Double Trouble

Chapter 5 part I - Party time…

Across town another type of dancing is taking place, for much the same reasons.

The music blares out of the clapboard house, lights streamed into the evening from every open window and door, the sound of laughing teenagers erupting from the building carrying into the gathering darkness.

In amongst this swarms of adolescents Scott Tracy is standing with two of his best friends watching the fourth of their number dancing with a beautiful dark haired girl, they shout to each other over the music and sip at the fruit punch in the plastic cups they are holding.

"DO YOU THINK HE'LL SCORE?" Lex asks his compatriots.

Dominic and Scott look at each other grinning manically, "NOT A CHANCE!" Dominic responses.

Grinning Scott agrees, "SHE'S A COLLEGE FRESHMORE THIS YEAR! NO WAY IS SHE GONNA GO WITH PHIL."

Lex shrugs not convinced, and turns to get another drink, "HEY SCOTTY, DOM, WANT MORE?" he holds up his cup to clarify the question. Both youths nod and the three weave their way through the crowd to the kitchen to fill their cups. They grab a plate of food and fill their cups with the fruity punch. Dominic nod towards the back door, "LETS GO OUTSIDE!" he shouts, they make their way out into the relative quiet of the back yard and find an empty piece of grass to sit, amongst the crowd of party goers.

"It's so loud in there," Lex grimaces. The others agree their heads still ringing from the loud music; they stuff their mouths with the food and gulp the fruit punch.

Scott takes another mouthful of the fruit punch, "What's in this, it tastes really coconutty." Dominic and Lex exchange smirks, "Nothin' Scotty, just juice." Lex downs his drink quickly and grabs the cups to go get more of the punch. Flopping back on the grass Scott looks up at the stars as they swirl around above him, 'Are they meant to do that?' he wonders, 'I should ask John, he'll know.' his thoughts tumble randomly over each other.

"Hey Scotty you ok man?" Dominic asks. Pushing him self into a sitting position woozily Scott nods, "Yeah, just a little dizzy! All the noise probably"

Lex returns with the cups and a jug of the fruit punch, pouring a cup he hands it to Scott with a smirk.

"Scott maybe you shouldn't have anymore of that." Dominic warns.

Looking at a swaying fuzzy Dominic, Scott smiles, "I'm thirsty, it's only juice right?" He downs the drink in one long swallow, leaving his head spinning.

Grinning Lex goes to fill Scott's cup up again, but Dominic takes the cup away. "That's enough!" he states firmly.

Shrugging Lex fills his own cup and downs it, looking at his friends he grins and tips the jug up to his mouth he guzzles the remains of the drink. "Lex, enough already!" Dominic grabs the jug away spilling half the liquid down Lex's shirt, "Ahh this is my favourite shirt!" He wipes at the shirt vainly, then grins and shrugs, "Mom can wash it."

Beaming at his friends banter Scott sways then falls backward to lay on the grass again, 'How'd I get here?' he wonders, Lex and Dominic just shake their heads laughing at him and leaving him to rest, "You shouldn't have given him more, you know he's not used to it." Dominic admonishes his friend. "Yeah but he's funny like this and anyway he needs to loosen up!"

Dominic looks at the reclined figure of Scott, "If he loosen up anymore, well be carrying him out'a here."

Lex scoffs, "You worry too much Dom."

"Explain that to Scott if his Dad finds out," Dominic states firmly, "Mr Tracy will kill him, Scott's still only 15 remember!"

"Not my problem." Lex answers selfishly in typical teenage fashion.

Lex and Dominic continue talking over the recumbent Scott. The stars wheeling above them, Scott listens vaguely not really hearing what is being said.

After an indeterminate time Phil appears with the same dark haired girl clinging to his side. "Hey guy, wondered where you got to!" he grins. "This is Wanda", he introduces the girl who giggles and waves a general greeting. He drops to the ground dragging the girl with him behind them three other girls follow, Phil waves vaguely towards them, "and this is Jessie, Carol and… Anja Right?" receiving a nod he continues, "They're attending Kansas State this Fall." He raises his eye brows at his friends a huge grin on his face. Finally noticing Scott, Phil looks at the other two boys, "What's with Scotty?"

Lex grins, "Too much punch." He shakes the reclined Scott's shoulder, "Hey Scotty, we got company!" Scott pushes himself up into an upright position and looks around dimly, "Hey Phil, where you been?" he slurs.

"Scotty, Scotty, Scotty, what are we gonna do with you?" Phil smiles at the younger boy. "Ladies," with mock gallantry Phil bows from his kneeling position and waves towards his friends, "May I introduce Dominic Cole, Lex Flechette and Scott Tracy." Giggling the girls sit down beside them, Carol, sitting closest to Scott looks at him closely, "Aren't you Jeff Tracy's son?" Shoulders sagging Scott nods, "Yeah." Smiling encouragingly the pretty blond girl slides up closer to Scott, "What's he like… your dad? He's loaded right?" Scott shrugs, he really doesn't feel like talking about his father, especially with the confused feelings he has about him at the moment, and the dizziness isn't helping. "He's just Dad." Turning to look at his friends Scott tries to ignore the girl at his side, he listens as the conversation flows around him.

One of the girls produces a bottle and taking a drink hands it to her friend. The bottle of clear liquid is passed around the group until it reaches Carol; she takes a swig and offers the bottle to Scott. Warily Scott looks at the bottle a foreign looking label on the bottle identifies it as Vodka, knowing that his father will not be impressed if he gets caught drinking Scott thinks muzzily, 'One sip can't hurt and everyone else is drinking it.' With reservations Scott takes the bottle and tips it to his lips. Laughing Carol tips the bottle higher forcing more liquid down Scott's throat. Scott chokes and coughs on the burning liquid, spluttering as the group laugh. He pushes the bottle away, his stomach twisting in aversion. The bottle continues to be passed around, but Scott having learned his lesson passes it on with out drinking, his head is still fuzzy and woozy and stomach is threatening to revolt.

After a time the conversation ceases as the older girls pair up with each of the boys, the alcohol having reduced inhibitions, hands and mouths find more interesting things to do. Scott sits stock still as he feels Carol's breathe on the side of his face and neck, and her hand slipping across his midriff. Shifting uncomfortably Scott turns his head to look at Carol, a mistake, before he knows what is happening Carol's lips are lock to his and her hands are roaming over parts of his body that are enjoying the sensation way too much. "Com'on Scott, lets find somewhere more private," she whispers urgently. Standing she drags Scott to his feet, he stumbles and slumps against her, his taller frame and greater weight leaning heavily on the slight girl, she leads him towards the house with little resistance, his mind distracted by the sensations being created by her hands running under his shirt. Phil and Lex look at him being led away, "Way to go Scotty…" they cheer. Dominic watches his friend worriedly, but resignedly lets him go.

Inside the house Carol leads Scott up the hallway, kissing him and running her hands over his chest and back beneath his shirt, coaxing him towards a quiet dim room, Scott following his body's lead, his mind disengaged. Carol shoves a door open and drags the dazed boy into the darkened room pushing the door closed behind them.

TBC…

Oh Scott… talk about being led up the garden path…

I told you he would be getting into trouble… but can he get out of it in one piece…

The next part to this chapter is already up...
