Speak Low If You Speak Love

***ed Up and Crazy

“Okay, so your number 1... And the rest of you are?” Zoë said laughing as she let Jimmy hug her.

“Actually that dumb ass‘s name is Jimmy.” Matt said shaking his head seeing the weird look Coby got when Jimmy hugged Zoë.

“I’m Jerry, this is Tony, and that’s Tobin.”

“Hi…” She turned waiting for the three remaining men to introducing themselves. “Do you have names or are you two, three, and four?”

“How come Rev gets to be one? I wanna be one…” The green eyed man said whining.

“Because Vengeance I’m cooler and I said it first.”

“Shut up Rev… and quit acting like a child…”

“But… Syn… I’m having fun…” Jimmy was bouncing up and down and excitedly at having found a new friend.

“I’m lost… those aren’t your real names are they?” Zoë asked. Paige smirked and rolled her eyes.

“Zoë, meet Avenged Sevenfold” Jerry said laughing at the obvious confusion on the blondes face.

“Who?” She asked and sat down beside Jacoby at the table and placed her head on her arms, trying to block out and ignore the loud music blasting around them. She was not a big fan of this particular type of music. When she listened to it she listened to Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, and Christina Aguilera.

“You’ve never heard of Avenged Sevenfold…” Jimmy asked faking innocent shock and obviously trying not to laugh.

“No…do I even wanna know?”

“They’re a rock band. From Huntington Beach…” Tobin said.

“Hey we’re also standing right here… wow Paige… you mean to tell us she doesn’t listen to…”

“I listen to three artists that’s about it… I don’t have time for music…” She was cut off as Jimmy put a beer in her hand.

“Drink Z”

“Thanks One.”

“SEE NO FAIR” Zack said and that once again had Jimmy laughing.

“Not my fault he’s quicker than you Zack.” Matt said as Zack glanced towards Matt for help. Coby, shook his head and rolled his eyes as four girls headed their way. He saw something a second later in Brian’s eyes. The brunette that was walking towards him had a grin on her face and despite the semi exotic name of Destinee she was dressed in a simple pair of jeans and a turquoise wife beater and sneakers. Her hair was up in a messy knot on her head. The other dark haired girl beside her was Andrea Matt’s baby sister and Matt was shaking his head at her attire. Low rise shorts, sneakers, and a baby blue wife beater with a death bat on it. She was the only one of the girls that wore that stuff in public with them because she was Matt’s baby sister. Coby noticed that Zack downed the shot that Jerry had just ordered them all and then a beer. He only hoped the man didn’t get sick.

Aly smiled as she walked into Johnny’s arms and he placed a kiss to her forehead. They had only been together for three months and she was so shy that it made him smile. She was the one that he had discovered he could trust and he was willing to make it work with her, even though she met him all the way with any decisions that they made together. According to the guys Aly was perfect for him. Jimmy saw murder however in his wife’s eyes as she saw the arm that Jimmy had draped over the blonde that she obviously didn’t know. Jimmy jumped up and grinned. He ran to Blaire and lifted her up spinning her around in a circle before kissing her. He sat her down and smirked at her.

“How much have you had?”

“I’ve only had a few beers…”

“I meant sugar idiot.”

“Uhm… I dunno… MATT GAVE IT TO ME!!!” Jimmy said.

“Wow Paige, they are crazy aren’t they?”

“Zoë… you ain’t seen nothing yet… and there they go… HEY BRI KEEP IT CLEAN TONIGHT SERIOUSLY” Paige called after the couple as Destinee took her boyfriends hand and lead him to the dance floor as the tempo switched and Toxic by Britney Spears began playing. She shook her head as Brian gripped her friends hips and pulled her against him. She grinned a moment later when matt whispered in her ear.

“Remember when we were like that?”

“We still would be but you had to knock me up.” Paige said turning in his arms. He placed his lips on hers.

“So ignoring them… Blaire this is Zoe, Paige’s cousin”

“Oh…”

“Hi…” Zoë said not sure what to say.

“Ohhh Yay then your practically family…I’m Andrea, Andi for short, I’m Matt’s baby sister.” Zoë’s eyebrow shot up when she saw Zack take the two abandoned shots that were Destinee and Brian’s and down them one after the other. She pretended not to notice. She sighed. She really wanted out of here. There were way too many people and she had managed to catch all their names.

“Hey Z, you wanna get outta here? You look ready to vomit.” Zack yelled across the table at her. She looked up at him and shrugged.

“Sure, uhm… are you gonna be able to drive? Or do you need me to drive you home…?” It was an innocent question on her part. He didn’t answer just tossed Matt his keys and Coby watched the two of them leave. They all knew nothing was going to happen because Zoë was way too damn sober, but for some reason Coby wanted it to be him that she left with.
