truth or dare (jachary)

Chapter Five

i smiled and nodded, thinking that it could be nice to get closer to the others, being a newbie to the group and all.

when we sat down, corbyn reached into his bag and pulled out three different bottles of alcohol. i try not to freak out, though i've never even tasted alcohol before.

i look straight at jonah, who didn't look phased, so i turned to face jack. he was giving corbyn an uneasy look that soon also stared me in the face. his eyes looked more than just nervous. he looked scared, sad almost.

corbyn looked around at all of our faces. "guys, chill. it's not like we're gonna get wasted or anything. just live a little."

jack shrugged, but didn't move towards the bottles.  

daniel looked every one of us in the eyes and sighed. "i guess it couldn't hurt."

i don't know why i felt so nervous. people our age do this all the time. and i trust these people. right?

jonah poured us cups and passed them. daniel tried it and immediately spit it out and scrunched up his face. jonah and i started cracking up. jack saw how hard i was laughing and he started laughing, too. daniel passed his cup on to corbyn.

at least i'm not the only one who's never drank before.

i was terrified. terrified. of a drink.

it's all because of the day of my fourth birthday. i got to go to sky zone and jump on the trampolines, and my mom even let me ride in my aunt shelly's jeep. i knew that mom and her friends had their "adult time" and me and my friends were told  to leave them alone, but what i didn't know was that they'd get wasted and put my life in danger. i was four, i didn't even know what alcohol was.

i remember i couldn't stop laughing at my aunt because i thought she was just acting funny. she was a pretty funny person. when the car started moving, i grew terrified.

i still didnt know exactly what was going on, but i heard all the cars around us honking and felt the car swerving.

i cried and pleaded for her to take me back to my mom, but she shook her head and said a slur of unknown words.

she drove into a ditch, and the car flipped over. i flew out of the windshield and got a concussion. she died.

i realised i was tearing up at the memory, so i quickly grabbed a cup and snapped back into the game.

as we went around the circle and played truth or dare, i noticed that zach wasn't drinking either. that made me feel a bit better.

zach💍

we went around the circle, learning some of the boys' crushes and daring them to text them or little things like that. i was just praying no one would ask me my crush. i'm a horrible liar.

jonah looked to corbyn. "truth or dare?"

corbyn chose dare and jonah gave a slight smirk. "i dare you to chug that." he pointed at the liquid still left in the smaller bottle.

corbyn looked at it with wide eyes. he may have brought the alcohol, but he was still as innocent as the rest of us.

he sighed and picked it up. he actually chugged a lot, and when he pulled the bottle away from his lips, he made a disgusted face and stuck his tongue out. daniel started cracking up.

jack gave me a sideways smile. "zach. truth or dare?"

my heart started beating faster as i debated with my inner self. before i could think twice, the word slipped out of my mouth. "dare"

"i dare you to sing us a song." he grinned as if he was the most clever guy in the world.

"i-i i no. i really don't sing."

"yes you do, zach." i look at jonah, feeling betrayed. why would he expose me like that? "when you were seven you wanted to be a pop star."

i felt like panicking. i sighed. "jonah, i was seven." jonah looked at me and was not buying it.

jack looked at me. "fine. it's a duet then." he winked at me and got up to get his guitar. i glared at jonah, but he just met it with a smile.

jack started strumming what i recognized as the song from corbyn's aux cord yesterday.

'darling i will be loving you till we're seventy'

as i soon belted it out with him, i focused on his beautiful smile. god, im singing with jack avery . star of the volleyball team. my crush for years now.

before i knew it the song was over and i heard daniel whistle and say "damn, y'all can harmonize."

out of nowhere, corbyn slurred "i dare you to kiss"

A/N SURPRISEEE CLIFF HANGER AND FOR ONCE I ACTUALLY POSTED ON TIME ITS A MIRACLE BE GRATEFUL ! ! !
