Future Favorite Regret (Jalex)

8: Who's Ready to Party?

Title: Hello Brooklyn by All Time Low

"LET THE SLUMBER PARTY BEGIN!" Justin shouts and tosses a cooler filled with wine coolers onto the couch. Rian sits down next to Tay.

"First on the agenda is a good old-fashioned game of karaoke. Also, we have to wait for the pizza," Lisa says. She turns on the TV. "So, I'm not cool enough to own an actual karaoke machine, so we're using YouTube lyric videos... Who's going first?" 

"Vic should go!" Kellin says. Vic's jaw drops and gives him an incredulous look. "We've never heard him sing."

Just as Vic is about to say something, the doorbell rings. Tay and I run to the door. 

"Order for Lisa?"

"That's me," Lisa says from behind us. The man hands us four pizzas. Lisa pays and waves him goodbye. "Ah, what a nice time to be alive," she says and closes the door. "Imagine being a teen with no access to unlimited pizza."

Tay and I shrug and bring the pizzas into the kitchen. 

"MAMA OOOHHH-" Justin screeches the lyrics to the Queen song.

"PIZZA IS HERE!" Lisa shouts. Everyone stops what they're doing and runs. "Ah, just like crazy dogs," Lisa says and hands out plates.

"Justin, I dare you to-"

"No no no, it isn't truth or dare time yet. I'm also not drunk enough yet," Justin cuts Kellin off and grabs a slice. "Also, ya boy hungry."

"Alex, eat-" Lisa hands me a plate. I grab a slice. "Good," she says and walks to the table. 

"Hey, you okay?" Tay whispers. I give her a look. "You've been acting kind of... Weird. Is it about what happened yesterday?" 

"Nah," I grab some fruit. "I'm just a little tired, that's all."

We walk over to the table where Justin is sitting on Kellin. 

"Get off me-" Kellin whines as the rest of the table laughs. "Justin, I can't breathe," Kellin groans. Vic just laughs and pats Kellin's head. "Viccy help me." Kellin looks at Vic pleadingly. 

"Alright, Hills, get off of Kellin or else I'll snap your dick off," Vic barks. Justin gasps and rolls off Kellin's lap. Kellin thanks Vic and stares at Justin.

"I'm fine by the way," Justin shouts.

"Alexander, I dare you to kiss Tay on the lips," Justin slurs his words. "I will sit here and watch. It better be passionate or else I'll sue the school."

Tay and I look at each other. I pull her towards me and place a peck on her lips. Justin just groans in annoyance. 

"Lis, truth or-"

"Dare me up. This game is getting boring," she interrupts me.

"I dare you to call Andy and confess that you're in love with Juliet." Everyone gasps and some start laughing. 

"Can it be anonymous?" Lisa asks slowly. I nod. She sighs and calls Andy. 

"Put it on speaker!" I say. 

She taps the speaker button. 

"Hello?" Andy speaks through the phone.

"Hi Andrew, I'm in love with Juliet so can you like... Fuck off?" Lisa says, pretending to slur her words, and purposely changing her voice to sound like someone else. 

"What... I don't-"

"Whatever. You men are pigs and I hope you realize that I fucking love Juliet more than you ever could you... male... ghostbuster."
