Not So Jasey Rae.

Wednesday, April 22rd, 2009

Even though Amelia was sick, it didn’t keep her from dressing not only Skylar, but Taylor and Nicole as well. None of them were feeling too hot about their outfits, but, according to the guys, they sure did look it.

Both Zack and Alex’s mouth dropped when Sky came out first.

Then Taylor, she was a natural beauty, and it was all she needed, they knew there would be a special guy waiting for her, someday. But she wouldn’t be going to the club, she had a date.

Jack couldn’t take his eyes off of Nicole when she finally came out.

At last, around eight, Zack, Skylar, Taylor, Jack, Rian, and Nicole left, saying their quick goodbyes to Amelia and Alex, who was refusing to smile. Alex said he would get them if needed.

When they arrived at the newly opened, swarming with people club, Zack took Skylar in his arms, seeing as she was his girlfriend; Jack put his arm around Nicole, he was fighting his feelings, and it wasn’t working. The reason behind the boys’ actions was simple; the bar was new, and everywhere you looked, there were many… older men, some just standing, some dancing with girls half their age. They all had wandering eyes.

When they finally got in, Jack was quick to grab Nicole and bring her to the bar, Rian, Zack, and Skylar following behind. He missed Kara again; she wasn’t able to come, family business. So, Rian wasn’t planning on getting completely wasted, he wasn’t about to do something he would later regret, so he vowed to keep a watch on the others.

The night wasn’t supposed to go wrong.

Amelia and Alex sat on the bed, a bowl on popcorn between them, watching A Nightmare Before Christmas, seeing as Alex wasn’t exactly welcoming to making out with her when she was in this state. Even through that, though, he let her snuggle into his side, he was worried about her. She wasn’t talkative like normal, the only sound coming from her were her deep, shallow breaths. Alex knew it was just a common bug, but still.

“Do you need anything?”

She smiled at him, “Can I have a kiss? One, quick kiss?”

He sighed; “Sure,” He leaned down, quickly pecking her lips. One peck that turned into more. He turned, facing her, a hand on her hip, and another on her neck. Her fingers were tangled into his messy hair, pushing him back again, straddling him.

Soon enough, the popcorn and movie was forgotten.

All was going well, perfect. Rian wasn’t as drunk as he could be, seeing as there was no room for mistakes. He was still a little tipsy though, dancing with a few people, nothing too bad.

Nicole and Jack were having… fun. Dancing in a not-so-innocent way. They flirted the entire time, not leaving each other’s sides.

Zack and Skylar had stayed close to each other the entire night, though still dancing with many other people. Zack was getting kinda out there, while Skylar was staying close to home. It didn’t stop her from having fun, though. She was a party girl at heart.

At one point, Skylar excused herself for some air, becoming claustrophobic in the tight dancing area. Zack followed her out, not trusting any of the guys.

It was then that he got the text message.

He pulled out his phone, looking at the new text. Skylar watched as his face twisted from being tired, to shock, to anger, and to sadness in five seconds flat. She put her hand on his shoulder, to see if he was alright. He turned towards her, his emotions still raging, “I need a ride to the airport, do you think Rian is up for it?”

“Why? What’s wrong? And I don’t think so, he’s a little tipsy.”

He growled, “You’re right, I don’t want him driving like this. Can,” He took a deep breath, as if to calm himself down. “Can you call Alex, tell him to pick me up, and bring my bag, I need to get back to Maryland, soo.”

“Why, what’s wrong?”

“My cousin, Sonia… she’s dying.”

I wanna see your face and know I made it home…
