Whoever She Is

We entered the house and I felt completely out of place. Sadie grabbed my hand and lead me to the kitchen. We spotted Tim in the kitchen.
“Sadie! Danielle!” Tim yelled as he saw us. He kissed his girlfriend and hugged me. We talked for a second when I heard something behind me
“Dude I don’t know who she is, but she has a hot body”
“Yeah, but what does her face look like?”
“I wonder who invited her”
“Doesn’t matter.You aren’t going to score with her, I can’t even see her face and I call tell she is way out of our leagues” I turned around to face John and Jared
“Hello boys” I smiled
“Danielle? You look different” Jared said. John gave me the look around
“Damn, you should dress like that more often” He laughed
“Whatever. Sadie dressed me” I rolled my eyes
“Let’s get you a drink” Jared said as he lead me to the counter “What’s your poison?”
“Vodka” Jared began mixing a drink and handed it to me
“I hope it isn’t too strong. I poured a little too much. ” I took a sip, and it seemed weak to me
“It’s fine” I smiled and took a gulp. I looked around the room and took in the scenery. People were drunk and grinding on each other, making out, and yelling over the music. So guys came up and started hitting on me. I laughed, shook my head, and walked away. I’m going to need a lot more alcohol to handle this. I gulped my drink down and made me a new drink. This time it was pure vodka with a squeeze of lemon juice. Garrett and Pat stumbled into the kitchen after I finished that cup.
“Daaaaanielle!” Garrett slurred “You look hot” He told me as he hugged me
“Well thank you” I laughed as I made myself another cup of the same drink. I walked into the living room with Pat and Garrett. I danced with them for a couple of songs while I consumed my alcohol. I walked back into the kitchen to make another drink. I could defiantly feel the alcohol in my system. I made my drink and stumbled into the living room. I was bumped into someone. I almost fell over when someone caught me. I looked up to see Kennedy
“Well thank you for saving me from the floor Mr. Brock” I giggled
“You are more than welcome. I would save a pretty girl any day.” he smiled. I sat on the couch with hm and talked. I looked around the room to people watch while I finished my drink. Kennedy had to get Pat off the coffee table, so I took that as my queue for a drink run. I made my next drink and looked around as I sipped it. I saw John standing alone outside through the glass patio door. I walked outside with my cup in my hand
“What are you doing out here by yourself?” I asked John
“Just not really in the party mood I guess” John shrugged looking down at his beer
“Is everything okay?” I asked. He frowned as he looked at me
“I suppose. I don’t see why it wouldn’t be” I frowned as I listened to him.
“John, this is a party. People are happy at parties. Be happy. You are surrounded with your friends and band mates” I said as I put my cup on the patio table
“Your drunk” He laughed
“Nooooo. I’m happy” I smiled idiotically. He laughed and put his arm around my shoulders. I put my head on his chest. We stood there for a while. It was quiet, besides the murmured party sounds. He looked at me directly in the eyes. I thought he was about to say something. So I waited. He didn’t. We stood for a couple more minutes before I looked at him and said “Let’s go back inside. I’m sure everyone is looking for you” I said, I grabbed his hand and lead him to the house
We walked inside and saw his band standing in the kitchen. Jared handed me another drink as we walked over to them. John was still holding my hand and was right beside me. I was thankful because, if he didn’t I probably would have fallen on the way in. We talked for a bit when someone walked over to the group and all I heard as “HALVO!” I looked to see the bagger from the store earlier. He made eye contact and he smiled
“Well hello Ms. Danielle. Fancy running into you twice in one day” he said as he hugged me
“Hi Eric, it’s nice to see you again”
“How do you know Danielle?” Jared asked looking confused
“I met her at the store today.” He explained
“And he was such a gentleman and helped me with my groceries” I told them.
“But how do you guys know her?” Eric asked
“Her dad is dating my mom” Jared told him
We continued talking and drinking. By midnight, I was drunk. The guys wouldn’t let me out of their sight. They didn’t want someone taking ‘advantage over me.’ It pissed me off because I felt like I was being babysat. I was sitting at the kitchen table and laughing hysterically at Garrett’s jokes. Jared walked over to me
“Danielle, I think you’ve hand enough. I don’t need Terry mad at me because I got his daughter drunk off her ass. ” I looked at him
“Yeah, I should go home” I bid my farewells to everyone and stood up to leave. I started stumbling as soon as I started walking. John stood up
“I should head home too. I’ll make sure she gets home” He said looking at Jared. John walked beside me and took my hand. I snatched my hand away
“I don’t need a babysitter O’Callaghan” I slurred
“You need me more than you know.” He laughed
He grabbed my hand and led me to my house. We got to my garage. I looked at him
“My room is upstairs. Will you help me get up there?” I asked
“I thought you didn’t need a babysitter” he smirked
“Don’t use that damn smirk with me. It’s very attractive, but it won’t work on me.” I slurred
“Are you calling me attractive?” he smirked again
I turned around and stubbed to my house. John grabbed my waist and helped me into my house. He walked me to the stairs. I tried walking, but I fell. Next thing I knew, I was being picked up and carried up the stairs bridal stairs.
“It’s the room on the left” I said as I buried my head in his neck and wrapped my arms around him. I heard his breath hitch as I did it. We made it to my room and he put me on my bed.
“Can you hand me some pajamas? They are in the second drawer” I asked as I started undressing. He pulled a t-shirt and a pair of shorts out and handed to me. He turned around when he realized I was getting undressed.
“I’m dressed” I giggled. I climbed into my bed and John turned to leave
“John?” I called
“Yeah Danielle?” he asked as he turned to face me
“I know we aren’t exactly close. But can you please stay with me? I’m home alone and to be honest. I’m freaked out” I admitted biting my lip nervously
“Yeah sure. Do you want me to sleep on the couch?” he asked
“Could you stay up here? It will make me feel better knowing someone is close.”
“If you want. I will.” He said he picked up the blanket on the foot of my bed and started to get in the floor.
“John, you can get in the bed. It’s a king size bed and I don’t have cooties. I would never ask you to sleep in the floor” I laughed
“Okay” He said looking flustered
“There are some guys pajama pants in the bottom dresser if you want to wear them. They were my brothers” He nodded and got the pajama bottoms. He went to the bathroom and changed. He came back with nothing but the pajama pants on. I stared at him for a moment. I realized what I was doing a looked way quickly. He must have noticed, because he chuckled. He climbed into the bed next to me. I turned to face him
“Thank you” I smiled at him
“Your welcome Danielle” he smiled back
