Everything Stands

Chapter 1 "Kelsie your such a buzzzzzz kill"

"Kelsie come on let's dance!" Holly says in a slurred voice. Here we go again, another night I have to drag her home..yuck.
"I think you've had enough, come on we have to get back to the apartment  sooner or later I have a.. um.. test.. Yeah! I have a test tomorrow..." I try pulling on my best friend's arm but clearly It isn't working.

"Kelsie such a buzzzzzz kill." She rolls her eyes but fails completely. I grab her by her hand and gradually got out the door passing all the obnoxious people, pushing my way through.

We finally got to the car, Now trying to deal  through the annoying traffic.. ANOTHER BONUS must I say.. I finally got to relax. Stress was the only thing on my mind. But we finally made it home.

"Come on Holly!" I open her passenger door. She tries climbing in the back seat to hide.

"Dude, I'm serious LET'S go!" I sigh. Her drunk self realizes I'm frustrated and gets out and walks towards the house. Holly literally looks like a penguin when she's drunk. I try not to laugh.

Stumbling with my keys we made it inside. "Finally" I said in a sigh of relief. I help Holly to her bathroom that's directly across from my room. But as soon as we walked in, She starts gagging. Thank god that wasn't in my car. I walked in the kitchen grabbing some water and saltines and made my way back to her room setting it down on her night stand.

After helping her through the night I make my way back to my room. I crawl into bed and sink in. Slowly falling asleep.

—————————————————————

"God what happened last night my heads POUNDING!" I hear Holly say in the kitchen, pushing around bottles and spices in the cabinet of our kitchen looking for Advil, I'm assuming.

Ever since the 6th grade we've been best friends. Closer than close I should say.. she's been here for me through everything and I mean EVERYTHING. I get up to help, groaning about getting up for the day when I would rather lay back in my nice comfortable bed. It must of been late afternoon. I was super exhausted last night from taking care of Holly. But at least it's a Saturday.  I get up, walk over to the kitchen, and spot the Advil in the cabinet that she was clearly oblivious to.

"It's right here dumbass." I joke with her.
"Oh.." She laughs smiling.

"Soooo..what's your plans for today!" She says eagerly.. like she's hiding something.

"You seem very happy this morning, don't ya?" I say, smiling curiously. She has this devilish grin across her face. "What happened? Did you like meet somebody or something? Going on a date." I say waiting impatiently for Holly to answer.

"Well.... yes!" She says way too happy. Oh god..Holly and her boys are very interesting sometimes but she's very pretty and so I don't see why she can't have any reason not to get guys.

"But... there's one thing." She says happy then it kinda fades. My heart races. Shit. That's never good when she adds "But".

"What do you mean but there's one thing?" I say with an anxious attitude.

"He's our neighbor... and you kinda know him from high school." She says. Dear god if it's that damn kid I'm gonna freak the fu-

"Hey Bab-" He looks directly at me.. my heart falls literally right out of my ass. Well shit..there's one thing that nobody understand and that my relationship past with Matthew Danato. He's annoying little shit and I can't stand him. He's the biggest douche bag on this earth who dates girl after girl and just uses them.
One of them was me.

"Kelsie! Is that you? How've you been!" He tries to act sweet but honestly I know the real him. I roll my eyes in my head

"I'm fine, Thanks." I scoot out of my seat trying to avoid him and Holly with a disappointed look on her face. I Walk into my room and close the door behind me.
