Chapter 45

The entire drive to the party Sara kept staring at me. I just watched the road and kept driving. After a few minutes of not looking at her she leaned over the center console and started kissing my neck. As she kept kissing me I felt her hand slip in between my thighs and ends up swerving the car, and her head banged against mine.

"Babe what's gotten into you? Did you pregame while I was asleep and not tell me?" I asked laughing.

"No I didn't. I just love you." She hummed against my neck.

"Okay." I said cocking an eyebrow at her.

After a while Sara sat back in her seat and limited the PDA to just holding my hand. As I pulled up to Kristinas it reminded me of the night I had to pick up Kris. There were cars all the way up and down the street. I decided to park on the next street over, just in case something happened at the party and we needed a quick getaway. As we walked up to the house I could tell it was already getting crazy. There were two kids passed out on the grass and another guy was taking a leak in the bushes. This was going to be terrible, but Sara was laughing at the guy. How bad could this be right? As soon as I walked in I saw Kara and Ollie in the kitchen. Sara noticed them too and started waving.

"Damn what took you guys so long?" Ollie asked giving me a wink. We all just laughed as I shoved him a bit.

"Someone fell asleep." Sara said nodding at me.

"Well someone wasn't even ready until 12." I retorted.

"Shut up." Sara said playfully.

"Well I need a drink." Kara said laughing.

"Ooh me too." Sara said raising her hand in the air, so Kara and Sara were off to get a drink.

"So how did Sara get you here?" Ollie asked nudging my shoulder.

"She promised we'd leave as soon as I wanted." I said as some guy with a red solo cup ran into me.

"I want to leave already." I rolled my eyes. Ollie just laughed. A minute or two later the girls game back with two drinks. One in each of their hands.

"Here you go babe." Kara said handing Ollie his drink.

"I brought you a coke Ave." Sara said handing me a cup.

"Cheers." Ollie said as we all clanked our cups.

After a couple of minutes Sophie ended up finding us still sitting around in the kitchen. For some reason I pulled Sara in closer to me. Ollie, Sara and Kara had already had 2 drinks each. Why I was keeping track I don't know.

"Oh my god Saraaa where the fuck have you been?" Sophie slurred. She was drunk, or very close to it.

"We just got here like 30 minutes ago. What have you been up to?" Sara asked back giving her a hug. My finger was hooked in her belt loop.

"Oh I was playing beer pong with one of your friends. Umm uhh something with a k." She said trying so hard to remember.

"Kristina?" Kara asked confused. I was too because Kristina never drank at her own parties. Everyone knew that.

"No the other one. The one that plays on your team." I rolled my eyes.

"You mean Kris?" I asked annoyed.

"Yes that one." Sophie said with big hand gestures.

"Where is she?" I asked

"She's outside in the back yard still." She said pointing in some directions. I leaned into Sara and said

"I'm going to go check on Kris. You gonna stay here?"

"Yeah I'll stay with Ollie and Kara." She said. I just nodded.

"I'll be right back." I shouted to our little group. As I walked by Ollie I said

"Keep an eye on Sara for me." Ollie just gave me a little salute.

As I waded through the crowd of people I was already worrying about Kris. I tripped over about three people and there were even some guys from a different school whistling at me. I wanted to punch them, but I just kept walking. When I finally made it outside I saw a beer pong table to the left and a fire place with a bunch of people around it to the right. I made my way over to the table and looked for Kris. Of all people I saw Ana standing around it. I rolled my eyes again. Why was it always her I found. Whatever. I just walked over to her. When she saw me coming she said

"Hiiiii." And gave me a hug. It took me by surprise so I kept my arms down. It was awkward.

"Have you seen Kris?" I asked after she finally let go.

"You are always looking for her. Mack was right you are like a little puppy dog." She said laughing and then taking a swig out of whatever was in her cup.

"Do you know where she is or not?" I asked again.

"I think she's over there by the fire." She said then turned her attention back to the guys who were still playing beer pong. I walked over to the fire and coughed on smoke. It was more than just smoke from the flames. Sitting around the fire was Kristina and some guy and a couple more couples. One was making out. Gross. Behind the couple making out I finally saw Kris leaning up against the fence talking to Mack. What the fuck was she doing here? I could see a drink in both of their hands. As I looked closer I could see that Kris was leaning up against the fence for support. She was drunk. Mack probably was too. As I walked up closer Kris saw me and started waving. Then she said to me the same thing every other drunk girl has said to me tonight.

"Oh my god Ave your hereeee." As she said this she stumbled towards me and gave me a hug. Mack was just eyeing me.

"Hi Mack." I said after Kris let go. She just gave me a little wave.

"Kris you good?" I asked.

"She's fine." Mack answered.

"I wasn't talking to you." I hissed at her. Kris just gave me a pleading look.

"I'm fine Avery. I promise." I looked over her shoulder at Mack then back at her.

"I'll be inside. Just call me if you need me. I'll drive you home." I said.

"Macks gonna take me. But I'll text you later." She said turning back to Mack. I swear if I rolled my eyes one more time they were going to get stuck in the back of my head. I waded through the crowd to try and make my way back to the kitchen. When I finally did I saw Ollie and Kara leaning up against the counter making out. Sara and Sophie were no where to be found. I pulled Ollie by the arm so he was facing me.

"What the fuck." He started until he realized it was me. "Oh hi Ave." he smiled. Kara just looked at me over his shoulder then took a drink.

"Where's Sara?" I asked trying not to take my annoyance out on him.

"I think her and Sophie went upstairs to the bathroom." He said. My eyes were officially stuck in the back of my head. I started to walk off and Ollie just went back to making out with Kara. So much for making it special. When I got up the stairs walked to the bathroom and knocked on the door.

"Hold on." I heard Sophie say after some rustling around. At that I opened the door and saw Sara sitting on the counter with her shirt off and in Sophies hand.

"What the fuck?" I practically yelled as Sophie started laughing. I was about to kick her ass but Sara jumped down from the counter kind of off balance and held me by the shoulders.

"Its not what you think Avery." She slurred just the slightest.

"Then what is it like?" I asked pissed.

"We were in the kitchen with Ollie and Kara when some asshole spilled his drink on me. Sophie was just tryin to help me clean it. So calm down." She said pulling me in and resting her head on my shoulder.

"Calm down Avery. I'm not even gay so you've got nothing to worry about. I like dick." Sophie laughed as she sat down on the edge of the tub with Saras shirt still in her hand. This would have been nice to know about two weeks ago when she first came around. But whatever.

"Come on. We can borrow one of Kristinas shirt. I'm sure she won't mind." I said while putting a towel over Saras shoulders. Before I left the bathroom I turned back to Sophie and said

"Sorry." Then I walked out. I led a stumbling Sara to Kristinas room, luckily there was no one in it. I turned the lights on and sat Sara down on the bed. I text Kristina that Sara needed to borrow a shirt. She said I could just grab one out of her closet. I opened the closet and looked for a t-shirt. Behind me Sara mumbled

"Baby are you mad at me?" She asked pouting.

"No I'm not mad. Well not at you." I said honestly.

"Did you find Kris?" She asked

"Yeah she was with Mack." I said shortly.

"What?" She gasped. "What did she tell you? I'll kick her ass." She said raising her fists in the air. I just laughed. I pulled out a t-shirt and walked over to Sara.

"Calm down there, Rocky." I laughed while slipping the shirt on her. I sat down on the bed next to Sara.

"Babe." She said.

"Yeah?" I asked

"Lets go home already. I know you wanted to leave over an hour ago." She said resting her head on my shoulder again.

"You sure?" I asked

"Yeah I'm sure. Plus I'm already drunk. I just want to go to sleep." At this she closed her eyes; her head rolling forward a bit.

"Come on baby girl. I'll take you home." I said picking her up.

"Okay." She yawned. With that we left. When we got back in the car I texted Kris telling her I was leaving. I didn't get an answer. I was trusting that Mack would get her home safe. But I still text Mack "You better get her home safe." She just sent me back a "K". After that text Ollie asking where he was. He just said that his friend Jake was taking him and Kara back to his house and that Jake was sober. Everyone was okay for now. I looked at Sara, who was already asleep in the passengers sleep, and headed home. Parties suck.
