Party/ Sugars Mansion
Marley's POV
Wow! I've never been to a house this huge before. There must be 12 rooms and...omg there's 3 DJ's spread out through the house. Music, booze and underage kids fill up this whole place. Kitty gave her car keys to the butler, just so there won't be any drunk teens driving I just hope she won't get too drunk because she's my ride home after all. It took kitty and me a little while to find Jake, Blaine, Britt, Sam, Tina and Artie all with red solo cups filled with alcohol. I wished unique was here but she rather give everyone, especially Ryder some space. Speaking of Ryder I haven't seen him yet. Good to know kitty's advice is working Jake hasn't been able to stop telling me how hot I look. I even made some kids from school think I was a new kid at the party, I guess I really transformed. The compliments Jake's been giving me along with everyone else's and my drink is losing me up. I'm not as gone as everyone else. Kitty is pretty buzzed and all she wants to do is go find Ryder to dance with and probably make out. Speaking of Ryder were can he be? I know he showed up with Jake...
Kitty: Jake! Where's Ryder!?
Jake: I don't know. Somewhere here
Ay! Man. Don't look at my girlfriend like that. I'll beat the shit out of you!
Marley: Jake!? Jake!? Look at me. I think you're having a little too much. How bout we go help out Kitty find Ryder ok?!
Ryder's POV
I've been to sugars house before since her dad and my dad know each other from back in college I think they were in the same frat. Or something.
I'll text Marissa and she if she's here already.
Ryder's Text messages
Ryder: wher u at?
Marissa: I'm on the second floor.
I spotted Marissa and sneak up behind her to scare her just a little bit.
Ryder: hey!
Marissa: you found me! {Blushing} I've been looking for you but this place is just ginormous.
Ryder: Oh you have! Yeah this place is huge. You look good btw {winked at her}
Marissa: Thank you! Don't look so shabby if I may say so myself. Omg I love this song! Wanna dance?
Ryder: lead the way! {putting both of their cups on the table stand near by} {Marissa taking Ryder's hand and putting it over her head dancing seducefully as they make way to the dance floor}
Ryder's POV
Marissa is pretty hot! She looks good in that white dress she's wearing. The way she's staring in my eyes I know I'm going to close tonight! The alcohol is defiantly helping to, I'm buzzing, and having a good time, confidence is up. Nothing can or better bring me down tonight is the night.
Marley: Jake what is Ryder wearing? Maybe that'll help us find him better in the pretty much dark mansion/house.
Jake: uhh! Clothes. {he laughing pretty drunkenly}
Marley POV
I see sugar walking away from the dance floor with some random guy from school. Meanwhile Kitty's in the long line to go to the restroom with Tina.
Marley: hey! Sugar have you seen Ryder?
Marley's POV
Why am I really helping Kitty find Ryder? When we find him he probably doesn't even wanna look or even talk to me anymore. I don't know why but I just want to know or see how he's doing. Jake is one more cup from fighting anyone who looks at me up and down. I bet Ryder isn't the drunk type like Jake is. Ugh! This is a real turn off.
Sugar: oh hey girl! Umm yeah he's over there dancing with Marissa {winking at Marley like she's indicating that Ryder is getting it on in the dance floor}
Marley: thanks.
Marley's POV
My eyes shot wide open in shock at the sight of Ryder grinding with Marissa. My breathing increased and I felt myself getting hotheaded at the sight I was looking at. Must she grind up on him up and down like that?! But to add matters worse Ryder looks to be enjoying himself. No I can't feel this way about Ryder I'm with Jake and Ryder and I are just friends or maybe not even that at the moment.
Jake: yeeeaaahhhh! My boy getting it with that chick he sang to.
Ay man wtf! Don't...
Marley: Jake! C'mon lets go dance next to Ryder and Marissa {trying to avoid the drunk fight her bf was almost going to have}
Marley's POV
Jake and I pull up next to Ryder and Marissa. Marissa looks gorgeous, prettier than me for sure no wonder Ryder is dancing with someone like her. Ryder looks at me in shock and with lustful eyes. He's never looked at me like that or I don't think I've ever noticed until now, but I'll just blame that on the alcohol. I can tell he's been drinking but not as drunk as Jake.
Ryder's POV
I'm having the best time until I see Marley with Jake come next to where Marissa and I are dancing. I fist bump Jake then look at Marley. Wow I don't think I've ever seen Marley looking so...soo damn sexy and attractive. Hotter than any girl at this party I've scoped out. Defiantly hotter than Marissa. Wow! She knows how to defiantly take the spot light even when she's not trying to. But why is she here dancing next to me, did she do this on purpose just to crush my heart even more? No you're just over thinking this just have a good time dancing with Marissa it's time to move on.
Marley and Ryder secretly keep glancing at each other throughout the next couple of songs. The tension grows between them but is broken when Marissa asks Ryder if he wanted to gets some air.
Ryder and Marissa walk to the back yard where there's another DJ and pool filled with more drunk and horny teens.
Ryder: Ahhh! Fresh air {fanning his damp shirt up and down}
Marissa: Yeah ha! {Sounding a little awkward}{some of Marissa's friends walk up to them}
Ryder: I'm going to get a new cup…want one? {Marissa nods}
Inside the kitchen
Kitty: Ryder! {Fumbles herself on him; while Ryder spills some of the alcohol in the cup he's holding}
Ryder: Whoa! Kitty having a good time?
Kitty: Not really, let's go dance!
Ryder: we will later. I promise. {Looking outside the open French doors towards where Marissa and her friends are}
Jake and Marley walk in the kitchen towards Ryder who is now companied with Kitty, Tina and Blaine.
Marley locks eyes with Ryder for a good 10 seconds.
Jake: it was getting too hot in the dance floor {wiping sweat from his face with a towel}
Some random football player approaches the ladies and congrats the ladies on their win looking mostly at Marley.
Jake takes offense at this and pushes the guy sending him back. Soon enough a fight breaks out between the two. Marley is in the background yelling at Jake to stop. Ryder pulls Jake off the football player, holding/dragging him to the backyard. Marley follows. And Marissa notices the big commotion and follows too.
Ryder: DUDE CHILL!
Sugar: hey guys I don't mean to be a buzz kill but I think Jake should go home now. I called Puck to come pick his brother up and make sure he doesn't get into any more trouble.
Marley: yeah that's a good idea I think he's had enough.
Ryder is trying to make Jake calm down. After a few minutes Jake finally calmed down. Puck shows up to take him home. Marley says goodnight to him and tells him she's going to go home after she gets Kitty home safe too. Ryder helps Puck drag the too drunk to walk Jake to Pucks parked car in the front & says goodnight to Marissa who has a curfew to make.
Marley's POV
The party is dying out. I think I'm the only sobered one. I've never seen that side of Jake before and quite frankly it was a turn off. Why couldn't he be able to control his alcohol like Ryder! Omg, luckily Ryder was there to help stop the fight. I just wish he would talk to me. We had a lot of secret glances the whole night but I wonder if that was just confidence coming from the alcohol in both of our systems. Yeah it probably didn't mean anything or…it did. You know what they say alcohol brings out the hidden truth in people. I should go thank him for everything and see where things are between us.
Marley: Hey! Thanks for…
Ryder: {smirks earnestly} Don't mention it. That's what friends are for.
Marley: Yeah huh. {down casts her eyes down towards the ground} Oh and uhhh sorry for keeping you away from your date {actually I'm not that sorry from the last one}
Ryder: It's cool. {starts walking away}
Marley: Ryder!
Ryder turns around
Ryder: yeah?
Marley's POV
Oh crap! I didn't mean to say that. I mean I did. But then again I didn't. Great now you have to come up with something good to say. But I'm drawing blank not that I don't know what to say just the complete opposite actually. There are so many things I want to say to him. Like give him a real apology and tell him everything! That I really do care about him and maybe I like him more than just friends. Even though I'm with Jake I'm starting to think that I made a huge mistake.
Marley: I was just wondering do you need a ride home?
