This Mess That We Are

Sleep Over with Total Strangers

The group steps into Evan's house, taking in the sight of it. It was nothing much but it was home for the boy.
"So what do you want to do?" Evan asked still shocked that there were people in his house.
"I wanted to play games, but it's only fun with a group of people." Zoe said nudging her brother.
"I could invite Jared o-o-over." Evan replied, "and maybe Alana, b-but I don't have h-h-her number."
"I do," Zoe said in a peppy voice.
"I'll be right b-back." Evan said, as he headed upstairs to message his mother.

What the Fern: Hey mom a couple of friends, wait are we friends? No ignore that, a couple of friends are coming to the house, is that ok?

Mom: It's totally fine Ev, I want you to socialize more, this is a good chance for that, all I ask is you don't do anything illegal.

What the Fern: Very funny mom, bye.

Mom: Bye sweetie. Love you. I'll be back late.

Evan sat on his bed, preparing for a talk with Jared. No doubt would Jared give a hard time about practically everything. He checked his screen again.

What the FERN: hey Jared you wanna come over and hang? The murphys are at my place and Alana is coming.

The InsanelyCool ...: Why?

What the FERN: Cause the Murphy's showed on my doorstep and my mom is forcing me to socialize. Plz just come.

The InsanelyCool ....: Ok but, I crave a boon

What the FERN: wut boon

The InsanelyCool ....: you have to tell my mom I hung with you next week even if I don't, so she'll pay my insurance. Got it?

What the FERN: Yeah

Evan clicked off the phone, heading back downstairs. He heard wild laughter. When he reached the bottom Alana was there waiting along with the group. She smiled .

"Evan I was just telling them how good you are at sin-" (I am aware it says good at sin. Save me lord Jesus Faist.)

Evan made a cross motion with his arms, signaling for her not to mention it. Luckily she caught on, but not before  
Everyone understood, and began bombarding him with questions. His face turned beet red. Just then Jared burst through the door.

"What's up gays?" He said loudly.
Connor swiftly turned to Evan.

"I thought you were joking about this kid, you actually let him into your house." He said.
"W-well yeah." Evan spewed back.

"So what we doing," Jared asked breaking the unnerving silence.

Zoe popped out of her seat.
"How about we play paranoia?" She said giddily. It was obvious she had some devious plan in mind.

Evan looked at Connor his face was lightly dusted with a layer of pink blush.

"Okay, so how do you play?" Alana asked curiously.

Zoe began to explain.
"So you have a coin ,right, and a person chosen to talk first whispers a question to the person next to them. The person answers the question and depending on the side of the coin flipped, the answer stays discreet or gets told to the other players."

'Evan, what did you get yourself into?' He thought.
Zoe went first. She leaned into Connors ear, studded earrings poking at her from all directions. She whispered softly, "Who's the most attractive in the room?"
Connor turned a deep red, and gave Zoe a glare. Siblings, gotta love em.
Soon in a quivering voice he said Evan's name, causing Evan to want to know the question. The coin flipped, suspended in the air for mere seconds. Heads was what landed, and Connor let out a stifled breath. He was safe. Next Connor leaned to Evan, face flushing. He spoke quietly into his ear.

"Who are you most likely to have a crush on in the room?"
He reluctantly responded Zoe, not wanting Connor to know the truth.
Connors face looked grossed out as if he was watching his parents do ... things.
The coin span, with Evan muttering prayers under his breath. Heads again.

Evan turned to Jared repeating the circles pattern.
"Why do you eat bathbombs?"
  Jared sat up in his seat clearly disquieted.
"How did you know about that?"
Evan smirked.
"That's not an answer Jared."
"Ugh, fine, because I love the cronch."
Jared stared at the coin, watching it. Tails. Jared's face drooped.
"So the question, what was it?" Zoe asked invasively.
" I asked why Jared kept eating bathbombs."
Every one looked shook. Connor scoffed.
"That's a legitimate thing that you do?"
"Stop laughing, Murphy." Jared snarled.
The game went on a couple of rounds until the group eventually got bored of it.
"So now what?" Jared said feigning  boredom.
"Truth or Dare?" Alana offered.
"Ok, sure."
Zoe turned straight to Connor.
"Truth or Dare my beloved brother." She said in a mock accent.
"This is a trap either way." Connor said," so truth I guess?"
"Hehe, thank you for falling into my trap. So Connor who's your crush?"
" No comment."
"Aw cmon Connor, you gotta answer the question."
"Fineillanswerthequestionjustreallyfastsoyoucantheartheanswer*cough*Evanokayimdonedidanyofyougetthatgoodimsafe."
"Well that was useless." Alana remarked.
Jared just laughed uncontrollably. He gave Connor a knowing look. Connor ignored it and turned away.
"Evan, truth or dare?" Jared said.
"U-um da-r-re, just nothing I-I-illegal."
Jared smiled, scheming a horrendous revenge.
"Sing for us. I know you can. Either you do that or I expose your crush."
Connor shrugged it off now knowing Evan had fallen for Zoe.(lies)
Evan was ghostly pale which was unnatural for him.
"F-fine. Any suggestions from the au-audience."
The entire group stood blank faced.
"How about something from your personal book?" Alana offered.

Evan shook his head no. He was not doing that twice in the same day.
"How about something from Hamilton" said Connor.
Evan nodded okay. He sat thinking of a song. He finally chose the unofficial 'First Burn'.
He closed his eyes words pouring from his mouth, lovely melodies escaping his lips.

You have thrown it all away
Im watching it burn
Just watch it all burn
And when the time comes
Explain to the children
The pain and embarrassment
You put their mother through
When will you learn
That they are you legacy
We are your legacy
If you thought you were mine
Don't
W

When Evan was done the entire group except Alana gaped at him. Connor was now a deep crimson color and his mouth hung open. Jared being Jared whooped and hollered like a drunk kid.
Zoe clapped vigorously.
"W-wow." Connor stuttered.
"What, y'all are staring like I just killed someone. Was I really that bad?"
"Exactly the opposite my friend." Alana said nonchalantly.
Suddenly Evan couldn't bare the eyes upon him, causing his stomach to churn. His eyes began to water and his breath became choppy. He was going to vomit.
"Evan," Zoe said looking concerned.
"I have to g-go." He replied As he raced up the flight of stairs to the restroom. Lifting the toilet seat up, he dry heaved until something, even the small meals he had came out.
He heard a knock on the door. Knock- knock- knock- knock. His fingers were weak and he reaked  of puke.
"Hey, its Connor, you have a nice voice."
Evan wanted to add in 'anxiety' as well but it wasn't the time. He flushed and splashed water on his face. You're good now Evan, go out there.

I'm so dun r/n. A new chapter for sure later tho
