Falling - A Short Story

Gregory James

*Beez Beez Beez* Was the sound that woke me up from my nap. I rubbed my eyes and checked the time.

9:30

Okay, the party starts in half an hour and I definitely don't want to be the first to arrive so I have plenty of time to get ready.

I started to undress throwing every peace of clothe on the floor. I heated the water up and got in letting the hot water run through my body.

I left my bathroom covering my waist with the towel and opened the closet and got the first thing that came up. After drying myself and putting the clothes on I went downstairs to eat something.

"Greggy, where are you going?" My baby sister asked the moment I passed her by on my way to the kitchen.

"I'm going out but I'll be back ok?" I told her. 

That something she has also heard from Rob before. I wouldn't blame her if she didn't believe in me.

"Don't go Greg! Don't go like Rob." She cried wrapping her arms around my leg. I got down on my knees and held her tiny little hand, looking up at those beautiful green eyes of her.

"Hey look at me. I won't be away for very long, okay? I'll be back real quick. Trust me." I told her honestly with not a hint of a lie in anything I said. I could never do that to them. Ever. I'm nothing like my brother nor shall I ever be.

She just smiled weakly and nodded planting a kiss on my cheek.

The thing about Megan, my sister, is that she's one of the reasons I live. Simple as that.

After making myself a sandwich. I went back to my room to brush my teeth and hair. After that I was already on the car on my way to Samantha's house.

It wasn't hard to find it, the place was huge and you could hear the music from the beginning of the street. I parked the car at the first spot I found and walked to the house. I got there and rang the bell putting my both hands on my pocked as I wait for someone to open the door.

I was greeted by a very hot, tall red-haired chick with black bikini and some very compromising tattoos. I walked in and looked around, looking for any friendly face I could find.

"Finn, my boy!" I yelled and jumped on my friend's back when I spotted him next to the bar. He laughed and handed me a bottle of beer, which I accepted.

"Man, you have to see Samantha. She looks hot." He told me with a smirk . I laughed and nodded. Making a note to myself to check her out if I saw her.

"Alright man, I'll rang around a bit. See ya." I raised my bottle to him then walked out. I was amazed by the number of people in that house. I think I have never been to a party so packed like that. There were people everywhere and it was dark so I couldn't even see their faces straight and it smelled like a mixture of human sweat, cigarettes and marijuana.

"Hey Greg!" Some girl greeted me. She was holding a red cup on one hand. It took some time to figure out who it was because of the darkness but I soon came to realization.

"Hey Jordana, how is it going?" I asked as checked her out. She looked incredibly hot with that sexy black dress, I must say.

"Not much, just got here with Brooke." She informed me with a shrug, her words coming not very clearly, which I assume is due to the alcohol. 

"Brook Havens? She's here?" I asked just to make sure she wasn't talking about someone else.

"Yeah. She's out in the garden with Max." She said with a smirk. Oh, so she's in the gard- wait what? Max? As in...
