From Bad to Worse

The guys show up, one after another within about 10 minutes. First it's Matty and Jorel, then George and Jordon, and finally Danny with Rachel.

She's so cute. Her outfit is adorable. Shes wearing a loose half torso T-shirt that is tied in the front, a neon tank yellow underneath, with ripped denim jeans, and white flats. She has a beautiful pearl necklace and white pearl bracelet. And a white headband. She looks great. And...those eyes.....What are you doing Dylan! She's with one of your best friends! Stop thinking like this!

~~~~~~~~

After I snap back to reality, I see all the guys and Rachel sitting in my living room. George, Jordon, Jorel, and Matty all have a beer. Danny and Rachel have a Mike's Hard Lemonade. I grab a beer and sit next to Danny, while Rachel is on his other side.

"This party sucks." Jorel bluntly states, while the others laugh. I roll my eyes.

"I know what will make it better." I walk back head towards my room, but turn in my MP3 player and blast on repeat all of our HU songs. Then i continue to my room, open my drawer, and grab my baggie of joints. I bring them out and everyone starts hooting and hollering. I look over at Rachel...she doesn't seem too excited. Everyone sits in a circle. And Rachel slowly makes her way in, and sits between Danny and Me.

I light it up, take a hit and pass it the other direction, so it goes to Rachel last. George, Jordon and Jorel take long hits while Matty and Danny take small ones. Danny hands it of off to Rachel who looks at it, and passes it to me. I shrug and we make another loop. It gets to her again and she passes it off to me. Danny reaches over and grabs it from me, then hands it back to Rachel. "C'mon, take a hit." He hands it to her. She shakes her head. Him and the others keep egging her on, they are all a little buzzed. Rachel is almost in tears, and hate seeing her like that. Danny almost seems to be angry she won't take a hit. I gotta stop this.

"Danny!..." I yell. There's a silence. "Leave. Her. Alone. She doesn't want to. Stop try to making her!" I snap, irritated and angry, but I said it calmly.

She looks at me with her teary eyes. She then says with a squeal in her voice,
"I gotta get some air..." And runs to my porch.

I follow shortly after while the other are getting blazed. She's sitting there, with her face in her hands, and crying. I hate seeing her like that.
"Please...don't cry Rachel...I don't like seeing you sad...it breaks my heart..." I mumble.
She looks up at me, and then gives me a hug.

Whoa! Wasn't expecting that! I didn't mind it, but what if Danny saw. Oh, fuck Danny, He's an ass for pushing her to do something she obviously didn't want to do.

I return the hug, with a even tighter one.

"Thanks...a lot Dylan..." She says while sniffling.
I kiss her forehead. "No problem, Rachel."

We go back inside and find that all of them are laughing like four year olds. I realize that they have finished the first blunt, and have completed a second, too. Matty and Jorel were actually passed out and the other three were looking at their toes and were laughing. So, me and Rachel go into my room and watch TV.

I sit on the floor in front of the bed and I let her sit on the bed. I start to nod off when I see Rachel's legs fly to my sides. She is sitting at the end of the bed with her legs on both sides of my back. I lean my head up, she looks down, smiles, the returns her purple gaze to the TV. She then begins to run her fingers through my medium length, curly hair. It sends goosebumps throughout my skin.

I nod of again when I suddenly feel hands on the sides of my face. She gently pulls my head back, and kisses me upside down. I freeze from the surprise, but slowly kiss her back. Her lips are so fucking soft! I can't be doing this! Stop yourself now Dylan!

I manage to pull my lips off of hers. Even though I really didn't want to stop. "Rachel...we can't do that. Why did you do that. I mean...it was nice, but your with Danny. I know you love him. Why did you-"

I was interrupted by her. "I'm so sorry, I don't know why I did it! I'm sorry! Please don't tell Danny! I didn't mean to! It was the heat of the moment! Your just much sweeter than Danny! I'm sorry.." She said. With tears in her eyes. She kept saying sorry. She needed to stop apologizing. I hated seeing her so miserable. I gently put my large hands on her small face. She was crying, but it was silent.

"Rachel...your a great girl...and Danny loves you. Me and the boys can see it. He is so happy when he is with you. His eyes light up. You don't notice it, but me and the guys do. Ask any one of them, and they will agree with me. I won't tell Danny. He will never know. It was just a silly kiss. Lies. It didn't mean anything. Liar. You were high, I was high and drunk...it's fine. Oh look, another lie. He'll never know." I say while i coax her. She calmed down and the crying stopped.

We both went in to the living room. Everyone was now passed out. She went and lied down right beside Danny. He threw his arm around her while he was asleep. And he smiled whilst sleeping.

"Hey, I i have an idea..." She said. She slowly got up and his smile disappeared. "How easily can they be woken up after being this stoned?" She asked with an evil smirk. I don't know what she was thinking, but I like it. "We'll, they are probably still high in their sleep, so it would take an earthquake. And maybe not even that will wake them." She whispers her plan to me.

I. Love. This.

We giggle as we put her plan into action. Her and I slowly drag Jorel over to Danny. He, being stoned, throws his hand over Jorel and smiles. We let out squeals from holding in the maniacal laughter. We then drag George to the other side of Danny, who throws his arm over Danny. The best part was the last part. We drag Matty over to Jordon and face them to each other. We put their arms over each other. We run outside and laugh for at least 5 minutes straight. We set up a camera and keep it rolling overnight. We NEED to see there reactions in the morning. I then give her a huge hug.

During the hug she says,"Are they gonna hate us?" And chuckles under her breath."Nah, they are gonna think they did it because they were so stoned!" We both giggle."Ok well, lets get some sleep. Go hit record on the camera." She does.

I walk over to the couch and stare at the 5 men snuggling on the floor.

I'm almost jealous.

Rachel comes over and lies on top of me.

"Rachel...what are you-"..."nothing just laying with my best friend." She interrupts.

"Ok well, at least let me sit and you can lay on my side." I sit up, and she snuggles into my side.

"Goodnight, Rachel." I mumble while drifting off into my dreams. The last thing I hear is, "Goodnight, Dylan...I -"....

I'm asleep.
