Sorry it's taking me so long to update...lots of end of the year projects, but I should be update sooner now that summer's here.
This chapter really suck-y,please don't hate me.
Chapter 4:
"HEEEEEYYYYYYY EMMA! WHOOOSE YO' FWEEEENNNNDD?" My eyes widened to full capacity as a wobbling Silky came towards us, giant party cup in hand. Kim tried to shelter Mischa as best she could as he slung his arms around Gabi's and my necks.
"And who might this beauuuutifulll gurl beeeeee?" I nearly gagged at the nasty smell coming from his mouth. The similar expression on Gabi's face told me she was regretting she actually came. Ducking out from Silky's reach, I grabbed Gabi's arm and pulled her to me.
"Dave, this is my roommate, Gabi Cruz. Gabs," I motioned to the plastered guy in front of us, "this is Dave Silk, also known as Silky."
"The ladieeeesss callllll me dat 'cuz I'm smooooth as…as…um," Dave looked deep in thought at the ceiling until someone called out, "SILK!"
"Right, silk!" Dave filled in the blank, winking at Gabi and wagging his eyebrows up and down. Gabi inched behind me, peering over my shoulder as Rizzo walked up to us.
"Hey guys! Glad you could make it," he noticed Gabi's hiding spot and turned to Silky, "Dave, man, why don't you go over and get Ramsey to give you some more beer," Dave perked up and stumbled his way into a dorm. I gaped at Rizzo, "You're gonna give him more alcohol? What are you, insane? The guy couldn't even remember his own last name!" I was prepared to launch into complete lecture mode, but Rizzo put up his hands in defense, "Emma, relax, Ramsey won't give him anything, he's nineteen. By law, Rammer's not allowed to touch that stuff." I relaxed and turned the attention to Gabi, "Rizzo, this is Kim and my roommate, Gabi."
"It's nice to meet you," Rizzo stuck out his hand, "I'm Mike Eruzione, but everyone just calls me Rizzo," Gabs smiled and offered up, "Gabi Cruz." Rizzo took it upon himself to be our bodyguard until we found a safe place to sit. Kim had disappeared with Michaela early on in the party and we hadn't seen her since. After getting the full tour, which wasn't very much of one anyway, we took a seat on the couch in Billy Baker and Pav's room.
Gabi had opened up after the Silky incident and was sitting with Buzzy, talking his ear of and motioning dramatically with her hands, when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I whirled around and came face-to-chest with Bah.
"Enjoying the party? It's a little crazy, but we'll run damage control in the morning." A small smile formed on my face as he commented on the various activities of his teammates. "Yeah, Verchota started a game of 'I Never' in Kenny and Well's room; huge following too. And Mark Johnson's over there having a nervous breakdown 'cause Silky keeps trying to juggle some of the beer cans. I think the last one hit Christian in the head, doubt it hurt much; he's got a built in safety bumper on there…" He's cute when he rambles…wait a minute, where the hell did which come from? Emily Lynne Calhoun you did not just think that; snap out of it. "…So, where's Kim and Michaela?" His voice broke up the conversation in my head. I looked around the room, trying to find a little blonde haired girl or Kim's bright golden eyes. No where to be found. I spun around in a circle, trying to track where they had gone. Bah noticed my confusion and began looking too. I walked up to Gabi, thinking she'd know where they were.
"Hey Gabs, have you seen Kim or Michaela? I can't find them anywhere!" Gabi furrowed her eyebrows, "I've got no clue. Haven't seen them since we got here." She turned back to the conversation; once Gabi starts talking, there's no stopping her until she passes out or the other end of the conversation runs away. I blew a piece of hair out of my face and headed for the door. Not much later, I heard someone running up behind me.
"Emma, wait!" I whipped around to see Bah jogging up to me, "Jeez, you can sure walk fast. You weren't a speed skater in a past life, were you?"
"No, but being a short person, I find it necessary to walk fast to keep up with everyone. Sometimes my feet just kick it into overdrive." He laughed at my explanation as we peered into a room a few doors down. We continued through the floor (which had been designated for the team only) asking anyone we saw if they new where my roomies were. Constant 'no's got annoying after a while and my impatience was growing. After searching the whole floor, I gave up and went back to find Gabi. Just as I stepped in the door, the amazing drunken Silky materialized in my face singing 'I Will Survive'. Holding my breath, I tried to push past him, but a sweaty arm wrapped around my waist and swung me back to him.
"Come on, Emmmmmmmmaaaaaa! Sing wit me! I will suvive. Ohhhhh as long as I know how to love I know I'll be a wife, I've got all my life to give. I've got all my love to live, and I'll suvive. I WILL SUVIVE!" I ducked away as much as possible as Silky fell towards me. I waited for the impact for the second time today, but again, it never came. Bah had Silky pinned up against the wall and was dragging him to the nearest couch to crash. I slipped away to Gabs and dragged her into the bathroom.
"Gabi, I can't find Kim of Michaela anywhere. Bah and I searched the whole floor. They are nowhere and it's starting to freak me out. I was almost squished by Silky a minute ago and…"
"Wait, who the hell's Bah? And how did you get squished by Silky? I'm so confused." I went to explain but was interrupted by a loud knocking on the door.
"Emma, are you okay? I'm sorry about Silky, but he can't hurt anyone else; he's passed out on the couch. So you can come out now, if you want." I opened the door, about to walk back out when I saw a massive group of hockey players chasing Phil Verchota around the room. Grabbing Bah's shirt, I pulled him in and shut the door.
"Okay," I started, formulating a plan in my head, "Kim and Michaela have completely disappeared and we have absolutely no idea where they could be. Bah," he looked up, "I need you to ask everyone if they have seen them. And get Rizzo on the trail too, he could be of use. Gabs, you go down to the parking lot and see if they're anywhere down there. I'll keep walking through the halls and stuff to see if they're there. If we find them we find each other and tell them where they are. All set," Bah nodded and Gabi shrugged, "than let's go."
We split up, each of us heading towards our "mission". I ran along each hallway, dodging people and keeping my eyes open for my midget goddaughter and her mother. Five minutes passed and I still hadn't found them. As I turned down another hallway, I heard Gabi's voice calling out my name.
"Emma! I found them!" I spun on my heel and jogged to where she was standing. "Their in the car; Kim said Michaela was feeling sick and so she brought her back to the car." I sighed and followed her out to the parking lot. There, in the car, was Kim cradling a sleep Michaela, just like Gabs had said. Seeing that Kim wanted to go home, I hightailed it back up to the party to tell Bah we were heading home.
"So you found her? That's good." He looked genuinely relieved.
"I have to get going; everyone's waiting in the car. I'll see you tomorrow at practice." I waved and headed out to the car to get home.
At home, Kim carried Mischa to her room and tucked her in. Gabi and I put on a pot of coffee while she was in there.
"Did you have fun?" I asked, "You seemed to hit it off with Mike." Gabi smiled into her mug. Oh boy, here we go. "He's super sweet, but he's really young. But he's mature too, ya know?" I laughed.
"Gabi, you have time to think about it. You've only seen the guy once. Nothing to get worked up about."
"What's she up to now?" Kim came in the room with her pajamas on. Shaking my head, I told her, "You don't want to know."
