Landry had never been more relieved to be away from everyone. He got his his Papi's old, red Chevy and just began cruising down the local roads. He had no music playing, and his cellphone on silent. As he turned onto Bennett Road, he began hearing music blasting outside his car, that only got louder and louder as he made his way to the end of the street. It wasn't until he hit the corner house, the Peacham house, that he remembered Bozeman mentioning the other day about having a crazy party while his parents were off at some business convention promoting their weird biblical diet plan. There were cars lining up all along the curb, many he noticed, were from school. He watched the house for a minute, contemplating going in, until he noticed three gorgeous looking blonde's all walking towards the back yard in their tiny pink, blue, and yellow string bikini's
"I'll only go in for a minute." he thought pulling over about three houses back in between a green and light blue beetle car, with the license plate "SEXYTXASS" on the back of the light blue one.
He walked up the block and went to the backyard where almost a hundred crazy high school graduates were partying in and around the pool area.
"Hey! Hey!" He heard a familiar voice yell from inside the pool. "Landry! Ya made it!" It was Bozeman holding two brown glass bottles of Budwiser in between two of the three hot blonds he had noticed coming in. "What are you doin' dressed all fancy like that?!" He asked starting to slur his words
"Oh..." Landry said noticing how out of place he looked in his nice dress shirt, pants, and tie. "Well, I'm only dropping by, I'm supposed to be at my...going away party..."
"Oh ya! You still goin' to that place?" he asked taking a big gulp of beer. "Word on the street is y'all screwed 'round after prom that night and now Laura's knocked up and stuff, cause of you!"
Landry was floured, it hadn't even been forty-eight hours and already the whole town was talking about it.
"Where did you hear that?" Landry asked getting closer to the edge of the pool.
"Mckinney told me this morning!"
"Right..." Landry nodded slowly. "How did she hear about it"
"Hell if I know! Guessin' yur girl told her or somthin'!"
This was exactly what Landry didn't need to hear. He was about to explain why he couldn't go to Texas, when out of nowhere came this large, drunk boy carrying a gallon of what Landry assumed was beer, running along the pool yelling random words of profanity. He was clearly too drunk to see where he was really going and consequently slammed into Landry, causing him to belly-flop into the pool, while the crazy drunk continued running along like nothing ever happened.
"Crap!" Landry yelled looking at himself dripping wet in his nice clothes. "How the Hell am I supposed to explain this to my parents?!"
"Relax dude!" Bozeman said handing him the unopened bottle of beer. "Drink this!"
Landry looked down at the bottle wondering if this would actually help anything.
"Go on!" Bozeman said taking another big gulp.
"You really think it will help...?" Landry asked extremely unsure.
"Hell yeah! I mean bro, you must be so freaked n' whatever 'bout the baby, this'll fix ya right up!"
Slowly, Landry brought the bottle to is mouth and took a large sip. It was cold and bitter with a puke-like aftertaste, but it made his head spinning as it was going down and for a couple of seconds, he was actually able to relax.
"That's just the beginnin' Landry! Go on! Chug er' down!"
Landry continued to drink every last drop of beer in that bottle. It was great, after only one beer he was already starting to feel more at ease. He got out of the pool, his clothes still soaking wet, and went over to the bright red cooler that was filled to the brim with Budwiser, Miller Lights, and every other beer imaginable. He grabbed two more bottles of Coors, and jumped back into the pool. He knew it was extremely rude leaving his own party his grandparents had worked so hard to put together for him, but at last, he was able to just kick back, and be a teenager again.
After his fifth bottle of beer, he was extremely drunk. He tried to find Bozeman in the mess of teens and broken beer bottles, but he was so dizzy that everyone looked the like the same blurred up mess. He made his way over to the snack counter, grabbing a handful of salt n' vinegar chips and a rainbow sprinkle-topped brownie and placed it on a super model covered paper plate. He began gobbling down a brownie when he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder.
"Hi!" he heard a teenage girl say behind him.
"Hi." Landry turned around with a big chunk of brownie still in his mouth. It was Alexandra, wearing a white see-through cover-up that left little to the imagination. "Uh..." he said looking at her pink and black striped bikini that covered up he gorgeous C cups Landry had secretly dreamed about for years. "How's your summer been?"
"Lousy." she said grabbing a piece of brownie off of Landry's plate and eating it. "Oklahoma's being a pain in the ass about my cheer scholarship, my parents got into a fight so now my daddy spends, like, all his time at the ranch, leaving me alone with my crazy, up-tight mama, and Bozeman and I broke up, maybe fifteen minutes ago after I caught him sucking the life out of some chick." she said rolling her eyes as she bit off the last piece of her brownie.
"Well," Landry said putting his hand on her shoulder. "Not sure how to help you with the first two, but Bozeman's an asshole, don't worry 'bout him."
"He's your best friend!" Alexandra said laughing.
"Which means I know how big an asshole he can get!" Alexandra slapped him playfully on his arm. "Hey now, I only speak the truth!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Alexandra said taking a chip off of his plate. "Bet you think you're hotter than him to." she said rubbing her hand down his long, strong, right arm.
"Well I'd like to think so!" Landry said still slurring then rolled his right sleeve up to flex the muscle.
"Oh Landry, you're such a big show-off." Alexandra said placing both hands on his shoulders and looking up at him with her beautiful blue eyes. "I bet every college girl on campus is going to be falling head over heels for you...I know I would." Landry looked at her puzzled. "Don't give me that look! I mean, you must know you're, like, one of the hottest guys in Hillside, right?"
This was a dream come true. Before Laura moved in, Landry had had a secret crush on Alexandra since the seventh grade when their teacher, Ms. Hamilton, paired the two of them together for their end of the year English project. Their assignment was to reenact their favorite scene from a classic novel that was assigned to them and they, much to Landry's dismay were assigned Little Women. Alexandra had insisted that they do the scene where Laurie kisses Jo and proposes to her, and when the time came to present it, instead of the fake stage kiss they had originally planned on, Alexandra surprised him with a big smooch on the cheek. He was in such awe of her at that moment that he didn't even care that he was prancing around the class room in the most ridiculous black suit and, and it almost made the book not completely insipid.
As Landry and Alexandra continued to casually flirt with each other, he realized the best thing about this situation, was this beer gave him full confidence to say whatever was on his mind instead of getting choked up, like her normally did when he's around her, Laura, or any other hot girl. It was even strong enough to make him not realize how horrible he was being to Laura. It wasn't that he didn't love her, because he did and she was having his kid, but being with Alexandra made him feel normal, and at the moment, all Laura did was remind him of everything that was going on around him. He grabbed another beer from the cooler under the snack table.
"Want one?" he offered handing a bottle of John Adams maybe a little too close to her face. She smiled and began chugging it down like there was no tomorrow. Landry got himself one, and the two of them stood there by the table drinking and having slurred conversations with each other. After her third and Landry's seventh, Alexandra told him that she left her phone upstairs in Mckinney's room from when she was over yesterday.
Landry followed her up the long wooden staircase and led him to Mckinney's room. He had seen the door that was decorated with her name in light pink letter's with a fabric daisy vine going around them tons of times when he went over to visit Bozeman, but he had never actually been in there.
"Do you see it anywhere?" Landry asked slowly scanning the seemingly blurry, pink room.
"Don't be an idiot, Landry!" she said looking at him with her eyes glaring at him seductively. "I don't need no phone up here!"
Landry looked confused..
"Well...what do you need then?"
She suddenly untied the halter strap of her white bathing suit cover up, and it slowly began to fall down her body and onto the floor, revealing her hot pink and black striped bikini. Landry looked down her flawless, tan body, trying his hardest to resist it.
"Landry," she said coming closer to him, putting her soft delicate hands on his shoulders. "I've been wanting you for so, so long." she brought her lips closer and closer to his and before he knew it they were making out passionately.
It was nice for at first, Laura had been so stressed about the baby that they hadn't kissed in almost twenty four hours, nearly a century as far as Landry was concerned, but it wasn't the same, it felt wrong and dirty, nothing like Laura at all. After only a few seconds, her lips started feeling so icky and dry, he could no longer stand it.
"Alexandra!" he shouted shoving her back away from them.
"What's the matter baby? Ain't this what you've always wanted from me?" she tried to get closer to him again, but Landry quickly backed away and fumbled onto Mckinney's bed.
"Oh I see!" she said then jumped on the bed on top of him and continued kissing him as he tried to push her away. Her breath tasted like beer and bubblegum lip gloss, and he wasn't sure if she was doing this purposefully or was just too drunk to have control over anything. He kept trying to push away until he suddenly heard the bedroom door squeak open revealing Mckinney standing there in to doorway looking horrified.
"Mckinney!" Landry shouted finally pushing Alexandra away.
"Landry?!" she shouted walking into her room "What the hell are you two doing in here?!"
Landry looked around the room realizing what this probably looked like to Mckinney.
"I...I can explain."
"Landry!" Alexandra shouted out of nowhere. "How dare you try and come on to me when you know your girlfriend's expecting!" she reprimanded.
Landry's eye's widened he may have still been drunk, but he wasn't oblivious to what had just happened.
"What?! Me?! Mckinney, no! She told me she had to find her phone so I came up here and-"
"Just save the lies, Landry." Alexandra said getting off the bed. "No one's gonna wanna believe your made-up stories."
She walked over to Mckinney and the two of them stood there, staring down at him on the bed.
"Do you believe he did that to me?! He got me all drunken up then tried to have his way with me, the pervert!" he heard Alexandra whisper to her.
"Oh my God, Mckinney, do you actually believe that crap?! I love Laura, I would never cheat on her, she's having my kid!"
"Then why did you try to get me to sleep with you, you pig?!" Alexandra shouted.
"Because I didn't, you whore!" he stood up and shouted at her without thinking.
"That's it!" Mckinney yelled hugging Alexandra close to her "Get the Hell out of my room, my house, and don't think I'm not going to tell Laura what you did!"
"For the millionth time, Mckinney I didn't do anything! Don't you know me better than that?" he asked sincerely.
"I thought so." she said glaring at him. "But I also thought I knew you well enough to know you would never get one of my best friends pregnant!"
Landry had no response to that. He angrily made his way across the room to the doorway, shoved past the girls, and marched downstairs to the front door.
"Hey dude! Where ya goin'?" he heard Bozeman call out from the bathroom in between puking up all his beer.
"I'll txt you later. I gotta get out of here, man."
"What? Is Laura in-" Landry heard puking from the other side of the bathroom door. "Ugh! Sorry. God, I feel like Hell! Hey, she ain't in labor or somethin' right?"
"What? No!" he called back. "Like I said I'll text you later." And he ran out the door and headed straight to his grandpa's car.
Author's Note: A little but longer a chapter than I intended but that's mostly because it has more dialouge. As mentioned in the last chapter, if you guys wouldn't mind just letting me know what you think, I would really appreciate it!
