Jake's Story

*Back in black I hit the sack I've been too long I'm glad to be back Yes I'm, let loose From the noose That's kept me hanging about I keep looking at the sky 'Cause it's gettin' me high*

“Ugh, I’m up, I’m up calm down sparky” I spoke into my phone as I began to rub my eyes, gawd I always hate waking up early.

“Jack, bro get your lazy ass out of bed we gotta go! We’re outside come on” my best friend Chase yelled into the receiver.

“Give me 5 minutes then I’ll be down” with that said I disconnected the line as I watched the screen turn to a picture of my ex girlfriend, damn I’ve gotta change that “a weekend with no worries” I thought to myself as I hastily jumped out of bed almost tripping over the pizza boxes littering the carpet around my bed, my boxers hanging loosely around my hips. I spied the bottles of vodka and whiskey on the bed side table it’s halve empty contents begging me to take a swig, my head was pounding from the night before, the party was off the hook everyone of my so-called friends drinking and having a good time “I bet if I wasn’t part of the football team this shit wouldn’t be happening” I said aloud, maybe it was more to myself I don’t really know anymore.

I grabbed a pair of pants and a clean T-shirt and made my way to the bathroom, as I walked in I was ambushed by the smell of some cheap perfume, laughing quietly to myself,

“at least I had some very amazing company” I amused the thought of calling the girl up maybe for another one-night stand hmm what was her name again tiffany? Brittany? Barbie? Crap how am I supposed to remember I was so wasted. I jumped into the shower letting the cold water sober me up as I washed the smell of alcohol and sex off myself. After my very refreshing shower I made sure my hair and clothes were perfect, I picked up my bag lying by the bed and headed out the door.

The sunlight was almost blinding, sounds from all different directions  were breaking into my mind and making my headache worse, popping a few pills to help put my mind at ease I went through the mental checklist in my head,

Bag-check

Tickets-check

Doors locked-check

“Hey dude stop daydreaming and hurry up we need to get on the road if we’re going to make it to Chicago in time!” chase yelled from the driver side of his 67’ mustang.

“Yeah pretty boy lets go, I’m not going to miss deuces wild in concert because you want more time to do your hair.” And that was charlotte, chase’s very loud, very obnoxious girlfriend. Why he let her come I’ll never understand.

“Don’t get your panties twisted you old gank I’m coming.” I know it sounds harsh but u should hear some of the stuff she says to me.

I stuffed my bag into the trunk and slid into the back passenger seat, Darrell and his girlfriend Janet were already in the car. Closing the door I thought I caught a glimpse of charlotte frowning at me but I just shrugged it off.

We were already an hour into our drive to California, everyone was excited about seeing our favorite band play in concert that they couldn’t help but bounce off the walls. The car was moving steadily across the highway and that’s when the b!tching started.

“Are we there yet, how much longer, can we stop I need to pee!” charlotte whined over and over again I swear she may be my buddy’s girlfriend but she’s going to get left on the side of the road!
