Chapter 4

Rae looked herself over in the mirror in her room. Heather smirked as she continued to adjust her shirt and pants every now and then,

"Rae, you look fine."

Rae sighed,

"You think so?"

"Yeah."

Just then, Rae's phone started ringing. She dove across the bed and grabbed it,

"Hello?"

"Rae?"

"Hey Amanda, what's up?"

"I'm having a fucking crisis."

"What's wrong?"

Heather perked up,

"She okay?"

Rae held up her finger as Amanda answered,

"Randy's supposed to pick me up at 9, and I haven't found anything to wear yet."

Rae looked at the clock,

"Oh my God, Amanda, it's 8:30 now."

"I know, please come over."

Rae looked at Heather and nodded,

"We'll be there in a few."

"Ok, thanks."

Rae nodded and hung up the phone,

"Come on, we've gotta get going."

Heather dropped the magazine she was reading on Rae's bed,

"Where?"

"To Amanda's."

Heather followed Rae out the door. Mark watched as his daughter and her friend ran downstairs. He opened his mouth to speak, but they were already out the door. He shook his head and looked back at the car magazine he was reading.
Shawn was flipping through the channels on TV when there was an urgent banging on the door. He got up and walked over. When he answered the door, he was surprised to see Rae and Heather standing there,

"Rae, Heather, what are you doing here?"

Rae swallowed,

"Amanda called us, is she in her room?"

Shawn nodded and let them enter the house,

"Yeah, what's going on?"

They didn't answer and ran up the stairs. Shawn narrowed his eyes and followed them.
Rae knocked on the door and Amanda answered in only her bra and jeans,

"Oh my God, help me."

She pulled them into her room and screamed when she saw her Dad,

"Dad, please!"

Shawn quickly turned around,

"Sorry."

Amanda shut the door,

"Please, help me!"

Rae nodded and started sorting through Amanda's closet.
Randy was looking himself over in the mirror in his bedroom,

"Damn."

Brock shook his head from where he was reading a Sports Illustrated on Randy's bed,

"Man, you're too damn cocky."

Randy smirked and shrugged,

"It's what I'm known for."

Brock shook his head and sat on the edge of Randy's bed,

"Who all is gonna be there tonight?"

Randy shrugged,

"John said everyone was going to be."

Brock smirked,

"Yeah, sure they will be."

Randy smiled as he fixed his hair,

"I don't care, as long as Amanda's there."

Brock shook his head,

"You've really got it bad for her, don't you?"

Randy turned and looked at Brock,

"I can't help it. There's just something about her."

Brock shook his head,

"I'm only after one thing tonight."

Randy scoffed as he looked at himself again,

"There's a big shock."

Brock shook his head,

"Man, there are some fine ass girls in our school, and you've got your heart set on ONE, ain't no way in hell."

Randy smirked as he looked back at Brock,

"That's because I have a conscience Brock."

Brock grumbled something under his breath as Randy finished seeing to himself.
Jeff sighed as he looked himself over once more. He looked over and saw his brother Matt watching from the doorway. Matt smirked at his younger brother,

"Planning on gettin some tonight?"

Jeff glared at him,

"No. I just... never mind, YOU wouldn't understand."

Matt rolled his eyes,

"Whatever Jeff."

Jeff watched him go and shook his head before walking out the door.
John was wathcing from the window in his living room as cars started to enter his driveway. He smiled when he saw the black pick up that he knew was Rae's. He walked over and opened the door as his guests started to arrive. Rae smiled at him,

"Hey John."

John grinned,

"Hey."

Heather smirked,

"I'm just going to get a drink."

Rae nodded and watched Heather leave. John smiled as he looked her over,

"Wanna drink?"

Rae smiled and nodded,

"Something hard."

John grinned suggestively,

"I got that, but..."

Rae rolled her eyes and shook her head,

"Please, grow up."

John smiled at her,

"Me? Grow up? Damn, that's like you stayin out of trouble."

Rae shook her head as she and John went off in the same direction as Heather.
Amanda paced her room, constantly looking outside to see if she saw Randy arrive. She finally did and smiled as she ran downstairs. Shawn perked up,

"Where are you going?"

Amanda smiled,

"A party."

Shawn sighed and looked at her,

"No drink..."

"..ing, no drugs, and if I MUST have sex, use protection. I know Dad."

"Good, who's picking you up?"

Amanda groaned,

"Randy."

Shawn shot up from his chair,

"No!"

There was a knock on the door and Amanda opened it; she smiled at Randy,

"Give me a minute."

Randy nodded and she shut the door. Randy waited and then looked at the house as he heard the two inside arguing. From the sounds of it, Amanda was winning. She opened the door and smiled,

"Let's go."

Randy hesitated for a moment and then led her to his car.
Rae was pretty trashed already, she had been drinking strong mixed drinks and shots. She and John were sitting on the couch, neither of them in the best condition, when Amanda and Randy arrived. Amanda smirked when she saw how close Rae was to John,

"Rae's drunk."

Randy looked over and smirked,

"Yeah, she is."

Amanda smiled as she looked up at Randy,

"And I wanna be, so let's go."

Randy smiled and they pushed their way through the crowd to the kitchen. Rae looked at John and smiled at him,

"You know, you're really hot."

John smirked at Rae and gently touched her cheek,

"So are you."

Rae started laughing and John joined in. She leaned against him as her laughing began to quiet,

"I am so drunk."

John nodded in agreement,

"I am too."

Rae jumped up, but almost fell. John stood up slowly and helped her to stand. Rae smiled at him,

"Let's go."

John narrowed his eyes,

"Where?"

Rae leaned closer to him and whispered in his ear,

"To smoke."

John looked at her confused and then noticed the blunt she discreetly showed him. She nodded out of the room and he followed her.
Heather was relaxing out back, looking up at the sky, away from the crowd, and smoking a cigarette. She straightened up when she heard his familiar, gentle voice,

"Heather?"

Heather looked over her shoulder and smiled,

"Hey Jeff."

Jeff nodded toward the chair next to Heather,

"Mind if I join you?"

Heather shook her head,

"It'd be nice to have some company."

Jeff walked over and sat down next to Heather. She smiled at him,

"Jeff."

He looked at her,

"Yeah?"

Heather reached out and hugged him,

"I'm glad you're back."

Jeff smiled and closed his eyes as he returned the embrace. He really cared about Heather, but as close as they were, he didn't want to let his own feelings ruin that friendship. It was so important to the both of them.
Rae led John into the backyard. She let out a surprised yell when she spotted Heather and Jeff caught up in a passionate kiss. Heather pulled from Jeff and looked over at Rae,

"Rae, what are you doing out here?"

Rae smiled and held up her blunt,

"We're smokin, want in on it?"

Heather looked at Jeff and smiled. Jeff shrugged. They both got up and walked over as Rae lit the blunt. She took a long hit and handed it to John as she held her hit.
Rae and John were finishing the blunt alone, since Heather and Jeff went in to get a drink, but seemed to get lost on their way back. Rae closed her eyes when the blunt was finally gone, and let the high sink in. John looked at her with a smile,

"Rae."

She opened her eyes and smiled at him,

"Yeah?"

John back her against the side of the house and kissed her deeply. Rae wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to her, wanting to taste more of him. John pulled away from her and caught his breath. He brushed hair from her face,

"I've wanted you for so long."

Rae smiled and pulled him to her again to kiss him passionately. John ran his hand up under her shirt and Rae didn't protest.
Heather pushed Jeff back onto the bed, both of them were perfectly sober. Jeff smiled at her as she removed her shirt,

"Heather, when I told you, I didn't say it just to sleep with you."

Heather nodded as she kissed Jeff gently,

"I know. That makes me want to even more, because I know you're not going to use me."

Jeff pulled her down and rolled her onto her back,

"I would NEVER do that to you."

He leaned down and kissed her gently. Heather wrapped her arms around him and pulled him tightly against her.
Randy held Amanda's hand as he led her upstairs through a crowd of people. They went to go into a room, but Amanda's alcohol buzz went away when she saw Heather on top of Jeff on the bed. Randy quickly shut the door and looked at Amanda,

"Wow."

Amanda nodded in agreement. Randy smiled and then nodded further down the hall. Amanda happily followed him. He walked in before her and she grinned as she shut the door behind her. Randy looked at her with a smile and she quickly crossed the space between them to kiss Randy deeply and push him back on the bed.
