Jane's P.O.V.

"Anyone got any smokes?" Asks Ashe desperately.

"Here. Go crazy!" Justin laughs as he hands him a cigarette.

"You ever gonna quit smoking Ashe?" I ask, staring into the fire.

Ashe just laughs and let's out a puff of smoke.

"Seriously smoking is gross, don't you know what that can do to you?" Lana says

"Relax Lan, it's not a big deal" ashe says

"Sure if you call inhaling poisonous chemicals from a nasty cancer stick no big deal." I infomed him while Justin laughs and takes a hit.

"I'll quit when I'm dead" ashe laughs. Leave it to Ashton to make jokes about the un living.

"Damn can't believe spring break is already over" Says lana

"Yea I'm just waiting on summer to get here." Says justin "Maybe then we can have some fun."

"Hmm like a trip to Mexico maybe, staying up all night drinking tequila and hooking up with hot senoritas." Ashe and his ideas are never good, especially when they involve alchohol.

"Hey J, you finished your piece for the newspaper yet?" Asks lana

"Ahh not the stupid newspaper shit again." Groans ashe. "That's all you've talked about."

"Shut up Ashe, go back to thinking of your mexico fantasy." Lana replies

"Gladly." Ashe bites his lower lip, which I might add is such a Ashe thing to do.

Lana and I exchange disturbing looks. "he's just mad that he can't read." I say jokingly.

"On the contrary i can read, i just choose not to." He says.

....

Justin takes a swig of his beer as Ashe is determined to light another cigarette. "Didnt you just light one?" I asked

"Yea so, I can always have more than one cigarette ya know." Ashe says.

I rolled my eyes. "Hey Jane, it's getting late. I need to get home." Says lana. "Yea me too, I'll drive you." I reply.

"Guys it's not even midnight yet." Justin says.

"Yea well I gotta get home before my dad has a melt down." Says lana.

"Things are still awry at home?" I ask

"Yea, my parents have been fighting non stop." Lana moaned.

"Over what?" Ashe asks. Like he actually cares.

"Bill's of course. Grams funeral cost my family a big deal of money, not to mention her medical bills" says lana

"Damn that sucks. Sorry Lan" ashe said that like he meant it, maybe he did or maybe he's too drunk to even realize what's really going on around him.

"You know if things get bad, you can come stay with me right?" I ask

"I know but I'm just gonna stick it out." "Anyway lets get going." She says.

"Sure. " I reply as I gather my things.

"You've both been drinking so call an uber when you decide to leave." I say all motherly which is ironic cause of course the next thing that comes out of Ashe's mouth is... "Sure thing mom!" He yells like the obnoxious person he is.

"I'm serious! No driving!" I demand. "If I find out any of you were driving drunk, I'll kill you." I say.

"Oh no I'm terrified." Ashe says sarcastically.

"Don't worry, we won't drive." Justin says with a smile

"Thanks goodnight." I say while I walk to the car.

"Night ponytail." Says Justin

[Ponytail... a little nickname Justin gave me when we were in middle school.]

"Goodnight senoritas!" Yells a drunken Ashe. They laugh

Lana and I leave.

......

I arrive home, after taking Lana home. I put the car in park and begin to reach for my house keys. I enter my house and I immediaty hear laughter but it's more like flirty  drunken laughter. Must be my parents being all lovey dovey and gross.

I head up to get to my room but what I see isn't my parents. Its my dumbass brother macking on his girlfriend. "Ew Kaz, go make out at her house instead of on the stairs." I say with disgust.

"Can't, her folks are home and we can't exactly get what we need done over there." He laughs as he goes to kiss his girlfriend.

"Mhm I should go home." She laughs

"Bye Jane." Says Charlotte.

"Night Char." I say

"Thanks you just ruined my night with Char!"

"Good. Where's mom and dad?" I ask

"Went to dinner." He says

"Alright well I'm going to bed. Night"

I enter my room and close the door. I head for my night stand and pull my journal out of my drawer. I try to continue my piece for the school newspaper but I have nothing.

"Shit" I'll never get this done. I shut the book with frustration and stretch out on my bed.

.....

Justin's P.O.V.

"Yo ma you home."

"You drunk?" She asks

"Now why would you think that." I laugh

"I know I boosey kid when I see one." She says.

"Well If it's any consolation, I didn't drive drunk. I took an uber.

"Well at least you have some sense." She says. "But You know your not to be drinking."

"Why? Never stopped me before. Dad use to let me drink all the time."

"Yea well your dad wasn't a very good role model."You aren't your dad. He can drink but you cannot." And if I catch you drinking again, there will be consequences." She demands.

"Well then I have to make sure not to get caught." I joke

"This isn't funny Justin!!!" She yells. "Do you wanna to go to jail because that's exactly where your heading if you keep this up."

"Sure beats being here." I say.

"You shut your fucking mouth!" She cries. She wipes her face begins pacing like she always does.

She stops and turns to me. "Just stop with the drinking please. Don't be like your dad Justin, be better than he is."

"No one could ever be better than dad, you know that." I mumble

Mama turns to look at me with disappointment like always before she goes upstairs.

I roll my eyes and take another beer from the fridge and march outside.

I went to my spot. The garage. Just one of the few places I can go to be alone and get away from my mom and her worrieness. I crack open the bottle and take a big swig. "Bottoms up." I mumble to myself

I lift my beer in the air. "Here's to you dad, you son of a bitch. Here's to you."
