Me and Daniel were on our way to Jessica place, her parents are most times not around. Sometimes when they're out of town host parties, the last time she organized a party it got messy that we had to clean the entire house for hours.
We were lucky because her parents got home after an hour cleaning the house, I swear I have never seen Jessica with her heart up in her throat like this before. Because she's usually calm and full of energy, I wonder sometimes if there's a brain in her head, it looks so empty. Daniel parks the car behind a small BMW outside the house.
"I guess the party has already started, says Daniel." We work out of the car and over to the house, trying to avoid the mase of cars and people. The sound of people talking loud and music hit my ears, we both reach the door, which was open.
As we step inside, some are dancing while others were just talking. A guy comes running past us with a girl on his Heels, she has her shoes in each hand, while they run out the door. Daniel and I looked at them, and the girl threw her shoes at him.
She barely hit him with the last one, with the shoe going over his head. We look at each other and just shrugs, since I was the one driving us home like last time, it is my turn to drink, while Daniel has to be sober.
I stumbles towards Jessica who is filling up a glass with alcohol, can you fill mine too I ask? She turns to look at me with a bright smile, I think I can. By this time things have started to get a little blurry and dizzy.
"Yeah, sure." She takes my glass, it slips out of a hand and fell on the floor, breaking into pieces. We look at each other and burst out in laughter. Jessica's hair looks Messy, even with her clothes. Her eyes are halfway open, she looks as tired as me.
Okay, I think we've had enough, we need to find Daniel.
" No we are fine she says," and lays her head on my shoulder to steady herself.
"Yeah, we're having fun Jessica yells, making the others cheer loudly, I yell with them, Daniel was not happy.
I think it's time we get home, because this is your third glass you've had tonight, it looks cracked, we need to leave.
Daniel holds me under the arm and helps me towards the door.
"Your keys?" I was searching through my pocket but couldn't find it, he gets impatient and grabs it out of my hand.
"Jesus, Jason." He says an opens the car door.
"I can take care of myself," I tried to steady myself on the door frame, he looks at me in doubt.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, go." We wave goodbye and he drives away.
I stumbled inside the house, to hear sound of voices talking, please do not tell me my parents are still up, they are going to kill me. I take a deep breath and walk straight into the living room, only to find Chloe on the couch watching TV.
"Why are you up" I hiccuped. I shake my head I tripped and fell on my mom's small table, ouch the sound of something breaking makes me wince. Oh, Shit. Before I know Chloe is already next to me. She placed her arms under mine and starts to drag me.
"What are you doing?" I mumbled. She opened a door and takes me into the bathroom.
"What is going on?" I heard dad yell. Oh no that's the way, Chloe runs out closed the door leaving me here.
"Sorry, I walked into the table by accident," I hear Chloe telling him, her voice is unsteady just like my feet, why is she taking the blame? I try to stand up but my feet keeps failing me.
"Okay, well my wife really loved that flower vase," he sighed.
I guess no TV for the week I breathed out with a sign of relief, I didn't realize I have stopped breathing for some time.
"Good night," I guess Chloe just nodded her head because I didn't hear her voice again. The TV turns off and I hear foot steps, she opens the door and found me on the floor, I try to stand on my feet but I couldn't.
"Let me help," she moves over and takes me by the arm. I stood up, we look at each other for some moment.
Hair is up in another messy ponytail, she looks tired. They were bags under her eyes and she looks tired, her eyes looks red probably rubbing her eyes for sometime. She looks like she's about to pass out at any time.
You're ready to walk? she asked and I just nod. Chloe holds her hands around mine firm, we walk nice and carefully on the stairs and then we take a break to rest. I was breathing hard and Chloe was yawning. I turn to her, she has that same calm smile on her face. And her blue eyes shining like that day on the rooftop, it makes me smile again.
"Can I ask you something?. Am not sure if am the one talking or it's the alcohol, she opens her eyes then closed it again, she wasn't sure if I was really talking to her she was skeptical to reply me wrongly.
"What did you do to end up here? She freeze, are tired eyes open, she opened her mouth to say something but still nothing and then Hunter another word again.
I think we need to go to your room, we walk the stairs carefully and slowly, we got to my room and she opened the door for me.
"Was it drugs?" I ask. She takes both of us in does not say anything, she walks me to the bed, she tucked me in without saying a word, her face was blank and unreadable.
"Good night Jason, she whispers my name so softly, her voice was stuck in my head, the she walks out and closed the door leaving me alone.
