Sick Little Games [Jack Barakat]

Guess Who It Landed On

"Come on!" Jack grabbed my hand, "It'll be fun!"

I groaned as he dragged me out of the house and down the driveway and into his car.

"Why am I letting you drive?" I mumbled.

"Because you don't have your licence yet."

"You got your license yesterday."

He shrugged. We pulled up to a big two story house, and got out.

"Who's house is this?" I asked.

"Richard's." He said, walking up to the front door. I followed him.

"Jack. You know I don't fit in with anyone but you guys.." 

"Mad," He grabbed my hands, "You'll be fine. Just socialize. Plus, all the guys are here." 

With that, he kissed my forehead and opened the door. We walked in to a sea of people. He dragged me to the kitchen and poured us both an alcoholic drink. He handed me mine and we touched our cups together and took a sip.

The drink burned my throat, but I pretended like I was fine. We walked to the living room and found a group of Jack's friends.

We talked for a while, before Jack decided to ditch me. I sighed and found Alex. We danced for a while, and I downed a couple more drinks. 

About an hour into the party, I felt pretty dizzy. But in a good way.

Alex grabbed my hand and pulled me to the living room. We found a group of kids sitting on the ground in a circle.

"Let's play!" Alex shouted, obviously drunk as well.

He found us two open seats in the circle and we sat down. That's when I realized we were playing spin the bottle.

I saw Jack on the other side of the circle. He smiled and waved at me before spinning the bottle. I felt my stomach drop, I didn't want him kissing any other girl at this party but me.

And of course, with my luck, it landed on Stephanie. She smiled at Jack and pressed her lips to his. I felt my heart crack in half.. But why? It was Jack. My best friend Jack. Not my boyfriend Jack. I have no reason to feel this way towards him. Maybe it was the alcohol getting to me? That's what it is. Definitley. I'm only a sophomore. I'm not inlove with Jack. He's like my brother.

By the time it was my turn to spin the bottle, I felt my hands shaking. Who would it land on? Since my kiss with Jack, I've only kissed one other guy. And it was my ex boyfriend, Toby. I spinned it and I prayed for it to land on Jack.

And guess who it landed on?

He smiled and me and pressed his lips to mine. With a bit more force than I expected and we fell over. I laughed into the kiss and he straddled ontop of me. And in any other situation, kissing him would be weird. But since we're both drunk. It's okay.

Alex continued to kiss me hard on the lips, but I kind of liked it. I figured everyone else went on with the game and just enjoyed the little hook up I was having on some guy's floor.

After a while, he finally pulled away and got off of me. He helped me sit back up and I looked over at Jack, but he was gone. Must've got bored or something. 

I told Alex I had to pee and I got up and searched for a bathroom.

I ran into Zack on my way there. "Heyyyyyy." 

He looked down at me.

"How are ya, Jackypoo?" I asked and stumbled a bit.

"You're drunk out of your mind, Maddy." He said, "I'm Zack."

"Hey." I whispered, "I just made out with Alex."

"Did you really?" He laughed.

"Yeah..But I need to go pee so.. I will talk to you lataaa!" I shouted and looked for the bathroom.

When I found it, I closed the door behind me and fell to my knees infront of the toilet. Suddenly, I began to throw up. Like a lot. I flushed it and looked around the bathroom. Someone knocked on the door.

"One second." 

"Hurry up." She groaned.

That's when I realized it was Stephanie. I stood up and stumbled to the door and swung it open.

"Hey whore." I said.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me.. Hey.. How did it feel to kiss Jack?"

She smirked at me, "That's what this is about? You like Jack?"

"I like him sooooooo much." I said, feeling my eyes start to get droosy.

"Why don't you tell him that?"

"Because.. He.." Before I could finish I threw up again, this time, all over her.
