(Just a warning, some bad language through this chapter! The characters get drunk, LAWL!)

Miley's POV

After leaving the diner, I invited Alex, Jack and Selena to sleep over my house. We have this small extension on my house which is sort of like 'my wing' of the house, so we all chill in the living room part whenever someone stays over.

As we got out of the car, Alex hooked his arm around his waist as we walked up the path to my front door. Selena and Jack trailed behind, arguing over something yet again.

Suddenly, I felt Alex press his face into my ear and he whispered, "They so want each other." I could feel his breath on my face and it made me shiver. I looked up and him and smiled and he stifled out a laugh.

"Hi mom!" I chimed as we walked through the door.

"Hi honey! Alex, Selena, Jack! You're staying over?" My mom asked as she saw the three teens behind me. They all nodded obediently which made me laugh.

"Oh okay, well you can order pizza for dinner if you'd like. And please, Jack, no burning your eyebrows off this time!" My mom warned him. Jack looked at my mom with a smile on his face.

"Trust me, Mrs Stewart, never again," he answered her. She nodded and then left the room. I turned towards the other three and smiled.

"Come on, let's go to my room." I said to them, leading them through my house and into my small living area. We then walked up the short staircase and I flopped down onto my king sized bed on my back. I felt Alex land beside me, and Selena had positioned herself on the floor next to where Jack was placed on my bean bag.

"So what shall we do tonight guys?" Alex asked as he propped himself up on his elbow.

"Why don't we watch movies?" Selena suggested.

"BOOOOO!" Jack began. "Movies are boring. We always end up watching The Notebook and it's suckish!" He complained. Alex rolled his eyes.

"What do you want to do then, Jack?" Alex asked his best friend. Jack had the attention span of a six-year-old, and most times he needed to be treated like one too.

"I think we should get drunk, play truth or dare and blast some tunes!" He said, suddenly getting worryingly excited. Selena's face lit up and Alex sat up fast.

"Seems like a pretty dapper idea. No one can hear the music in here and we are all seventeen - NEARLY EIGHTEEN!" Alex replied. All three faces were all suddenly staring at me.

"I don't know guys. My parents hate it when I drink and plus, there's no way we can get into my dad's liquor cabinet tonight," I said whilst fumbling with my fingers.

"Why not?" Selena questioned me.

"He's in his office room with his work friends playing poker. The cabinet is in there!" I answered, falling back onto my bed again.

"Jack and I will go buy some then!" Alex suggested, starting to stand up.

"Al, sorry to burst your bubble but you have to be twenty-one to buy alcohol," I told him.

"Well this stinks, thanks for the shitty idea, Jack," Alex said, falling next to me.

"Just a minute ago, you all thought it was awesome!" Jack said. He stood up and opened my bedroom door. "Be right back," He said quietly as he left the room.


Jack's POV

Just as I'd expected, Mr Stewart was in his bedroom getting ready for his poker game. I quietly laughed to myself and crept into his office, taking a bottle of whiskey, vodka and rum from his cabinet - stuffing one down my pants and two on the inside of my hoodie.

The floorboards creaked as I moved to exit the room, which made me pause and squint. No one came.

I slowly crept out of the room again and just as I thought I'd made a clean exit, Mrs Stewart came up the stairs.

"Jack, honey! What are you doing?" She chimed. I smiled nervously and gulped.

"I just went to the bathroom." She seemed to ignore this as she saw me hugging my self to keep the bottles under my hoodie.

"Dear, are you cold?" She asked. I shook my head quickly and shuffled past her.

"No, no! I should get back to Miley!" I said quickly walking as fast as I could without dropping any of the bottles to Miley's room, leaving her dumbfounded.


Miley's POV

"And Bob is in fact your uncle," Jack said proudly as he sat back down in the bean bag after laying the three bottles on my bed.

"Oh my God, Jack!" I said with my eyes wide. "Why the f*ck did you take so much? He will notice!" I said, smacking him in the arm.

"RELAX! Ugh!" He said, shaking his head to get the hair from his eyes. "Your dad has so much in that cabinet, seriously. He will not notice!"

I sigh in relief and sit on my bed whilst Alex takes a swig of whiskey, pursing his whole face shortly after due to the strong bitter taste of the alcohol.

As more alcohol is consumed, everyone is more or less drunk or tipsy. It was 11pm already and all we had done is drunk and sung badly.

"Guys!" Jack shouted. "Let's blast some songs!" He announced, turning my stereo on and playing "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World really loudly.

Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just try your best, try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away

It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright

Alex sang along, proudly knowing every word. Jack decided to dance very badly while Selena and I sat together drinking from the vodka bottle.

"Miles, I gotta tell you something," Selena slurred in my ear. The music was deafeningly loud, so she had to shout it to me.

"What?" I replied. I wasn't as drunk as she was, but I was merry.

"I really like Jack," she admitted in her drunken state. "I never told anyone cause he's such an asshole, but I do. I really like him."

"But you always act like you hate him," I questioned her. She nodded and hiccuped.

"It was a cover up." She paused and had a suspicious look on her face. "LET'S PLAY SPIN THE BOTTLE!" She screamed. Alex and Jack both cheered and sat on my carpet, Alex hugging the whiskey bottle. I grabbed the now empty vodka bottle and placed it in the middle of the four of us and sat in between Selena and Alex. I spun the bottle without even asking and it landed on Jack.

"WAIT, I WANT THIS ONE!" Alex demanded in a slur. "Is it true that you f*cked Ariana in eleventh grade behind the garbage cans?"

"Alex, that's not fair because you know the answer!" He whined. Alex wasn't phased and remained consistent.

"FINE! Yes I f*cking did!" He announced and led back against the wall. Alex began to laugh hysterically at his best friend's embarrassment. "Right, I'm spinning next!" Jack demanded, spinning the bottle. It landed on me and a gigantic smirk landed on Jack's face. I could tell this would be his revenge, so I prepared myself.

"Miley, I dare you to kiss Alex," He said, trying his best to keep his laughs in.

"No," and "Absolutely not," came out of Alex and I's mouths at the same time.

"Not optional," Jack answered simply. "If you don't do the dare, you have to streak down the beach in the morning, simple!" Jack said to me.

I watched Alex look at me. At the end of the day, it was pretty evident he liked me more than he said, and it was also evident that this kiss was happening.

"You in?" He asked me with a hopeful look on his face. I nodded, not knowing whether I was doubtful or not.

"DO IT!" Jack and Selena shouted in unison. I shuffled over to Alex and he leaned in immediately, as did I. I could feel him closing in and his breath on his face. I closed my eyes as he shut his and just as we were about to kiss, the door flung open and a drunken Nick stood in the door way.

"I heard there was a party here tonight!" He said, carrying a pack of six beers and tossing them onto the bed. He stumbled into the room and sat in between Alex and I, leaning on me.

"Well I'm guessing this game is over!" Selena slurred.

"It's not a party," Alex scolded. Nick noticed this, even in his state.

"Woo hoo, Alex Williams is in a mood. What's wrong, Miley doesn't love you back?" Nick teased, chubbing one of Alex's cheeks.

"Okay, Nick you're leaving," I announce, standing up and grabbing his collar.

"Miley's getting fiesty, I like it," He said, following me out of my bedroom. I lead him downstairs and out into our front garden.

"Goodbye Nick," I say, just about to shut the door.

"WAIT!" He shouts, opening the door. Suddenly, he leans in and presses his perfectly soft lips onto mine.

"Goodnight Miley," He says with a smile, stumbling up my driveway and around the corner. I am dazed. I close the door and walk up to my room, sitting next to Alex on the floor again without saying a word.

"You okay Miles?" Alex asks with a merry chuckle. I nod and touch my lips with a smile. "No way," Alex mumbles, knowing the previous events.

"He kissed me," I whispered, looking to my best friends eyes who's emotions looked slit.

"I TOLD YOU HE LIKED YOU!" Selena shouted, hiccuping and giggling after. I rolled my eyes and smiled at her.

"I think I like him, guys," I admitted. I watched Alex look down and close his eyes, almost like he'd been defeated.

"Miles, he was drunk!" Alex said quietly. "Sorry to burst your bubble," I could have sworn he was mocking me from earlier, "but he probably won't even remember tomorrow." He said with an annoyed look on his face.

"I guess," I pondered the thoughts in my head of what could happen if he did like me. But then there was Alex. I know he likes me but I don't like him. Maybe I'm in denial.

"I hate this atmosphere," Jack admits. He stands up and puts "Stacy's Mom" by Fountains of Wayne on my stereo, turning it up really loud.

We all smile at each other and sing the words to one another, all of us knowing every word.

You know, I'm not the little boy that I used to be
I'm all grown up now, baby can't you see

Stacy's mom has got it goin' on
She's all I want and I've waited for so long
Stacy, can't you see you're just not the girl for me
I know it might be wrong but I'm in love with Stacy's mom

"This song is f*cking epic!" Jack shouts. God, that boy loves music.

I watch Selena sat there singing, but she's thinking of something. I can see it in her expression. Suddenly, her eyes flicker up to me and she smiles.

"I'm gonna do it," she says to me, standing up. All of a sudden, she walks up to Jack and kisses him deeply, right there. Alex starts to cheer as Jack aggressively kisses her back, his hands knotted in her long, dark hair. I watch as he pushes her up against my bedroom wall and presses his body to hers.

"Oh my f*cking god," I mutter, looking down as I smile for her.

"I always knew he liked her," Alex told me as he sat next to me on my bed.

"She literally just told me she liked him," I replied, leaning my head on his shoulder. I felt Alex tense and I sat up straight, staring up at him.

"Al, what's wrong?" I ask, searching his eyes for any emotion.

"I can't do this anymore," He tells me before crashing his lips to mine with such passion I get overwhelmed. I slowly kiss him back and then pull away, looking into his eyes.

"We're so gonna regret this in the morning," I murmur to him. He smiles at me and then kisses me once more, this time with more depth. I don't object.

As he kisses me, my thoughts ponder to a thousand different things. Earlier, I'd said that I like Nick, but is it possible to say that I like Alex too?
