Wild Night

I sat alone. My head hung low. The loud noise of the party was just on the other side of the bus. I took a deep breath. It was a weird thought to know all that chaos was going on just around the corner and here I am in peace. The cigarette smoke rose in the air. Silently disappearing into nothing. I shook my head.

Matt: there you are.

My head snapped up. I only made out his silhouette. Its all I needed really.

Melly: here I am. Your turn to hide and I go seek.

Matt: what are you doing over here isn't your domain on the otherside?

Melly: I'm not feelin' it tonight.

I took a drag.

Matt: what's wrong?

Melly: I've got some shit on my mind.

Matt: your conscious finally catching up with you?

He teased.

Melly: don't all of you wish.

Matt: I don't.

Melly: I'm sure.

I exhaled smoke.

Matt: so what's going on in that never ending vortex that is your mind.

Melly: I'm not even sure.

Matt: are you high?

Melly: not yet.

I smiled a little.

Matt: are you bummed out?

Melly: I'm not sure what I'm feeling.

I shrugged.

Matt: something major has to be going on if you're just not feelin' a party. Did someone say something?

Melly: naw love no one said anything.

Matt: do something?

Melly: no.

Matt: was it one of the guys? Brian? One of the girls?

Melly: no Matt. I'm just thinking. I do have human qualities in this party animal body of mine.

Matt: did I do something?

I flicked the ashes on the cig.

Melly: you could never really do anything to upset me or anyone at that fact.

He didn't say anything but I knew he was trying to think of something to say.

Melly: I'm fine.

Matt: its just weird to see you out of your element I guess. Everytime I look for you I can't find you.

Melly: I'm a hard girl to keep track of.

We sat in what started to feel like awkward silence. He sighed.

Melly: what's on your mind love?

Matt: Val.

Ofcourse she is.

Melly: I don't want to hear it then.

Matt: that's alright. No one ever does.

Melly: cause she's a bitch.

Matt: no she's not.

Melly: not like Michelle in a different way.

Matt: I thought you liked Val.

I laughed.

Melly: give me a fuckin' break Matthew.

Matt: I thought you two got along.

Melly: I'm just a good a faker as she is Matt.

I rolled my eyes.

Melly: I do it for your sake.

I walked off into the party.

Matt: what do you mean by that?

Melly: figure it out. Brian give me a cig.

Brian: what the fuck? Where did you come from?

He handed me a smoke.

Melly: your aunties vagina. Where's your cunt? I mean girlfriend.

He made a face.

Brian: you know she didn't come.

Melly: just making sure. And Jenn?

Brian: I don't know.

He said somewhat defensivley.

Melly: right.

Matt: Melly.

Melly: Matthew go fuck your girlfriend up the ass all night long. Let her put your balls in her mouth and leave me be.

Brian: sometimes I wonder how you were born a chick.

Melly: and I'm always wondering when you're going to leave Michelle. But its a mystery. Now if you don't mind I've got to find Zacky and Johnny.

Brian: what for?

Melly: unlike you two they act their age.

Matt: you mean like eighteen year olds who are trying to prove they're all grown up by getting so wasted every night they wake up-

Melly: blah blah love. I've heard it all before tell me something new.

The smoke dangled in my lips.

Matt: you're a slut.

Brian: don't call my cousin a slut.

Melly: OoOoOo that bothers me so much. So what I'm a slut, girls like me used to make you, you.

I blew smoke out from the corner of my mouth.

Matt: you need to grow up.

Melly: you're just pissed because I said I didn't like you're innocent precious little perfect princess Valarie. So fucking what. Atleast I can admit what I feel. Now if you don't mind I owe Zacky a smoke,

I took another cigarette from Brian.

Melly: and Johnny a blow job.

I walked off again. My head snapping to the side woke me up. I blinked a few times clearing the grogginess from my eyes. No pants. Sweet. In a bathroom. Even better. I used the toilet to help me get up. I looked in the mirrior. Hot mess. My hair looked like a rat lived in it. My eyeliner and mascera was smeared passed my eyebrows. Something white was on the front of my black tank top. Which by the way one of the straps was ripped. And my back hurt. I look fucking fabulous. I smiled happily and walked out. Atleast I'm on the guys' bus. I tiptoed to the bunks. Jenns arm was hanging out of a bunk. I knew it was hers by the way it was bent. She's got weird freaky arms. That and her fingers still loosely held a bottle of vodki. Now to find pants or something. Quietly as possible I searched. I was in one of the boys' bags. Cause it was full of big jeans.

Melly: fuck it.

I walked up to the front as is. J.B., Jimmy, Matt, and Brian were up there.

J.B: you know I never get tiered of seeing you like that.

Melly: where's the cute one of you two?

J.B: ask Jenn.

I smirked and grabbed a bottle of water.

Brian: couldn't you have found some pants?

Melly: tried without success.

Brian: we see that.

I shrugged and drank some water.

Matt: Melly what's on your shirt?

Melly: somebodies cum I think.

I scratched my butt.

Melly: dude my back hurts. Can you check it Brian?

Brian: come here.

I went over and faced my back towards him.

Brian: somebody fucked you good Melly.

Melly: what?

Brian: you've got bruises on your back.

Jimmy: she must have been the one being fucked in the bathroom.

Melly: I don't remember.

J.B: ofcourse you wouldn't remember.

Melly: huh. I want to watch a movie.

I took a seat and sat cross legged.

Jimmy: Melly have you gotten those pictures developed?

Melly: Val said she was going to do it for me. Not sure why. Dude my vajay kinda hurts.

Brian: a little more than I need to know but ok.

Melly: whatever Brian I think you scarred me for life with your sexcapade stories.

Brian: ahh those days were fun.

Melly: Brian let's go have a smoke.

I grabbed his hand we went outside. He lit us up both smokes.

Brian: how you holdin' up?

Melly: fine?

Brian: you look tiered.

Melly: so do you.

Brian: you're going to wear yourself out Melly.

Melly: advice coming from the guy who taught me how to party.

He grinned.

Brian: pace yourself is all.

Melly: I don't know the meaning of taking it slow. My back proves that.

Brian: you can still be you without the excess.

Melly: oh shit not this again.

Brian: I'm sorry but I really think you have a problem.

Melly: whatever.

Brian: and I'm not talking about the drinking and getting high and shit. I do that too. I'm talking about you doing it to cover something else.

Melly: I've nothing to hide Dr. Phil.

Brian: I think you do.

Melly: I think this topic is fucking done.

The bus door flew open. Jenn came walking out wearing some dark sunglasses. She just stared at us.

Jenn: where are your pants?

She was monotone.

Melly: dunno.

Jenn: cool.

She had no emotion what so ever.

Melly: how was the Berry?

Jenn: can't remember nor do I care.

Melly: right on.

Jenn: you know who I don't like.

Brian: who?

Jenn: at the moment Matt is pissing me off.

Melly: why?

Jenn: he won't leave me alone. He's always asking me some stupid question that I'm never listening to cause I don't give a flying shit.

Brian: which Matt?

Jenn: Sanders. What an asshole.

Melly: what did he ask you?

I handed her my smoke and she took a drag.

Jenn: something or other something or other.

Melly: fuck I hate questions like that.

Jenn: its stupid and a waste of my time.

Melly: fucking retarded.

Jenn: if he has questions he should ask his girlfriend that's what she's for. I'm not here to answer his lifes questions.

She handed me the smoke back.

Melly: she's not good for much more anyway.

Brian: do you two listen to yourselves?

Melly: no.

Jenn: fuck you Brian.

She smiled a little. He shook his head chuckling a bit.

Val: hey guys.

Jenn: can you tell your boyfriend to get off my fucking nuts.

Val: what's he doing?

Jenn: asking me shit.

Val: like what?

She shrugged.

Jenn: not sure but its annoying as fuck.

Val: ok...sure.

She shook her head a bit exchanging a look with Brian.

Val: hate to be a pain in the ass but you mind putting pants on and getting ready I need you two to set up the merch stand.

Jenn: have the Berrys do it. I'm fucking tiered.

Melly: don't worry Val we'll do it.

Val: thanks Melly.
