13. The party (part 2)

Problem - Ariana Grande

************************************

I opened the door with a loud bang and looked around the room. Where is Jen? And Rick? I was burning with anxiety and worry. The blasting music was irritating but I managed to dial Jenny's number.

"Come upstairs, to the first room on your left," a male voice replied. It wasn't Nate's voice but I was too alarmed to notice it and climb the stairs two by two.

"Jenny!" I exclaimed when I opened the door and found Jen lying on a bed and two boys on the counch; Nate and Joey. I rushed by her side and tapped her cheeks lightly to wake her up. She just stired in her sleep but nothing else. It was then that I noticed her dress' belt thrown on the floor. This is kind of awkward and suspicious..

"What the hell is going on and why are you two in this.. bedroom.. with Jen?" I sent deadly glares to the boys while questioning them.

"She drank vodka and then puked on my shoes-" Nate began to explain but I interrupted him.

"That's rubbish! She never drinks."

"Well in fact she didn't really know that it was alcohol so-" Nate explained again but was cut off by me again.

"You tricked her into drinking vodka! How dare you-" I was nearly yelling but Joey contributed to the conversation.

"Stop yelling like a mad woman and let him tell you the whole story!" He snapped angrily while fisting his hands.

"Did you just call me mad?" I questioned incredibly.

"Yes I did because you are behaving like one," he said arrogantly.

"Then let me show what a mad girl can do." I took a step dangerously towards him as if ready to pounce on him and attack him but Nate came in between, just in time to save his mate from me.

"Just stop it the two of you and listen to me!" His voice was low but firm and strict. "Your friend here drank my drink by mistake and ended up vomitting on my shoes. I guess it was her first drink ever so I got her here and took off her belt for her to feel more comfortable. What's wrong in that?" As he explained the whole situation, I calmed down and felt a bit ridiculous.

"Nothing.. But what is his role in this whole scene?" I gestured towards Joey.

"If you didn't know; you are at my farmhouse!" He chipped in before Nate.

"I called him to help me look after your friend until you come. It's him who answered your call earlier," Nate said more calmly.

"Okay okay.. But where is Rick?" I ask lastly.

"Rick? You mean the defender of the football team?" Joey questioned calmly.

"Yeah.. Jen is his date tonight."

"I think I saw him dancing with one of those cheerleaders," Joey said.

"Perhaps that's why Jenny was so upset when she gulped my drink," Nate suggested.

"I don't think Rick would do that but anyways, we should be going now." I just want to get away from all these things.

"But your friend is asleep," Joey reasoned.

"Instead of stating the obvious, you could help me to put her in the car," I argued back.

"You can both stay here tonight. It would be more practical and you wouldn't have to drive in the dark," Nate suggested.

"No it's fine. Thanks though." Nate is really kind compared to his idiotic friend but the idea of staying here is not really appealing.

"You can stay. I'll make the arrangements," Joey added emotionless. Now that I'm thinking about it, how am I going to take a drunk Jenny home?

"Well.. it might be a good idea. I'll be gone as soon as she wakes up." Jenny you owe me a big one for staying here.

"Great, I'll-" Joey was cut off by the sudden opening of the door and walking through it was his girlfriend, Britney.

"Joey! There is this defender guy searching for-" She stopped talking when she spotted me. "Who's she?"

"Her friend was wasted so she came over to help," Nate briefed in. Britney eyed me from head to toe as if I was a freaking showpiece. She seemed slightly drunk but she could at least be a bit more polite.

"Whatever.." she ignore me. What the hell?

"Hello to you too," I said sarcastically. She gave a nasty look but however ignored me.

"Anyway, there's this Rick guy downstairs who-"

At the sound of his name Rick made an entry in the room a bit shaken. As he layed his eyes on a sleeping Jenny, he relaxed and turned towards me.

"Abby I-"

"Where the hell were you Rick!?" I nearly screamed. "Do you even know what Jen's been through?"

"I-I thought she was fine with me dancing with someone else.."

"How could you think of something so stupid!?" My fisted hands were trembling with anger. What a dumb excuse to tell! As I thought that I would hit him, Joey grabbed my arm in an attempt to calm me down.

"Go away Rick and don't even come near her again! Got it?" I swear that if looks could kill he would be just a corpse by now.

"But let me at least-"

"Are you deaf dude? She told you to fuck off!" Joey spoke up for me. I'm glad he did as I was going to lose it. Rick seemed a bit frightened by Joey who was soon joined by Nate. As for Britney, she just watched the scene quietly. In my fury I had almost forgotten that they were still here.

Finally getting the message, Rick left grumpily leaving us in a dead silence which was broken by Britney.

"Okay.. it was a nice entertainment but I'm tired as hell! Joey darling, drop me home?"

"I'll drop you while he makes these girls comfortable," Nate offers and literally drags her out before she can protest. Now it's only me and the dickhead..
