"NICKY GET OUT!" Tricia screamed as she knocked on the bathroom door. "MOOOM."
"I'M GETTING OUT," Nicky shouted back.
"Do you want to stop screaming?" Red went to the bathroom door and glared at Tricia. "Nicky get out! You've taken enough time in this shower."
"You don't know how to wait?" Nicky said to Tricia as she opened the bathroom door. Without answering and without waiting for her sister to leave, Tricia entered the bathroom in a hurry.
"It looks like you're really excited for this party," Red said when she saw Nicky coming out of the bathroom. "You even washed your hair."
"It'll be fun," Nicky said going to her room wrapped in a towel, Red was right behind. "Can you drop me at Alex's house? We're going to have a pre party."
"A pre party? Hmm." Red said crossing her arms. "Do you want help choosing your outfit?"
"Ma, no, I'm not a child anymore!" Nicky said dragging Red out of her room.
"Ok, ok, I get it," Red laughed and left her daughter's room.
Opening the wardrobe, Nicky took a "Make America Gay Again" T-shirt and a ripped jeans to wear. Then she put on her boots and put some mascara.
Nicky usually never takes time to dress up, but she wanted to be presentable today. Maybe Lorna would be delighted. No. She doesn't need Lorna.
"I'm ready, take me to Alex?" Nicky said going to her mother's room.
"We need to wait for your sister to come out of the shower."
"Aaargh," Nicky grunted and threw herself on the bed next to her mother.
Red laughed and stroked her daughter's damp hair. "How's this party going to be?"
"Well you know... We will listen to music, swim in the pool, eat some snacks..." Nicky said laying down on Red's lap and enjoying the affection.
"Any alcoholic drinks at this party?" Red asked seriously.
"Ma, no." Nicky rolled her eyes. "Just juice and soda I think."
"Hmm," Red hummed. "I would love it if you just took juice, soda is not good for you."
"It's a party Ma, can you stay out of my ass? for a bit?" Nicky laughed when she felt a slap on the back of her head.
As soon as Tricia was ready, Nicky and Red got up and went to the car. Nicky was extremely anxious, and Tricia was still a little upset that she couldn't keep up with her sister, but hopefully Mercy would sleep in her house today.
"Can I at least go with you at this pre-party?" Tricia asked hopefully.
"No!" Nicky replied quickly.
"Honey, there will be no one of your age there." Red tried to comfort her little one who was already crying.
Arriving at Alex's house, Nicky kissed her mother and saw her younger sister holding her cry. "Tricia, I can't take you."
"Of course you can, but you don't want to!" Tricia answered crying.
"I can't have fun having to watch you all the time," Nicky said, looking at her sister. Tricia knew how to make her feel guilty.
"Tricia enough of crying, tomorrow your sister will spend time with you, okay?" Red tried to calm Tricia and glanced at Nicky.
Rolling her eyes, Nicky replied. "Yeah... tomorrow I'll be all yours, okay?" Nicky smiled, said good-bye, and headed for Alex's house.
Xoxoxoxo
"Hey, I thought you wouldn't come!" Alex said pulling Nicky into her house.
"Sorry." Nicky chuckled. "My sister got a temper tantrum, she wanted to come."
"Why didn't you bring her?" Alex asked.
"Are you kidding? She's just a spoiled brat," Nicky murmurs.
"You're a spoiled brat," Alex teased.
"Shut up!" Nicky saw Diane entering the room and went to greet her. "Hey Diane," she said giving the woman a hug.
"Hi Nicky, how are you? How's your mother?" Diane answered brightly.
"Fine, she's fine." Nicky smiled. "How are you?"
"Oh I'm great dear, don't you have a party to go?" Diane said sitting on the couch and turning on the TV.
"Yes, let's go." Alex said as she picked up her things.
"I thought the pre-party would be here," Nicky said confused.
"We decided to do it at Piper's house, so the party could start earlier"
Nicky nodded and picked up her things as she followed Alex to the exit. Both girls said good-bye to Diane and walked to Piper's house, which wasn't far from there.
"I can't believe Piper's parents let her have a party," Nicky chuckled.
"They didn't, they went to travel and then Piper decided to have a secret party," Alex said in amusement.
"Are you serious?" Nicky asked in surprise. "My mother will kill me if she knows that."
"She will not know Nick," Alex rolled her eyes at her friend's fear of her mother. Well, and rightly so, Red was intimidating.
The party had already begun. Everyone was having fun, Alex and Piper were catching up somewhere. Luschek, a colleague of Piper's school, brought vodka. Most of them was already drunk, including Lorna, she was in the pool jumping to the music. That fucking girl.
"Nicky come back to the pool!" Lorna shouted at Nicky. "Come dance with me!"
"I'm cold." Nicky smiled at Lorna. "Fuck it." Rolling her eyes, Nicky jumped into the pool with Lorna.
"YAAY," Lorna shouted as she hugged Nicky. "Why didn't you drink?"
"Are you crazy? I still have to go home, my mother would kill me," Nicky said, hugging Lorna back. "I'm cool with my soda."
Lorna grunted and rolled her eyes. "Boring..." she said as she stared at Nicky.
Nicky laughed and stared back at her. After a while it started to get weird. "What is it?"
Surprisingly, Lorna kissed her. It was a warm and lingering kiss. Nicky was definitely not expecting it, but she let herself go. The kiss was interrupted when everyone around them started shouting in celebration. Then it began to rain.
"This is God saying that he wants us together," Nicky said, smiling at Lorna.
"I'm sure it is," Lorna laughed. The two girls left the pool and began to dance in the rain.
Xoxoxoxo
It was almost past midnight, Nicky was having so much fun, and ahe didn't want to leave so soon. And she couldn't help it, she ended up drinking some vodka. She wasn't ready to face her mother today. Going to a quiet part of Piper's house, Nicky picked
/up her cellphone and decided to call her mother.
"Hi Ma," Nicky said sympathetically.
"Nicky is almost 00h," Red replied quickly. "Are you coming home? Do you want me to pick you up?"
"About that..." Nicky murmured. "Can I sleep here today?"
"No way, Nicky, your sister is waiting for you." Red replied seriously.
"Mommy, please. Piper's going to need help cleaning up the mess when the party's over," Nicky whined, "you always say I need to help people."
"Nicky..." Red took a deep breath. She couldn't believe she was about to do that. "Okay Nicky, but tomorrow I'll pick you up early. Be ready."
"Thank you Momny," Nicky smiled.
"And tomorrow you're going to have to spend the day with Trish," Red recalled, "she'll be very disappointed when she finds out you're not coming back."
"Mercy isn't sleeping there?" Nicky asked.
"She's traveling and she couldn't come," Red sighed. "Nicky, you stay out of the rain, I don't want you to get sick."
Nicky's eyes widened. "Uh... Ok Ma, I need to go now," he said quickly. "Good night, see you tomorrow."
"Goodnight baby, I love you." Red replied.
"I love you," Nicky said, hanging up her cell phone and returning to the party.
