Two Hearted

14

                                                                                           Midnight

I had just taken another shot in unison with Devin who was probably on his 12th shot for the evening and still seemingly fine.

"Maybe you two should slow it down." Sam warns as Ben begins to pour another round for us.

"You can go to bed if you don't want to see us drink anymore. Nobody is going to stop you." Devin tells him. I kick him lightly in the shin which causes him to swear loudly at me.

"Oh you're a baby that didn't even hurt." I say to him as I feel his brother's arm slide around my waist.

"So you two are going to fuck again? Way to be a whore."

"Well you stopped sleeping with me so why is it any longer your business? "

"You were sleeping with Sam. I wasn't about to do him dirty like that." I look over at Sam who is sitting frozen in his seat staring at me.

"I had to tell him about our spray painting adventure. He got all pissed and stopped sleeping with me." I say to him, he nods and begins to play on his phone.

"He knew we had hooked up?"

"Yeah he knew about all two times." I half shout just before taking another shot. Devin rolls his eyes before standing up and walking towards the back of the bus. Ben shoots up and rushes behind him, probably making sure he doesn't destroy anything valuable. I look over to Sam who is watching Ben half tackle Devin before he gets to the vocal booth. We both laugh as they fall to the ground. 

"You know Devin really likes you right? Maybe you should try just being with him." He says to me as I take another shot and look over at Andrew who was staring outside and watching the country just pass by. 

                                                                          That morning

Ben and I wander up front to find whoever was under the blanket had since moved. I sit down on the couch and put my legs over top of Ben as we sit in silence for a few minutes.

"So how long until we finally get to Washington?" Ben yells up to the bus driver. 

"About 8 more hours, why are you guys getting bored?" He yells back at us.

"YES!" I scream. I throw myself down and slide down off of the couch and on to the the ground. Ben keeps my legs in his lap and I begin to start humming.

"You are the weirdest person I know and i'm including my girlfriend in that statement." He says to me.

"Wait what?" I ask half sitting up.

"You're the weirdest person I know?" He asks me.

"No no, nono. You have a girlfriend?" I ask him.

"Yeah, and I have a kid. I thought Sam or hell even Devin might have told you. They're pretty cute." He says as he shows me a picture of them from his phone. The girl has beautiful blonde hair and wonderful blue eyes. The baby has cute little curls sitting atop her head and blue eyes just like her parent's.

"BENJAMIN! She is beyond adorable! When do I get to meet them? " I ask as I take his phone from his hands and stare at them.

"They're going to be at the Omaha date. So then." He says getting up to get me another glass of water. He hands it to me and I take a couple of gulps before setting it down next to my head and putting Ben's phone on his lap. 

"Ben! What happened last night?" I hear Devin yell as he walks up front holding his head and squinting his eyes. I feel anger rush through me as he sits down next to me on the floor and takes a swig from my water glass. I smack his leg and hold out my hand for him to give me my water back. I do a half sit up and finish off the last of my water, I hand the empty glass up to Ben who gets up to get me some more water. 

"Get Dev some motrin he looks like he is about to die, and i'm not about to have this kid die on me." I tell him as Devin leans forward and rests his head against the cool cushions, I reach over and rub his back as we wait for Ben to comeback over to us. 

"How much did we fucking drink?" He asks taking the pills Ben has handed him.

"Well i'm so fucking done with the lyrics 'well drink you under the fucking table' so that should tell you a little something. Also we have to stop by another liquor store here in the next few days." He says picking up an empty tequila bottle, and handing it to me. 

"Oh my god. Is that why I am in fact seeing god?" I ask him handing the bottle to Devin who looks at it with a sickly glow emanating from his face. I roll over and push myself up and stride over to the cabinets and pull a bowl out and hand it to Devin. He gives me a quiet thank you and hunches over the bowl. 

                                                                                       3 am

"WE'LL DRINK YOU UNDER...THE FUCKING TABLE!" I scream as me and Andrew take another shot. I dance around as some sort of techno music plays, Andrew is making some sort of microwavable food and Devin is laying on the ground watching us. I sit down next to him and put my hand on his chest.

"You know that I called everyone in my phone trying to find someone that would let me stay with them. Two things happened, either they didn't pick up or they told me no. I didn't call you because I know it is harder to say no in person and you didn't and thank you for caring." I tell him. 

"I didn't want to come off as a dick, plus when crying girls come up to my door I forget how to say no. I should have said no, you just sleep around with people I care about now. So maybe we should just not talk any more." He tells me trying to sit up but failing as I push him down. Andrew walks over to the couch and sits down as he holds a steaming plate of mac n' cheese. 

"We want some!" I half shout trying to stand up but failing and falling down. 

"NO!" He says shooting over to the bunks and climbing in to one. I look down at Devin and raise an eye brow at his upset look. 

"Its really easy to make I could show you, even though cooking is not really a skill I possess." I say to him as I slowly lay down and put my head next to his. 

"I can show you. I am very good at cooking very gross things, but that is still cooking." He says turning his head so he is looking at me. I lean in a kiss him, he smiles and kisses me back, rolling me so that I am under him. I wrap my arms around his neck and tangle my fingers in his hair as we match our lips movements.
