High Off Love

Chapter 22

September 30th

"We should go to a party!" I exclaim sitting on his couch.

His apartment is huge. It even has a balcony.

"Want something to drink?" He asks searching his fridge.

"A beer please." I tease.

Toby turns around with a very straight look on his face.

"Kidding." I state.

He doesn't laugh and continues to wait for my answer.

"I'll take a water." I look down at the floor.

He brings me a water and sits on the couch next to me. I sit there awkwardly.

"It's Friday night, we should go to a party!" I exclaim.

"It's eleven o'clock, and you want to go to a party?" He gives me a weird look.

"Come on, don't be an old man." I giggle.

"Are you going to wear that?" He looks at me with a smirk.

I'm in one of his t-shirts, because my clothes have mud all over them. I wonder who did that..

"We will go to your house first, then who's party are we gonna go to?" Toby is such a looser, but I love this looser.

"My friend Rachel has party's every Friday and Saturday at the house you picked me up from." I give him a cute smile.

He stands up and grabs his keys and motions me toward the door. I stand up and peck him on the lips. We walk out of his apartment door. Why did he have to be on the top floor? We walk down all the steps with my hand in his. I notice his touch has given me goose bumps.

We pass a dark complected girl with scrubs on that Toby gives a... warning... look.

"Do you know her?" I whisper as we get to the bottom of the stairs.

"Nope, well she had my mail one time and gave it to me but that's all."

I'm relieved they didn't do anything else. We reach his black fancy car. He opens the door for me and I scoot in. As we back out of the parking space the girl with scrubs on is walking back down the stairs.

Toby speeds out of the gated area. I put my hand on his thigh as he drives. I scoot my hand up.

"Ahh Alice don't tease me like this." He throws his head back then looks at the road again.

I move my hand down so he can concentrate on the road. I look out the window.

"I like your freckle." He giggles and touches a spot on my arm.

"That's.. um... that's not a freckle." I take my arm off on his leg and put it in my lap.

It's a spot that just hasn't gone away since I've done those drugs.

"Oh." He sighs.

We arrive at my house in silence. He

parks in front of his parents house, so my mom and step dad don't happen to wonder why a car is parked at their house. We get out of the car. He follows me to the back gait. I open it and continue to make it to my room.

I climb up the bricks sticking out of the house. I don't get why they wanted the bricks like that, but it just makes it easier for me. Toby follows me, mimicking my actions. I open my window and we slide through. My door is still closed. I walk over to my closet.

"Don't wear a skimpy dress please." Toby begs as I pull out a red dress the doesn't cover much.

I stick the dress back in my closet.
