The party at the old manor house that night was psychotic. Left and right there were friends of Julia's as well as mutual friends of hers and Kay's. The second story of the house had been blocked off to ensure that everyone stayed downstairs. In one room there were guests enjoying snacks and cake. In the kitchen several guys were having drinking contests from beer to shots. Julia was with a group of friends dancing in the ballroom. Her own behavior clearly showed that she was buzzing, and the drink in her hand said she wasn't stopping yet.
"Hey Julia," one of her friends shouted," Let's go have a cigarette!"
Julia took hold of her friends hand and followed her clumsily out to the large balcony.
"O man my ears are ringing," Julia slurred as she downed the last of her drink," Hey Brit, can I bum one of those from you?"
"Haha you don't have to ask dude, especially given how many I bummed from you."
Brit lit two cigarettes at the same time and handed one to Julia. They looked out over the grounds of the large property.
"O shit," Brit said," There goes Trina with yet another victim."
Julia looked to see a girl dressed up in a slutty Superman outfit pull a zombie into the bushes. She and Brit burst out laughing. That particular area had been avoided by the other guests since Trina had arrived because once she was past a buzz, every male in her line of vision was subject to her arousal.
"Aw look, there's your sister," Brit pointed under a large tree ," looks like her and brandon are getting together."
And indeed it seemed that way as Brandon, who was dressed as a vampire pulled Kay close and the two began making out.
"Aw I hope they will be happy together," Julia said as she took a drag from her cigarette.
"What ever happened to that guy you were with?"
"Pff," Julia snorted," I dumped him a month ago."
"What happened?"
"He was clingy as hell, and he was blowing up my phone all day and night having to update me about stupid shit that I don't care about. On top of that he is a drama queen and on top of that he spells like a fucking third grader. I couldn't take it anymore."
"Wow," Brit laughed," Well I guess it's best for your sanity."
"Mmm," Julia said as she flicked her cigarette away.
The doors to the balcony suddenly burst open and several people flooded out the doors, surrounding Julia.
"Hello," one of the guys said," the party is in there, and the birthday girl is out here. This just doesn't work."
Without another word the crowd started whooping and yelling as they pulled Julia inside and shoved another drink in her hand. They formed a large circle and started dancing and grinding. After a while Kay and Brandon came in and joined in the circle. The rest of the night started to become a blur, and Julia was only aware of flashes of the night. Kay and Brandon had disappeared again. Julia was stumbling all over the place as she tried to dance...she was outside smoking lord knows how many cigarettes...she was making out with someone who's face she could not see because her head would not look up...she somehow ended up out by the gardens...her head was sore and she was laying on the ground at the foot of the steps...
The last guest was leaving the manor in a cab that Kay had called. She had taken and hidden everyone's car keys as they arrived.
"They can return in the morning for their cars," she had said to her sister.
Kay and Julia went stumbling across the lawn laughing and falling down for no reason.
"Oh my god dude," Julia said as she rolled on the ground," I'm so damn trashed."
"Oooo I'm gonna be feelin this in the morning."
"I think I hit my head on something. It already hurts haha."
They got up clumsily and looked around them.
"Dude," Kay said," where did the house go haha."
"O god I have no clue. I'm too far gone right now."
They started walking across the lawn towards the boundaries of the property, both failing to notice that their intended destination was right behind them. The sisters reached the grove of trees just as their bodies shut down from the alcohol. They laid next to each other, Julia mumbling incoherently to herself while Kay watched the stars and trees and everything else spin around her.
"O man," Julia rolled over," I'm gonna puke."
She crawled away quickly into a clump of bushes and vomited by the roots of another tree. When she was done she crawled back to where she thought she just was. She didn't even notice that Kay was gone.
"Thanks," for the party sis," She slurred," I had so much fun."
She didn't wait for an answer but let herself flop to the ground where she immediately passed out.
