Au Revoir

7

Just my luck.

By the time I walked into the house I couldn't find Alex or Lilith.  I start to explore trying to spot anyone I know.  

The age group of people was probably 17 to 25, and I am not joking when I say this.  There were literally a hundred people here.  All were dressed in costumes that were interesting.  So far I've seen everything from a tampon costume to a Mac 'n cheese one.  Although there were the regular costumes like vampires and zombies.  

Then you had your classic hoes that dressed in strings, and grind on anything that doesn't push them away.  Speaking of grinding I found the living room... which was a sight, but luck was on my side when I saw Alex and Becky talking.  Having to squeeze through this crowd was going to kill me though.

"Okay, I got this."  I say starting my journey.  Five minutes later, and after accidentally touching several body parts, I got through.

"I found you Mr. Social!"  I say grabbing Alex's shoulder giving him a smile.  He gave a little smile back, but it seemed forced.  His eyes seemed to get a bit sadder when he saw me.

"Hey Jessie."  Becky said with a wave.  I nod at her.  

"Is there food here?  I didn't eat much at home today."  I ask.  Becky starts laughing. 

"Me too!"  She is literally wheezing.

"But yeah.  In the kitchen there are snacks, and the kitchen is located down that hallway to the left."  I chuckle at myself when I realized how I sounded.  It was like those jokes people made about asking for the Wifi password at new places.  Then I look over at Alex.

"Want to come get food with me?"  I ask with a smile.

"No thanks, I ate before I came."  The tone in his voice seemed dull.  I reached out to pull him aside to ask if something was wrong (which wasn't real smart since we would have to yell over the music anyways) when I felt someone tug my arm.  I look to see who it was, and it was Lilith.

"Jessie follow me!  I know one of the guys giving out beer, and he said he'll give us as much as we want."  She starts to drag me through the living room.

"Should we be drinking though?  We are still underage."  My voice wavers a bit while talking.

"Relax Jess.  Live a little."  Lilith glances back at me and smirks.  We continued to walk to I assume where the alcohol was.  When we got there we were outside in the backyard.  There was a burly man in front of a pickup truck which had a tarp on top of the back.  

"Hey Brock, we will take two bottles of Pabst please."  Lilith moves her hand from my forearm to my hand, and intertwines our fingers.  I felt my cheeks blush and my stomach get fluttery.  I'm not sure if it was because I was going to drink for the first time or if it was from Lilith.  Probably both.

He reaches into the back of the truck.  "So, who's this you got with ya?"  His voice wasn't ruff or too deep.  It was very charming.  Then he reaches out to us so we could grab the beer.

"This is Jessie.  The girl I was talking about earlier."  Lilith squeezed my hand before letting go to grab the Pabst.  After they talked for about another fifteen minutes Lilith and I went inside to eat since I mentioned I wanted to.  

Three hours have gone by, and lets just say it has been interesting.  I've had about six or seven beers and everything is so... whooshy.  I am sitting on a chair with my eyes shut enjoying the music when I hear my name being called.  

"Jessie~~"  It was Lilith.

"Hey baby"  That was so cringy what am I doing?  She grabbed both my hands, and pulled me up.  

"Lets go upstairs."  My head was spinning, but I could see that she was tilting her head and batting her eyelashes.  She's so adorable...

I go with her upstairs and she pushes me into I'm guessing a guest bedroom, and shuts the door.  We both sit on the bed and talk for about ten minutes.  Then Lilith reaches over and caresses my cheek.  We stare into each others eyes, and I start blushing again.  Damn you face..

She leans in and kisses my lips.  I kiss back, and it gets passionate kind of quickly.  Lilith pushes me on the bed then pulls away.  

"Are you okay?"  She seemed genuinely concerned for also being drunk.  I nodded my head, and wrapped my arms around her neck.  

"I'll always be okay as long as I'm with you."  I say just getting lost in her eyes.  She stares right back while we just stay like that for half a minute.  Suddenly I felt a burst of confidence wash over me.  

"Lilith?"  I softly say.

"Yeah doll?"  I smile the nickname she gave me.

"I love you."  Maybe it's just from being drunk, or maybe I was too oblivious to recognize it before, but what I know is that right now I really do feel something for this girl.  I see her eyes widen a bit like she got scared for a second, but then she relaxes.

"I love you too."  

She leans down to kiss me again when the door opens.  We both immediately sit up to see Brock and some girl with long light brown hair stumble in while making out.  Brock looks over and sees us on the bed.

"Oh, sorry.  To interrupt ladies."  He says starting to walk the girl out of the room with himself.

"No no.  Brock, Sarah, the room is all yours.  We were just heading out."  Lilith says standing up.  To me it didn't seem like we were 'just heading out', but maybe she just didn't want to be rude.  We walk downstairs.  

"So, I'm starting to get tired I might head home.  Do you need a ride?"  I ask her.  

"No, I'll probably stay a bit longer and catch a ride with someone else."  She says walking to the kitchen and grabbing a handful of popcorn.  

"Alright, well I'm going to go find Alex."  When I start walking away I hear her say something. 

"Don't bother.  He left hours ago.  Said that he had homework and stuff."  She continued to eat the popcorn.

"Oh, alright."  I walk out to my car, and get in.  Before starting it I pull out my phone to text Alex.

Me:  Hey, are you alright?  You seemed a bit down.

After I type that I put my phone in the cupholder.  I sit for a minute.  Should I be driving drunk?  I mean it's not like I'm driving too far.  I'll be okay... no.  I'll Just walk home, and get my car tomorrow morning.

After about 30 minutes of walking home I got to my driveway.  I saw some of the living room lights on meaning my mom was still awake.  

Well.  Fuck.
