Broken

Chapter 14: I Like Your Laugh

So last night was...interesting.

Almost immediately I was abandoned and left to fend for myself. I spent most of my night stuck between drunk sluts and drunk idiots. Both sweating might I add. About half an hour into the party some drunk girl rammed into me, spilling the drink in her red solo cup all over me. I assumed it was vodka due to its strong sent and clear appearance, but really you never know. I'm just glad it was clear and it just looked like water was spilled on me.

I didn't see anyone I came to the party with all night except for when I caught a quick glance at Maya across the living room, but only for a second until she was swept away outside.

It was around three in the morning when I got tired of being alone and caught in a drunk people sandwich. So I found my way out of the house and to the front lawn. I made my way over to Jaxon's car and sat on the curb by it because I was hit with the brutal reality that the car was locked. I took out my phone to text Jaxon and let him know I was waiting by the car for when he was ready to leave. 

At five AM I was drifting off to sleep, laying my head on the hood of the car, when I heard voices nearing me from the direction of the house that was still somehow roaring with music. When I listened closely, I could hear some very familiar voices. One in particular coming from a very agitated sounding Jaxon.

"Guys, could you chill out and get to the car, I need to get all of you home and that's not going to happen unless you get in the car."

I get up from my spot on the curb and walk up to Jaxon, holding back a giggle at the sight of him trying to control four drunk teenagers.

Jaxon turns back to me and his face turns into a scowl at the sight of me.

"You think this is funny Leti?"

I shake my head no, furrowing my eyebrows and puckering my lips, trying to contain my laughter. My face came out looking more like I was mocking seriousness than genuine seriousness.

Jaxon smiles lightly, letting it fade quickly as he sighs and turn backs to his very drunk friends.

"I'll deal with you later, but right now I need to get them and you home and I can't do that if they don't get in the car."

I nodded my head and help him with dragging his friends in the car.

We got everyone home within a good forty-five minutes and I ended up at Jaxon's house for the night, not wanting to spend a night alone at my house, since my dad is out drinking all night.

So that brings me to where I am now, sitting in Jaxon's living room,at seven in the morning, watching Boy Meets World whilst Jaxon sleeps upstairs in his room. I didn't sleep at all last night. I don't know what was up with me. I lied down trying to fall asleep last night, or technically earlier this morning, for a good hour. And can you guess where that got me?

Yup, you guessed it.

Absolutely no where. I literally lied on the couch staring up the ceiling trying to sleep, but for some reason, my brain would not allow me to sleep. It's frustrating because I'm tired and I almost fell asleep before Jaxon got to his car with everyone.

"You're awake?" I jump at the sudden sound of Jaxon at the stairs, my sudden movement causing me to fall off the couch.

"Uhhh, yes... I am."

I lift myself off the floor, and turn around to find Jaxon with his knuckles in his mouth as his attempt to keep himself from laughing. 

"Stop laughing at me. Had you not snuck up on me I wouldn't have been on the floor just now. You shouldn't be laughing, in fact, you should feel bad." I tell him, turning on my heels and crossing my arms, trying my hardest to not smile.
