled in our pajamas and Jasmine and Rachel got over their hangovers. But besides when we were telling Jasmine what she did with Dylan the night before, Rachel hadn't really talked much at all. I couldn't help but wonder if something was wrong. Even if she was tired, she just didn't seem like herself. I didn't let myself worry about it too much though. It's not like the two of us were very close to begin with and besides, I was here to spend time with Jasmine.

"Here we are!" Jasmine announced, pulling into someone's circular driveway. I'd been lost in thought for most of the car ride, so I hadn't really paid attention to where we'd driven. Needless to say, I was taken aback when I stepped out of the jeep and saw the behemoth of a house before me.

The thing was huge! It had to be at least three stories, the yard was obviously landscaped by a professional, the windows, doors, and railings of the balcony were adorned with fancy designs carved into the wood, there were a couple sports cars parked closer to the house, and I could already see a swimming pool around the back. Jasmine wasn't kidding when she said Jason lived in a nice house. These people had money.

"Hey Jason!" Jasmine exclaimed excitedly when we met the guy who was at the door to greet the guests. He was really tall and built, dressed in a shirt with the sleeves cut off to show his huge muscles and some dark jeans. Unlike the host of the dorm party, Jasmine and him seemed to be good friends because he leaned down to hug her petite frame.

"Jaz! Hey, is this your friend that you told me about?" He glanced over at me. Jasmine talks about me? I couldn't help but feeling kind of awkward.

"Yeah, it's me," I said shyly. Usually I would have just stared down at the ground and said nothing unless spoken to, but this Jason guy seemed friendly enough. Hey, I already had one party under my belt! I could rule the world at this point! Okay, maybe not that far...

"Ooh, cool accent. Your dress looks nice too," he remarked referring to the tight red thing Jasmine had shoved me into. I felt myself blush. "Well, you all might as well come on in. There's not a lot of people here yet since you're a bit early, but I know Jasmine's going to want to go ahead and start on-"
