What's In Your Mind? (Krii7y) ✔️

Chapter 34

(Jaren's pov)

I woke up and found myself naked under the covers of a room I don't remember going in. All I know is that I got drunk. I guess drunk me really wanted to get wrecked, cus I'm sore as fuck. I look around the room, it's empty. I don't exactly remember what happened last night, so maybe I didn't even hookup with someone, maybe I just got tired. Who knows? My ass doubts it though.

I get up and get dressed, going downstairs to see passed out teenagers hung around the furniture of Tyler's living room. Tyler, however, is wide awake, cooking in his kitchen as if everything was normal.

I walk up to him, "Crazy night, eh?"

He shrugs, "Yea I guess so, it's honestly a little tame compared to what normally happens."

"What's different?" I ask him.

Tyler sighs, "It's Craig, he was acting a little anxious, it's not like him. Normally at my parties, he's everywhere, life of the party." He stopped and thought for a second, "But last night, he didn't even have one drink. I know it's ok for people to not want to get shitfaced but I'm worried, something's off."

I nod apologetically and explore the house, trying to look for John, but he's nowhere to be seen. Maybe he left the party last night, like any responsible person would do.

I pull out my phone and see many missed calls from my mom and dad, shit. I'll explain to them when I get back home. I might as well look for swagger, I gotta get back to them sometime soon.

Just as I put my phone away, I spot a hungover swagger hurled up on the couch, his eyes glued to the playing tv.

I sit next to him, "When are you planning on leaving?" I ask.

Eric looks over to me, just now noticing me sitting there. "As soon as possible, The smell of sweat and alcohol is awful."

I nod in agreement and we leave soon after.

Swagger drops me off at my parents house and I hope for the best.

As I walk in, they're nowhere to be found, so I walk to my room, hoping I got there before they woke up.

I walk into my room and I'm met with them sitting on my bed, waiting for me, damnit.

"Jaren why would you leave us worried like this, we waited all night for you to come home!" My mother says, annoyed.

"I texted you and told you I'd be at a friends house." I tell her, defensively.

"Well you never told us you'd spend the night there!" She says. I can tell she's tying not to lash out.

"I'm almost an adult, I shouldn't need your permission to go everywhere!" I start to yell at her.

She stands up and gets in my face, "Well too bad, from now on, you're not allowed to go anywhere except here, and school!" She storms out of the room.

I look at my dad, hoping he'd help out, but he just nods in disappointment and leaves.

This is bullshit. Since I'm up and awake now, I text John.

Me: hey, do you remember what happened last night?

Instead of answering immediately like he always does, it goes directly to seen, that's strange.

While I wait for his reply, If I ever get one, I tell swagger what happened with my parents and shit, he's apologetic as usual, but proceeds to make fun of me for basically being grounded, I didn't expect anything more than that anyways.

About 20 minutes later, my phone lights up, showing a notification signaling that John is typing a reply.

Me: hey, do you remember what happened last night?

The 3 dots show for about a minute, and after a while, the text pops up.

Johnnyboi: no

A/N- hello thereeee! Sorry for taking so long for the next chapter, things are fucking hectic right now If you havnt noticed, I know it's not going to end well, but I hope at least something good comes out of it, the riots are a clear sign that if things don't change, shit is gonna go down (even more than it already has). Serious stuff pushed aside, i think this book is about 3/4 the way done, I'm not sure, but I at least know it's more than halfway over. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed, vote if you want to. Byeeeee
