The night is here.
I put on a button up shirt, undone the collar a little and danced around my room.
I call a taxi and get in, I tell him Mark’s address and we get on the way.
We pull up to an already full house and it’s only 7pm, there's music blasting and people are having fun outside the house. I pay the taxi guy and jump out, walking up the drive way I am greeted by everyone outside.
I make my way indoors to find Mark.
“EVAN!” I hear my name yelled from across the room and see Antony try to navigate the full living room. He finally pushes his way through and hugs me, without saying anything he pulls me to the drinks table where Mark is standing.
”Hey Evan, welcome, have a drink.” I pick up a can of cider and pop it open, taking a huge swig.
Mark smiles to me.
I then remember Jack. Where is he? Is he here yet?
I scan the room and can’t see him through the amount of people here, there’s tons of rooms and I bet they’re all filled so finding him is going to be a chore.
I then get my eyes covered and am turned around to a kiss. Emily.
”Who ya looking for?” She asks as I pull he hands away from my face.
“You.” I lie as I kiss her cheek.
She laughs and spins, her very revealing dress.
”Do you like it?” She smirks.
”Of course!” I reply, complimenting her outfit and makeup.
Anthony hands me a shot from over Emily’s shoulder.
“Lets get fucked up!” We all clink our shot glasses and down them.
-Few hours later-
I’ve lost everyone in the crowd and have been partying with other people, Im stumbling my way through the night. I look around the room and my eyes fall on Jack, standing alone, looking overwhelmed.
I rush over to him.
”You lost your gang?” I slur.
”Yeah, you?” He replies.
”Yep!” I excitedly say. An idea springs to my mind and I pull him into an empty room.
”What are we doing in here” He laughs.
”Not sure!” I prop myself up on the side.
“woah dude, you’re super drunk.” He comes over to my side, holding me up. I feel a huge spark and my eyes go wide.
”yeahh” I slur.
”Let me get you home? What is your address?” He asks, worried.
I lean on him, feeling his warmth as I give him my address. He puts me into his car and begins driving me home.
“This is your address right?” He parks out front of my house.
“Yeahhhh it is....” I reply.
“Wow” He laughs. ”Let me get you inside”
He gets out the car and comes round to my side, he props me up and takes me up the stairs to my front door. I give him my keys and he unlocks the doors, quietly and helps me upstairs. I tell him where my room is and he opens the door, and closes the door again.
He gently sets me down on my bed and I feel a rush of guilt as he tucks me in.
“Im so sorry, you didn’t need to do this” I tell him, feeling myself get a little more sober.
”It’s ok, looks like you had a great time” He looks down at me kindly and sits on the edge of my bed.
“I did, why aren’t you drunk?” I ask him.
He shuffles.
“I only just got there....” He trails off.
”Oh god, Oh god I’m so sorry.” I sit up in my bed and look at him.
”It’s really ok, I only came to see you anyway...” He trails off, his eyes go wide as he realised what he just said and slaps his hand over his mouth.
I suddenly had and urge and bend forward, removing his hand from his mouth and giving his hand a kiss. His whole face goes red and I suddenly realised what I just did.
”Oh no, I’m so sorry” I say, sitting back against my headboard.
”No no It’s really alright, It’s alright.” He looks down at his hand and smiles slightly.
He gets up and goes into my on-suite and grabs me and glass of water and takes some paracetamol from his pocket. He sets it down on my bedside table and looks down at me.
”I’m going to leave you to get some sleep, But here’s my number, text me when you feel better.” He leaves my room and I hear him rush downstairs and out my house. I look at my bedside table and feel myself drift off to sleep.
