Jackass: The Next Generation

Tay makes her way down to the bar where the other guys are, still a little flustered from her run-in upstairs. She takes a seat next to Les who has a glass of whiskey in front of him. Adam and Johnny come toward the bar as well and Adam sits on the other side of Les.

"You sure you don't want a drink, Lady?" He asked Tay. Lady was a nickname that they all came up with when they were kids. Since she was always the only girl around.

"Okay maybe just one. But like a fruity one since I don't really like that alcohol taste, unless I'm upset." She added. He snickered a little bit.

"Can I get a Long Island please," Les said to the bartender. Having no idea what that was, Tay just went with it. As the bartender sat it down in from of her, she gave the drink a weird look.

"Just try it Sis!" Les said encouragingly. She lifted it to her lips and tilted it back just enough for her to taste it. She smacked her lips together.

"Hey it's good!" She told Les.

"I hate how you doubt me," he said jokingly. Within a few gulps, her drink had disappeared. She couldn't stop thinking about that Darien guy. He didn't seem like an asshole. He was actually sort of cute.... Oh god stop it Tay, she thought to herself.

Tay is reluctant to see guys in that way. Mainly because when growing up, she was raised by her dad, and 3 older brothers. They were 1, 2, and 3 years older than her. Her dad worked full time as a carpenter and he spent every free moment he had with his kids, and there weren't many free moments for him. When Tay was 1, her mother had abandoned the family. She doesn't really remember her mother at all, but her 2 oldest brothers do, and hate her more and more each day because of it. Tay doesn't really let it effect her because as the saying goes, you can't miss something you never had. Tay met Les and Adam in kindergarten and they have been inseparable ever since. Jack came into the picture soon after when he moved to there school in third grade. To the guys, Tay has always been just one of the guys. But since she was a girl, they came up with many nicknames for her like, Lady, Sis, Tayson, Tay-Dog, and the list could go on for days. But through all her years, she only had her boys, never had a boyfriend. Yes, almost 21 years old and never had a boyfriend. She never really wanted one either. She couldn't imagine getting intimate, or physical at all. She knew she liked boys though. She found movie stars and band members attractive, and she never told anyone this but when she was younger she had the biggest crush on Johnny Knoxville. But, she never wanted anything to do with boys, and they didn't want anything to do with her.

She saw Darien making his way over from the elevators which had interrupted her train of thought. All of a sudden she felt the drink she had just inhaled take effect on her. She started to feel a little dizzy, and could already tell... She was getting a buzz. Darien took the empty seat next to her and she felt a fluttery feeling floating around in her stomach. She didn't know if that was the alcohol or Darien's presence that had this much of an effect on her.

"What's up Miss Taylor?" Darien said dragging out the 'R'.

"Nothing. Just trying to relax after my first stunt attempt." She said, playing with the straw in her empty cup.

"What happened?" He asked. Tay then explained the ironing board/rubber band ambush that had just happened, and showed him the welts on her forearm. Since she was wearing a quarter sleeve shirt, her "&" tattoo was visible on her inner wrist.

"You listen to Of Mice & Men?" He asked, pointing out her tattoo. She was taken off guard by that question.

"Y-yeah. I love them. Do.. You listen to them?" She asked, feeling like a stumbling idiot. But Darien didn't even notice.

"Yeah, I do. They are my favorite band. I was gonna get the same tat, but here," he said, running his pointer finger over his left thumb.

"So, are you excited for filming tomorrow?" Les said, budding himself in to their conversation.

"Yeah! I already have some ide—" Tay was then stopped mid sentence.

"Tay come here really quick," she heard Adam calling her over.

"I'll be right back." She said as she hopped off the barstool and walked over to Adam and Johnny.

"What?" She asked a little irritatedly.

"Whoa, what's your problem Lady?" Adam asked her confused.

"Nothing, what do you want?" She asked again.

"I see you talking to that Darien guy over there," he started. Fuck fuck fuck, he knows, she thought to herself. "Is he being a dick? Because, I don't know. Something about him just screams out 'I'm an Asshole'" he said. She couldn't help but let out a laugh.

"I thought that too, but he seems pretty chill to me, maybe you should try talking to him, get to know him." She explained while leaning against the bar.

"Well it seems like he wants to get to know you," he said raising his eyebrows. Tay's face got hot and her cheeks turned a light shade of pink.

"Don't be gross," is all she said.

"First round of shots is on me!" Johnny yelled to everyone sitting at the bar, everyone cheered. Tay needed to thank him later for getting her out of that conversation. The bartender put out a bunch of shot glasses and started filling them with what Tay guessed was tequila. Since she had never taken a shot before, she tried to watch everyone before she did it herself. But, Johnny reluctantly shoved a glass in her face.

"Cheers to us!" Adam yelled obnoxiously, well Tay though it was obnoxious. Fuck it, she thought as she tossed the drink back. She had to force herself to keep it down, as bad as it didn't want to.

"Damn girl, no chaser?" Johnny said to Tay, obviously not noticing her disgusted facial expressions. She just shrugged her shoulders, not knowing what else to say.

"Another round!" Adam yelled, "Put it on Johnny's tab." He said. Johnny just laughed, but didn't protest. Tay couldn't help but glance over at Darien. He was just sitting at the bar playing with his empty shot glass.

"Hm. So you have a thing for the cousin." Johnny said, sitting down on a stool, still facing Tay. She gave him a dumbfound look.

"I don't like him." She said in her raspy voice.

"It's not like your very subtle with it." He said, leaning in his char and breaking his neck in attempt to mock her. She opened her moth to say something but failed.

"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me," He said patting her on the shoulder. "Now, go get your man!" He said. She just shook her head.

"He is just a friend, a co worker at that." She said. He just nodded, not amused as he took a drink of his whiskey.

"Just skidaddle, lover girl." He said, shooing her away. She just sighed, turned on her heels and headed toward Darien. The seat right next to him was still empty, so she took it. His head snapped up as she sat down.

"Well, hi." He said with a smile. Ugh his smile, she thought to herself.

"Hi. You look like your having the time of your life." She said sarcastically. He scoffed.

"A mother fucking blast." He said. "I'm not much of drinker. Especially with these goons." He said motioning over to the group of Jackasses. Adam and Chris had a row of shots in front of them and kept tossing them back, one after another. Wee Man was dancing on the bar, while Johnny was throwing loose change at him. And Dave was turning into Darf, knocking over the drinks on the bar and trying to lick Preston's face. Tay and Darien couldnt help but laugh at the sight.

"Let's get out of here before Darf makes his way over to us." Darien said, hopping off the stool. Tay followed him, and as they were walking out her phone vibratied in her pocket.

From: Les
Don't let that asshole penetrate you!

She couldn't help but laugh. Darien gave her a weird look, but ignored it.

To: Less
I wont Plus, I don't think he is like that.

She replied quickly, as her and Darien approached the elevators.

"I don't know about you, but I am starving." Tay said as she pushed the UP button.

"Same. Room service and a movie?" He asked as they stepped onto the elevator.

"Well well Mister Darien. Asking me on a date already I see." She said sarcastically.

"Maybe," he said, glancing over at her and flashing a smile. Her heart started to beat a little faster, but ignored it. No guy has ever had this much of an effect on her...and she kind of liked it The elevator ride up to the 6th floor was quiet and it seemed like it was going slow to mock them. When they finally reached their floor, the decided to watch the movie in Tay and Bam's room.

"Do you think he will be sleeping in there though?" Tay asked as she pulled her card key out of her pants pocket. Darien shrugged and shook his head.

"He shouldn't be. He is probably hanging out with Steve since they are both sober now." He explained. Tay nodded and then opened the door. They saw light from a t.v on and both looked at each other in confusion. They quietly made there way to the living room and couldn't help but laugh at what they saw. Steve and Bam were on the couch, covering there eyes as they watched Sinister on DVD. Neither of them noticed that Tay and Darien walked in. So Tay put her hand on the liht switch, flickered it on and popped out from behind the corner. Steve yelled and Bam threw a bowl of popcorn at her. Darien started laughing his ass off.

"Shit," Bam said, holding his chest.

"You almost made me shit myself!" Steve yelled , as he got up and turned the tv off. Tay made her way over to the room service menu next to the microwave. Darien looked over her shoulder to look as well, and his face was dangerously close to hers. She felt her palms get sweaty and the hair on the back of her neck stand up. Darien noticed how her body tensed up when he approached her. He smiled, at the thought, but then shook his head and kept looking at the menu. They ordered a bunch of food and then went to go sit with Steve-O and Bam.

"So what are the other guys doing?" Steve asked as Bam searched the tv for something else to watch.

"Being stupid. We left before Darf got to crazy." Tay said. Bam and Steve laughed.

"Just the fact that Darf is out, is enough to make me leave." Darien said. They all laughed.

---

After the food was eaten and the movie was watched, the only ones awake were Darien and Bam. When Tay fell asleep, Darien had carried her to her bed. But when he set her down, and closed her door, Bam was standing up, with his arms crossed over his chest.

"I know what you are doing." Bam said. Darien gave him a confused look.

"What are you talking about?" Darien asked as he plopped himself down on the couch. Bam scoffed.

"Don't even pull that shit with me kid. Just know, if you hurt her, you have six guys waiting in line to beat your ass." Bam said. Darien shook his head.

"I gotta go." He said before getting up and leaving the room. As he left he felt his phone vibrate. He glanced at the screen to see who the text is from.

From: Izzy

He sighed and just shoved his phone back in his pocket.

As he lied in bed, he could here the other guys stumbling through the halls of the hotel. It sounded like Les and Chris were banging on the walls, but for some reason, his thoughts drifted to Tay. He doesn't know her that well. He knows she is funny and she likes good music, which is a plus. She isn't very girly, but she isn't a cry baby either. He liked her presence, and wouldn't mind her being around for these next few months of filming, he thought while smiling to himself.
