I sat down in between Darcey and Antonio. Jolene picked up a bottle of vodka and placed in the middle.
Nirvana, Avery and Sophie arranged cups of alcohol and arranged them on a table.
"What's up with the cups?" I asked
"Well, we are playing spin and kiss" Maddie said
"Spin and kiss?"
"Yeah, you'll spin the bottle and whoever it lands on has to kiss you. If you don't want to kiss them then you can drink instead" Jolene said
"There's no way I'm playing this game" I said
"When are you gonna stop being such a wet blanket and have some fun?" Darcey spanked my back.
"Ouch, alright, I'll play your dumb game"
I swallowed the lump that has been forming in my throat for hours upon hours. With every spin, my goosebumps got bigger and bigger. I actually thought that I just might escape making out with someone.
It never got to my turn because nobody landed on me. However, when Maddie picked up the bottle and spun it, it landed on me.
"Am I supposed to kiss her? Ew, I can't kiss my brother's crush" I said
"It's fine, I'll have a drink" She picked up a cup and gulped down the contents.
"Alright, your turn" She pushed the bottle to me.
"Me?" I pointed to myself and my facial expression changed to a terrified one.
I closed my eyes and spun the bottle and silently prayed that it'd land on someone who it won't be weird if I turn them down like Rico or Riley.
I opened my eyes to check if the bottle had stopped and it sure as hell had. I swallowed another lump that recently formed in my throat and looked up.
My heart froze when I saw it facing Logan.
"Oh My Gosh" Darcey said with a really weird accent.
"Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss" Maddie chanted
"Kiss, kiss, kiss" Everyone else chanted
"Well, as much as you guys would love to see me kiss him, I can't do it at least not in front of all of you. Imagine would happen if someone found especially some people" I shot all of them a death glare and they all got my message.
"What you happen if people found out?" Logan asked
"Oh, Jules has this bad girl no falling for boys aura" Darcey answered
"Oh, ok"
"Alright, hand me a cup of beer" I said
I gulped down the contents and carried on with the game.
"It's a shame that Jules escaped kissing Logan, I really wanted to see it" Maddie groaned
"Yeah, Mads, I do have an idea" Jolene said
"Uh, I'm still here"
"What's your big idea?" Riley said
"Why don't we play what are the odds that Julian kisses Logan?" She said
"No, no" I groaned
"How do you play 'What are the odds'?" Nirvana asked
"What are the odds is game that's played when you have to decide whether to do something or not. I will pick a number and the person I'm playing it with picks another number, if we get the same number then I have to do it, if we don't then I don't have to" I explained
"Ahh, we should definitely do that" She said
"I didn't agree to that" I said
"Jules, what are the odds that you'd kiss Logan?" Jolene said
I have to think of a number that's not common but what am I saying? Every number is common.
"5" "5"
We both said the number five and I groaned loudly.
"Now you have to kiss him" Rico said
I took a deep breath as I got up on my feet. I moved towards the center of the room. Logan also came towards me. He placed his hands on my waist and our lips were inches away when Andrew's face kept on popping in my head.
"I can't do it guys" I dropped my hands from his face, got on my feet and ran out of the room.
I got into my car and drove off. I didn't really feel like going upstairs so I sat down on my doorstep.
I looked at the beautiful stars that twinkled so ever brightly. I'm such a drama queen, it was just one kiss. For all I know, Andrew could be cheatimg on me.
"Hey, why did you run out of the party like that?" Jace came up to me
"I just got, I don't know"
"Well, next time, don't forget that you brought your amazing brother with you" He sat down beside me
"Jace, what's your biggest regret?" I asked him
"Why are you suddenly asking me that?"
"No reason, I just wanna know"
"Um, being irresponsible. For a brief moment, I lost myself and didn't care about my health issues. Now, I can't play football again because of my stupidity"
"Isn't there like a medicine that can help your lungs and heart when you get shortness of breath?"
"Of course there is but playing football causes hundred times the shortness of breath caused by running. I simply can't or I'll be bed ridden to life support machine. A month of that was no joke" He sighed
"Well, you don't know what the future holds for you. I have a lot of regrets but I'm yet to find my biggest mistake. Anyways, it's a fortune that we have the same face or you would have been toast"
"Yeah, pretty ironic how we are basically the same person yet so different. Our friends are really dumb asses"
"Too bad you can't be me or else you'd go to Harvard for me and I'll go to your football academy for you"
"Who says we can't do that?"
"You're an idiot Jace, I might be able to pull of being you but there's no way you can be me"
"Why not? We are basically the same thing physically. There's no difference between your chest and mine. Oh wait, mine is broader" He chuckled
"You fool" I removed my boot and chased him with it.
Sometimes, you have to forget your old and painful memories and move on with the ones you love.
