Her Mates

F I V E

From this point on, the mood was a bit tipped, but not so that the whole evening would be over. Jonah and I were talking about the upcoming school project, while Benjy and Mitch acted like two lovebirds. It was really cute and I was glad to see my best friend so happy. "In any case, we have to find sufficient sources and information on our topic in good time, I don't feel like stress if we take too long," I said. "Yes, I also think it's definitely better if we can deal with it quickly, then we even have time to revise it if necessary." I nodded in agreement and took the last sip of my mug, staring at mine in astonishment Cups. I didn't even realize I'd emptied it again. I could hear a chuckle from across me, Jonah.

"Come on, let's go get something new, then the two of them have some privacy." He pointed to Benjy and Mitch. Nodding, I got up and ran after him straight into the kitchen. Several times I had to avoid young people dancing or just standing around. Crazy how you can let yourself go through alcohol, but who do I tell something, I'll do it myself. There was relatively little going on in the kitchen, there were only two or three others here who avoid the loud music.

"Do you want some vodka or would you rather have some of the punch?" Jonah looked down at me questioningly.  I pointed to the blue punch that Jonah filled me afterwards.  He took himself a cola mixed with vodka.  "Do we want to take some chips with us or something else to eat?", my gaze fell on the table that was filled with nibbles and then back to Jonah.  "Eating something can't hurt, let's see if there's still something from yesterday's pizza?" I was immediately on fire, after all, I loved these pastries and my friends knew that very well.  So I walked over to the fridge and opened it right away, actually the plate was still pretty well filled with my beloved pizza.  "Hey J, take the plate.  Thanks! ", I held the plate more or less behind my back, half my head still hidden inside the fridge, because the chocolate pudding had got my attention.  With my right hand I took the bowl in my hand and the left grabbed another mug of tiramisu, finally I pushed the fridge's door shut with my foot.

"Somebody's got an appetite again, it's good that we always have so much in stock." Jonah looked at me with a mischievous smile. I laughed and joined him at the kitchen table and together we started to eat the meal, just as I had finished the pizza and Jonah handed me a spoon so I could eat my desserts, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that I was being watched, two people stood there and stared in our direction. Confused, I turned in the right direction, of course with a spoon filled with tiramisu in my mouth. And it was actually nobody unknown, on the contrary, there were two out of five people who were partially to blame for the whole situation a few days ago. I think the man's name is Zacharias and in my opinion the woman's name should be Emilia, but I'm really not that sure. Confused, I turned away again, after all, I really didn't want anything to do with them, at least not at this moment, for me at the moment only my fun with my friends really counted. Thankfully, I took the next full mug of punch from Jonah, only to exe it almost completely. Jonah looked at me in shock until we both started laughing. Quite a lot, mind you, I got up swaying to get the bottle with the tequila as well as the salt and the lemons. "J-boy, let's have fun now!", winking, I sat down across from him again.

After I don't quite know how many shots the bottle with which I had filled another SHot was literally torn out of my hand and angrily pounded on the table. Amazed, I looked up at the person who had done this, of course while I slowly raised the shot gas and quickly emptied it before it could be taken from me. This person was none other than Zacharias or the man I think is him, when I looked at the situation more closely I could also see Emilia in the background. "Just because you want something too, doesn't mean the alcohol has to be grabbed out of my hand. I just mean. As a rule, asking really costs nothing. Sorry not sorry. ", Because I had already consumed a lot of alcohol I could still speak quite clearly. Something that didn't just surprise me, the two newcomers were also amazed. "Jonah, seriously, you know very well that you should take care of her and not make sure that she is bottled. And then there is no one there to help in an emergency. She's a fucking human who can get hurt really easily, you know that very well! ", Zacharias voice sounded really not too happy.

"Hey Mister, I'm a fucking awesome human!", My words were actually less understandable but not incomprehensible. Immediately I could feel the looks of all three on me, the looks of Zacharias and Emilia were really intense. "Yea that's you.", Emilia's voice was soft while she spoke to me. Happy about this confirmation I beamed in her direction which made her smile too. "Jonah, we will take her with us now and make sure that she is safe." His voice made me not even dare to say anything against it. In contrast to Jonah, he seemed to see things differently. "But ..-", Jonah didn't even have the chance to say what he wanted, then Zacharias started to growl. I looked at him in amazement and started to giggle. "You-sound-like-a-dog!", I had to pause between each word because I now had the hiccups. Which only made me laugh harder.

I couldn't look that fast because Emilia and Zacharias accompanied me out of the house.  This bothered me somewhere, firstly because I couldn't stand how I was determined and secondly, I am too stubborn to be carried, supported or pulled by others.  That really bothered me a lot right now.  Which is why I tore myself away from both of them when we got into the fresh air, even if this was more difficult than I had imagined before.  But anyway, I looked angrily over at the two older ones and above all up, after all they were real giants compared to me.  Even Emilia.  "I am not disabled, extremely drunk or grossly unable to walk." I turned angrily away from them to make my own way.  "We didn't mean that at all, Babygirl.  We just want to make sure that you are fine! "Said Emilia.  I didn't answer that, whatever.  It was just weird that they care so much for me when we don't even really know each other.  We saw each other for the second time today and it's our first conversation.  "Come on, we'll bring you home safely.", Zacharias said.  "Okay, but I don't want to be hugged by you again or anything like that. The last time was really enough."

I didn't get an answer to that, instead the three of us went off.  The path ran once again through the all-too-familiar forest and while we were walking I got more and more tired, something that did not go unnoticed.  "I really can't watch you trying to stay awake and on your way.  May I carry you please? ", Zacharias broke the nightly silence and because he was right, I agreed with a nod and a slight smile.  When he picked me up and I found myself in his cozy arms, I felt better, I didn't even know I needed this comfort.  I cuddled a little more and more intensely in his chest, while I inhaled his scent, which was surprisingly very calming.  I still noticed how I was dozing off and it didn't really bothered me, somehow I knew that I was safe here with Zacharias and Emilia by my side.
