Jay rang the door bell again as Emma teetered on his arm. They probably should of held off the drink until the party, but what the hell. They were both broken. What did it matter?

The door opened and he was greeted by Towerz. "Yo, man, did you get a keg?"

Towerz sighed. "You can't be here." At his comment, both Emma and Jay started cracking up.

"Don't worry man. I brought some beer." Jay pushed a six pack towards the door.

"Amy is trying to sober up."

Emma wrapped her arms around Jay to keep upright. "So? You can tell her to leave. More for the rest of us."

"Sorry. You two can't be here." Towerz tried to shut the door, but Jay forced himself in. He looked around before laughing.

"You probably didn't want us to see the party. It's sad, dude. But I know how to livin it up." Against Towerz protests, Jay jumped up onto a chair in the lobby. "Beer for everyone! Liquor, Kiddies, Beer!"

If he didn't draw attention beforehand, this guarenteed that he was the spotlight. Sully and Alex stopped dancing, along with the rest of the people. Jay scanned the room before he saw-

"Alex?!" Everything feel silent before Jay jumped off the chair. He began to advance towards his ex-girlfriend. "You like dancing, Lexy? So much that you'll dance with this prep? Well, if you want to dance, we'll dance."

Towerz ran in to diffuse the situation. "Man, just leave. Don't make an ass out of yourself."

"An ass out of myself? Look at Alex. She's being a whore just so she can dance."

That was it. Sully had enough. He pushed Jay into a wall. The drunk boy responded by laughing hysterically. "Your protecting that whore? Didn't you know? She's a bitch." Jay would have gone on, had Sully not decked him in the face. The DJ, Chris, ran over to hold Sully back.

Jay backed off the wall, slowly, and wiped the blood off his mouth. He turned towards Alex. "You don't even know who you're messing with. With you gone, I'm not held back. I can screw anybody I want, drink all I want, steal all I want. My friends will let me?"

Amy stormed into the room. "Your friends? Who's that? Emma Nelson and Spinner Mason. Get the hell out of my house, and take your beer with you- or better yet," Amy ripped the six pack out of Emma hands and threw it out into the night. "Drink it off the sidewalk." In a matter of second, Towerz and Amy threw the drunk couple out of the house.

Alex stood in the middle of the living room, without words. In a matter of moments, her happiness turned into shock. She could distantly hear people leaving, and Amy promising to reschedule to the party; She also heard Towerz telling his girlfriend how proud he was of her. Alex made a mental note to the same, after she murdered Jay.

"Are you okay?" Sully asked, walking up to her. Alex nodded. "So, can I walk you home?"

"You didn't bring your car?"

He smiled, and then shrugged. "I don't drive. I kind of, never, er, passed the test. I just -used- to ride to school with my friends. Now, I just walk. In fact, I'm so good at it now that I can take you home and walk to my house. All in one night."

Alex laughed. "Fine, you can walk me home. I'm going to say good bye to Towerz and Amy."

"Okay, I'm going to go compliment the DJ." Alex walked into the lobby, where Towerz was still complimenting Amy. Amy looked up.

"Oh, Alex, I'm so sorry." She said, before hugging Alex.

"It's okay, Amy. Jay's an ass." Towerz nodded at his friends comment.

"Do you need a ride home?"

Alex noticed Sully walking towards the lobby. "Actually, Sully's walking me home."

Like a lightblub, Amy's face lit up. "Make sure you kiss him goodnight. After all, he's your knight in Abercrombie armour." Towerz laughed, and Alex was about to protest when Sully walked up to her.

"Ready to go?" He said, pulling on his hoodie.

"Yeah." Alex said goodbye to her friends and the two walked out into the night. Sully noticed that Alex didn't have a coat, so he pulled off his hoodie.

"Here."

"What?" Alex frowned looking at the offering. "No, you'll freeze."

"Nah, I'll be fine."

"But you've done so much for me."

He shrugged. "You saved me from complete and utter boredom." They walked in silence until they reached Alex's house, and she tapped him on the shoulder.

"This is my house. Sully, thank you." Alex said, as if gratitude was foriegn to her. "For everything. For sticking up for me. For making me laugh. For not caring what your friends think."

"My friends, eh? At this point my only friends are you and the DJ. They were never my friends. Don't get me wrong, I'm an asshole and I don't think that's ever going to change, but they were jerks. I'd trade them for you any day." Both became aware of how close they were, and out of nowhere, Alex impulsively hugged him.

"Thank you." She whispered before running up to her house.

Sully stood up at the curb watching her run up the stairs. She was really truely unique to anyone he ever meet. Suddenly, Alex turned and ran back. "Sully! You're hoodie!"

"Oh, thanks." Alex slung it over Sully's shoulder playfully, and to help her along, he leaned forward. Their lips met, and Sully wrapped his arms around her. The hoodie was soon forgotten.
