Seth's P. O. V
"Aren't you supposed to drive Abbi home?" I ask as Pat and I walk to his car. "Nah, Scarlett picked her up" Pat replies. "Scar? Why?" I ask running my fingers through my hair.
I don't like the thought of them being alone, I know they can both kick some ass but I'm uneasy about the fact that there's a psycho killer running around Morgans.
"I don't know. Scarlett's your girlfriend" Pat snaps adding a laugh at the end. I roll my eyes and get in the passenger side of his car.
"You know I haven't seen or talked to Jace since the night we were over Scarlett's playing never have I ever after Haley's funeral" Pat tells me as he pulls out of the school. "Yeah. I heard from one of my buddies that Jace dropped out of school and is taking online classes so he can avoid people" I tell him. He laughs.
"He's probably just spending his days at the strip club using liquor to lessen the pain, that's what I'd do" Pat tells me. I shake my head.
"That math test was the death of me" I laugh as I stumble to Pat's fridge. "Where does your dad keep his beer?" I ask raiding the fridge.
"Cabinet to the left of the fridge. He says that he quote 'counts them every night' but that's bull because I take beers for the party out of there" he tells me. I open the cabinet and there's a horde of all different brands of alcohol.
"You want one?" I ask. "Yeah just a plain Bud lite" Pat calls. I nod and grab a Bud lite and a Jack Daniel. I carry the drinks to the living room where Pat is already dominating at Call of Duty. "Pass me a controller" I order. I trade him the beer for the controller.
"You know our senior year has been so fucked up" I laugh while managing to kill two enemies at the same time. "No kidding" he deadpans.
"You know what we need?" I ask pausing the game. "To get drunk until the bastard whose killing everybody is killed?" Pat spits. "Yes, but that's not what I was gonna say. We need to get what's left of the gang together" I tell him. Pat starts to smile.
"Yeah that would actually be fun" he admits. "You text Coby and Abbi, and I'll text Jace and Scarlett" I tell him. He nods and grabs his phone.
I first text Jace.
Up for dinner at Sammie's?-Me
No I'm fine-Jace
Cmon man the gang will be there-Me
It's not the same-Jace
Of course it's not but we shouldn't let some prick ruin our friendship-Me
Fine. When?-Jace
"Hey Pat what time should we meet?" I ask. "6 I guess since its 5:12 now" he replies. I nod.
6-Me
Fine but we better have alcohol-Jace
Cmon Jace don't underestimate the power of Seth-Me
He doesn't reply after that so I text Scar.
Hey hot stuff what are you doing at 6-Me
Probably just hanging out with Abbi and Maggie-Scarlett
Well if you girls aren't busy maybe we can hang out as a gang at Sammies?-me
Sounds fun-Scarlett
See you then-Me
"Scar and Jace are up for it, what about Coby and Abbi?" I ask before taking a sip of my drink. "Yeah. Coby sounds like hell. He kept mumbling Meredith's name" Pat tells me.
Maggie's P. O. V
"I don't want to make it awkward since I'm two grades below you guys" I tell them. "It's fine Maggie, it'll be awkward anyway because we'll be missing two" Scarlett nervously laughs from the drivers seat. I see Abbi hit Scarlett's arm. "Hey that's just how I cope" Scarlett protests.
"Sammies!" Scarlett exclaims putting the car in park. "Will there be alcohol?" I squeak. "One could only hope" Abbi laughs getting out of the car. I feel my stomach churn as I get out of the car.
"The party can start now" Scar laughs as we approach the table. "Everyone this is my cousin/little sister Maggie" Scarlett introduces me. I give a nervous wave. Scarlett sits down next to Seth whose at the end of the table and I sit beside her.
I only talk to order my drink and food. I feel really awkward being surrounded by seniors, seniors drinking at that.
"How old are you?" The guy at the end of the table asks me while everyone else is talking. "16" I tell him. He bites his lip. "Not to big of an age gap" he says with a wink.
"Shut up Coby, did you just forget about Meredith?" The guy beside him snaps. Coby glares at him. "At least I slept with her" Coby snaps. "It's not my fault Haley wanted to stay pure for marriage" the guy snaps.
I hear Scarlett snort and mutter "like she did that". "What'd you say?" The guy asks raising his voice. "I said 'like she did that'" Scarlett repeats.
"Scarlett!" Abbi exclaims glaring at her. "What do you mean?" The guy asks. "Yeah what do you mean?" Pat asks. "Haley was pregnant" Scarlett blurts but then slaps her mouth with her hand. "I'm so sorry Jace. I-I wasn't supposed to tell anyone. I'm so sorry" Scarlett squeaks.
I look at Jace. His jaw is clenched and he has a glossy look in his eyes. "I-I can't do this anymore" he stutters getting up. "Bro where are you going?" Coby asks grabbing his arm.
"I'm leaving. I can't just hang out like doing happened. The love of my life died and you guys are just acting so damn happy and shit even though your best friend died!" Jace shouts fumbling with his wallet and slapping down a twenty. "Jace come on, just sit down and have a beer" Seth says trying to calm him down.
"No! I'm not getting drunk and I'm not doing this anymore!" He shouts walking away from us. "He's right you know" Coby says to the group. "How are we acting happy and shit? We're obviously pretty sad and pissed about the whole thing" Pat snaps. Coby rolls his eyes.
"I'm just gonna leave, it's obvious that you guys don't understand what it's like to lose someone you love" he growls. I hear Abbi scoff and I see Scarlett's eyes flicker towards me. Coby doesn't even bother paying he just walks out making sure to slam the door behind him.
"Sons of b"-"Scarlett" I interrupt her. "They lost someone too" I tell her. "But he wasn't the only one. We all loved Haley and Meredith. Hell I knew them before any of you guys and you don't see me ditching my friends just cause they died" Scarlett hisses crossing her arms.
There's awkward silence for a while. During that awkward silence I see Pat and Abbi having an eye conversation and Seth is rubbing Scarlett's thigh as her face is buried in his shirt.
"So" Abbi starts taking a deep breath "it's Connor's birthday tomorrow, and we're having a party for him. I'd love it if you guys would come" Abbi offers. Scarlett shrugs and gets up. "Will there be alcohol?" Scar asks. Abbi smiles.
"It's Connor's 22nd birthday of course there will be alcohol" Abbi laughs. Scarlett smiles but then glances at me. "What about you Maggie?" She asks. I shrug and feel my cheeks redden.
Sure I'd love to spend the entire night with Connor but he's 6 years older than me and it'll be weird being at a party with his 22 year old friends. "I can always go to a friends house" I tell her.
"Nah, when are you gonna be able to experience an over 18 party being 16?" Scarlett laughs. I smile but inside I'm nervous. "See you then?" Abbi asks me.
"What you aren't going home with Scarlett?" Pat asks. Abbi smirks. "I have something to do with you" she replies pecking his cheek. "What about me?" Seth squeaks. "Oh yeah" Pat groans "can't I just give you the stuff tomorrow?" Pat whines. Seth sighs and glances at Scarlett.
"Yeah luckily I brought my bag but I'll need you to bring my textbooks" Seth tells him. Pat smirks. "See you tomorrow"
