Music For Cars

XXI

My birthday finally came. Everyone wanted to go to a bar whereas I just wanted to stay home. I didn't want the drama to follow me to my safe places. I just wanted to stay home until everything blew over. Too late now...I'm already sitting at the marble counter-top with loud music blasting in my ear. 

"It's so great here!" (Y/N) shouted. "Very full of...freaks." I nodded in response. Something didn't feel right about the night.

She couldn't buy drinks yet...only eighteen. The farthest she can do is just get into the club. She had the logo of the club stamped boldly on her hand to signify her adolescence. 

Chris put his arm around her and pecked her cheek. We were caught in a vicious love triangle. My drunk self began letting tears screw up my eyeliner. I've been so overly emotional lately. 

"Dude, what the fuck...stop crying." Devin nudged me. I just wanted to scream at him and tell him how stupid he looked with that damn afro and beard. 

"It's my party...I'll cry if I want to." I mumbled, taking another swig of hard alcohol.

"What's got you down?" He asked me. I rolled my eyes at him.

"You're a liar!" I shouted over the music at Chris and (Y/N). They're just making me so confused. 

"What?" (Y/N) growled at me. Chris leaned back, surprised by the loud noises. He was such a lazy drunk. As soon as the alcohol hit his tongue he was ready for a nap.

"You're such a whore!" I growled over at her. I somehow felt a smile smirking onto my face.

"It's not my fault I fucked everyone here." She shrugged, giggling and then turning to shove her tongue down Chris' throat.

"You've gotta' try harder than kissing all of my friends to piss me off." I chuckled ironically. Devin wrapped his arm around me, flicking the two of them off. As much as he drove me crazy, he always had my back.

"I'll be back." Chris patted her off of his lap. He was probably going to the bathroom to sleep. He always like to leave the party early.

"Ricky..." Her voice was soft over the crowd and it suddenly felt like we were the only two there as Devin quickly started ignoring me for Balz.

"Yeah?" I gave her a sympathetic answer.

"Will you drive me home?" She wondered, groggily. 

"Sure." I gave her a sweet smile and got up with her.

We were quickly out on the rainy sidewalk, the streetlights reflected off of the wet surface. The loud music thumped outside of the brick walls while the moonlight pierced our drunken eyes. 

"I will barely be able to drive." I chuckled even more, stumbling as I walked.

"Me neither..." (Y/N) nearly tripped over her two feet and onto my chest. 

She stayed, staring into my swollen eyes and dripping make-up. A smile peered onto her face. Her lips suddenly pressed onto mine, something I missed but wasn't expecting. Her lips were always sweet, as sweet as the poison making her act like this.

"I've got a woman now..." I deeply chuckled as I held onto her tightly. She giggled along, peeling herself from my chest.

"You know...there's something different about your mouth." Her eyes squinted at me as we resumed to head to the car.
