HEARTBURN • Noen Eubanks

A bet...

"Can you stop pulling my hair?" Evelyn grumbled as Noen was dicking around in the backseat, having her sat next to him. The two had finally gotten ready for that party. Noen didn't really put much effort in, just wore his everyday "edgy" clothes, meanwhile Evelyn really tried and put on a whole face of make up and a pretty outfit.

"Maybe if you kiss me I will." He declared, his voice almost challenging her as she just have in and pressed her lips to his, giving him a rather innocent kiss. Noen's friend Kyle who was driving the car groaned dramatically in disgust,  this close to just ending it all.

"So how many people are going to be there?" Noen popped the question to his frustrated friend as he put his arm around Evelyn while she fumbled around with her phone.

"Quite a few I think. He mentioned something about wanting to get laid... There's going to be mad chicks there." Kyle mumbled with a grin, feeling a little giddy for some action as well.

Evelyn pushed out a long sigh and rolled her eyes. "Great. Spoiled basic bitches are just what I needed to end my night." Sarcasm so concentrated in her voice that it could cut the air.

Noen grinned and burrowed his nose into the girls hair with a smile. "Don't worry, you're the best spoiled bitch out here."

"You suddenly smell like death." She simply replied as Noen thew a fit of chuckles, hugging her close in a lovely manner.

"I will fucking crash this car and drag you cunts to hell, stop with the cringy shit." Kyle pipped up from the drivers seat, the dudes been lonely and single for awhile so he's feeling attacked. Noen, of course, not giving a flying fuck continues to play with his girlfriend until they arrive at Milo's house.

                                  😭😂

Ten minutes pass and Kyle is finally parking the car, Noen and Evelyn unbuckling their seatbelts, staring out the window with a surprised face.

" Okay, when you said mad chicks, I didn't expect there actually to be mad chicks... holy-" Evelyn mumbled, there were actually a lot of people, quite a lot of girls. She didn't think Milo would ever pull this off. He's popular, but not THAT popular.

They all got out of the car and made their way inside. Fingers intertwined as Noen lead her to where he thought he might of caught a glimpse of Milo. And low and behold, there he was. Beer in one hand, a shot in the other, classic.

"You made it!" Milo screamed over the blasting music once his eyes caught sight of the two, giving Evelyn a welcoming hug and a handshake to Noen.

"You sick bastard, have you called in all the girls in town to this party or what?!" Noen yelled back with a laugh as they all had a chat for a few minutes. Milo was quick to hand out drinks to the both of them before a girl pulled him to the side, looking like she's been crying.

"Jesus... I haven't been in such a big crowd for some time now." Noen said into Evelyn's head as she just nodded, sipping beer and moving along to the music.

As the night progressed, the usual happened. Evelyn found her close people and Noen found his, so they drank in separate groups. The male spared a few glances at his girlfriend to check if she's alright, having a swell time with his old time palls. But it kept getting harder to remember her as he kept drinking, his friends and himself leaving to a room to hear each other better as Noen had completely lost sight of Evelyn at that moment.

"Noen, wanna make a bet?" A close friend of his challenged with a greedy smirk while sipping his drink, barely standing on his own two feet.

"Shoot." Noen confidently and very drunkenly responded, sitting down on a chair since his legs gave in like 20 minutes ago.

"Noah is here. If you make out with her, I run a whole block naked."

The room got quiet. Noah was Noen's ex. The girl still lingers on his mind sometimes. She left him without any explanation a few summers back. She was really loved by him, she still is and it breaks his heart each time, he was in love with Evelyn, but damn.... Noah is a whole first love and first everything to him.

"I don't think that's a good ide-"

"ALRIGHT! I ain't no pussy." Noen shot up from the chair, cutting Kyle off as he roughly slammed his beer on the table, making it splash over his hand a bit.

"Noen, wait, what the fuck are you-?" Kyle got cut off again as he was just about to bring up that he's dating Evelyn. Noen only laughed and patted his shoulder a few times before leaving the room with a grin on his face, on an actual mission to find his ex.

It's not that Noen, in his right mind would ever do this, but alcohol is an enemy and he knows that. Yet he makes the same mistakes...
