After that kiss (a shoey fan-fiction)

Chapter 66

Shane's POV

I woke up. It's Christmas! I put on my Christmas sweater that I used for Maybe This Christmas and wore some dressy black pants. Joey smiled. He wore an antler headband with bells on it and a red sweatshirt. I smiled at him, too. How could I not? He is perfect. He picked up his phone and told Cat we were on our way. We walked to the car and drove to Cat's. Considering it's 5:07 PM, we got there tired. We walked to the doorstep of her house at 6:24 PM. She opened the door before we could knock.

Cat: Hey guys! Ssshane Joeyyy

She slurred and sipped out of a red plastic cup. Yupp, she's a drunkard right now.

Cat: Come in, come in!

She pulled us in the house. Almost everyone here was people we know. Another one of these parties. I turned to  Joey and he looked at me wide eyed. I grabbed his hand and we walked to the kitchen. Worst. Decision. Of all time. Lisa was standing on the countertop drinking and giving a strip tease. She saw me before I could turn around and leave.

Lisa: Hey Ssane

She slurred so bad I almost couldn't understand her. I waved and backed up. She jumped off the table and went to hug me, with nothing but underware on. Ew. Joey squeezes my hand and I squeeze back. She smelled like a certified drunkard. She gets off of me and hugs Joey. His face looked annoyed. She got off of him and ran away, don't know where, but she took a right turn at the other doorway of the kitchen. I sighed. Joey then suggested something I never thought I'd live the day to hear.

Joey: Want to go get beer?

Shane: What are you nuts?

Does he not remember the last time I got drunk? I literally cried so much in Satsuki I had a headache from guilt. I had messed around with Lisa. Anyone remember that? No?

Joey's POV

Joey: No, I'm Joey. And besides, we've been under so much stress lately.

I felt Shane tense up but he relaxed and sighed. He then nodded and we walked along the already drunked YouTubers. Now,  this is my first time drinking. Serious matter. So it's going to be weird. There were red cups everywhere and I saw on the countertop the variety of liquors they had. I took a beer for now. I know I will be back here soon. I grasp at the cup and stare at it. I dont know why I am so scared. It's not like I'm drinking underage. I take a big gulp and it goes down, burning my throat. Im tempted to spit it back up but I force it down. Nothing feels different. How do people get drunk with this crap. I look around and realise Shane walking away from where I was with two cups of beer. I put my cup back on the table and go for the whiskey. I take a smaller sip, considering what happened the last time, and it still burned, just not as much. It hit me automatically. I started to feel light. Like I was as light as a feather. I took another sip and it hit again. I liked the feeling so I grabbed another cup. I started to walk away and I took bigger gulps until one point, I felt like I was floating and was seeing blurrier. Every piece of stress felt as if were gone. It felt like I had no worries. Now I know why people drink. When I finished my second cup, I started to search for Shane. I felt like I was lost in time. I turned my head and everything looked slow to react. At one point, I found Tyler, who was talking to some chick with orange hair.

Joey: Hey Tyler, habe you seemm Ssane?

I slurred. It felt wrong but right. Tyler looked worried for me the moment I said hi to him. But he sighed and told me where he was. The Orange Haired girl said she had had small talk with him earlier. henThen he advised me to put my man away. Weird, I dont remember taking Him out.  He was also erect too. But I put Him away and walked to where I was told Shane was. He was there, throwing up in a corner. I took him by the hand. I dragged him to a seat and I walked away from him. I started laughing hard. I walked upstairs and into a room. There was Cat, Sawyer, Lisa, Ian, Anthony, Ingrid, and Lilly sitting in a circle.

Lilly: Oh, hey Joey! Wanna play spin the bottle with us?

I smiled.

Joey: Sure

I was drunk. I didn't know what I was doing but I let my body take over what my mind said not to do. I sat next to her and smiled. Lisa smiled.

Ian: For every turn you take, you have to sip some vodka.

Joey: Lets do it!

Shane's POV

I got up  and started to walk around. I was so drunk and my head was pounding from all the harf time I had throwing up. I continued to walk around until the girl I said hi to earlier approached me.

Shane: Hey

She smiled, but it seemed like a sad smile.

Orange Hair Girl: You dont remember me do you?

I frowned. I shook my head.

Orange: It's me, Anna. The nurse from the hospital.  Remember?

All the memories came flooding back. The hospital. Joey. Everything. I smiled

Shane: Hey Anna! How are you?

I slurred. She smiled.

Anna: Great. Hug?

I nodded and gave her a hug. She put a grip on the hug and when she let go, she grabbed my hand and pulled me into a room upstairs. She closed the door and locked it. I sat on the bed and smiled at the whiskey. I pointed and she nodded. I started to take big gulps. I put it down when it was a little more than half way gone. She sat next to me and made tiny circles on my left leg, with an arm around my neck. She had her legs crossed.
