We walk down the stairs, acting as if we're super models. Nobody seems to care since they're all either wasted or high. We walk towards the living room which has cleared out almost completely with the exception of 5 or 6 couples.

"Luke," I lean into his side and whisper into his ear. He turns towards me and nods, allowing me to go on, "I want to find Michael or Lyal," I tell him. It takes him a couple minutes to think about what I said, but he turns to me and nods.

"I'll help you," he says, smiling at me kindly. My smile widens as he takes my hand.

"There are two of them and two of us, so why don't we split up," I suggest. Hopefully we will be able to find them faster this way. Luke nods.

"I'll find Michael since I actually know what he looks like," he chuckles. I smile and nod.

"That's a good idea," I laugh. We split up, each of us looking for one of my two friends.

Knowing Lyal, he probably wants to get home as soon as possible, so there is the chance that he is already gone, but I have a feeling he won't be leaving soon because Lyal lives too far to walk, but he doesn't have a car. If he came here invited by Vince, it probably means Vince drove him.

Oh yeah, I forgot Vince was here..

But if Lyal came with Vince, it means he has to leave with Vince which won't be easy since he was probably wasted after two drinks.

Lyal's only other option would be to call his sister, Laurel who usually goes out of town with her friends this time of the year. If I'm lucky, Lyal is stuck spending the night in Luke's humble home.

Congratulations Calum, you figured out that Lyal is still here, but after 10 minutes you aren't any closer to finding him smart ass.

Fucking conscience, shut the fuck up.

"Calum?" I hear another voice behind me. For fucks sake, can't a kid just search for his depressed friend at a loud party in peace?

I turn around and see an obviously wasted Vince running towards me with two red cups in his shaky hands. He hugs me tightly when he gets to me, spilling a bit of liquor on the back of my shirt.

"Calum! I can't believe it! You were invited to the party too? That's totally sick! Do you know the people who own the place?" he rambles the questions, letters morphed into one. I can barely understand anything he says.

"Um, yeah I know him, uh have you seen Lyal anywhere?" I ask, my head moving around the room while my body is stuck facing Vince.

"Lyal? Yeah, he was in the kitchen earlier just begging me to drive him home," Vince laughs, "like that's gonna fucking happen," he doubles over in laughter, dropping one of his solo cups. I role my eyes at the drunken idiot I call my friend and walk away towards the kitchen. Of course, he isn't there.

I sigh, slumping against the wall. Rage and sadness fills my body. How the hell am I supposed to find two people out of the like, 300 people in the god damn house. I throw my head back in frustration, hitting it against the wall.

Michaelangelo is a party dude!

I jump at the sound of my phone alerting me of a text message.

Not just any text message.

I pull out my phone as it goes off again.

Michaelangelo is a party dude!

I open up my messages to see the two from Michael:

Hey Cal, I'm on my way home.

Please come home soon!

I stand up quickly and text Luke to let him know he can stop looking. He replies with an okay and asks where I am.

I quickly type in that I'm leaving as I shut the front door behind me. I walk down the front steps and down the sidewalk. I practically sprint home and when I get there, I charge up to Michael's front step. The door is unlocked, which worries me. I walk in, closing the door behind me and calling my best friend's name.

When there is no response, I hurry up stairs. I am about to go into his room but I see the bathroom light on down the hall. The door is open just a crack, so I walk over and push it open.

"Michael, why'd you leave earl- holy shit, what happened?"

A/N: I KNOW that this is a short ass chapter.

It was definitely a filler but so important you don't even realize.

So even though I'm not too proud about this chapter, I hope it was okay for you guys.

Beauty / Beast of the chapter?

Remember that I am still planning on making a one shots book based on an album.

I am thinking of doing The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance or 5 Seconds of Summer, or maybe both idk.

If I do The Black Parade (I've already written a chapter) then the one shots will be more sad and depressing where as if I do 5SOS then it'll be more fun and sexy ;)

Let me know if you have an album suggestion

The first chapter of The Black Parade will be Cake, but if you want another one based on 5SOS then I need another ship I should do.

I will have The Black Parade up by the end of this week probably, wee! Exciting!

5SOS could also be up this week if I get enough okays from you guys!

I also have a Fanfic Recommendations book that you can check out now full of some of the best bromance fanfictions I've read. Go check it out because those authors really deserve the credit <3

HAPPY 4 YEAR YOUTUBE ANNIVERSARY TODAY TO MY LOVE CONNOR FRANTA!!!!!

Thanks guys, love you!

Next update should be up soon!
