Chapter 2- I Kissed A Drunk Girl

I wasn't sure what time it was when I woke up the next morning, but the sun that was shining through the curtains we forgot to close the night before was absolutely blinding. I slowly sat up in bed, only to realize I wasn't at all alone. As I looked around I noticed that I had fallen asleep in bed with Amy, and Matt, and that I was tangled up with Johnny. How did I end up in bed with the three of them; Johnny especially? I had barely known him for twenty-four hours and I was already tangled up in what would look like a sticky situation. Trish, Chris and Jeff were asleep in the other bed with Zacky asleep at the foot of the bed. Matt and Val were curled up on the couch while Brian, Michelle, Jimmy and Leanna were scattered around the room in various places. I barely remember how we ended up here, I highly doubt any of us drove, and I don't think any of us were sober enough to even dial a cab. What the fuck did we do last night?!

"What time is it?"

I looked over and saw Jeff on the other bed trying to untangle himself from Chris, who was sprawled out across Trish. What I wouldn't give to have my camera right about now.

"Uh it's ..." I reached over and turned the clock a little to face me and when I saw the red glowing numbers my eyes widened to the size of saucers. "Holy shit it's 2:30."

I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and it was then that I realized that it indeed was 2:30 in the afternoon.

"Thank God we don't have a show tonight, I might need the whole day to recover, holy shit!" Jeff sighed.

"Oh my god I feel like I got ran over by a bus!" Chris groaned.

"What did we do last night? Did I do anything stupid?"

"I'd talk to the girls Jay, not me."

"Ugh Jeff just tell me."

"Just, talk to Amy or something ok."

"Jeff tell me now!" I shouted, lunging forward to his side of the room.

"YouhookedupwithJohnny."He all but squeaked out in one huge sentence.

"I what?!?!" I shouted louder, causing everyone in the room to stir and for Amy and Johnny to wake up.

"What in the hell are you screaming about?" Amy wined holding her head.

"You, outside now; we need to talk." I said, grabbing her arm and pulling her off the bed.

"But I…oh the hell with it I'm never gonna win this one, c'mon lets go."

I quickly threw an apologetic look at Johnny and dragged Amy out of the room with me, careful not to step on anyone that was sprawled out on the floor. I grabbed one of the key cards off the dresser and quickly shut the door behind us, turning my full attention to Amy who still looked to be half asleep.

"What did I do last night?"

"Drank like a fish, why you ask?"

"Besides all that," I rolled my eyes and waved my hand around meaning I didn't care about the regular activities. "What else did I do?"

"You mean you and Johnny?" She asked quizzically?

"Yes..." I trailed off, sinking down to the floor. "I mean me and Johnny."

"You made out with him but nothing else," She grinned. "I wouldn't let you go that far with mister rock star."

"Yea, thanks Amy."

I was a bit shocked at my own actions to say the least and for some reason I don't know why. I had made out with drunken random strangers before, and not strangers. There was just something different about Johnny that I couldn't put my finger on and it was slightly perturbing. He was good looking don't get me wrong, but something inside me just screamed 'get to know him first' before I do anything drastic; and here I was waking up with a killer hangover and just recently finding out that I played tonsil hockey with some guy that took a body shot out of my shirt the night before.

"Hey, I don't think I've ever seen you so upset over a drunken hookup, what's wrong?"

"I don't know, I shouldn't be this upset, disgustingly enough this isn't the first time it's happened but something is just telling me I should have gotten to know him first before shoving my tongue down his throat!" I stressed.

"I think you might have some feelings for our little rock star." She grinned.

"I think you might be just a tad bit right, and I hate when I get attached. The last time I got attached was to that guy from the Navy."

"Ah yes, CJ the sailor, I remember him quite well," She mused. "Didn't he wind up already having a girlfriend and a kid with her?"

"Yes!" I shouted. "God knows I was disgusted by the whole thing to say the least, who knows what could go wrong with Johnny!"

"Then get to know him before you make out with him by the bathrooms in a bar," she laughed. "Besides, I hardly think he's anything at all like that jerk from the Navy."

Amy got up from her spot next to me on the floor and walked back into the room. Before I could hear the door shut I felt another body sit next to me on the floor. I turned, half expecting it to be Trish, and saw Johnny sitting their instead.

"Hey."

"Hey." I said, barely above a whisper.

"Look I'm sorry if I took things too far last night, I realize we just met each other and all and I guess..."

"No, you didn't do anything wrong, neither of us did." I smiled, looking at him for the first time since he sat down.

"Then what now?" He asked, looking back at me with great curiosity.

"Then, we get to know each other," I sighed, resting my head on his shoulder. "I really would like to get to know you."

"I wanna get to know you too," He smiled. "Oh, and I wasn't just looking for a 'quick fix' or anything last night."

"I know, I don't think you're that kind of person."

He put his free arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer to him, making me feel even more comfortable around him that I did before. Maybe getting to know him would be a good thing for me, not that I was on the search for love or anything but it just seemed to fall into my lap. Or I pulled it into my lap, but that's beside the point. I could see myself potentially getting into something serious with him, I just didn't think it would happen the way it did.

"We should probably go back inside."

I looked up at him and smiled, partially content with sitting on the floor, but wanting to get up because I was cold.

"Yea, let's go before they send a search warrant out for us." I laughed.

Johnny quickly got up and then pulled me up with him, leading me back into the room that occupied all of our drunken friends. As soon as the door opened and we stepped in I tripped over Zacky, who, in the time we were outside had managed to move himself in front of the door.

"He would be sleeping there," I looked up and saw Val standing in front of the mirror trying to tame her bed head. "You two alright?"

"Yea, we're good." Johnny smiled.

"Good, I was starting to wonder if she had killed you or something!" Chris exclaimed.

I grabbed the nearest pillow I could find and threw it at his head, partially hitting him and partially hitting Trish, who only shook her head laughing.

"You'd think you would learn to keep it shut Canada, my god!"

"You suck, Jay," He said looking from me to Johnny. "Wait, did you two..."

"No! Jesus Christ Christopher," I laughed. "Trish you need to keep an eye on this one."

"Yea, so I've been told." She sighed.

I crawled back over to the bed I had previously been sleeping on and sat in front of Amy who started playing with my highlights and putting them in little braids. It was something we always did when we were tired or on the road with nothing to do.

"Do we need to be anywhere in particular today?" Jeff asked suddenly.

"I don't think so, the shows not until Monday," Matt answered, yawning. "And if I'm right today is Friday."

"Don't worry, you're right." Amy and I said dully.

"Oh good because I wanna wander around Vegas a little bit, I feel like I haven't been here in forever!"

"I'm sure we can find time for that," Michelle laughed, coming out of the bathroom. "Brian said something about going to a famous guitar shop or something."

I nodded while Jeff, who had become engrossed in the new visit to the guitar store, began talking to Brian about all these different kinds of music things. It was a foreign language to me, and I just rested my head on the headboard and looked on as everyone else slowly started waking up.

"Let's go to lunch!" Val exclaimed. "Maybe we can have more than a drunken conversation tonight."

"That sounds good but it would probably be dinner instead,"

"God, you're right it's almost four!" She nodded.

"I'm gonna go back to my room and take a quick shower, and I think you guys should all do the same because we probably reek of booze."

This caused all the guys in the room to 'sniff themselves' and then shuffle off in different directions, and head back to their own rooms and shower.

"Whose room is this anyway?" Trish asked.

"Oh, it's mine and Matt's," Val answered smiling. "Our room was closer than everyone else's."

"Good point," I laughed. "I'm gonna go back to the room and shower, Amy I'll see you back at the room."

"No I'm coming now, but let's say we all meet in the lobby around seven, we can get dinner and then hit a club or something."

Everyone agreed as we filed out of the room and to our own. Once Amy and I reached our room I silently flopped down on the bed and turned on the TV as she began searching for something to wear.

"Someone's smitten." She smiled, looking up from her suitcase.

"I'm certainly not smitten, I'm just going with it and I'll see where it takes me."

"Bullshit, you like him!"

"I do not like him."

"You are so in denial it's funny."

"Whatever, just go shower," I laughed. "And so help you if you use all the hot water."

"Smitten, you're smitten and you know it!"

I groaned and flopped back on the bed, reclaiming my previous position and listening to the music playing from MTV. It seemed to be background noise as the only thing that filtered in and out of my mind was how much Amy was right and I was wrong. I did like him.
