I found this great place to have the party at; it was a private club that would close its doors for one night to have the chart topping Drake Parkers birthday party. I usually hate to name drop but there was no other way I could get such a great place for a good price. Plus Drake had mentioned it once where some kid had like a huge party where he wasn't invited to, The Diego Club.
I called Josh to see if we could meet up I wanted him to be apart of this. After all it was his brother and I was going to need help hiding things and the apartment was way too small for that. He agreed that we could meet up at the house.
"I want to have this big birthday party for Drake, I mean BIG! I found this great little club that there gonna let us rent out for the night." I said walking in to the house without even saying hello, I was so excited.
"How are you going to pay for all of this?" Josh asked shutting the door behind me.
"Well I have some money saved and your mom and dad offered to chip in if I made it family friendly which I was going to anyway." I flopped down on the couch patting the spot besides me.
"Well that sounds nice."
I showed him the pictured and the catering menu.
"I want to do it like black and white. Really fancy you know?"
"Well it sounds like you have everything under control. What do you need me for?"
"Well I need somewhere to hide decorations and maybe do some errands with me. I need to like pick out the cake and music, you know him better then anyone else you'll know what he likes."
"Well… I don't know if it's a good idea."
"Look Josh I know it's hard to forgive your brother but he's really trying to change."
"Yeah I can tell I saw him leaving school with four girls in his car."
"Are you serious? I will freakin kill him. Josh you know what we'll have to talk about this later."
I got into my car and raced home as fast as possible. I had only caught him once but he was totally messed up so I really didn't blame him but if I caught him this time it would be totally different. I rushed through the front door holding my breath the whole time as if I forgot how to breathe. Drake and the giggling girls were scattered in the living room fully dressed with text books scattered on the floor.
"Hey baby is something wrong? Why are you home so early?"
"Drake I need to talk to you, outside." I said feeling my body get heavier with worry, with shame. These girls must think I'm a moron to let my boyfriend have 4 beautiful girls over alone.
"What's wrong babe, your scaring me."
"What are you doing with four girls in our apartment? Drake I said I forgave you, I didn't forget."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"That's means you can't have girls as friends right now and you definitely can't have them over my apartment."
"Ash we went doing anything." He said smiling and putting his arms around me.
"No Drake it's not that easy." I said pushing him away I was so mad at him. I know he didn't cheat with these girls but they represented every girl he did cheat with and who knows what would happen if I didn't come home early.
"You came home from work to yell at me about studying?"
"No… I… I… Came home because I didn't feel good." God I was such a bad liar and this whole thing was going to tumble out of control and one lies going to have to cover another. But I hope it's worth it in the end because it is his 21st birthday and you only get one.
"Aww… whats wrong?" He said putting his hand to my cheek.
"The fore head Drake, you're supposed to check the fore head not the cheeks." He pulled his hand away quickly.
"Drake what's on your hand?" I hated acting like his mother. Why couldn't he ever just tell me the truth?
"Look one of the girls wrote it. It's no big deal."
"Yeah that's why you were trying to hide it."
"No… I knew you would go off about it like you always do. Look Ash it's stupid its nothing."
((Drake and Chelsea AAF))
God I wanted to gag! Why does he even get himself into these situations?
"Drake you're a… you're… forget it…I'm gonna go lay down. You do what you want and I'll do what I want." I said as I walked into the apartment.
"What does that mean? Is that a threat?"
"Drake take it anyway you wanna take it." I went into my bedroom and laid down on the bed. Every time I heard one of the girls giggle I shoved my head into my pillow and screamed. Finally I just fell asleep. I woke back up to a quite house; I looked at the alarm clock it was only 6 pm. I walked through the apartment, there was no one there. I got this feeling in my stomach that felt like I had just eaten a blowing ball. He wanted to play this game I'm gonna play it too. I called Jared and told him we were going out anywhere, anywhere away from here. I put on my tightest jeans and my lowest tunic. Jared honked his horn just as Drake was pulled in.
"Where are you going?"
"Out." I answered not even looking at him.
"You're going out like that? I thought we could talk?"
"I don't want to know if you cheated I'm done feeling like crap!"
"Ash what are you talking about they were just nice girls."
"Yeah they were with you for the conversation."
"Is that's so hard to believe?"
"Yeah it is Drake, because you don't just talk. You need to be faithful to me and if that means cutting off girls completely until I'm comfortable with it then that's how it has to be."
"That's unfair!" Drake yelled and stomped his foot like a 5 year old. I swear if I could put him in time out I would have. "Well at least tell me where you're going!"
"I'm not bargaining with you. You go out with four cute blondes and don't tell me where you are, why I should tell you. You show me no consideration why should I show it to you."
"I show you consideration didn't I give you my card to go shopping all the girls thought that was like the nicest thing. Your better then me Ash we all get it you're a fucking saint, get over it."
"I'm over it drake. But I want you to think about this… I have never asked you for anything, anything at all except to love me the way a man who loves a women should. I think that's a whole lot sweeter then a credit card." I said biting my lip trying to hold back the tears.
"Ash come on I didn't mean it that way I swear. I'm sorry."
"I'll talk to you later."
I hopped into Jared's car and we rode off into Hollywood. I held back the tears that were trying to escape all night. Jared already thought Drake and I were a little crazy and I didn't want to prove him right. We went to a little dance club on Hollywood blvd. I tried to have fun I danced with Jared until my heels felt as if they were going to give out from under me. Finally we called it a night and he drove me home.
"Thanks so much I need to get out of there for a little bit."
"Ashlee I don't know how you do it. But maybe you should think if it's all worth it."
"Look to other people Drake a screw ball but I see a whole different side to him and he's loving and kind. He's a good person when he wants to be. I'll be okay, again thank."
The moment was awkward I couldn't get the door to open and Jared leaned over me to giggle the door handle and as the door opened he kissed me.
"Whoa! What are you doing?"
"I just thought…"
"You're into girls? I thought… God I'm sorry I'm with Drake." I didn't let him answer I just left and ran up to the apartment and busted through the door. Drake was sleeping, fully dressed on the couch.
"Baby why don't you come in the bedroom. Your backs going to be killing you in the morning."
"I was waiting up for you." He said putting his arms around me still half asleep. This was the Drake I loved and he loved me. "I won't hang out with them anymore if you don't want me to."
"Drake I am just scared that I'll lose you."
"Ash I'm not going anywhere."
"So did you have fun dancing?"
"Yeah how did you know?"
"Jared told me. Come on lets go to bed its late we have class tomorrow. Oh wait how you are feeling?"
"A little bit better."
