From the start [Prequel to That One Hummel]

Drink

"Rachel is having a party?" I laugh and shake my head. "Wow, role reversal much?"
"Are you okay to come?" Finn asks.
"Yeah, I'm fine why?"
"Because..." Finn trails off rubbing the back of his neck.
"You don't have a good history with alcohol." Kurt cuts in for him.
"Past is past." I shrug and look between the two. "I learned about being around alcohol and I'm not drinking so I can drive."
"I'm also driving." Finn smiles at me sheepishly.
"There, now when is it?"

I walk down to the basement, taking in what Rachel is wearing while trying not to laugh in her face because she looks so stupid right now.
"Do you want a drink ticket?" Rachel asks.
"Is that supposed to be a hint at me?" I raise my eyebrow and scoff.
"Oh god no! I just-"
"I'm kidding, Berry." I chuckle and tap her shoulder lightly.

I look at Quinn and Lauren as they yell at Puck. I can't help but laugh as I take Quinn away, only to get shoved lightly.
"And you! I used to be straight and happy with who I was!" She yells at me.
I roll my eyes and put a hand on her shoulder to stop her.
"Quinn, you're drunk. Stop it."
I look at Santana and Sam, trying not to gag at the fact my ex is making out with trouty mouth.
"Sit with me." I mumble, pulling her onto my lap with me as everyone plays spin the bottle.
"I missed you." I hear a mumble and smile slightly.
I wrap my arms around Quinn tightly, letting her rest her head on my shoulder.
"I missed you too." I kiss her head lightly and close my eyes.
"I like your hair."
I laugh quietly, rollin my eyes as the game continues in front of me. I feel my eyes widen and my jaw dropping at Rachel and Blaine kissing. I automatically tense at seeing my twin hurting, I'm not letting him go through what I did.

"Come on, Quinn." I tug at the blonde and help her into my truck.
"Mind giving this one a place?" Sam points at Santana.
I scoff and nod before helping the Latina into the truck and closing the door carefully. I sigh heavily as I climb into the drivers side, pray for me.

I throw a couple of shirts onto the bed for Quinn and Santana to wear to bed since they don't have anything and I'd literally die if they decided to sleep naked.
"Max." Quinn slurs and pulls me down to the bed. "Santana and I were just saying how amazing you are."
"Thanks." I gulp and look at my ex.
"So, you should sleep with us."
"That was kind of the plan, sharing a bed." I laugh nervously and sit up a little.
"You're so cute." Santana giggles drunkenly.
"I don't want to take advantage of you guys while you're drunk, I'm not sleeping with you. It's going to confuse me and I don't need anymore confusion or stress headaches when I gotta figure out my feelings." I rant and stand up quickly.
"Don't you think we're pretty?" Quinn sniffles.
"Oh god, no...you're both beautiful but I don't sleep with people when they're under the influence of any substance!" I quickly grab my shorts and a hoodie to change into.
"Sleep."

I look at the guys in disbelief for the song they created about alcohol, this is supposed to raise awareness. I look at Mr Shcue and shake my head quickly.
"Let me do something." I jump onto the stage and grab a guitar.

"I'm sorry, Max but I think it's a little too much."
I scoff and roll my eyes slightly.
"Okay, I didn't spend my entire summer in rehab getting my life together for these guys to literally sing a song that makes drinking sound great! Or the fact Kesha is something you want us to consider."
"Max-"
"Save it, please. I'm sitting this assignment out." I sigh and walk out of the auditorium quickly.
"Max!"
I turn to Quinn and frown slightly as she chases me down. I cross my arms over my chest, considering the fact I let her and Santana share my bed which I didn't mind because it's huge, or the fact I made them breakfast and had to face a lecture from my dad because I had not one, but two girls in my bed.
"I'm sorry, about everything." I open my mouth to speak but she covers it with her hand. "I care a lot about you, and thanks for letting me stay at your place the other night. Please don't walk away from me all together after this." She takes her hand from my mouth and pulls me down a little.
"Hold on." I smile, pulling back a little to take off her sunglasses.
I let her pull me back to kiss me, I hope this isn't fake. I don't think I'll cope if it is. I let her take a little control over the kiss, until she shoves me against the walls hiding behind the curtains. I pull back slightly and keep our foreheads touching.
"I'm not gonna walk away, but please don't play me."
"I won't, I promise."
I grin, pulling the smaller girl closer to me, kissing her once more as we hide in the darkness.

I could get used to this.
