Max

As much as I was excited for a whole night out, I was just as terrified that I would get drunk and say something stupid such as I don't know confessing my feelings for El!? I pushed the thought out of my mind and focused on the more important things like
What do I wear? Or how do I get out of my room to acquire my phone? I decided to sort the easier one out first.
I grabbed every item out of my wardrobe and started looking through them. It was no surprise that the most common article of clothing was jeans or joggers but I refused to wear some boring clothes to a party. So I continued to go through my clothes until I found something. It was a black, thigh length dress with a v neck line and guns n roses on the front.

Perfect. I thought. I shoved the rest of my clothes into a pile in my wardrobe and placed the dress under my quilt so no one sees it. Then I decided that, to get my phone, I would pick the lock once my parents have gone to bed and quickly grab it. Then I would go back into my room and lock the door so that they don't know I've been out. Perfect. Then I climb out of my window. And voila.

Once I had eaten my dinner, I started my usual routine. I went and put my pj's on and climbed into bed. As normal, my dad checked on me to make sure I was asleep and he locked the door again. At 7:30, I heard my parents go to their bedroom and I started to get ready for the party.
For makeup, I did a smokey eye and some dark lip gloss on my lips so I would look c00l. 7:42.
I unlocked my door and tiptoed my way to the kitchen and snatched my phone. Finally!! 7:48
Then I went into my room and relocked the door as to not raise suspicious and climbed out of the window, which BTW is much harder in heels. 7:56. El would meet me at the end of the woods at 8 so I have 5 minutes to walk there. I gave her a quick text to let her know I was on my way and started my journey. This was gonna be fun.

El

Max texted me at around 5 to 8 to reassure me that she was on her way. After 5 minutes, I saw a figure walk down the road towards me. It was max. God she looks amazing. I thought to myself.
"Hey sexy!" I say. Shit why did I say that. She giggled at my remark and replied with a grin,
"You look pretty hot yourself." I was wearing a pair of black, leather pants and a red crop top with a see through black longsleeve underneath. We engulfed one another in a tight embrace before walking to the party. I had also invited will and Mike to come and to my surprise, they obliged.
When we arrived there, I noticed there were a fair amount of older kids here but I didn't really care. I just hoped Billy wasn't here because max would have been fucked if he was. I immediately saw Mike and Will standing by the entrance of the house. They looked deep in conversation and I didn't want to interfere but before I could say anything, Max yelled

"Hey dudes!" and waved. They happily waved back and walked towards us. After a minute of normal conversation, Mike piped up.

"Does anyone want some alcohol? I'm sure I saw a whole table of it inside!"
I really didn't want to have any in fear of me saying or doing anything stupid however when everyone else agreed, I couldn't say no.
We all walked inside and it was pretty crowded. Im sure I was literally walking through people at that point because there were too many people. I grabbed onto maxs hand so I didn't lose her in the crowd. Surprisingly, around the table was a lot less crowded than anyone else but I wasn't complaining.
"Hey, do you know what's in this?" I asked a random person next to me.
"Pure fuel." It was obvious that he was drunk since he slurred his words but I payed no attention. I hesitantly grabbed a cup and downed took a seemingly large gulp. It burned my throat as it went down but apart from that, it was pretty great. It also calmed my nerves more and more with every sip.

Before I knew it, I had drank about 5 cups of the fuel but I felt great. I was about to get another when Will stopped me. I'm pretty sure he was the only sober one here.

"Hey hey hey, I don't think you should have anymore for a bit. Why don't you dance instead?" he said calmly.

"But I don't want tooooooo" I whined like a child. I pouted sadly and did the puppy dog eyes. When he refused again, I left to find max. Maxie will help me. I thought. I scanned the room until I saw max, dancing with Mike happily in the middle of the room. I stumbled over to them, barely seeing straight, and grabbed maxs arm.

"Hey what's wrong?" she asked warmly.
"i need to go somewhere quieter, I have a headache." my words were slurred but understandable. Max led me to an empty bedroom and locked the door so no one else could come in. The room had led lights which were set to a deep blue colour.
I laid down onto the bed and looked at the spinning ceiling. At this point, I had no control. My body had been taken over by something more powerful. My brain was weak and so was my body but the alcohol kept me going. As max laid down next to me, I just felt sad. I didn't know why but I did. Tears stung my dry eyes and I felt a bit empty. Max must have noticed.

"Hey what's wrong?" she asked. This had pushed me over the edge. Uncontrollable tears ran down my face and Max hugged me tightly. She whispered things like shhh or its okay baby to me whilst stroking my hair. After a few minutes, I had calmed down and the tears had stopped.
"what's wrong?" She asked again.
"I don't know. Nothings wrong. I'm sitting here with this amazing girl who I love so much and I'm just sad."
She looked into my eyes with a sad expression.
"you love me? As in a friend way?" she asked. I didn't know why I said it but I did.
"no. Not in a friend way. As in a 'I want to kiss you way.'"

Our eyes were locked and my heart was beating. Very fast. At the time, I didn't realise what I'd done, but it felt right. I gently pressed my hands onto her soft cheeks and leaned in. Her lips pressed against mine and it felt like fireworks were inside my stomach. The kiss gradually became more passionate, our hands exploring every inch of our bodies
(not in a weird way u nasties, just arms and back and hair and stuff. Detty pig.)
and our tongues moving to a rhythm. When we pulled away, I gasped for breath. I think I forgot how to breathe for a second. Shit. I have just kissed maxine Mayfield.
