Chapter 37 The Party
The next few weeks were filled with change, Carlos began therapy him and Jay seemed closer than ever. Evie was getting alot of foot traffic for her fashion boutique. The Fairy Godmother loves Mal's painting of what the school represents. Freddie joined the Auradon orchestra, and Ben got the court date pushed back. All and all it's been a fantastic couple of weeks. Now it was time to make it even better with a surprise.
"Jay, I'm tired can't we just go back to our room" Carlos groaned, he looked much better than he did before, his long hair is back to white and brown instead of a dingy yellowish color. He wore his hair slicked back instead of hanging over his face. His color returned and he even gained a bit of weight. He still needed crutches but nurses say his leg will heal soon. He wore wristbands on his wrist to cover the scars he made.
"Trust me you'll love this" Jay patted the smaller boy's back, Carlos groaned desperately and continued walking down the dark corridor.
"Not exactly the easiest to get around on crutches babe" Carlos says clearly not trying to keep up with his taller boyfriend.
"Pup either hurry up or i'll carry you" Jay teased causing Carlos to glare at him they got a large door at the end of the hallway.
"In ya go" Jay practically shoved the boy in. The lights turned on blinding them both.
"SURPRISE!" Everyone in the room cheered. Red, white and black balloons filled the room with a white cake on the table with black spots. Banners hung from the wall with the name CARLOS on it written in white with black spots. Over black and white crossbones. Everyone was in there Mal, Ben, Jane, Al,Lonnie, Freddie, Doug holding Dude. Even Ally, Jordan, Tiana and Melody.
"What's all this?" Carlos asked, he was in a state of disbelief seeing all of this.
"Well we know you've been going through a hard time lately with all of this stuff going on" Evie started, she smiled at her friend.
"So we threw you a rockin party to show you ya got friends to help you through it
" Freddie finished, she leaned on Evie's shoulder for support.
"You did all this for me? You shouldn't have" Carlos smiled shyly, a blush forming on his cheeks.
"Of course we should've you're very special to us all of us" Jay faced his boyfriend, Carlos peaked him on the cheek and turned to the crowd.
" I hope you're okay with this" Ben said hopefully, Carlos laughed to himself. He nodded confirming that he was okay with the party.
"Let's do this people, show Auradon how you get down" Jordan pulled out her phone and begin to record.
"OHAY OHAY HEY!" The whole group chanted, Lonnie turned on the music as Mal and Evie stood by the mics.
"Let's set it off ohh yea, you can make it happen ohay ohay hey" The duo sang to the crowd.
The party went on like this, everyone singing along and dancing. Dude somehow got in the punchbowl, CJ was hiding under the snack table stealing food. Jane conjured up some pumpkin themed desserts.
"Made you something" Evie handed Carlos a box. He raised an eyebrow wondering what it could possibly be.
"Open it" Evie smiled excitedly ushering him to open the box. The younger teen quickly unwrapped it and pulled out a black jacket with red sleeves and a white interior. On the back in big white letters spelled out the word WICKED. Under it was Jay's cobra, Mal's heart shaped dragons, Evie's cracked crown and Carlos's crossbones.
" Wow Evie I love it" Carlos smiled pulling the jacket on him.
"Some of my best work if I do say so myself and I do" She said with a well placed hair flip. Carlos rested his head on Jay's shoulder enjoying the sight of his friends having fun.
"I love you pup" Jay kissed Carlos's forehead lovingly, Carlos grabbed the older boy's collar and pulled him into a proper kiss.
"Jay, Carlos it's your line" Jane ran to them holding out a microphone, the two smirked to one another. Carlos took the microphone and held it between them.
"Let's make it happen now
I'm a make my own future
Ignore all the rumors
Show 'em how passion sound!
They all told me I should back down
Judgin' me cuz of my background
Thinkin' 'bout changin' my path now!
Nah I ain't goin' out like that now!" The two sang in perfect unison causing everyone to cheer.
"Feelin the power let it all out like what you see in the mirror shout" Freddie sang this as she grabbed Ben smirking. He lifted her up playfully and placed her down spinning her in the process.
"We got the keys to kingdom ours" He sang as the room kept chanting. Jay picked Carlos up bridal style and made his way to the dance floor. The younger if the two laughing hard. Jane placed tinted shades on Carlos face and smiled at her best friend.
"EVERYONE GET TOGETHER" She called out motioning for everyone to squeeze in. The crowd all gathered together as Jane took a group selfie.
THAT NIGHT (Dream sequence)
Mal walked down a cold stone floor, the floor was a trail leading in one specific direction. She turned around seeing Carlos with a malevolent smirk on his face, Jay glaring, Evie holding an apple like it's the most precious thing on earth and herself holding a glowing spell book.
"Wicked Ways beneath the skin let all who taste it now join in" Mal turned hearing her voice reciting the spell. Her heart pounded against her chest hearing those words.
"WE GOT ALL THE WAYS TO BE W-I-C-K-E-D WE GOT ALL THE WAYS TO BE W-I-C-K-E-D" the wicked 4 sang in unison. Mal turned around noticing down the path was her. She looked exactly like Mal but the look 9n her face screamed pure evil.
" GO AWAY!" Mal screamed. The evil Mal smirked pointing to an opening.
"I carry on like a princess but man I got them fooled cause underneath my business I am cold and hard I'm cruel" She sang sliding on chairs and leaping on the floor.
"I was under a spell that's not me" Mal growled, the evil Mal wickedly laughed, she turned into green smoke.
"YOU CAN'T DENY WHO YOU TRULY ARE!" Maleficent voice rang in her ears.
Dream sequence ended.
Mal jumped up terrified by what she just saw. She looked around the dark room, seeing Evie sleeping soundly in her bed. Mal took a couple of deep breaths to steady her heart beat.
"Mom whatever you have planned for me I'm ready" Mal glared out of the window her eyes glowing sickly shade of green.
BOYS DORM.
Jay opened his eyes to continuous stirring in the bed.
"Can't sleep?" Jay asked Cruella's son, she sighed shaking his head
"Just some nightmares my therapist says it's PTSD" Carlos clutched onto the pillow, Jay hugged him from behind, he kissed his neck lovingly. The younger of the two let out a pleased moan.
" Jay?" Carlos called the arabian.
"Yea?" he asked burying his face into Carlos's neck.
"Do you want to have sex with me?" Carlos asked him curiously. Jay's eyes burst open, he sat up clearly not expecting that question.
"Um, like right now?" Jay asked slightly terrified. Carlos chuckled to himself.
"No silly, I mean ever" Carlos turned to him so they could look each other in the eye.
" I mean, I've thought about it. I would if you wanted to I guess" Jay blushed embarrassed to be discussing this. Carlos cuddled into him eyes closing.
"I want you to make love to me" Carlos stated to him, Jay's tan face turned bright red. Carlos eyes held all seriousness.
" Not today, maybe not even this year but I want you to eventually" Carlos cupped Jay's cheek leaning into a passionate kiss. Jay deepened the kiss, he placed a hand on Carlos's cheek.
"I love you" Carlos said as he pulled back. Jay placed his forehead on Carlos's.
"I love you too" Jay said. The couple slowly drifted off to sleep.
