Restaurant Regrets

Jake's POV

     I giggle, smiling at Albert as he sat next to me in the restaurant booth.
     "You really are a loser, Albert!" Shouts Lana, sitting across from us.
     "Oh come on! I did it for a Klondike Bar!" He yells back, the cutest smile spread across his soft, familiar, perfect face.
     "I've got to pee." I announce, setting my fork down, laughing softly to myself as I kiss Albert and leave the booth.
     "I didn't need to know that," Lana snickers from behind me.
    I reach the line, and sure enough the restrooms are packed, and I have to wait a foot or so away from the bathroom door.
    "What a line..." A girl in a dark purple hoodie next to me exclaims.
    I look at her, then at the woman's bathroom line. "Yeesh. No kidding."
   "I wish we could teleport, y'know? So I could just... BOOSH... and I'd be in my bathroom..." The girl smirked awkwardly, tripping over herself as the line slowly progressed.
   "Haha, yeah! That'd be great! Oh, I'm Jake."  I put out my hand, offering a handshake.
   "Jake? I know a Jake... Oh! Me! I'm Ally. Wait a minute... I know someone named Jake..." Ally's small hand drunkenly locks with mine. Suddenly, she collapses into me.
   "Holy- Did you come here alone?" I ask, trying to help Ally back to her feet.
   "Maaaybe... Why, you wanna take this party back to my place, Jake?" Ally stumbles, slurring and stretching her words.
  "Uh- No! No, you are in no state to drive, I was going to-"
  "I think I'm going to vomit..." Ally gurgled, clutching her stomach.
Fuck.
   "We're gonna go to the parking lot, okay?" I wrap my arm around her, allowing Ally to put her weight on me as we rushed out to the side of the restaurant.
The girl pushes me an arms length away, then proceeds to projectile vomit all over the vintage bricks of the packed restaurant we were once in.
"Oh god, you got vomit all over your sweatshirt..." I loosely clasp my hand over my mouth, not sure if Ally knows where she is right now.
"Well put your big boy gloves on and help a gal out," Ally smiles, putting her vomit-free arm on my chest as a way to balance herself.
"Oh you mean-"
"You know exactly what I mean, Jake," Ally throws her arms up, surprising both of us by her ability to stand.
I take a deep breathe and hold it, grabbing the bottom of her sweatshirt. I tear it off her, the dark purple hoodie flying over our heads and eventually into the shadows behind me.
"Phew..." I breathe out, welcoming the less vomit-y smelling air into my nostrils.
Ally, now in a thin tucked-in white shirt slams her lips sloppily into mine. My eyes grow wide, and I push her off me.
"What the hell!?" I exclaim, rubbing my mouth on my arm.
"What are you, gay?" Ally hisses, now leaned against the wall.
I blink in disbelief. Is it that obvious?
"Gay? What?? No! You must be-"
"Oh my god, you're gay!" Ally breaks out into a terrible laugh, letting her head lean back onto the bricks.
"I'm not-"
"Get out of here, fairy. I got no time for you." The girl I thought I knew looks me up and down, a disgusted expression spread across her face.
    I whirl Ally around, pecking her lips. She looks up at me, her unfocused eyes darting from one side of my face to the other. My hands sit on her face like they were meant there. Just like my pants, Ally was on the floor.
    I'm making a mistake. What am I doing? But ohhh- I haven't been in a situation like this since highschool... Nobody needs to know about this. Nobody.
