Pretty Boy- Jonathan Brandis (ongoing)

part three

August 22 (continued)
After Jon texted me his address, I rushed to get into the car. I frantically turned my car on a started driving. My hands were shaking and my heartbeat was all I could hear.
On my way there, I realized that I hadn't even looked in a mirror. I looked at my reflection on my camera. My hair was in a shitty looking bun and there were baby hairs everywhere. I had some mascara, a few pimples showing and terrible eye bags. I was in sweats and an old Destiny's Child t-shirt but oh well, I sucked it up. He was more important.
When I got there, I couldn't help but notice how nice his house was. It was large, three-story and it looked relatively new. I rang his doorbell, and instead of getting up, he texted come in.
I walked in and to my left, I saw him on his couch. There were empty beer bottles everywhere. He didn't look to good himself. I sat down next to him.
"You gotta tell me what's going on." I said
"No. I'm fine." He said in a harsh tone.
"No you're not. You asked me to come over here, can you please tell me." I asked.
No response. "Jon-"
"You can leave." He raised his voice a little.
I got up and left the house before the tears came. I don't know what I got myself into. Those five minutes were draining. I was desperate to know what was going on but it didn't stop me from speeding out of his neighborhood, and I was half way home going 40 in a school zone when I got pulled over. Fucking fantastic.
The officer came to my door, and before I rolled down my window I wiped my eyes with my sleeve. "Hello ma'am. Are you aware that you were going 15 miles over the speed limit in a school zone."
"Sorry." I squeaked without looking up at him. He handed me a ticket. it was $100 dollars worth, and all I could think of is how dead I was going to be when I got home. He asked to see my license, so I showed it to him.
"This is a warning, kid. You could get your license suspended so be careful. And... cheer up a little, would ya?" He said.
Despite how angry I was at myself, Jon and the officer, I still managed to say "thank you, sir" and head home.
It was around 8:45 when I got home, so I quietly entered the house. Braden's bedtime was fifteen minutes ago. My mom was sitting on the couch.
"And where have you been?" She said sternly.
I burst into tears. "I went to Jonathan's house and I got pulled over because I was going 40 in school zone." I mumbled quickly.
Mom walked over and hugged me. "Oh, honey. Wanna talk about this later? You should probably get ready for bed and actually get some sleep. You look like a mess."
"Yeah." I headed up the stairs.
"Wait." She stopped me and I turned around. "How much was the ticket?" She asked, but she didn't sound mad, just disappointed.
"Uh.. a hundred bucks. but I'll work overtime next week." I whined.
"Yeah. Goodnight hun, love you. " Mom understood.
   "Love you too, mom."

That morning at school, I told Adela about last night, but I didn't mention Jon.
"Where'd you even go last night?" Adela questioned.
I froze. "Uh, the grocery store." Adela raised her eyebrow at me. "I did! Mom needed me to pick up some toothpaste."
I walked into homeroom, kind of dreading seeing Jon. After 11 minutes of the school day, I knew he wasn't coming, and he didn't.
At lunch that day, Adela and I talked about our classes, and she also talked about her new friends, Katie Carr and Adrianna Smith. I was disappointed in her, because those girls were very popular and huge bitches. They were never nice to me.
"They're throwing a party tomorrow. You wanna come?" She asked.
The date with Jon crossed my mind, I was about to tell I couldn't but I figured the date wasn't going to happen. "Yeah. I'll be there."
"At a girl."

No contact from Jon since Wednesday. Tonight was supposed to be our date, but that wasn't happening. At school Adela did ask how he was. My response was "I don't know," and that was the truth.
After school, Adela came over and we got ready together. I had been to very few parties before this one, and I was never 100% sure what would happen. I decided to go with a sexy outfit to go a long with Adela.
