Chapter 22

Devin

"Do you guys want to play a game?" Layla yelled over the music, she was clearly drunk. She had a beer bottle in her left hand and her arm wrapped around Liam's neck.

"Why not?" He slurred, he was drunk also.

Eric and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes. Eric was a straight edge, he didn't believe in drugs or alcohol. Me on the other hand, just didn't see the point about that type of shit.

"What do you want to play Layla?" Eric looked down at her like a little child.

"Spin my beer bottle!..." She trailed off and walked over to me giving me a random side hug.

"You mean spin the bottle Layla?"Liam laughed really loudly falling to the floor like it was the most hysterical joke he has ever heard.

"Okay." Eric took Layla's empty beer bottle and walked downstairs to the basement.

We sat down in a circle Layla was across from me, Eric was to my left and Liam to my right.

"Ooooh Ooooh I got first!" Layla raised her hand up in the arm.

"Okay Layla you can go first but, Mr. Drakensburg goes second." He started whispering to thin air next to him.

"1.2.3!!!!!" The bottle spun 6 times and slowed down at Eric.

"Um, Truth."

"How, many girls have you slept with?" Layla looked up at him like a little puppy. It was quite an interesting question though, I didn't even know the answer to it.

"13." Eric looked down at his shoes ashamed, like he never wanted to sleep with any of them.

"13?" Liam asked astonished. "You're so lucky."

"Yeah." Eric smiled crookedly and spun the bottle.

It landed on me, shit.

"Truth."

"How was your first kiss?"

I thought about it, my first one was with a girl who was practically unconscious, Layla.

"Well, Bloody. Um.... She was unconscious. Yeah." I scratched the back of my neck and blushed a bit.

Layla started rolling over with laughter." I bet she was ugly!"

I guess she didn't know she was talking about herself right now. I looked up straight into her deep blue ocean eyes and smiled.

"No, she is actually quite beautiful." I don't think anything really clicked in her brain so I just spun the bottle. It landed on Liam.

"Dare." He smiled deviously.

"I dare you to, go kiss that girl over there." I pointed to the couple who were both making out on the couch.

Liam stood up and tripped over his feet, walking towards the couple. He poked the girl with the black hair and started kissing her hungrily.

"Okay then, I think I'll spin again I don't think he'll be back for a while." I spun the bottle and it landed on Layla.

"Yay! Me! Um... Truth."

"Who do you love?"

She looked at me confused, it took a while to process then she looked at Eric then Liam then me.

"All of you..." She looked deeply into my eyes and then My phone rung.

"Hello?"

"Devin!Devin! I need your help, the kid that picked me up at the house is doing things to me." He started breathing heavily as if he ran miles and miles away.
