Max’s pov
I went home to have a shower and get ready for the party at Ashley’s later tonight, whilst Andy got ready at his. I decided to wear a black tank top and some black shorts then I chucked on the first pair of shoes that I could find lying around. I went to the bathroom and straightened my hair then put some eyeliner on so it was thick and heavy looking. I heard a loud knock on the door so I took one last quick look and then headed to the door, opening it to find Andy dressed in a tidy pair of black jeans and a nice fitting black shirt. “You look beautiful” He greeted when he saw me, making me blush a little. I return I said he looked pretty good himself.
Andy parked outside an average sized house about a 15 minute car ride from his. As we got out Ashley opened the front door, running away from whoever was in the house. That’s when it hit me,. Ashley was in nothing but his jockeys. “Come on Ashley if I have to wear this stupid fucking dress you sure as hell have to wear some clothes, whether you like it or not” Jamie called running after Ashley. Me and Andy looked at each other trying not to laugh, I don’t think that they noticed we were here yet, as we had arrived about 30 minutes early. “But Jamie you look lovely in that dress you’ve got on. It complements your wonderful figure. Just like this compliments mine” Ash grinned at Jamie who stopped to think for a while awe struck but then snapped out of it. Andy looked at me then yelled out to Ashley that he was being a kiss ass, making Ashley and Jamie’s heads snap towards us making me and Andy laugh hard at their facial reactions. Ashley walked to me followed by Jamie.
“Even Max thinks it compliments my figure. Don’t you” Ashley said nudging me.
“Um Ash, you sure you wanna show that off?” I smirked giving Jamie a high-5. Ashley walked back into the house looking defeated
“Nice one, but don’t think that you’re getting let off. You’re wearing a dress too. I’m not going to be the only one” She said dragging me into the house. I looked back to see Andy trying to laugh at me.
When I came out of the bathroom, I saw that Ashley’s house had more people than I thought there would be. How the fuck did they all get here and partying in the time it took me to try on a dress? “Nice dress” Andy whispered in my ear wrapping his arms around my waist, kissing me on the cheek.
“Thanks” I smiled turning, facing him. Leant up and kissed him on the lips. The dress Jamie picked out for me was a deep purple strapless dress. It was plain and it was a nice fit. Not too tight, but not lose. The one thing I despised about the dress is that it finished mid thigh. Sandra was the only girl at the party who was not in a dress or a skirt. Instead she wore her normal black jeans and black shirt, with her RayBans covering her eyes. The party ended up being a goodbye party to Sandra, wishing her well in Modern Day Escape, who were at the party as well and it was also celebrating the record deal. Andy and I went over to the bar that Ashley and Jamie had setup especially for the party. I got a cup of rum and coke, Andy just got beer. “So you found a new drummer yet?” I yelled over the music
“Not yet, but I’m sure that we’ll find another drummer in no time” He smirked but I could tell that there was some doubt in his voice.
“Hey Max have you seen Ashley?” I turned around and saw Jamie, looking a bit worried.
“No I haven’t sorry”
“Have you Andy?”
“I haven’t either sorry. Have you asked the other guys?” Andy suggested
“Some of them. I’ll ask a few more”
“Okay. Good luck” I wished her and watched he walk off pushing past everyone else in the crowd asking them if they have seen Ashley anywhere. Andy and I decided to move about and talk to some of the guys from Modern Day Escape. I started to lose focus when I saw Jamie looking a cross between pissed and upset.
“- yeah we’ve know Sandra for a few years” James finished
“Hey Andy, imma hang with Sandra for a while, kay?” I told him
“Yeah, okay” He replied
“It was nice meeting you guys” I said to Nick
“And you” The guys said in unison
“Jamie!” I called out again, great I had lost her. I stood outside looking around for her but then I heard her yelling at someone. “I don’t’ care that you’re drunk, I’m drunk as well but I didn’t cheat on you!”
“Please I’m sorry I wasn’t thinking straight, I swear I won’t do it again” Ashley?
“I know you won’t” Jamie said real softly, I could barely hear her
“Thank you Jamie”
“You won’t cheat on me because you can’t cheat if we don’t go out” She screamed at him
“Jamie! Please!” I heard footsteps
“No Ashley. Its over!” I ran back to where there were more people about and tried to blend in with them. I saw Jamie with Ashley following behind trying to get her to talk to him but she kept shrugging him off. He gave up and went off leaving her alone. Once he was out of sight I moved over to her
“Jamie, what happened?” I asked her when I got over to her so no one could hear us talking
“You heard huh?” Jamie wiped her eyes
“Yeah. But I think I was the only one. I went after you to see if you were okay”
“That’s good” We walked over to the road side and sat down on the curb.
“So what happened?” I asked again. She took a deep breath and started to explain
“I went down the hall to ask the people down there but then I heard a noise coming from the spare bedroom” She stopped and took another breath in and wiped her eyes too. “I went in and, and saw this other chick giving him a b-b-blow job-“ She broke down completely this time, broke down completely. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder to try and comfort her. “Maxine, you can’t tell anyone. Please promise me” Jamie said breaking the silence after a few minutes.
“But Jamie-“
“Maxine please” I looked at her and gave in and promised her. We hugged then went back inside and went up to Ashley. We pulled him away
“Look Ashley I don’t hate you, but I hate what you did to me. But we’ll tell just tell people we broke it off, because we decided that it’d be best” She told him
“Okay. I’m really sorry” She turned and walked away. I looked at Ashley feeling kind of bad for him but wasn’t sure what to do.
Me and Andy left and went back to his. We both went back to his in a taxi since we were both too drunk to drive. We’d go back and get his car from Ashley’s in the morning. We snuck in as quiet as possible so we wouldn’t wake up his parents. We climbed into his bed and fell asleep straight away.
