Chapter 22
Oh my God! I'm SO, SO, SO, SO SORRY that it took me so long to get this chapter up! Like I said, MAJOR homework. And then we FINALLY got Christmas break! YES! So it took me a few days to write this chapter. I wanted to post it all at once though. So I hope it doesn't suck major ass. We'll see I guess. Well here's the big party chapter! WOO HOO!
Scene-Paige's party. Everyone was starting to arrive. So far a bunch of people were there. The only ones missing from the MAIN group were Emma, Sean, Hazel, Jimmy, Ellie, Craig, and Jay. Oh and of course Heather Sinclair was NOT there! We all know how much Paige hates her! Ha Ha. Pretty much everyone from DCS and some people from different schools were at Paige's party. Cause, let's face it Paige is loaded. Her house is huge. It has eight bedrooms. A kitchen the size of Sean's whole apartment. And a living room the size of Emma's house. There's a huge swimming pool in the back yard and a hot tub also. Her house is secluded from a lot a people so they don't have to worry about the music bothering the neighbors. I'm not going to get into too much more detail about the house though. You'll just have to use your imagination. Imagination is a great thing. Well anyways we're going to start off this scene with Jimmy and Hazel in Jimmy's brand new I can drive again range rover. Jimmy and Hazel have just pulled up to Paige's house and they're sitting in the car arguing…..
"Excuse me Jimmy? You're calling me selfish just because I wanted to go to Paige's party on time instead of fooling around and getting here late? I was there for you Jimmy! For a year I sacrificed my free time to visiting you in the hospital! I was there for all the physical therapy! I was there for your surgery! I was there for it all and you're calling ME selfish!"
"Damn it Hazel! I can't believe you just threw that back in my face! I told you that you didn't have to stay for all of that! I don't know how many times I told you that you didn't have to stay! Hazel you knew you didn't have to! And since when is it my fault that some punk ass kid told the school psychopath that I was the one who set up the prank? Since when is it my fault that the same psychopath SHOT me in the back!"
Hazel was starting to feel bad now. And she hated Jimmy for making her feel bad although on some level she knew it was her fault too.
"That's not what I said Jimmy! Why do you always have to twist my words around damn it!"
"You know what? Why don't you just go to…?" Jimmy trailed off, afraid what would happen if he finished the sentence. Jimmy took a deep breath so that he didn't say something he would regret.
"Hazel look, I don't know what's been going on with us lately. We've been getting in these really stupid fights over nothing it seems like. And then we both say things way out of line and even though we say we're sorry we're both still pissed about it and all that anger builds up for the next fight we have."
Hazel's angry face changes to sad. She takes a deep breath to clam herself down.
"I know. We never used to fight. What happened to us Jimmy?"
"I don't know Haze, I just don't know."
"Look Jimmy, maybe we should just…I don't know…take a break for a while." Hazel said trying not to cry.
"What? A break? Why? I mean I know we've been fighting a lot lately Haze, but I love you. I don't want to go on a break." Jimmy said getting upset.
"Look Jimmy, I love you too you know that. But maybe we just both need some air."
"Fine! You'll get your damn air! Good bye Hazel!" Jimmy said storming out of his car and into the party. Hazel tried to call him back to the car but he wasn't listening. Hazel sighed and wiped away a few of her tears before walking into Paige's party with a fake smile on her face. Paige and Spinner were dancing together but when they saw their best friends walk into their party upset and pissed off they both went to find them. Spinner followed Jimmy into the kitchen, where the alcohol was, and Paige followed Hazel.
"Jimmy hey man! What's going on?"
"Look Spin, I don't really want to talk about it ok? I just need a drink!" Jimmy said grabbing a beer and gulping it down quickly.
"Whoa! I've never seen anyone gulp down a beer that fast before Jimmy."
Jimmy just ignored him and went to the table where people were pouring shots. Jimmy picked up a shot glass and angrily gulped it down. He went for another, not even bothering to pause for the sting in his throat that the alcohol caused. He downed his second shot and went for another. Spinner grabbed his arm before he could get to the glass.
"Whoa, man. I think you've had enough. What is going on? Did you and Hazel get in another fight?"
"Yeah man, we did. The bitch wanted to take a break! Can you believe her?" Jimmy said leaving the shot table and grabbing a beer.
"Whoa man, you might want to slow it down a little bit." Spinner said getting concerned for his friend.
"Look don't worry Spin. I'm just going to get trashed. It's not like I'm going to be driving. Paige said the whole gang could stay over anyways. I'll be fine man."
"Ok but I'm checking in on you later." Spinner said sighing before walking away from his friend to find Paige.
Scene-Emma's bedroom. Emma's in her robe finishing her makeup for Paige's party. Sean just came down the stairs. He went up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his head on her shoulder.
"Hey you're late."
"I know, I'm sorry baby. But it doesn't even look like you're ready. You're still in your robe!" Sean said laughing.
"Well I always do my makeup in my robe. Then I change into my clothes. That way I don't spill anything on it!"
"Ok, so what are you wearing anyways?"
"My jean mini and black halter with my black heels," Emma said pointing to her outfit laid out on her bed.
"I love that outfit! You look so hot in it!" Sean said pulling Emma to him and kissing her.
Emma laughed and put down the lipstick she just got done applying.
"I know you do." She said taking off her robe to change.
Sean's expression went straight from laughing to horny. Emma laughed at the face he made and slipped on her clothes.
She put on her heels and grabbed her purse.
"Ready Bam Bam?" Emma said laughing.
Sean rolled his eyes and followed her up the stairs.
Scene-Craig's garage. Craig is changing his shirt and Ellie walks into the garage.
"Take it off Manning!" Ellie said playfully.
"Only if you take it off first!" Craig said smiling and kissed his girlfriend.
"Oh see I would but then we'd miss the party."
"Fuck the party!" Craig said picking up Ellie and laying her down on the couch.
Ellie and Craig were both laughing.
"Craig, we have to go! (Craig made puppy dog eyes) Ok, I'll make a deal with you. If we go to the party now, and make small talk for an hour then we can head up to one of Paige's eight bedrooms." Ellie said wiggling her eyebrows.
"Ok let's go!" Craig said quickly pulling Ellie up and running to the car.
Scene-Jay's house. Jay was sitting on his bed looking a picture of him and Alex. All of this is Jay's thoughts.
I'm going to get that girl back! I don't care what it takes, I'm getting her back! I made a HUGE mistake! And I hope she can forgive me for that. God I'm such a fucking moron! Alex will never take me back! I doubt we'll even be able to be around each other without fighting now. UGH! Whatever. I'm going to get totally trashed anyways! Fuck her!
End Jay's thoughts.
Jay threw the picture at the wall and went outside to his car. He started up the engine took a deep breath and drove to Paige's party…..
Scene-Paige's party again. Everyone from the MAIN group is there now. They've all been there for a while. They've all been drinking also. Although the only ones that were trashed already were Alex, Jay, Jimmy, and Ashley. Hazel is trying to forget about her fight by spending her night in the hot tub sulking. Alex and Jay haven't really talked since they broke up. But surprisingly alcohol makes them fight. Emma is still on her first drink though. Ellie, Craig, Emma, Sean, Jay, Alex, Paige, and Spinner are all sitting around the living room hanging out. Ellie and Craig have been mainly making out the whole time. And Sean is starting to get "touchy" with Emma, although she doesn't seem to mind. Derrick has been watching Emma from afar all night. He's trying to devise some sort of plan to get Sean to go away so he can be alone with her. Everyone was playing a game called what I've never done. It's where you go from person to person and they say something that they've never done and if someone else in the room has they have to confess to it.
"I've never made out with a teacher." Alex said.
"Guess we all caught Paige in the act!" Sean said laughing.
"Oh yeah? Well I've never dated a criminal!" Paige said laughing.
"Well fuck you!" Jay said throwing a chip at her.
"No Jay! Fuck you and every girl at the ravine who does!" Alex said throwing her empty cup at Jay. It hit him in the head.
"Damn! Bitter much, Lex?"
"Bite me!" Alex said walking into the kitchen in search for another drink.
"Only if you blow me first, love!" Jay said following her into the kitchen.
"This fighting is really getting on my damn nerves! Sure they can't even speak to each other when they're sober but they can fight all they want when they're drunk? For God sakes choose one!" Craig said taking a drink from his cup.
"I hear you Craig!" Sean and Emma said at the same time.
Ashley suddenly stumbled into the living room obviously drunk.
"Ash, hun you're completely trashed! You can't tell me that you came all the way back from London just to come to my party and get drunk on your ass!" Paige said looking at her friend. Ashley looked from Craig and Ellie and back to Paige.
"Actually Paige, that's exactly why I came."
"Whatever. We know why you came hun, and not that we approve of what you did to Craig, but we're your friends so let's just not talk about it…well do you want to join our game? It's more entertaining then getting drunk alone." Paige said to her friend.
"Uh thanks Paige, but I think I'm just going to go freshen up." Ash said putting down her drink and stumbling up to the bathroom.
Scene-The bathroom. Ashley just stumbled in and puked in the toilet. When she was done she washed out her mouth in the sink and sat on the floor.
"I know exactly how you feel Ash."
Ashley snapped her head to where the voice was coming from. She saw Jimmy sitting on the edge of the bathtub. She could tell he was trashed too.
"Jimmy hey. I haven't seen you in a while."
"Yeah I know. Craig told me you were back."
"Yeah, well I think Craig told everyone…he told everyone what a horrible bitch I was to dump him and he told everyone why the horrible bitch was back!" Ashley said angrily.
"Well I don't think you're a horrible bitch, Ash! You were my first love, remember. I can't think you're a horrible bitch. It's just against the rules of love."
"Yeah, I remember. You know I think that was the only relationship I had that was not totally complicated. I loved you Jimmy…and I don't know. I guess it was just so easy for us to get along. We just seemed to…"
"Fit together." Ashley and Jimmy both finished at the same time. They looked over at each other and suddenly all the feelings that they ever felt for each other were starting to rush back to them. Jimmy stood up and walked over to where Ashley was sitting. He sat down beside her and looked her in the eyes. Ashley returned the "love stare" and Jimmy kissed her. Ash returned the kiss. As Jimmy and Ash started getting into it their feelings were getting stronger and they seemed to completely forget about Hazel and Craig…..
Scene-One of the eight bedrooms in Paige's house. Alex has just stumbled into it and layed down on the bed. She didn't bother to turn on the light. She didn't even notice that Jay was lying down on the bed beside her until she accidentally kicked him.
"OW!" Jay said turning on the light. He didn't know she was in their either. Alex looked over at who was sitting beside her when the light went on.
"Oh great! Just great! I'm completely trashed and in need of some sleeping and I just happen to stumble into the same bed that my cheating lying ex is laying in!"
"Oh nice Lex, real nice. Your words sting."
"The only thing that my words sting is your ego which is surprisingly big considering the fact that something else isn't!" Alex said looking down at Jay's pants.
"Ok now that was a low blow Alex!"
"No, I believe Amy is the one that gives low blows!"
"Yeah she does!" Jay said smirking.
Alex punched him in the chest.
"Damn! That hurt!"
"Yeah well you deserved it!"
"I'll probably have a bruise there tomorrow! Jesus!" Jay said taking off his shirt and examining the spot that Alex punched. She hit him pretty hard because it was already starting to turn red.
"Oh gee I'm so sorry!" Alex said sarcastically. She ran her fingers over the red spot slowly making Jay get goose bumps.
Suddenly Jay turned towards Alex and kissed her. Alex surprisingly kissed him back.
"This doesn't change anything Jay."
"I know." Jay said before kissing Alex again. Alex kissed him back and before they knew it they were making out….which soon led to more….
Scene-Another random bedroom in Paige's house. Toby has just stumbled into it. He sat down on the bed. He heard a toilet flushing and he saw Manny stumbling out of the bathroom. She sees it's Toby and sits down next to him.
"Hey Tobes!"
"Uh hey Manny…you're trashed!" Toby said giggling.
"So are you silly!" Manny said punching Toby's shoulder.
"Well maybe just a little bit."
"See I told you that you couldn't be a goody-goody your whole life Isaacs!" Manny said resting her head on his shoulder.
"Yeah I guess you were right."
"I'm always right….well sometimes." Manny said.
"Yeah." Toby said. His face was slowly inching closer to Manny's. Manny does the same and soon they're kissing…which leads to making out...
Scene-The party is staring to die down. It's about 3 in the morning and most of the people are starting to leave or are passed out somewhere. Spinner and Paige are both asleep in a huge recliner chair. Emma and Sean are in the kitchen and we all know where everyone else is. Some guy that knows Sean from shop comes up to him and asks him for help carrying his passed out friends to his car. Sean, being the great guy that he is, went to help him and told Emma that he'd be right back. Emma has only had two drinks so she's not drunk at all. She's barely even feeling it. Derrick walks up to Emma and starts talking to her.
"Hey Em, what's up?" Derrick asks her winking at the guy who's walking out the door with Sean.
"Uh nothing really. Just waiting for my BOYFRIEND to come back." Emma said hoping he'd get the hint.
"Oh cool well I was just wondering if you saw that new movie…Oh shoot! (Derrick just knocked Emma's purse off the table) I'm sorry Em."
"Oh it's ok." Emma said thinking nothing of it and bending down to pick it up. As she was picking it up Derrick quickly dropped a pill into Emma's drink and stirred it with a little straw that was lying on the table. By the time Emma picked up her purse and sat up, the pill had already dissolved into her drink.
"So what were you talking about?" Emma asked before taking a huge gulp of her drink thinking that if she drank it quickly that she could make getting another drink an excuse to leave.
Derrick just looked at her and started talking about the new movie that just came out. He was smiling ever so wickedly…..
Scene-Same as last but it's about 10 minutes later after Emma has finished her drink. She seems completely drunk even though she wasn't even half way there 10 minutes ago. Sean is still helping that guy with his friends.
"Whoa…I feel completely d—runk…but I only h-ad tw-o drink-ks." Emma said slurring her words.
"Yeah Em, you do look kind of sick. Maybe you should go to the bathroom or something. How bout I help you upstairs?" Derrick said pulling her arm.
"Can you take me to find Sean?" Emma asked, still slurring.
"Uh yeah, Sean's still upstairs." Derrick said pulling Emma towards the stairs.
"Oh…ok." Emma said letting Derrick help her up the stairs.
As Derrick was helping Emma up the stairs Paige briefly opened her eyes to see Derrick helping Emma up the stairs. Since Paige was clearly drunk and tired, this seemed innocent to her. But she was completely wrong…..
Scene-A few minutes later Sean walked back into the kitchen looking for Emma. He didn't see her there. He looked all over the downstairs part of the house and couldn't find her. He walked up to Paige and woke her up. Paige opened her eyes slowly.
"Paige have you seen Emma? It's not like her to just walk off at a party alone." Sean said getting worried. For some reason he just felt that something wasn't right.
"Uh yeah…I think I saw her walking upstairs with that Derrick kid." Paige wiping her eyes.
"What!" Sean yelled running towards the stairs.
Paige just now seemed to realize what was going on. She didn't see Emma or Derrick come back down the stairs at any time. She had a flash back of what happened to her the night that Dean raped her. Paige quickly woke up Spinner and told him what was going on. They both ran up the stairs after Sean…..
Scene-Another random bedroom in Paige's house. Derrick has just pulled Emma into it. He pushed her down onto the bed and started to force himself on her. She tried to scream and fight back but the date rape drug was slowing her down. Derrick started to rip and remove her clothing. Emma just kept saying no. She passed out saying no. Sean ran into every bedroom that Paige had in her house before he finally found the one with Derrick and Emma in it. Derrick was in the process of taking his boxers off when Sean busted through the locked door.
"What in the hell is going on? Get off her man!" Sean yelled at Derrick. That woke Emma up, she was still saying no but she was barely "there." Derrick quickly threw on his clothes and tried to run out the door.
"I don't think so!" Sean said throwing Derrick against a wall.
"Not until you tell me what in the fuck happened!" Sean said getting angrier.
"Look man it wasn't my fault, ok? She came onto me! She was trashed and she kissed me first!" Derrick said weakly trying to defend himself.
"That's a lie! She only had two drinks! She was NOT trashed! And this obviously wasn't consensual because she's half passed out on the bed! (Realization comes into Sean's mind) You bastard!" Sean screamed before punching Derrick in the stomach. Paige and Spinner got upstairs just as Sean was beating the crap out of Derrick.
"Dude stop! You're going to kill him! Stop! Sean!" Spinner said trying to get Sean off of Derrick. Paige went straight to Emma who was naked and only half conscious on the bed. Paige helped Emma sit up and put her clothes on. Spinner was still trying to get Sean off of Derrick. All of the noise made Craig and Ellie come out of the bedroom they were in. They saw what was going on and Craig ran to help Spinner get Sean off of Derrick. Ellie ran to Paige and Emma and Paige filled her in. Ellie went to go get Emma some water and Craig's sweatshirt because Emma's shirt was completely ripped. Spin and Craig finally got Sean away from Derrick and Derrick ran out of the house. Paige and Ellie helped Emma put her sweatshirt on while Craig and Spinner tried to calm down Sean. When Sean finally snapped out of it he looked towards Emma and saw that she wasn't doing very well he instantly wanted to know what happened. He rushed to her side.
"Em, are you ok? What happened? How are you feeling?"
"I-I don't feel so-o w-ell Sea-n." Emma said slurring and almost passing out again.
"Oh my God! Sean we have to get her to the hospital! Derrick might have slipped her a drug or something!" Paige said.
"Ok Paige go get your van out of the garage, it's the biggest so we'll take it. (Paige left to go get the van) Spinner go find everyone and fill them in on what's going on. Get them to the hospital and the rest of us will go with Paige. (Spinner left the room to go do what Sean told him) Ellie go get Emma's purse it has all of her health info in it. (Ellie left) I'll carry Em to the car. (Sean picked her up and Craig headed down the stairs with him) And Craig you call Em's parents on the way to the hospital."
Ellie, Craig, and Sean who was holding Emma met Paige in her car and they sped off to the hospital…..
Ok so what do you think? I tried to make this chapter really good but I don't know if it's the best. I know that there are some loose ends as to what happened with some of the people but you'll find out in the next chapter/s. What do you think? R&R!
