Wild Night

I looked around my surroundings. Wiping the night of drinking from my face I sat up. Bottle in my hand as always. I took a swig.

Matt: well that's a way to wake up.

I looked at him. He was sitting on the couch thing.

Melly: where are we?

Matt: not our bus that's for sure.

Melly: fabulous.

I got rid of the bottle. He held his hand out for me.

Matt: Val is going to kill me.

Melly: why?

Matt: being out all night.

Melly: so? What did she expect we'd have tea and cupcakes then go back to the bus?

Matt: not all of us can party our life away.

Melly: I'm not partying my life away.

Matt: how you feeling?

Melly: fine.

Actually my head was pounding and my stomach was doing flips.

Melly: I'm thirsty.

Matt: yeah me too.

Melly: let's find everyone.

I stepped on the random bodies and body parts in my way. Earning grunts and bitch.

Melly: maybe they're outside.

Matt: I hope.

We made our way. I blocked the sun.

Melly: ugh sun.

Matt: I don't see them.

Melly: whatever let's go back to the bus.

Matt: we have to find them.

Melly: fine you stay here and I'll go back to the bus.

Matt: I can't let you wonder around in the state you're in.

Melly: I'm not in any state.

I wobbled a bit. He gave me a look.

Melly: how many a early morning I walked home without you by my side. Worse than I am now. Half naked even.

He shook his head.

Matt: you amaze me.

Melly: I don't see why? In your eyes I'm just a little girl who thinks she knows everything and is wasting her life. Sorry I'm not trying to go to college or something stupid.

Matt: that's not what I think of you.

Melly: please. Plus if anything you amaze me.

Matt: I didn't think anything could amaze you.

Melly: most things don't. But you aren't just anything are you.

Matt: I'm just Matt.

Now I shook my head. A small smile on my face.

Melly: I'm just a little girl in your eyes Matthew a little girl.

He stared at me and I stared back.

Melly: you know what, just fuck it.

I opened the bus door. Everyones eyes were on me and Matt.

Melly: good morning.

Val looked between the two of us.

Melly: don't worry darling he's fine. He hasn't been touched.

Brian: where were you guys?

Melly: it seems our good friends left us behind. Thanks.

I took a seat.

Mich: you look like shit and smell.

Melly: that tends to happen when you drink into the morning and pass out.

Jenn: huh wonder what her excuse is?

Mich: who even invited you bitch.

Jenn: that's the difference between me and you. I don't need invitations.

Melly: Michelle back off.

Mich: make me.

Melly: what are you twelve?

I rolled my eyes.

Melly: Michelle please just leave me alone for five minutes. Better yet if you don't talk to me, I won't talk to you.

Mich: fine by me.

Melly: good. Val why the fuck are you fucking staring at me like that?

Val: why were you and Matt the only ones that didn't make it back last night?

Matt: really Val?

Melly: you mean this morning?

Val: whatever.

Melly: do you really think I'd touch him? I've more class than that. Plus we still got here in the morning, just a little later than everyone else.

She looked at Matt. I stood up.

Melly: look Val I've no reason to lie to you. If I ever fucked him, I would tell you to your face. I've nothing to hide. He would never cheat on you anyways. He's more up tight than an untouched pussy.

Mich: foul.

Melly: no no Michelle. Don't forget our deal.

She sighed dramatically and crossed her arms.

Jimmy: you talk worse than a pissed off sailor.

Melly: and I fuck better than one too.

A few laughs escaped. I looked back at Val.

Melly: untouched as I said Val.

I said sincerely.

Val: sorry Melly. I just...

Melly: its cool I know you and your fuckin' sister think I'm some kind of slut.

Val: no-

Melly: its cool. I'm not offended.

I smiled.

Melly: what's the first order of business?

Val: same as yesterday.

She said uneasily.

Melly: right on.

I stretched.

Val: what's that?

Melly: what?

She pointed at my stomach. I lifted my shirt.

Melly: apparently Mr. Vengeance inserted here. Huh guess I am a slut.

Zacky: did we?

Melly: sure? Whatever.

I shrugged. Michelle just gave me a disgusted look.

Melly: before you came around Brian used to be the same way. Where do you think I learned everything.

She glared at my cousin.

Melly: come on he's in a band you didn't seriously think he's some kind of angel. You've known him long enough to know that's not true. Come on Jenn let's go see if there's even any shirts left to sell.

Jenn: with pleasure. Its stuffy in here anyway.

Mich: don't you plan on bathing?

Melly: eventually.

She cringed and I smiled. Outside the heat had started.

Jenn: anything happen?

Melly: I've got all my clothes so no. Well the whole Zacky thing but I can't remember to be honest. So I'll just have to wait and see.

Jenn: I meant with...

Melly: ofcourse nothing happened. Not even being blacked out would keep me from remembering him.

Jenn: your cousin.

She smirked.

Jenn: does well hiding shit you know.

Melly: that so?

She nodded. I scratched my ass.

Jenn: that's all I'm saying.

Melly: its all I need to be told.

Val: Melly.

Melly: yes love.

I kept working on the shirts.

Val: can I talk to you?

Melly: if its about earlier you can walk your pretty little face back into the fuckin' bus.

I stood up straight.

Melly: cause I've already explained myself.

Val: no its not that.

I looked at Jenn and rolled my eyes.

Val: please.

Melly: fine but if you bring that shit up with me I will walk away.

We walked around the bus.

Val: sorry.

Melly: what did I fuckin' say Val?

Val: I should know better.

I started to walk away but she grabbed my arm. Her touch was light.

Melly: I don't care what you think Val. Not to be rude. But apologies have never meant much to me.

She sighed. I walked back. Johnny stood facing away from me. Talking to Jenn. I slapped his ass. He jumped and looked around qucikly. I rested my chin on his shoulder and smiled. My arms going around his middle.

Melly: morning handsome.

I flicked his lips with my tongue. Jenn gave me a look.

Johnny: umm...hey...good morning.

I laughed a bit.

Melly: you're not that much older than me.

Johnny: ok.

Jenn: you're scarying the poor kid.

Melly: he should be terrorfied.

Johnny: right now I am a little.

Melly: you look a little stoned.

I smiled widely.

Melly: are you holding out on me and Jenn?

He just looked at me.

Melly: fine don't tell me. I'll find out eventually.

I kissed his lips and let him go. Jenn smiled at me.

Jenn: ha look at him. Confused as fuck.

Melly: he's stoned.

Jenn: oh yeah. I can taste it.

Brian: you two stop picking on Johnny.

Melly: you ruin all the fun.

Matt: where's Val?

Val: right here.

She smiled.

Matt: let's go walk around.

Val: ok.

Melly: have fun sucking his dick...I would.

I said the last part extra quiet. Jenn always manages to catch my worst thoughts.

Jenn: and you would love every thrusting moment of it.

She's worse. We laughed.

Brian: Johnny you'll get used to these two eventually.

Melly: I like him.

Brian: why?

Melly: he let me-

Brian: stop. Just stop.

Melly: its not bad. He let me hug him.

Brian shook his head.

Melly: oh Brian stop being such a negative Nancy. Let's go for a walk.

I linked an arm with him.

Melly: please.

He smiled.

Brian: fine.

Melly: Jenn want to come?

She perked a brow and smiled.

Jenn: not with you around.

I shook my head.

Melly: Johnny?

He looked me over.

Johnny: I might catch up with you two later.

Melly: fine then. Let's go.

Brian: did Val talk to you?

Melly: you know she did.

Brian: let me guess you walked away.

Melly: very good. That guy is mildly attractive.

I commented on some random guy standing around.

Brian: what did she say?

Melly: sorry or tried anyway. But you knew that.

Brian: I did.

Melly: I had fun at the party last night.

Brian: do you even remember it?

Melly: I will when I develop these pictures.

Brian: where did you get that?

Melly: I found it.

Brian: you mean randomly picked it up?

Melly: you make it sound like I steal. I always give back the things I borrow.

He smiled.

Melly: aren't you curious as to what was captured?

Brian: I don't know...
