"And that is a way of getting alcohol poisoning." Four states as he watched me down three shots of tequila straight and a cup of jungle juice. I grimace at the burning sensation, almost gagging at the lingering taste of the tequila.

We only just arrived and I've been drinking like no tomorrow. It wasn't everyday that I get to do this, and I'd pretty much prefer going to a party hosted by someone I know than one of the parties my brother attends to.

I probably shouldn't be mixing my drinks, I knew I was in too deep and I was probably going to be drunk off my ass. I guess I'm not getting what I wanted tonight which what I wanted was to not suffer the consequences of my actions tomorrow morning. God, please let this hang over not be as bad.

"Look you should probably—" he stops himself as a guy comes up to us, this one has a beard and his shirt undone to reveal a torso full of tattoos. Four pulls away from me almost instantly that I almost stumble back. "What are you doing here?" He asks.

I look down to his arms to see him carrying a pack of beers and a cigarette in his free hand. He puts it up to his lips before blowing away the smoke. "Same as you, Four." He shrugs with a small smirk. "How's the—"

"Not here." Four says making the guy look to me.

He smiles. "I'm going to borrow him for a second. You don't mind, do you?"

"Not at all." I give him a forced smile and go back to serve myself some more jungle juice.

"Stop drinking." Four says before walking away. What he just said went in one ear and out the other as I drink what's in my cup.

"Hey, Jo." My arm is grabbed by Madi making me turn to see her, a red cup on her hand. "Where'd your man go?"

"He's not my man," I say annoyed making her snort. "And I don't know, he left with some guy."

"That was Esmer's boyfriend, Zach. To be honest, she looks more into him than he is into her." She digs inside her cup with a fork to retrieve a piece of fruit from her drink. "If anything he looks annoyed anytime she speaks. But I mean what can you expect when you're dating a high school senior girl when you're like I don't know, thirty?"

"Who wouldn't? All she does is brag about how rich she is." I say making Madi laugh. I turn to where Four and that Zach guy walked off to, seeing them both in a serious conversation by the gate. Zach says something, Four reacts by making angry hand gestures. Then he looks at me and I look away.

"Four is hot." Madi says, breaking the silence making me scoff. That's like the second time she's told me this.

"If that's your type, you're welcomed to go for it." I was not at all interested in Four or his weird name or who he was.

"Of course not, he obviously wants you."

"Or he's just horny and he thinks he can sleep with me." I retort making her roll her eyes. "How many times do I need to tell you that I don't need a boyfriend? Especially not Four."

"What's wrong with Four?" She crosses her arms leaving me dumbfounded.

"Um, for one, he's annoying."

"You are way too complicated. You need to follow in your brothers steps."

"My brother is a drug addict." I remind making her laugh.

"Not in that," She says. "I meant in dating. He doesn't get too serious, he experiments with the whole friends with benefits."

"Yeah, and I'm surprised he hasn't got any type of STD. I am not my brother." I cringe. We may share a face and a womb once before but we are definitely two complete different set of people.
