Regina sat in her bedroom, once again. After her brother dropped her off from her getting suspended, she ran straight to her room and never came out.

----

Patrick on the other hand, still stayed sat in the back of Belch's car. Along with the other boys, all trying to find a way for Regina to fall for Patrick.

I know what you're thinking, why is Belch letting his bestfriend date his little sister? Well, he seemed to feel bad after kicking her out of the group. And to be quite honest with you, he wanted his sister back in the group. She wasn't going to come without a reason.

"My dads gone for the week, should I have people over for the night?", Henry asked, looking at the three boys that were all sat in the car with him.

"I could go for getting drunk tonight.", Victor responded, tilting his head back and groaning.

Victor was very quiet outside of the group, but when they were together he would never shut up.

"Okay, let me go tell Regina that I won't be home tonight.", Belch said, then opened his car door.

----

Regina's room was dead silent, other than the soft sound of 'Girls Just Wanna have Fun' by Cyndi Lauper played in the background.

She laid on her bed, arms at her side, and her thoughts deep into her mind. She was curious on why they wanted her in their lives again, and she was even more curious onto why they thought she wanted to be.

They left her, she didn't leave them. She was the one that spend days wondering why she wasn't good enough. She was the one who spent her time deciding what she did wrong, not them

She shot up from her bed when she heard Belch slam into her room, and make his way over to her bed.

"I won't be home tonight, so don't wait up for me.", he said, before walking out of her room once again.

She smiled and ran down the stairs, once she heard him leave. She finally had the house to herself, time for movies, lots of drinking, and of course alone time.

Tonight was going to be a long awaited night, something that she hadn't had in a while.

Yes her parents here always gone, but her brother always had people over. So most of her days were spent alone in her room, with the door locked.

----

The Bower's gang pulled up to the front of Henry's house, they had picked up some pizza and booze for the night. Tonight was going to be legendary, a night they would never forget.

Belch opened up the door and the rest of the boys followed him, as we walked up Henry's old driveway into his house.

"Pass me a beer!", Patrick yelled, over to his friends that were sat on the couch in Henry's living room.

He was thrown a bottle of Coors, popping it open and taking a swig. He was trying to drown out his thoughts on his bestfriend's younger sister, he was trying to forget everything that was happening.

Throughout the whole night, he was drinking beers and managed to get down two whole bottles of Jack Daniels, along with multiple joints.

"Belch I'm going to have to check on your sister, shes all alone and she could be in trouble.", he walked over to his crush's older brother, slurring out his words.

"Okay, yeah you do that.", Belch replied, handing over his car keys too his friend. He was clearly too drunk to know the difference.

Patrick grabbed the keys, and ran out to the car. He had no idea what he was doing, as he was too drunk and high to function.

He turned on the car, and sped down the road in the direction of Regina's house.

----

Regina sat on the living room couch, sitting tucked under a blanket with a bottle of Jacks in her hand and a bowl of popped corn.

It was nights like this she longed for. Getting drunk alone, and watching sappy movies.

Not long after her forth movie started, she heard her front door open. She turned around putting out her cigarette, and looked towards the door.

In came Patrick, stumbling and slurring out words she couldn't understand.

She was drunk but wasn't drunk enough not to know what was going on. She walked over to him, grabbing his arm and dragging him back over to the couch.

"What made you get this drunk, Patrick?", she said, looking into his eyes.

He never said anything other than, "you".

Her eyes dropped, as she started to feel a little bit of excitement come within her. Did he like her?

"Wh-hat are you saying Patrick?", she replied back.

"You sound like stuttering Bill.", he laughed after her, laying his head on her lap.

She didn't reply, in fact all she did was grab the bottle of jack beside her and take a swig.

She started to feel numb inside after the quite of few drags she took, then finally decided to look down at Patrick. When she seen him he was looking lovingly into her eyes, almost as if he was waiting for her to look down at him.

They stared into each other's eyes for a while, nether of them making a sound. They both started leaning in lowly.

As they finally attached their lips, she felt his hands touch the sides of her face melting them into the kiss further.

Patrick took control, flipping her into her back deepening the kiss. He took one hand away from her face and traveled it down to her waist, running his hand up and down her stomach.

As Regina had never been kissed liked this before, she wasn't sure what to really do. Though Patrick liked it and took it as an advantage.

Both really too drunk to realize what was happening, made out for a while until they both feel asleep onto each other. Was she falling for him? Yes.
