Chapter 21: Only The Lonely

"Hey what's going on?" Jenny asked Craig after noticing him in the crowd.

Craig paused for a second Jenny looked really different with the long dark wig on she reminded him of someone but he couldn't put his finger on it. "Earth to Craig." Jenny snapped her fingers.

"Oh, Sean just ran over to the that guy" Craig pointed to Sean talking to the unknown guy and some girl he couldn't quite make out. "Well it's seems cool now. Wow, Jenny you look nice." Craig stared at Jenny she had a asymmetrical black and pink outfit on."Do you wanna dance?" Jenny didn't say a word she just kept staring at Sean talking to the unknown guy."Jenny." Now it was Craig turn to snap his fingers.

"Oh," Jenny stopped staring. "What did you say?" Jenny looked back at Sean and the unknown guy still talking.

Craig looked at Sean and the unknown guy to see if maybe Jenny was seeing something he wasn't. He didn't see anything out of the ordinary. "Jenny I wanted to know," Craig turned his attention back to Jenny but she was gone. "Great," Craig said to himself. He looked around the dance floor for signs of Jenny until he saw a girl with a asymmetrical dress and long dark hair on the other side of the dance floor."You know you can really walk fast I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to dance?"

Manny couldn't believe the tenacity of Lenny he just couldn't understand the word no. She had no choice but to tell it to him more aggressively instead of being nice. "Look, Lenny you're a nice guy but," Manny turned around and was surprised to see that it wasn't Lenny asking her to dance but someone else. "Craig!"

"Manny!"

"What are you doing here?"

"Sean what are you doing here," Emma asked Sean.

"What are you doing here," Sean asked Emma.

"You two guys know each other?" J looked at them.

"Yeah you can say that," Emma answered.

J looked at Sean. "She's not your girl is she because she didn't tell me she had a boyfriend."

"No," Sean answered "We're just old friends."

"Oh that's cool." J replied. "I just didn't want us to." J looked in the background and saw a girl go through a wall. "Did you guys just see that?"

"See what," Sean asked.

"Never mind." J turned to Emma. "I gotta go but enjoy yourself whatever you want just ask Lenny and he'll get it for you."

"Where are you going?" Emma asked.

"I'll be right back," J ran off the dance floor to the wall.

"What was that all about," Sean asked.

"I really don't know," Emma replied.

"So tell me how did you get here?" Sean asked. "And why were you dancing with that guy and why is he buying you whatever you want."

"It doesn't matter I'm not taking him up on his offer and why should you care?"

"Because that guy looks like bad news you should stay away from him."

"What you're not my boyfriend and even if you were you can't tell me what to do." Emma stormed off into the crowd. Sean rolled his eyes and ran after her.

"This is great well at least I get the table to myself." Jimmy thought after watching Sean leave and Craig follow. Jimmy sat at the table for a while, he looked into the crowd and noticed Sean was having a heavy heated argument with some girl and he had no idea where Craig was. Jimmy didn't know if he should look for Craig or help Sean but decided not to do anything when he heard his stomach making a large rumbling sound. He looked around for a waitress or at least a plate of hor d'oeuvres but couldn't find anything but a bar. "Might as well get something to drink," Jimmy mumbled to himself while going towards the bar. "Maybe if I ask for a Shirley Temple I can at least eat the garnishes of cherry's." Jimmy looked up and saw a male bartender with crazy purple hair mixing drinks. "Hey can I have a Shirley Temple." Jimmy screamed at the bartender who looked around but couldn't figure out where the voice was coming from. Jimmy tried again but to no avail the bartender never thought to look down and the bar stoop was too tall for the bartender to see him and the music was too loud for the bartender to decipher that the voice was coming from below. "Great," Jimmy thought while his stomach rumbled even harder. "That's it, I'm getting a drink and I don't care what I have to do." Jimmy said to himself out loud. Jimmy saw a blond sitting on a bar stool. "Excuse me," Jimmy asked the girl who had her back turned from him. "Can you please..."

"Jimmy?" The girl replied before turning around.

"Paige." Jimmy couldn't believe his eyes. "What are you doing here?"

"Here you go Paige." Hazel gave Paige a drink not noticing she wasn't looking at her. "Don't tell me you're still made at me because of what happened with J but you won't believe whose..Jimmy." Hazel mumbled.

"Hazel," Jimmy exclaimed.

"Do you know who I am," J exclaimed to the bodyguard who had just placed himself in front of the wall.

"I don't care you don't have excess to get behind here, so either enjoy the party or I'll show you out."

J couldn't believe the audacity of the bodyguard he felt like he was being Punked or something everyone in town if not the nation knew who he was but yet this was the second time he had been shunned from the star treatment he had become accustomed too."Let me in!" J screamed to the guard. "Or I'll make sure you'll never work for anyone in this town again, you hear me!"

"I heard you," The guard screamed back. "Now move out of the way before you force me to do it for you."

"What seems to be the problem here?" Nookie came near the wall.

"Nookie thank god you're here now can you tell them who I am." J kissed her on the cheek. "I have to get inside of here."

"Just one more turn and I'm here." Jenny said to herself. She had been through these tunnels so many times every since high school when she and a couple of her rich and underage underage frineds would come here but something was different. Jenny came to a wall and pushed the button." Access denied." A small computer voice echoed throughout the halls. The wall was a dead end. "Dang, I should've known the owner would catch on sooner or later." Jenny knew she only had so many minutes before the owners goons would catch on that she wasn't a guest or an employee at the club. Jenny saw one more turn that she could take. "Oh well here goes nothing she stood by a wall, pushed the button and closed her eyes.
