(A/N) So far this has been my favourite one to write, I hope you enjoy it.

Again there is still some "Underage drinking" but this should be the last chapter featuring it. I cut out some scenes that weren't entirely necessary, they were very minor scenes like Lucas and Riley having a moment where they stare at each other from across the room and then she turns away, or like when Maya was dancing and Riley sees her. Really not important and pointless for this fanfiction so I left them out. Oh and the scene where people are spitting (what I assume is) tobacco into a glass jar like really not needed.

Please leave a review if you enjoyed this chapter, new chapters every Monday and Friday!

"So I've got this Sears catalogue thing going, and the tube sock gig that is going to be huge!" Charlie tells Riley as they're walking into another room with his arm around her shoulders. "And I'm up for a Hemorrhoid cream ad next week. I know it sounds kind of bogus but... I get to do some acting." He continued, finally removing his arm from around her shoulders and turning in front of her, placing his beer can on top of a pyramid of other cans.
He poses for Riley, his hands on his hips and he is looking off to one direction. "You see what I did there?" He asks excitedly.
"Uh-huh." Riley says absentmindedly.
"That was Underwear, let me show you the Bathing suit one again." Charlie poses the same way he did before, "Do you see the difference?" Riley turns away from him, uninterested in Charlie's display, he turns to some other people and offers to show them his poses to get their input.

Josh is scouring the party once more looking for Maya when he comes across the girl in the green dress, who threw herself at him earlier, still making out with the guy he passed her on to. The guy notices Josh pass by and quickly grabs his arm and thanks him deeply for what he did. Josh pats him on the back before the two begin to suck face once more.
Josh finally finds Maya and pushes his way through the crowd to get to her, noticing she has another shot in her hand, "Hey Maya, why don't you let me have this one, huh?" He asks her, trying to get the small glass out of her hand.
"No, this one's mine!" She states, clearly drunk out of her mind and slurring her words a bit, she downs the shot and pulls away from Josh to the Dining Room area.
Josh runs his hand through his hair when he feels a tug on his arm and meets the eyes of Charlie Gardner, "My man! How did you get her to do it?" Charlie asks him.
"Do what?" Josh questions.
"Act like a human!" Charlie states and glances back over to Maya who was now standing on the table dancing to the loud music. "Yeah! Alright!" He shouts as he goes to closer to the crowd forming around the table Maya was dancing on.
Josh slowly walks over to join them, but not out of amusement, he was worried about the drunken girl. He looked around at the crowd of people, who were enjoying watching Maya, with a look of disgust and confusion. Maya was dancing a little too provocatively and Charlie was eating it up, smiling back at Josh for the "good work" he had done in getting her to "act like a human" even though she was heavily intoxicated and not at all acting normal.
Maya continued to dance, letting her body feel every beat of the song playing, she got a little too into it and jumped up on the table. Her head connected with the low hanging chandelier and she fell off the table, but not before Josh caught her so she wouldn't get hurt any further.
He slowly set her feet back on the ground as he looked at her with concern, "Are you okay?" He asked her, still holding one arm around her to keep her upright.
"I'm fine." Maya tried to fight him and didn't want his help. Josh let go of Maya as she stood up once more, letting his arms fall to his side in frustration.
Maya loses her balance and begins to fall backwards again, Josh catching her once more in a haste, he positions her upright once more. "You're not fine, come on." He tells her and leads her out of the room.
"I just need to lie down." She tells him as they begin to walk out of the room, Josh's arms around her to keep her steady.
"Uh-huh, you lie down and you're gonna go to sleep." Josh states and keeps them moving.
"Sleep is good." Maya laughs.
"Yeah, well not if you have a concussion!" He reasons, "Come on, here, sit down." He leads her to a bench in Yogi's back yard. Josh inspects Maya as she sits down clutching her head.
"Hey, hey! We need to talk." Lucas approaches Josh.
"Look, Lucas, I'm a little busy right now." He glances at the Texas teen, keeping an eye on the petite blonde.
"Can you give me a second?" Lucas persists.
Josh sighs and reluctantly steps away from Maya, still close enough to keep an eye on her though, "What?" He demands.
"It's off, okay? The whole thing is off." Lucas says.
"What are you talking about?"
"She never wanted me, she wanted Charlie the whole time."
"Lucas, do you like the girl?" Josh asks exasperatedly.
"...Yeah."
"Yeah, and is she worth all this trouble?"
"Well I thought she was but, you know, I-"
"Well she is or she isn't." Josh states putting a hand on Lucas' shoulder, "See first of all, Charlie isn't half the man you are. Secondly, don't let anyone ever make you feel like you don't deserve what you want." He clutches both of his shoulders and looks him in the eye, "Go for it!" Putting his hands back at his sides Josh sees Maya, out of the corner of his eye, start to fall over from where she was seated and quickly rushes back over to catch her and leads her away from the rest of the party.

"This is so patronizing." Maya says as Josh leads her up a hill across the street from Yogi's house.

Josh lets out a groan, "Leave it to you to use big words when you're smashed." He puts her arm around his shoulder to make it easier to lead her.
"I don't think so." She argues, removing her arm from his shoulders and trying to walk on her own, only to stumble up the hill. Josh helps her back up, holding her hip and her hand. "Why are you doing this?" She asks him.
"I told you, you may have a concussion." He explains.
"You don't care if I never wake up." She grumbles.
Josh smiles, "Sure I do."
Maya spins around in his hold so that she is facing him at an arms distance, "Why?" She demands.
"Well then, because then I'd have to start taking out girls who actually like me." Josh teases.
"Like you could find one." Maya deadpans.
"Oh, see, that. There! Who needs affection when I have blind hatred?"
"Just let me sit down for a while." Maya starts backing up to the two swings behind her. Josh holds her hand as she reaches for the rope and sits down. He stands in between the two swings, shaking his head slightly at the situation he was in.
"Oh, shit!" Josh exclaims as Maya starts to fall backwards in the swing and once more grabs her before she hits the ground. Josh glances back over to the blonde to make sure she was steady before taking the swing beside her, "So why'd you let him get to you?" He questions her.
"Who?"
"Charlie."
"I hate him." She states, shaking her head and rolling her eyes.
"Well you've chosen the perfect revenge, mainlining Tequila." The two share a laugh.
"Well, you know what they say."
"Nope, what do they say?" Josh asks, when he doesn't get a response he looks back at Maya to see her eyes shut and her arms limp beside her, "No, no, no , no! Maya!" He grabs her arms and shakes them, "Come on, wake up, look at me!" He lightly slaps her cheek to regain her consciousness. "Listen to me, Maya, open your eyes!" He cups her cheek and gives it a little shake.
Maya slowly opens her eyes and Josh lets out a sigh of relief, her eyes follow him as he stands up looking down at her with a small smile, "Hey... you're eyes have a little green in them." Josh smiles at her and the two share a look before the Tequila strikes back on Maya and she lurches forward throwing up. Josh lightly strokes the back of her head to comfort her.
