*Thank you to my faithful readers (Gracie, Nat, and Melody) for reviewing!
Melody, don't feel like an idiot- I sometimes get behind and don't realize
people updated their stories =) And yes, my story is still during
Christmas. Sorry I'm so far behind but I couldn't skip Christmas since I
already skipped Thanksgiving! lol. At this rate I'll get to Easter by
Thanksgiving time! Anyway, hope you all like!*
"Merry Christmas!" Trina yelled as she entered her dad's house with Ed, Dan, Cal, and about 30 other people they picked up along the way. Most of them were there to get away from their family for a little while. Jack was visiting his cousins in Colorado until the next day. "My dad won't be home until about 7am and it's barely midnight now, so we have plenty of time!"
Most of the people immediately went to Jack's liquor cabinet and pulled out bottles of vodka, rum, and any other kind of alcohol they could find. Ed settled on a bottle of Smirnoff and sat on the couch. Usually he was up for a good party, but not tonight. He was too angry to care about a dumb party.
Trina came over to him and tried to flirt with him. "I really missed you Ed. I know it wasn't that long, but it seemed like it's been forever since we've been together. I can't wait to get started up again." She started kissing Ed's neck and rubbing around his stomach. Ed, however, wasn't the least bit interested in Trina. He looked over at Dan, who was downing glasses of vodka and talking to Cal, who was smoking a joint. Another kid turned on the radio that was in the living room to the highest volume.
"No offense Trina. I'm glad we're friends, but I really don't want to do that right now."
"That's ok baby. We can just take it to the next level. Come on, let's go to my room before someone else beats us to it." Trina grabbed Ed's hand and tried to get him off the couch, but he wouldn't move.
"Trina, no."
"Excuse me?"
"I said no."
Trina raised her eyebrows. "Oh hell no. You just did not say no to me. Do you even understand how many guys would kill for the chance to even have one night of passion with me?"
"Go find one of those guys then. I'm not interested."
"Ok, fine. I thought you loved me!" Trina ran off with tears in her eyes to what Ed thought was her bedroom. What he didn't know is that she just went into the kitchen where Dan was drinking alone.
"Hey Dan. I need to talk to you."
"Why sure I'll talk to you Trixie. I mean, Trina! Yeah that's it. Trista!" Dan laughed again as he set down what was his 6th glass of vodka.
Seeing that she had tears in her eyes, Dan was suddenly concerned. "What's wrong Trina?"
"Take me Dan. Now!" Trina threw Dan down on the kitchen table and aggressively started kissing him. Dan was a little shocked, but he was so drunk that he probably didn't even know what was going on. They ripped off each other's clothes in a quick fashion and were soon having sex on the kitchen table.
Cal decided to join Ed on the couch. "Hey man, I saw what happened with Trina. What was up with her?"
Ed groaned a little. "Oh she's just being herself. I'm sure you know by now that we used to go out. She just wanted to start something up again and I didn't want to, so she got kind of mad."
"She's just trying to get some attention I'm sure. Here, this will help to relax you a little bit," Cal said, handing Ed a joint and a lighter.
Ed contemplated whether or not to light it. He had never done drugs before, and he didn't even think about doing them until tonight. But he did need to relax and get his mind off Mia, and apparently Trina, so maybe it would help.
"Sure why not. Want to go outside on the porch though? It's not too cold out I don't think."
"Yeah let's go." Cal followed Ed into the bedroom where everyone had put their coats and grabbed them and then went outside. As they went outside they realized that the music was so loud that it had been vibrating the house and a few other houses on the street.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Port Charles...
"Happy Holidays. Eat some fruit its good for you!" Lucy sang out in her usual Christmas Eve greeting.
Makala looked at her parents and giggled as she remembered Ed's imitation of Lucy the other night. She then walked into the other room to hang out with Angie. Everyone was mingling and having fun until all of a sudden someone shouted out, "The police are here!"
Lucy and Kevin looked at each other in disbelief. Why in the world would the police be here?
"Ok everyone stay calm. I'll go see what they want," Kevin said as he grabbed a sweater and went out the front door.
"What seems to be the problem officers?"
"We have a report of loud music, underage drinking, and drugs here."
Kevin laughed. "What? This is a very casual family and friends Christmas Eve party. I can assure you that there are no underage drinkers here. There are minors, yes, but none of them are drinking. And there are especially no drugs here!"
The two police officers looked at each other in disbelief and looked over the report. "The report we have here says loud music, underage drinking, and drugs at 244 South St. This was called in by the neighbor."
Kevin laughed again, although this time it was an "I can't believe this" laugh. "This is 244 Soy St., NOT South."
The officers looked at the street sign again. "Sorry about the inconvenience sir. Have a Merry Christmas."
"Yeah, you two." As they walked back to their cars, Kevin mumbled under his breath, "I hope someone gets you two some glasses for Christmas."
Lucy and Livvie ran out to see what was wrong. "Doc, what was the problem?"
"Oh nothing. They just thought this was 244 South St., where apparently there is a loud party going on with drinking and drugs."
Livvie's face turned pale as she realized something. "Oh my gosh, that's Jack's house! He's out of town until tomorrow morning. And Trina is probably over there. She said she was going to go find Ed and see what he was doing tonight."
"Well then you better get over there, Livvie, and stop the party before the cops do. I'll let Rafe and Alison know."
Livvie sighed angrily. "Oh I'll stop it alright, and ground Trina until she's old, white, and crippled!"
"You know Livvie, Trina wouldn't be like this if you would pay a little more attention to her and discipline her better instead of letting her do whatever she wants whenever you get tired of listening to her whine," Lucy said, after running back in to grab Livvie's coat and car keys.
"Whatever Lucy. Don't make this like it was 16 years ago. I didn't need to hear your advice then, and I sure don't need to hear it now. Dad, I'll have Trina call you later."
"Ok. Good lucky Honey," Kevin said, giving his daughter a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks." Livvie was about to turn and leave when she almost ran into someone. Right in front of her was Rafe and Alison with a very tired and sick looking Makala. They all glared at each other for a moment before Livvie spoke up. "Hello Alison, Rafe. How are you doing sweetie?" Livvie asked, smiling at Makala.
"I'm ok, but I've been coughing and sneezing and my throat hurts now. My mom and dad want us to go before it gets any worse."
"Well, I hope you feel better."
"Thank you."
Lucy bit her lip as she contemplated what to say. "Um, Alison, Rafe, how would you feel about Makala staying here overnight? You know, since you all are coming over tomorrow morning to open presents and all."
"Normally we would love to have her stay here Lucy, but I think she might be coming down with the flu. I don't want her to stay anywhere else but home tonight."
"Well, I think you'll change your mind when I tell you this." Lucy pulled Alison and Rafe aside to explain the situation. She barely got the last sentence out before Alison was fuming.
"This is all your fault!" Alison screamed at Livvie. "If you gave one damn about your daughter, my son wouldn't be in this situation in the first place. Do you have any idea at all how to raise a child?!"
"Wait a minute, my daughter did not make your son go to that party or anything. He chose to go on his own. So back off and go practice some witchcraft or something!"
"Hey! That's enough out of both of you. While you two are wasting time arguing, our children could very well be getting in a lot of trouble. So let's go stop it before someone else does," Rafe said, hoping to calm them both. "And Makala, I'm going to have you stay over here for a while. I don't know what time we will be back, but I promise we will be back by tomorrow morning, ok? Aunt Lucy and Uncle Kevin have plenty of medicine so make sure you take some. And go to bed soon so you can get your rest! I love you." Rafe gave Makala a hug.
Alison gave her a hug as well. "Get your rest so you can feel better soon. We'll be back before you know it. I love you sweetheart."
"I love you too Mom, Dad. Tell Ed I said Merry Christmas, ok?"
"Sure thing. Bye! See you in the morning." Rafe, Alison and Livvie went in to get Ian and Eve since Dan was supposed to be with Trina and Cal. They got to Jack's house but apparently not soon enough. They arrived there to find Trina, Dan and Ed in handcuffs.
"What's going on?" asked a very concerned Eve.
"Folks, your children here, and I assume they are your children, are on their way to the juvenile jail for possession of drugs and underage drinking."
As they put the kids in the cars, Rafe threw down his keys in anger. "Damnit!"
"Merry Christmas!" Trina yelled as she entered her dad's house with Ed, Dan, Cal, and about 30 other people they picked up along the way. Most of them were there to get away from their family for a little while. Jack was visiting his cousins in Colorado until the next day.
