Two Hearted

13

Ben walks over to the freezer and pulls one of the tequila bottles out of the fridge. He grabs four shot glasses and sets them down on the table, I look at him waiting for him to start pouring the alcohol.

"I figure we wait for Devin and whoever else decides to ride with us tonight. So sit down and be patient, because we are all about to get smashed. You might want to turn your cell phone off now so you don't call anyone because once we start we wont stop." Ben tells me. I turn my phone off and throw it in my bunk and go back to the table where Sam and Devin are now sitting and talking to Ben.

"Lets get fucked up!" Devin says super excited. He hands me a shot glass.

"To maybe remembering this tour." I say just before throwing the shot to the back of my mouth.

"Chaser?" Sam asks me handing me a small can of pineapple juice. I shake my head and hand it to Devin who sets it on the table in front of him.

"Ha you're more of a man then Sam." Ben laughs.

"Be nice to Sam he is awesome, even if he does take shots like a little girl." I say as I tease him.

"Well since you aren't 21 I guess I should take this from you." Sam says as he grabs the second shot that Ben has placed in front of me. I look at him and gently bite my lip as I slide my hand on to his thigh and move it up as far as I can with out moving my entire body. He gives me a half angry half surprised look before handing me the shot.

"Aw thanks." I say as I blow him a kiss. Devin gives me a look and takes a shot as he stares an unaware Sam down. I give him a light shove causing him to look at me.

"What Lex?"

"Leave it alone, we've talked about this. You said you were ok with it, if you aren't please let me know." I say to him as we watch Ben and Sam talk about who knows what.

"Just don't make it so obvious. It's getting annoying and at some point i'm going to get too annoyed and be done." He angrily whispers to me. I shift my jaw and turn away from him as the door opens. I see that Andrew has just walked in and is looking at us.

"Want one?" I ask holding out a shot glass for him to take, he smiles down at me and grabs the glass out of my hand and takes the shot. He tries to sit on me, I scream and push him off of me and he hits the floor with a loud thud and starts laughing.

"I can't believe you don't want me to sit with you." He says hurt.

"Maybe when i'm a little more drunk ill let you. Right now i'm too sober to deal with you. Plus Devin seems to be too salty right now." I tell him as I offer him where I had just been sitting. He sits down there and I take a seat next to Sam who scoots over to give me more room. Devin shoots me an angry look as I take another shot as we feel the bus start up and begin to drive.

"Drew, did you know that Alex can take shots better than Sam."

"Oh yeah I knew, she is very good at it, thats actually how we met. You guys probably haven't heard that story yet." Andrew says to the guys.

"Oh I know." Sam says to Andrew who gives him a look.

"Wait what? How did you two meet?" Devin asks us.

"We met at a college party we were both basically trashed and we woke up the next day in bed together." Andrew says to the guys. Devin looks at me pissed off and Ben looks at me with pride in his eyes.

"You two slept together?" Devin asks me.

"That's what the story my roommate told us lead us to believe. Not that any of that is any of your business. We hadn't even met yet Dev in your world I didn't exist, so please don't get all pissy with me." I say Ben is still staring at me and Sam has his hand on my thigh.

"So you slept with Andrew? Haha thats great!" Ben laughs as he pours another round of shots for us, Devin takes three in a row causing us to all look at him. I take one from in front of me and stare him down.

"Ben pour me some more." He says. I watch as Ben pours two more and he takes them and then opens his mouth to confront me again.

"So did you not want to mention you two sleeping together or did you forget?" Devin asks. I take another shot and shake my head.

"Does it seem like that is a question i'm going to answer right now?"

"Why are you so concerned about her not telling you? It's not like she was avoiding telling you squirt, we didn't think you would ever hear about how we met so stop being a fucking ass." Andrew says to his brother. Devin flips him off and stares off behind Bens head. We continue to take shots until super late.

                     Next morning
I awoke to a massive headache and a bucket sitting next to me. I roll over and find another body next to mine covered in a blanket. I sit up slowly and look around the front lounge of the bus to see if anyone else is up there with us. I don't see anyone up front so I crawl out from underneath the blanket and into the hallway to find three bodies half hanging out of bunks. I decide not to wake anyone up and make my way back to the bathroom where I throw up.

"Alexia's up." I hear Ben mumble from outside the bathroom door.

"How am I alive? I feel so dead. How much did I drink?" I ask him leaning against the toilet as he walks in to the bathroom.

"McKenzie you should probably be in a hospital and should Devin. You two started going shot for shot last night. Then after we all went to bed you and... actually I don't know who started having sex in the front." Ben tells me as he hands me some water and a few pills. I take them and stand up with his help.

"So who did I sleep with, is the real question."

"Oh god." We hear yelled from the under the blanket.
