You and I (Joey Graceffa)

Chapter 19

Lina's Pov

Joey knocks on Luke's door and a guy opens the door. Probably Luke.

"Joey, i'm glad you could make it." Luke says giving Joey a hug then looking at me.

"And you must be Lina?"

I nod.

He gives me a hug and I hug back since it is a really friendly gesture.

"Well come on in." Luke says moving to the side.

Me and Joey walk in and there are a tons of different colored lights lighting up the room. Tons of people are dancing and it looks like a normal party scene.

Joey grabs my hand,pulling me to his side as a girl walks up to us.

"Joey!!" She yells hugging him but he doesn't let go of my hand.

"And you are???" She asks questiongly looking between mine and Joey's hands.

"Lina."

"Oh, i'm Cat." She says looking at Joey again.

So this must be Cat, Cat walks away and Joey pulls me through the crowd of people.

"Shane, get your butt over here!" Joey yells jokingly and I watch as a guy and a girl come up to us.

"Lina, this is Shane and Lisa." Joey says.

I smile at them and Lisa looks at me before giving me a hug.

"We will be best friends!" Lisa gushes hugging me and I laugh,

"Sure." I say to Lisa as she lets go from her tight hug.

We exchange numbers as Shane and Joey talk.

"So? How did you and Joey meet?" Lisa asks as me and her walk away from Shane and Joey and sitting on one of the couches.

"At Whole Foods." I say remembering that day. Best day if my life.

"At one of Joey's favorite stores." She gushes again and I smile. It's good to have some girl talk finally.

I nod and look over to where Joey was to see he is talking to some more people. Probably friends.

"I'm going to get some punch." I tell Lisa standing up and walking over to where the drinks are. I grab a clear plastic cup and fill it with the red liquid and drinking some, the fruity taste going down my throat.

I finish my glass and set it on the table.

I look around for Joey but don't see him so I just shrug and make my way to the dance floor. I dance freely to the music and laugh as some drunk people fall over.

I pant as i walk over to where Lisa still sits. Dancing is so much... work?

"So how old are you?" She asks, folding her hands into her lap, raising her eyebrow.

"22!" I tell her, shouting over the loud music.

"So...One year younger than Joey?"

I nod.

"Lisa!!"

We look over to see Shane motioning for Lisa to come over there.

"I should go." Lisa tells me getting up and walking to Shane.

I lean back onto the couch and watch as a stumbling Joey makes his way over to me. Oh great. I wonder what a drunk Joey is like.

"Hey babe." He slurs and pulls me to his alchohol soaked shirt.

"Joey. you're drunk." I tell him trying to get out of his grip.

"No-no I don't think so." He slurs again looking around with his drunk state.

I try to get out of his grip and finally sucessing. I pull him up from the couch and drag him out of the party, to his car. I push him into the passenger seat and pull the keys out of his pocket then running to the drivers seat. I plop down and drive to his and Sawyer's apartment.

Joey talks nonsense the whole way.

We arrive and I pull Joey out of the passenger seat and he stumbles to the door. I unlock it for him and he walks inside.

"Sawyer?!" I yell.

No one answers.

I guess I'm going to have to stay here for the night.
