Midnight memories

Tragic Beginnings and Mysterious strangers

"Nathan get down here we have to leave!"
I yelled to my brother.

"I'm coming! I still have to get one more thing!"

As he yells from the top of the stairs.

Right now I'm heading out to take Nathan to his first sleep over since our parents died. He's just been to depressed to even think about friends.

After I drop him off I'm going to a party all the way across town, I won't stay long but since Nathan will be gone I might as well go out and have a little fun before I have to go back to being "mom" tomorrow.

As I'm lost in thought I was interrupted by little feet running down the stairs then a THUD.

I look on the ground and there's Nathan back on the floor laughing.

I look at him with a stern look and say,
"Nathan Alexander Gomez what did I say about running down the stairs! I've told you a million times not to do that and yet you don't listen."

I always feel bad yelling at him but I've had to take care of him since he was 7. Maybe I was a little harsh? You could tell he was upset.

I grabbed his hands, pulled him up then pulled him into a hug and said,
"Nat you know I love you and I don't want you to get hurt."

He had regret in his eyes and you could tell he was sorry.

"I'm sorry Ang I'm just really excited! I haven't gone to a sleep over since...Well...Since....you know.."

"I know bud don't worry you don't have to say it. Let's get going, you don't want to be late."

You could tell the light in his eyes. Finally we were ready. I grabbed my keys, my phone and we were out of the door.

*10 Minutes later*
I finally got to Nathan's friend Josh's house. Nat got out and I said,
"Nathan remember If you need me you know my number. If you want to come home I'll be glad to come get you."

He looked at me like I was crazy,
"Angela I'll be okay but I will call if I need you. Love you!"

I smiled, I loved hearing him say that'
"Be good and behave yourself! I love you buddy have fun!"

Now time to go out.

I texted Harmony,
A- hey girly text me the address!
H- okay hold on.

After she texted me the address I plugged it into my gps and headed toward the party.

*40 minutes later*
I finally arrived at the party. Music was blaring from the house and people were outside with beers in their hands.

I parked and got my keys and phone. I locked my car and walked inside. It smelled like a bar and I didn't necessarily like it.

*30 minutes later*
I finally found Harmony sucking face with this dark haired blonde guy with a beard. I tapped her shoulder and when she looked at me you could tell she was

"Harmony come on I have to get you home."
I said as I was pulling on her arm. She was trying to get me off of her but she knew she wasn't going to win.

After finally getting through the crowd we made it to the door. As we were about to walk out I bumped into someone,
"Oh sorry I didn't mean to walk into you."

I didn't think of looking up because well I had Harmony being a drunk clutzy mess next to me.

The guy I bumped into mumbled something but I didn't catch it. He seemed cute, I mean I only saw his outfit but that's about it.

I finally got Harmony into the car and back to her house. Now I can go home and relax and watch some TV.

When I got home I went to my room and put on some pjs and then went into the kitchen and made myself some tea, then curled up on the couch and turned the TV to the news. I found out that right after I left the cops showed up.
