I wiped my eyes and applied my mascara AGAIN! I had been crying most of the day. I just couldn't stop thinking about Andy. I looked at the clock and it was almost time for Charlene to pick me up. I sighed, and finaly got my make up done this time without tearing up. When I was done I straightened my hair and then got dressed. I stopped in front of the mirror to look at myself. I was in jeans and a black My Chemical Romance shirt that Andy bought me when he took me to their show. My hair was down and in serious need of some touch up color. I decided I looked okay, and just in time too. I heard Liz get up and answer the door. I grabbed my purse and ran out to the front. Charlene was in a very revealing halter top and a mini skirt. I was starting to rethink my outfit when I saw Seth in his normal t-shirt and jeans. Charlene took my hand, and pulled me outside.
"BYE LIZ!" I shouted, and waved. She just laughed and shut the door behind her.
"You look amazing!" Charlene said, and hugged me.
"Thanks. I feel crummy next to you." I told her.
"Don't be silly. You look great." Seth said. "Char just likes to really dress up."
"I'd smack him, if it wasn't true." She said, and climbed in the front seat. I got in the back of Seth's car, and then he drove us to this party. It was a house out in the middle of nowhere! I was starting to get tired and doze off after half an hour went by.
"Yay! We're here!" Charlene said, excitedly. Seth put the car in park, and we climbed out. The house screamed party house. The yard looked like shit, and there were empty cans everywhere. I could hear the music from the road, and there were so many cars! Most of them parked right on the front 'lawn'. If you could even call it that. We walked up to the front door, and before Seth could knock, it flew open. Jarrod was there. He looked so different too! His hair was short, and he had pierced his bottom lip and his left ear three times.
"FINALY!" He shouted, and hugged Seth and Charlene. They walked in and he saw me.
"Hey, Macey. What a surprise." He siad, and hugged me. I could smell the liquor on his breath and laughed. He let go, and looked at me.
"You look good." He said.
"So do you." I told him. And he did, even in just shorts and a longsleave shirt. I laughed when I read what it said, "fukkmee.com".
"Nice shirt." I said.
"Thanks. I dig it." He said, and let me in. There were so many people in the house. I could see out the window to the back yard and there were even more people out there.
"Drink?" Jarrod asked me.
"Please." I said, and looked around. I didn't see Charlene or Seth anywhere. Leaving Jarrod as the only person I knew.
"So, how have you been?" He asked me, leading me into the kitchen.
"Better." I said.
"Have you heard from Andy or Jason?" He asked me.
"Andy, but I don't want to talk about it." It old him.
"I havn't heard from either one of them." He said, and handed me a beer. "But, onto bigger and better things. What have you been up to?" He asked me. We talked about school and stuff for a while. After several beers, we moved onto shots with everyone. After the shots, god knows what. All I know is I was drunk, and feeling a hell of a lot better!
I woke up several hours later outside on a bench. The sun was just barely coming up, and I was freezing. I was really confused until I saw Jarrod passed out on the ground next to me. I started laughing, and he woke up.
"What the fuck?" He asked, and slowly sat up.
"Why are you on the ground?" I asked him.
"I don't know. I don't remember anything after Sam broke the window." He said.
"Someone broke a window?" I asked.
"Yeah, you don't remember?" He asked. I shook my head no, and he laughed.
"Fuck. I need to go home." I said, and yawned.
"You look cute when your make up is smeared." He said.
"Shut up!" I said, and tried to kick him, but I missed. I wiped my fingers under my eyes to get rid of any mascara that smeared. He laughed, and got up and sat next to me.
"It's cute." He said. "And you are cold!" He added, wrapping his arms around me.
"I am." I said, and shivered.
"Then lets get outta here." He said, and stood up. I followed him out to his car, stepping over many people on the way.
"Do you mind if I just go to my place? It's closer, and I don't think I should be driving." He said, after only five minutes or so of driving.
"Sure." I said, giggling. He just smiled, and we got to his house a minute later. It was in a small neighborhood not far from the house party. There were two other cars parked in front.
"Home Sweet Home." He said, and got out. I climbed out and followed him in. It was pretty empty inside. There was one couch, and a pool table in one room, and the other a couch, chair and TV. We walked through a kitchen, and down a hallway past three rooms with the door closed.
"Bathroom." He said, tapping the third door. "My room." He said, and opened the last door. There was a twin matress on the floor, and a computer desk and chair in the corner. That was it, no dresser or TV. Just a closet.
"You can sleep on the bed. I won't make any moves, I promise." He said, and I laughed. He layed down, still wearing his clothes, and pulled the blankets over him.
"Come on." He said, holding the blanket up, wanting me to climb in with him.
"Um-"
"Just climb in!" He said luaghing. I just shrugged and climbed in his bed with him. He pulled the blanket over us, and wrapped his arm around me. I felt kind of awkward, but that feeling went away when I heard him start to lightly snore. I laughed, and got comfortable before I drifted off to sleep.
