Author's Note: January. That's the last time I updated this. I'm sorry. I seem to be very bad about updating my series lately. I'm going to attempt to update more often. Those of you who have read my other stories know the drift: I have a problem updating lol. I'll keep trying to do better. This year, I've been cracking down on myself.

Kevin

Kevin awoke, his senses reeling. He kept his eyes shut. Even the sunlight burning on his eyelids made his head ache. He lay there for minutes, or maybe hours, until someone touched his shoulder.

He opened his eyes to a blue haired figure; Maxxie was leaning over him.

"Good to see you wake up," Maxxie said. "Now maybe you can help me figure out where the fuck we are."

Kevin stood up, holding his head. Everything was still too bright, and he felt like he ripped stitches out.

"I dunno. We still in Bristol?"

"How would we've left?"

"I dunno, do I? Car?"

"It doesn't matter, really. Let's just try and get back home."

Getting a better look around, Kevin noticed that they were under an overpass, just below a rather busy highway. Every minute or so, a new car would pass by. They climbed up the side and began walking down the road, Maxxie found he was missing a shoe, and his scarf was torn, while Kevin was still wearing his pants, though not his underwear, and had a rather nasty-looking brown stain on his white shirt. After about twenty minutes of walking, a car pulled over.

"James?" Maxxie said when he saw who it was.

"Hey. Saw you walking. You just getting exorcize? You look terrible."

"Yeah. Crazy party last night. You wouldn't be able to give me a lift home would you?"

Michelle quickly tried to wipe her drool off of Tony's pillow as she awoke in his room. He was laying on the floor. Last night, they'd gotten into a fight.

"You don't even care about me, do you, Tony?"

"Of course, 'Chelle. I still love you!"

"No—you don't, or you'd be trying to be with me. You'd fucking try, Tone!"

"You don't think I am? You don't think I don't imagine you every night being with someone else? You don't think I haven't stared at that picture of you every single night, wishing it was really you, wishing I could go back. I wish I'd never gotten hit by a bus, I really really do!"

"Fuck you, Tony! Fuck you!"

Michelle had grabbed the picture and smashed it against the wall. She had it now, laying on the bed next to her. She'd remembered the day. Tony had bought her a new bikini, and she was showing it off. A tear formed in her eye as she remembered the crunch of glass hitting the wall.

The door flew open, catching Tony in the ear. He cursed as he stood up, causing his morning wood to poke from his pants. He quickly tore a sheet from the floor and covered himself. To his luck, only Michelle saw his member—Anwar was too busy looking at Chris, who was wearing a swan dress. Anwar was wearing a Spartan outfit, with a helmet and everything.

"Mate, can we nick some clothes?" Chris asked.

Tony didn't trust himself to talk, he was trying to hold back laughter. Michelle however was on the floor rolling and laughing. Tony nodded as he helped the wheezing girl up and out into the hallway.

Tony, Michelle, Anwar, and Chris sat around Tony's kitchen table. Standing next to the corner, texting, was Tony's sister, Effy.

"So last night, we said we were going to keep Kevin up. We all got wasted, and woke up. Where's Kevin and Maxxie? Where's Jal and Sid?"

"Dunno." The others said in unison.

"Well," said Effy, "if you guys were more careful with your alcohol like me, you wouldn't be in this mess, now would you?"

"Well," Chris said mockingly, "if you'd butt out, maybe we'd find our friends."

"Mate!" Tony said warningly.

They'd made a plan to split up, Effy too, and find their missing friends.

It was awkward in the car with James. Although Kevin knew nothing was going on between him and Maxxie, he still felt a twinge of spite—there was chemistry between them. As they drove, they talked and laughed, and occasionally, Maxxie would reach back and give Kevin's a leg a squeeze. During the quiet times, Maxxie would pull down the visor mirror and pretend to be fixing his hair, but his eyes would be transfixed on Kevin's. It became such that one time, he messed his perfect hair up, and had to spend extra time fixing it.

Finally, they pulled over at Kevin's house, and Maxxie and Kevin got out.

"I thought that ride would never end," Kevin admitted as James drove away.

"You didn't like him? He's cool."

"It's not that – he definitely likes you."

"You jealous?"

"Very...and when I get jealous, I get angry."

"Well you shouldn't be jealous of James. He won't try anything. I promise."

"Thanks." Kevin wrapped his arms around Maxxie. Even though Maxxie smelled like sweat and dirt, he'd rather be no where else.

About an hour later, both Maxxie and Kevin were dressed and out looking for their friends in Kevin's dad's car. They searched and searched, eventually meeting up with everyone. The only people missing were Jal and Sid.

Jal tipped the bottle of tequila and let the amber liquid run down her throat, then poured some into Sid's mouth. The pair hadn't stopped drinking. In fact, they hadn't stopped moaning either. Although he'd—climaxed—several times, they were both so drunk they just kept rubbing up against each other. Jal knew somewhere in the back of her mind that she'd always regret having sex with Sid. She kept moaning about a Ted, while Sid was moaning about Cassie. Cassie was still moaning when Sid started to snore. She tried to push him off of her, but couldn't. She was so worn out, that she laid her head down and went to sleep.

Cassie

The train came to a screeching stop, and Cassie lurched forward. She smiled happily as she stepped off the train, hoping to see Sid. Her smile kept shining and shining as she walked through the station, got in a taxi, arrived at Sid's house, was greeted by his father, and was still shining when she opened the door to his room. She closed the door, and took off all but her underwear, knowing he'd get aroused instantly. She reached round, and flicked on the light. Her smile went out like a candle under water.
