Once again, thank you everyone for all the reviews. They have been so fun to read! This chapter is the party, and lots of Jerry goodness! Oh, and it didn't seem like you guys minded that I changed the invitation rule a little. So basically, anyone inside the house can invite good old Jerry in! Lol. Enjoy!

-This chapter contains underage drinking...not sure if that offends anyone or not, but thought I'd just give a heads up anyways.-

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

The party was in full swing. About fifteen people or so had arrived; more than Allie had initially invited, but even so, that had been ok.

It hadn't been long before someone had found the stereo and had turned on some familiar song at a loud volume, and another group of kids discovered the Wii system and were now competing against one another. Others were dancing or talking, and one boy was standing on the couch, beer in hand, singing along to the music.

"Here ya go!" Sarah came up to Allie, opening a beer and handing it to her.

"Great party so far!" Sarah complimented as Allie shrugged, "Yeah, I guess so." She said a little unconvincingly as she took a drink of the beer. Sure, the turn-out was good, but Ed, Adam, nor Charley had arrived so far.

Allie guessed Sarah was about to tell her some reassuring words, but Allie interrupted as she saw a few kids clearing off the kitchen table; she knew exactly what they had planned to do, "Hey! You guys aren't going to play beer pong on my dad's table!" She went to yell at the kids who looked like they were going to play whether she liked it or not.

"Ah come on! We'll let you go first!" One of the boys tried to reason as Allie rolled her eyes. Knowing that the argument would get nowhere, she let out a sigh before answering, "Hang on, we have an extra table in the garage."

That seemed to appease the guys as Allie grabbed the garage key and went out the back door, Blaze slipping inside past her as he happily went to greet all the different people. Unlocking the back garage door, Allie flicked on a light as she went to find the fold-up table they stored there.

After searching for a few minutes, Allie finally found the table...of course it was stored behind boxes of holiday crap and other random items most commonly found in a garage. Letting out a sigh, Allie set her beer down and began moving the heavy boxes out of the way in order to get to the table. She just now realized that no one had offered to help her...of course.

"Need some help?" A voice came from behind as Allie let out a surprised squeak, dropping the box that was in her hand as she spun around. An amused Jerry stood in the garage door frame, arms crossed over his chest as he gave a chuckle upon seeing her reaction.

"Jesus Christ..." She mumbled, her heart beating at an accelerated rate. Why did he have to sneak up on her so quietly like that?

"No, no...I'm fine. I've got it." She told him with a scowl before turning around to pick up the box she had dropped. Of course he couldn't just mind his own business. A few silent moments passed as Allie continued to move boxes; she didn't have to turn around to know that Jerry was still watching her. It hadn't really hit her until now that she was alone in a garage...Jerry blocking the only opened exit. He hadn't moved any closer to her, keeping himself just outside the door, but it didn't help that his eyes continued to stare at her.

Finally, he broke the silence, "Sounds like you kids are having a good time in there." Jerry spoke, the loud music could be clearly heard all the way outside.

"Yeah we are." Allie wanted to keep her response short, but almost regretted that she had said it a little more rudely than she had intended. She had finally managed to pull the table out of its spot, dragging it across the garage floor with one hand, and grabbing her beer with another. She stopped in front of Jerry, who continued to block the whole door, but she didn't make eye contact, hoping he would just take the hint and move.

"Does your dad know about tonight?" Jerry asked in a curious tone as he eyed the beer in her hand. "What he doesn't know won't hurt him." Allie replied, finally meeting Jerry's eyes with a fierce gaze of her own, almost daring him to mention something to her dad when they finally did meet.

Jerry either felt her gaze to be comical, or he simply ignored it because he let out a chuckle. "No need for the hostilities. I just wouldn't want the authorities to be called because a group of high school kids are drinking and having a good time." His tone wasn't threatening but almost concerned that their good time could potentially be ruined, but either way, it was still almost impossible to read the man.

"Thanks for your concern. I'll turn the music down and there shouldn't be a problem." Allie responded, getting impatient that he wasn't moving, but still not making a move to get past him.

Jerry gave her a mocking smile, revealing his white teeth, his own impatience was now evident in his voice as he spoke, "Maybe you kids could use a chaperone." He subtly volunteered as Allie instantly shook her head. "We'll be fine. Now if you'll excuse me..." She tried to be polite as she took another step forward, indicating she wanted to pass.

The two held each other's gaze momentarily before Jerry finally moved to the side, holding out an arm to indicate she could pass. "By all means..." His tone was a little more darker now as she carefully slide the table past him and out the door before she walked past him, her heart beat increasing as she moved directly in front of him, his annoyed gaze burning down on her.

"Have fun..." He called after her, almost mockingly as Allie made her way back inside, shutting the back door behind her, only to be met with a couple of joking cheers from the guys that had wanted to play beer pong. A few of them came and took the table off her hands, beginning to set it up for the game.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

It had been a couple of rounds of beer pong later and most of the guests were huddled around the table, either playing or loudly cheering along as Allie was forced to drink a cup.

"Damn it you guys! We're losing!" She scolded her team jokingly as they all laughed. She had completely forgotten about her three main friends not coming to the party, and more thankfully forgotten about the creepy neighbor making a visit, finally able to let loose and have good time.

"Don't blame them for your bad pong skills!" Sarah called jokingly from the other side of the table, the two girls having been split up into different teams. Allie childishly stuck her tongue out at her friend as it was her teammate's turn to try and score a pong ball into a cup.

Allie didn't get to see if he made it or not because a knock on the door interrupted. "Hey! Don't go!" One of the guys called after her, his words slightly slurring as Allie let out a little laugh, "I'm just answering the door." She giggled, the front door only being a few feet away, but the guy had acted like she was leaving forever. "Come back soon!" He called drunkenly as Allie couldn't help but laugh some more. She herself had a nice buzz going, but nothing compared to some of the guys.

Still a smile on her face, Allie pulled open the door. Her smile instantly turned to a frown as Jerry stood at her door, a bottle of vodka in one hand, and a bottle of rum in the other.

"Can I help you?" Her good mood was turning sour. This guy just didn't give up.

"Mind if I come in?" He asked, a charming smile on his face as he gently shook both bottles as if trying to entice her with the hard liquor.

"No, that's ok." Allie quickly replied as Jerry's expression turned to a dark scowl at her constant refusals. "Are you sure you don't want to invite me in?" He asked her in a dangerous tone as Allie looked at him suspiciously. "...Yeah...I'm sure..." She said a little nervously after seeing the look in the man's eye.

It looked like Jerry wanted to murder her right then and there, but he made no move towards her, much to Allie's relief. Instead, he looked past her to everyone huddled around the table playing beer pong.

"Hey, guy!" He called out to the same drunken kid that had been worried about Allie leaving moments ago. He quickly looked over to Jerry, his face lighting up when he saw the two bottles in his hands. "Mind if I join you guys?" Jerry asked, holding up the liquor, eyebrows raised with a devious smile.

"Oh hell man! Bring that shit inside!" The guy called out excitedly before going back to watch the remainder of the pong game. "Wait, what? No!" Allie tried to protest as she watched a wide grin appear on Jerry's face, his eyes darting back to her.

She watched him, a little unsure of what was happening as Jerry's mocking gaze never left her face. He reached one leg out, slowly and deliberately as he watched her, his eyebrows raised, mouth opened in mock surprise as he finally placed one foot inside her house. He began to chuckle teasingly as Allie watched him nervously, a sense of dread hitting her body as soon as the one foot had crossed the door threshold and stepped down onto her floor.

She didn't know why, but she thought back to Adam and Ed. They had told her not to invite him inside because they thought Jerry was a vampire. Although she hadn't believed that story, there was something she was feeling right now that told her senses that Jerry being inside her house was not a good thing at all.

Jerry finally moved his other foot so that his whole body now stood inside her house. He closed his eyes momentarily, breathing in deeply, as a wide smirk spread on his face. He was savoring the moment. When he finally opened his eyes, he turned his attention back to the apprehensive Allie; all traces of his smile were gone and were replaced with a malicious expression.

"That wasn't so hard now was it?" He spoke in a dangerous tone and Allie couldn't help but gulp. The devil had just made his way into her house...
