Now, on with the story!
After staying in my room for the rest of the afternoon, I decided to call Louise and ask her to come over so we could get ready for tonight.
"How about this skirt with this spaghetti strap?" Louise asked me while holding up a black mini skirt and a red spaghetti strap.
"I was thinking of just wearing jeans and that red spaghetti strap, I want to be comfortable tonight." I told her.
"Wear those low-rise hip-huggers then." She said to me.
"That sounds good. What are you going to wear?"
"Well, can I borrow your black mini, since your not going to wear it?"
"Go ahead. Oh, wear the purple tube top with it." I suggested.
"Ok. So, what time are we meeting them there?"
"Jess was going to drive us down there around 7:55 or so."
"Well, its 7:30 now, let's go downstairs and get something to drink." Louise suggested to me.
"We might not want to go down there. My mom and dad have been fighting, so there is a good chance that if we go down there we will get our heads bitten off."
"Let's go over to Jess' house then. It's probably safer over there."
"Ok that sounds good to me. Let me call him so he can bring the ladder to my balcony."
"Rory, you act like this isn't your first time sneaking out." Louise mockingly said.
"If you know me at all, then you know it isn't my first time." I said with a smile.
Rory pulled out her cell phone and called Jess.
"Hey it's me… Can you bring the ladder to my balcony...? Because we don't want to get eaten… Thanks."
"He's bringing it over now." I told Louise. In a few minutes Jess set the ladder up by my balcony and Louise and I climbed out. Jess helped us both off the ladder and we walked over to his car.
"Are you ready to go?" Jess asked us.
"Yep. Let's go!" Louise told him eagerly.
We all got into his car and he turned up the radio, "Photograph" by Nickelback was playing. We got to "Joes" in a matter of minutes. Everyone else was already there.
"It's about time you got here!" Mandi exclaimed.
"Sorry, we had to climb out the balcony. Parents are fighting again, what a shock." I said while rolling my eyes.
"Well, let's not spoil the evening with talk of your parents, kitten, and let's get so drunk we can't even walk!" Finn said.
"Sounds good to me." I told him.
We all walked up to the bar and ordered 4 pitchers of beer and went to a table by an open pool table.
"So, who's going to play against the master?" Tristan cockily said.
"I would advise you not to get that ego too big, DuGrey, it might burst." Paris told him.
"Does that mean your going to try to beat me?" Tristan asked her with a smirk.
"I think I'll pass."
"I'll play you," I told him "that way if I beat you I can rub it in your face." I told him, grinning.
"Well, Mary, step right up and try not to cry when you lose."
"Oh, I'll try my best." I told him sarcastically. We all took turns playing pool and most of us have had at least 5 drinks, not including Finn's "special" drink that he made us try. When we got tired of playing pool, we just sat down and talked for a little bit. I was quieter than usual, and Tristan noticed. He kept worriedly looking over at me. I just gave him a reassuring smile. When the night was over, Paris decided to be the designated driver since she only had one beer. She dropped me, Jess, and Louise off first since we were closest to "Joes". We stumbled out of the car and to the side of my house. I looked up at my balcony.
"Shit." I said.
"What?" Jess asked.
"How the hell am I supposed to climb all the way up to my room?"
"Uh… You could come sleep at my place if you want." Jess suggested.
"That sounds better than falling off the ladder and dying." I said.
"I have to get back to my house." Louise said.
"See you…later." I slurred. Louise had some trouble walking to her house, but she made it inside.
"Let's get inside." Jess said. We both walked up to his door and he unlocked it and we walked up to his room with much difficulty, considering his room is on the second floor. We finally made it up and I collapsed on his bed. This wasn't the first time I have slept at his house after coming back from getting drunk, so it wasn't as awkward as it was the first time I slept over here. He took off his shoes and climbed into bed with me.
"Night Rory." He told me while kissing me on the forehead.
"Night Jess." I told him sleepily.
The next morning I got up and had to go over to my house to get ready for school. I got out of bed, grabbing my shoes on the way out, and walked over to my house. I decided to climb up the ladder since my parents were probably up. I made it up to my room and jumped in the shower really quick. I was ready for school in about 30 minutes. When I finished putting my make-up on I went downstairs for coffee. Mom was sitting on the couch, watching T.V. I poured a cup of coffee and went over to her.
"Morning mom."
"Morning." She told me.
"Is something wrong?" I asked her. She looked like she was in a bad mood.
"Nope." She told me with a fake smile.
"Well, I have to go to school. I'll see you later." I left the house and walked over to Jess, who was standing by his car.
"Are you ready?" He asked me.
"I guess so." They got into the car and headed off for another school day.
