~Insanely Cool~ (Jared Kleinman x Reader)

Part 13 ~ The Party: Part(y) Two

Y/N's POV

Christine ran over to me, visibly upset, while Nicole slinked off to who knows where.
"Christine, what's wrong?" I asked the distraught girl. "J-Jake, he's just being, I-I don't know." She muttered, looking at her hands.
   "Hey, hey," I said, making her look up from her hands. "Chrissy, Jake is an asshole, okay? Don't get so hung up with him, you need someone more, your style."
"Yeah, I-I guess so," Christine admits. "Well hey, did you see where Nicole went?" "Nope, she probably went to see where Michael is." I tell her. Christine changes to another topic after she gets her answer. "Oh, well then, uhm wait, where's Jared?"
Oh shit. I don't wanna tell her about what happened on the car ride here. Oh well. "Oh, uhm we had a fight, so I don't really know where he is, and I don't really care." Christine grows a frown on her face, "Oh, well, I'm not gonna pry, but I'm sorry about that. I'm sure Jared meant well, I guess he just didn't know how to express it, you know? I don't know, I just, I hope that it works out and you guys stay friends at least." Christine says sincerely. "Yeah, I don't know, just recently he's been, I don't know, more like, tense around me," I admit. "I just felt alone, I guess." After I'm finished, she gives me a tight hug, that I melt into.
"Thanks, Chris." "No problem N/N." She says with a hint of laughter, and we break away. "Now, no more sad times, you go have some fun, okay?"
"Yeah, I will, I don't want to have this outing be a total waste. Bye, Chris." I say as a walk away to explore the house. I walk up the stairs to see if I could find my brother or Zoe anywhere.

I look in a couple bedrooms and all I see is drunk teens or teens doing drugs, or teens getting it on. Gross. It kinda makes me feel bad for Jake, after he's the one who has to clean all of this shit up. Oh well, he kinda deserves it, I mean, he is the one who broke Christine's heart, and he is kinda an asshole. Speaking of assholes I see Jared. Fucking Jared.
     Shit. He made eye contact with me. Fuck he's walking over. And I'm letting it happen. Fuck it.
    "What the fuck do you want Jared?" I ask him. He reeks of alcohol. "I-I, uhm want to apologi-gize." He slurs. "Jesus Jared are you drunk? I leave you alone for like, TWO HOURS, and you're drunk. I feel like I'm your babysitter, good god." I tell him. I guess in the heat of the moment some of my real feelings spilled out. Thanks alcohol :/
"N-no I'm not dru-unk.. N/N." He lies. "Yeah okay, Jared. I'm just tired of keeping up with this. I feel abandoned. You know that? I feel-" I ramble until I feel a pair of warm, alcohol flavored lips make contact with mine. This fucker.
I freeze for a second, to make sure that this is really happening, and then I push him away. "Are you fucking insane?" I yell. I'm livid. "You can't kiss me without my consent, Jared." "Oh uhm I-" "No! No! No. First you get pissy at me and then you get wasted, then you kiss me out of the blue. I can't with this anymore, Jared. Stop it. Just stop.. playing with my feelings. I can't handle it. I'm getting a ride with someone else, okay? You find someone to drive you home." I tell him, my anger turning into sorrow. I walk away from him and go to look for Christine, I'll ask her for a ride home, because frankly, I just wanna go home.
~~~Christine's POV (after the Jeremy scene 😳)~~~
I go to look for Nicole and Michael, I'm curious to see what their costumes are. (Who's gonna tell her 😳) I start by looking in the first floor bathroom, but the door is closed so I knock on it. No answer. So I open the door. And I'm totally unprepared for what I see.
      It's Nicole. And Michael. In the bathtub. Covered by a towel. And they're asleep. Before I'm about to leave Y/N texts me: "hey dude I kinda wanna go home,, could I maybe, possibly, catch a ride with you guys..?" I reply a quick "sure." And since Nicole and Michael are a part of the "ride home crew" I suppose I gotta wake them up. Oh boy.
    "H-hey guys." I whisper. Nothing. "Guys. Wake up." I say louder and they start to stir.
     They look at each other, then to me, then back to each other and their faces flush. "Oh my god." Nicole mutters. "Please don't tell anyone Chris." They simultaneously plead. "Uhm, yeah guys. I just came here to tell you that N/N wants to leave and she's joining us if that's okay with you..?" They both nod vigorously. "Oh yeah, uhm meet me outside of the bathroom.. I guess, y'know after you guys uhm, finish, well, you know.. ok bye guys." I awkwardly tell them and walk out the door. To be greeted with a somber Y/N.
    "Awh babes, what's wrong?" I ask her, putting my hand on her shoulder. "Oh," she sniffles. "You know the usual, just Jared and stuff, I don't really wanna talk about it now, Chris."
     "Understandable." I reply, and give her a short and sweet hug. And then Michael and Nicole exit the bathroom, a bit disheveled. I'm not gonna bring it up. I'm keeping my word.
    "Holy hell." N/N gawks. "What did you guys fuck in there or what?" Oh no. "Oh, uhm no..." Nicole starts. "Uhm we just, uhm were partying harddd uhm, y'know?" Michael says, using a slighttt dude-bro voice, trying to play it of as a joke. "Oh okay.. so, you guys wanna head out of here..?" Y/N asks them, to which we all nod.
        ~~~Y/N's POV~~~
    We head to Michael's P.T Cruiser and we all buckle in. Michael drives, Nicole's in the passenger seat, which leaves Christine and I in the backseats.
   "So. That was a interesting night huh?" Christine asks us. "Yeah.." we all nervously mutter back. The rest of the car ride was silent for the most part, the only sounds being faint Bob Marley tunes from Michael's radio.
     We drop Christine off and say our goodbyes, then soon enough, it's my stop, so I wish the two well and walk to the front door, to go upstairs to my room and sleep away this wreck of a night.
    ~~~Nicole's POV~~~
    As soon as N/N leaves, I start talking and put my hand on top of Michael's, "Hey..." He glances over at me, but continues to keep his eyes on the road. "Hey..."
     "So uhm, about what happened.." "Oh, god, I'm so sorry, about that, I went too f-" He rambles before I interrupt him. "Nonono, Micha. I liked it, okay? And- and I really like you, it's okay if you don't feel the same way, but I wouldn't mind, uhm, starting something, y'know? I think you're real sweet, and cute, and I know that you'd be great." I tell him reassuringly. I was so busy rambling that I hadn't noticed Michael had pulled over the car.
   He looks into my eyes and quickly gives me a sweet peck on the lips. "Nicky, I wouldn't mind being a thing with you, so uhm, would you like to be my uhm, girlfriend.. eheh?" He says nervously. "Yes Micha, I will." I tell him and give him a peck. He just has a big grin on his face and starts the car back up and as we're on the road he asks, "Oh, and uhm, by the way, we're not gonna tell the others, uhm, are we?"
     "Oh, no. No no no. Are you kidding? They'll freak." I giggle. Michael drives us to his house, not to do anything dirty, just because my parents were out to a party and they allowed me to stay over night.

Why am I more invested in Nicole and Michael then Y/N and Jared 😳 rip ig
