The boys had finished editing our beautiful movie, 'Blood Drips Heavily on Newsies Square' So Michael said it would be a great idea to have a party so we could watch it and all hang out. Wow wasn't this just going to be a great night.

"Are you going to the party?" I asked as i walked to set with Gabe, we had gotten there at the same time

He shrugged "i didn't do much work on the project so i don't know"

"Oh come on" i whined "you helped us a lot and i mean it's just going to be the guys..well the guys plus me and Ele"

He shrugged "it doesn't sound that fun, i mean all of us watching a stupid video we made and then most likely drink alcohol after the fact?"

I sighed "fine, don't come" i started to walk away from him, "not like i care" i mumbled

I ended up avoiding Gabe the rest of the day. I don't even know why to be totally honest. I went home with Ele since she was going to help me get ready for the party. She wore a plain red dress that had a white collar. I worse a plaid skirt, a blue sweater, and knee high socks and black boots. She curled her hair to had a little 'volume' as she says.

The whole drive to Michaels apartment was us yelling  to songs by Billy Joel. I mean who doesn't love some uptown girl blasting from a car radio?
I got out of Ele's car and slung my bag over my shoulder, heading to the door with Ele.

Michael answered the door of course. The boys were all there huddled around the TV. i ended up next to max, he handed me a beer. I opened my mouth to protest but he stopped and told me 'it's one beer, no harm done, besides you gotta live a little" i shrugged and took a sip of the beer.

The movie was hilarious and actually filmed well. Me and Gabe's script writing wasn't to bad. Oh and my driving skills were on point. My favorite part was the credits, all the boys danced around until it turned into a freeze frame. Max made himself all disfigured with like a seven chin. We all laughed so hard we were crying. Then came the loud blasting music and even more alcohol after the film had finished. For once Gabe god something right.

Too many beers and weird drink mixtures i could feel my head pounding and i felt dizzy. I walked back to the kitchen hoping to get away from everyone when i saw him, his hand running through his dirty blonde hair as he spoke to Max and Ele. A beer in his other hand. I stumbled over to them and grabbed Gabes arm, he looked back at me.

"You cameeeee" i slurred before giggling

Gabe looked at me, then at Max and Ele, "you guys got her drunk?"

"Max gave her a beer when we got here! He started this" Ele stated

"I'm..i'm...not drunk Gabriel" I said giggling

"We can't bring her home like this" Max said looking at me

"Oh thank you for stating the obvious" Gabe said rolling his eyes

"What do we do then?" Ele asked

Max shrugged "The smart one of all of us is drunk so i got no idea"

"I'll take her to my house, Ele you call Kenny and say uh....you guys went to her place and she fell asleep so she's going to spend the night" Ele nodded. I put my hand on my head and groaned, my headache worsening,"Ok let's go party girl" Gabe said picking me up bridal style taking me out to his car

Soon we were at his house. If i was sober i would have looked around the house and gave a compliment of some sort. He brought me up to his room, setting me down on his bed. He walked to his wardrobe and pulled out a pair of sweatpants and an oversized shirt. He handed them to me before walking to his own bathroom that he had in his room, shutting the door.

I got changed and a few moments later i heard his muffled voice through the door "Are you changed?"

"Yep" i said softly before yawning

He walked out of the bathroom and over to me, he pulled the covers back and softly pushed me on the bed, "I'll be down stairs, call if you need anything alright?" He said as he pulled the covers over me

As I watched him walk towards the door something came over me. I didn't want to be alone. I wanted someone to stay with me.

"Gabe.." I spoke softly as his hand landed on the doorknob

He stopped and looked back at me, "yeah?"

"Could you....um...could you stay with me? Till I fall asleep at least?...." 

There was a moment of silence before he nodded, "yeah, I'll stay with you' he said as he walked back over to his bed

He climbed under the covers next to me. I moved closer to him, my head resting on his chest. His arm wrapped around my waist, his hand playing with the ends of my hair. If I was sober I would probably not even think about being in this position, but in this moment, something felt right about it?
