We take sour sips
From life's lush lips
And we shake, shake, shake the hips
In relationships
Stop by this disaster town
You'll put your eyes to the sun, and say "I know"
You're only blinding to keep back what the clouds are hiding
And we might have started singing just a little soon
We're throwing the stones in a glass room
Whoa, ah, oh
We're so miserable and stunning
Whoa, love songs for the genuinely cunning
Whoa, ah, oh
We keep the beat
With your blistered feet
We bullet the words at the mockingbirds, singing
Slept through the weekend and dreamed
That you're sinking with the melody of the kiss of eternity
Got postcards from my former self, saying "how you been?"
The Carpal Tunnel of Love, Fall Out Boy
Her blonde hair shined in the lights of the night club as she stared intently at her beverage that was randomly given to her by the bartender.
In other words she was completely and utterly bored.
Why does Alex get all the fun? She thought sourly and took another gulp of her drink…. She had to admit… she couldn't blame those girls for picking up Alex. He was incredibly good looking.
"Excuse me," a slightly shaky voice said in more of a question than anything.
Jordan turned her bar stool towards the voice and saw a cute, twenty-something guy standing in front of her nervously. She quickly straitened her posture and gave him a smile to remove all traces of the sulking she had just done.
"Hello," she greeted him, taking the man aback for a bit.
"Oh-ah-hi," he smiled," I'm Michael," he stuck his hand out for her to shake.
"Jordan," she purred, instantly putting him into a trance, and shook his hand.
"Um… well," he stuttered trying to remember why he introduced himself in the first place. Michael shifted awkwardly back-and-forth until he remembered.
"Do you want to dance with me?"
"Sure," she downed her drink and then set the glass down and stood up.
Jordan followed him to the dance floor where she suddenly got lost in the music and started twisting and moving her body to some Lady Gaga song.
She scanned the room for Alex and saw him dancing with Slut 1 and Slut 2 and not looking very happy about it.
The teenage spy couldn't help but smile as she watched him. Good, Jordan thought smugly but then, taking her by surprise, Alex looked up at her and their eyes meet. He smiled at her and she just stared at him feeling a bit stupid.
Ugh, she cringed, her probably thinks I'm an idiot.
Then she noticed that Alex was now staring at Michael and giving him a once over and then glaring angrily at him.
Hmmm… she thought. Sure, she knew Alex had feelings for her but didn't he know that this was all an act?
Guess not….
Finally breaking away from Alex's gaze the blonde girl looked over at Michael and suddenly realized why he was so angry.
Michael was an animal! He was shaking his body as if he was having a seizure. Not to mention that he was completely on her upper thigh. Jordan couldn't help but feel completely disgusted as she watched his uncoordinated dance movies and pervy thrusts.
Ugh, get your penis of my leg, perv, Jordan rolled her eyes.
"Um," she said while stepping backwards and he stood up awkwardly. "I'm going to go find my brother," she shouted over the music and he nodded glumly.
"'Kay," he said with a frown and moped off the dance floor.
Thank God.
Then, before he could come back, Jordan turned towards where Alex was and froze.
There he was… walking towards Alex with dark and dangerous eyes and a plan clearly playing in his mind.
J.D., she gasped.
There was something about the look on his face that she didn't trust. That, and the fact that he was probably mad that they ditched him made her feel apprehensive.
Quickly, she made her way towards Alex hoping to get there before J.D. but she was too late.
He pushed the two girls out of his way and pressed something-Jordan guessed a knife-up to Alex's back and whispered into his ear. Alex's whole body stiffened and he nodded and then they made their way to the exit of the club.
No!! A voice in the back of Jordan's mind cried and before she could second guess herself she bolted towards the door.
J.D. instinctively turned around and stared wide-eyed at the angry girl coming towards him. He turned back around and pressed the knife harder against Alex's back and whispered in his ear again. Alex started to turn but the man nudged him and then dragged him out to the street.
Jordan's eyes were glued to them and she was determined-
BOOM!
She crashed into something hard sending her onto the floor. Jordan looked up in shock and saw Michael staring down at her with a big goofy grin on his face and a shot glass in hand.
"Ugh," the girl groaned and then stood up.
"Hey, Jordan," he slurred while swaying side-to-side, "wanna dance?"
She rolled her eyes and then pushed him aside. "In your dreams," she said sharply before sprinting out to the sidewalk.
Jordan whirled around then, looking all around her for any sign of where Alex and J.D. were.
There were none.
Tears started to form in her eyes but she held them back forcefully and then she looked at the street and saw a man starting to get into his Mercedes convertible. Without thinking she ran over to the car and grabbed the collar of the man's shirt and pulled him to the ground. She reached into the man's pocket and pulled out the keys and jumped into the car and drove away before he could stop her.
As Jordan drove she pulled out her cell phone and sent a quick text to Alex, praying that he would be able to somehow reply to her.
A/N: Hey!! Yes... I'm back, and hopefully I won't have another one of those dreadful pauses in my updating. It annoys me as much as if probably annoys you I'm sure. If not more.
Okay... so I'll try REALLY hard to update quicker but here's my latest excuse....
I'm the JV goalie (just found out today, WA HOO!) AND the C-squad goalie (sorta) and I have to go to BOTH games... which means I'll be crazy busy. Updating will be easier now but once school starts I don't have a prayer.
Sorry... that's how it is :(
I know... it upsets me too.
Enough of that... R&R!!!
HANNAH
