Chapter Seven

SHE

I was going to kill Jason. Actually I was going to castrate him later when he was asleep. I balled up my fists and rubbed them across my eyes, then moved them towards my temples, wanting to soothe away the incoming headache. What happened to the big brother that wouldn't let me talk to guys he didn't even trust? I swear to God that Jason was going to pay for this later.

"Dude, if you know what's good for you. Take a shot of tequila and get it over and done with." Gar suggested.

"Yes, I agree with Garfield. Drink the shot Richard." Rich looked at me and then at the rest of the group. Please choose the shot, come on; choose the shot. It was the mantra that I kept repeating again and again in my head.

And to my disgust, Rich chose to take the dare. I didn't show my disgust, but I could feel a lump in my throat that was forming stopping the lecture that I was going to give Jason. Then Gar started to argue with Jason about Jason's responsibilities as my brother, until of course Vic decided to grab a pan and ladle and smash them together, creating a loud and irritating crash. But of course, that didn't have the effect that Vic was hoping for. Loud sounds like that don't really bother the band anymore, because of the volume that the amps are turned up at, but it did leave an irritating ring in my mind. I groaned in frustration, shaking my head to get rid of the ringing sound.

"Just hurry up and kiss me already." That shut up both Gar and Jason.

"Are you sure about that Rae?" Gar asked.

I nodded my head in response. I just wanted to get this dare over and done with. I turned my body so that I was facing Rich, and he in return did the same thing. We both leaned in towards each other, the closer we got, I could feel the warmth radiating off him, and the faint smell of his cologne that was strangely intoxicating. I closed my eyes as we closed the space between us, expecting to feel his lips touch mine, I felt them collide with my cheek. Rich pulled away, and grinned me. I opened my eyes, shock eminent on my face.

"There. Dare completed."

Jason pouted slightly, glaring at Rich and shaking his head, while Gar, Vic and Kori laughed their guts out. Jason picked up the bottle of tequila and the shot glass.

"Sorry Rich, but you didn't do that dare properly. A shot of tequila for you my man." Jason exclaimed, as he popped open the bottle, not until I made sense of what Rich did.

"Jason. Rich did do the dare right. You said that he had to kiss me, but you didn't specify where." I felt a small smile tug at the corners of my mouth, as Rich replied.

Jason, was about to argue back, until Vic stepped up and supported his friend. "Dude, you didn't specify. Get over it, and let's move on with the game.

We played Truth or Dare for God knows how long, but it was amusing and scarring to see my brother dress up in one of his suit jackets and only his suit jacket. I shuddered at the thought of him ever doing that again.

It was about three in the morning when we finished out game, but obviously some of us were a little too drunk to go anywhere, and by some of us I meant Gar. Gar was an idiot, because he knew that he couldn't hold his liquor, unlike some of us. Plus my friends slept over more than enough times to know where the guest rooms were. Kori helped Gar into the room that they usually shared together when they stayed over. Jason went straight to bed, because I could hear him playing Kiss softly from his stereo. That left me to take Rich and Vic to the spare rooms. Both were slightly intoxicated after rejecting countless embarrassing truth questions and ridiculous dares, most which came from Gar. I got up from my place on the ground, and helped Rich with Vic. Once he was steady, I lead them to the spare rooms, attempting to find a room, far away from mine.

But someone, meaning an idiot brother of mine, made sure that there were only double beds in the far rooms. I sighed.

"You okay?" Rich asked.

"Fine. I just need to get you guys into your rooms, and then you can do whatever from there." I lead them to the room closet to mine, which thank God, had two single beds. "Here's your room. I'll bring in your bags, so you can change and do whatever."

Rich nodded and walked into the room closing the door behind him quietly. I went back into the living room to grab his and Vic's bags. I found them, just behind the couch. I grabbed them, hauled them over my shoulder, and took them to the room that Rich was in. I knocked on the door. I heard the hot water turn off, and someone getting out of the shower. Rich opened the door, and was clad in a pair of plaid boxers, with a towel thrown over his head. I felt a blush slowly creep up my neck, as I handed him his and Vic's bags.

"Thanks. Hey can I ask, but is there as reason why you walked us around the mansion just to get to this room?"

The blush was replaced with a relived breathe. "Let's just say that Jason tends to make sure he gets his way."

Rich leaned against the door frame, he was looming over me. "Really? He seems like the over protective type."

I chuckled at the comment. Jason could be the over protective big brother if he wanted, but in this case, I swear that he was trying to get me to warm up to Rich. "He can be, if he wants. Anyway it's almost four, and I want sleep."

Before I could turn, Rich caught me arm and turned me enough to kiss my cheek. As he pulled away, I felt a blush flow right towards my cheeks. I turned and saw that Rich a dusting of light pink over his cheeks.

"Thanks for helping me out with Vic."

"Yeah, no problem."

He closed the door gently, and I turned, and touched my cheek. I definitely wasn't expecting that. I walked into my room, and turned on my stereo and let the music lull me to sleep. For that entire night, I fell asleep with my hand pressed against me cheek, as if I was trying to reserve the memory if rich's kiss there.

HE

After I closed the door, I listened intently for Rae's footsteps, as she walked away from the room. What was wrong with me? I was trying to get her to like me! Instead I gave her a small measly reason for her, not to trust me! I face palmed myself, and dragged it to bed. I saw Vic's body as a lump under the sheets next to my bed. I turned over, and tried to get some sleep. After all it was past three on a Saturday morning.

I woke up to someone knocking loudly on the door. I heard Vic mutter something and press a pillow against his head. Whoever was knocking didn't exactly have the common sense to stop, because the knocking just kept getting louder and louder, until I jumped out of the bed, and ripped the door open like a ferocious animal and snarled: "What they hell do you want?"

Turns out, it was Gar. He stood; shell shocked for a moment before his expression went from scared shitless to cacking himself laughing. "Dude! You should have seen you're face!" Gar kept laughing.

What the hell happened to him? Last night he was drunk, and his morning he's like a ADHD kid on sugar. I groaned internally. "What do you want Gar? It's – "I glanced at the digital clock on the cherry wood bedside table. "- two in the afternoon." Silence had passed, Gar stopped laughing, and then reality sunk in. "HOLY SHIT!" It's two!"

That got Gar laughing again. "Dude, Rae sent me to get you two lazy asses up. She's making lunch."

"Yeah, yeah. Give me a couple of minutes and we'll be out of here."

With that Gar bounced away, and I was finally left alone to my thoughts for a few minutes at least. I managed to shake Vic awake and shove him into the shower, while I grabbed a pair of jeans and a random t-shirt that Alfred had packed for me. Vic walked out of the shower; I could see the bags underneath his eyes. Alcohol ha that effect on him. He was fully dressed in a pair of jeans and an old t-shirt. He fell straight back into the bed, face first.

"Come on dude. There's breakfast waiting for us."

He groaned into his pillow, but didn't move. I crossed the room, and stood over Vic's bed. I pulled the sheets from underneath him and watched him as Vic was flipped off the bed and landed on the ground with a crashing thud. I started to back away, and slowly opened the door, waiting for the right moment to run for my life. Slowly from the ground Vic rose up, and gave me a death glare.

"You are going to die." Vic muttered in a raspy voice.

I took that as my cue to run to the kitchen, where I could at least hope to find some sanctuary. I ran towards the kitchen to find that Raven and Jason in the kitchen cooking something, and Gar and Kori in the living room watching some kid's cartoons on the floor.

"When Vic comes in here, please restrain him in any way that you deem necessary."

They all looked at me as if I was a crazy person, and in a way, I was. Especially if I woke Vic up, the way I did. He would want me skewered on a spit, so he could slow roast me. And trust me; I definitely didn't want that to happen to me.

"DICK!"

Gar, Kori and I visibly winced at the sound of Vic's voice, while Jason and Raven didn't seem to notice the sound. I automatically went to find something that I could use to barricade myself behind. I saw the couch and jumped over it, stood waiting and ready for Vic. He ran into the room, with his nostrils flared like a bull's and his face, was flushed a dark red.

"Where. Is. He?" Vic growled

I stood behind the couch ready for Vic's attack. He spotted me, and was about to pounce me, until someone smacked him on the head. I moved around the couch, to poke Vic, to check that he was still conscious. He sat up and rubbed the fast forming lump at the back of his head.

"Don't you think you went a little too far with that? I mean you could have knocked me out." Vic asked.

Raven snorted. "Trust me, I could have done worse. Now get your sorry ass off the floor and to the table. Breakfast is being served."

I watched as Raven told Vic off. She had this undertone of authority in her voice, which was kind of sexy. I shook the thought, out of my head. First, it was the kiss on her cheek and now this thought. I went and joined everyone at the breakfast bar. There was a plate, with something different on it for everyone.

I looked at mine, and there was a huge stack of pancakes, accompanied with eggs and bacon. Gar's plate was exactly the same as mine, except that he didn't have bacon, it almost looked like tofu? I saw Kori munching on cereal, and Vic joined me with a plate of bacon and eggs with hash browns. I looked up and saw that Jason and Rae were sitting on the kitchen, having a quiet yet animated conversation about something that made both of them mad, considering that they both had expressions of fury on their faces.

"Seriously, what type of question is that? What do you expect to happen huh?" Raven hissed

"Well, I assumed that you both can at least tolerate each other now, considering that we got to know him better." Jason hissed back

"Of course, I can tolerate him better! It's just that trusting him might take some more time then everyone here hopes. And I know that both you and Gar planned this all out, don't even try denying it."

"Well, we had a good reason to do it. You were jumpy and paranoid all the time, and it was starting to impact on your music."

There silence. I understood that Raven had trust issues, but were they bad enough that she couldn't even stand anyone discovering this little secret. I came to realisation that she needed more exposure to the world out there. I felt small devious small formed on my lips, because Vic gave me this look that said "what stupid thing are you doing to do now?"

My smile turns into a full blown grin as I pulled out my phone and walked out of the kitchen to call someone that could help me with this certain situation.
