"Jen, what the hell do you think you're doing?" I asked angrily as I pulled Jennifer to the parking lot, outside the club.
"Wh-haat?" Jennifer slurred and leaned her back onto someone's car.
"Oh my God," I mumbled to myself "You're drunk, and you're trying to hit it off with one of my colleagues and you have a boyfriend!" I exclaimed, my voice getting higher and higher by the second.
Jennifer gasped but then started laughing hysterically "You think I' trying to hit it off with Harry?!" she said in between laughs.
I crossed my arms, "I know you're trying to hit it off with Harry," I told her sternly.
"Pfft," Jennifer mumbled "I love James, why on earth would I try something with Harry?"
"Beats me," I said "Maybe we should call James and tell him to pick you up,"
"F-fine, I don't care," Jennifer said, closing her eyes slightly. Oh, man she is drunk.
--
"Thanks for coming James," I said and looked at Jennifer who was already fast asleep in the car "She was really drunk,"
James laughed, "No worries," he smiled "She hasn't been out in ages so I don't wonder her state,"
"Yeah," I chuckled "Call me tomorrow" I said and hugged him "Make sure she's alright,"
James smiled, "Veronica, she's my girlfriend of course I'll make sure of that," he said and walked to the other side of the car.
"Night Veronica,"
"Night and take care of yourself!" I said and watched as James hopped into his car before driving off.
I walked over to the bench and sat myself down, taking a cigarette out of my bag before lighting it up. What the fuck was going on in Jennifer's head? She's an idiot alright. I need to have a long discussion with her tomorrow morning...crap.
I lifted my legs up to the bench and massaged my temple, oh great, now I was getting a headache.
"You alright?"
I turned around and noticed Dougie standing by the club door. I gave him a tired smile, "I guess," I shrugged.
"You guess?" he asked and walked over to the bench "I'll take it as a no"
I sighed, "Nah, it's just that Jennifer's being stupid" I told him "Getting drunk and trying to hit on Harry," I said quietly the last words of the sentence.
"Huh? Why would that bother? It's not like it's illegal to flirt with somebody," he said, sitting down beside me.
"It is when you have a boyfriend,"
"Wha-Jennifer has a boyfriend?" Dougie asked confused.
"Yup," I nodded my head, looking down I noticed that I still had the cigarette in my hand "Dougie?" I asked as Dougie looked like he was miles away.
"Huh?"
"You got light?" I asked and put the cigarette in my mouth.
"Oh, yeah," Dougie replied, taking the lighter out from his pocket before lighting up my cigarette.
"Thanks," I said and took a deep drag out of it.
"You know, I think Harry has no idea she has a boyfriend," Dougie said after a couple minutes of silence.
I blew smoke out of my lungs, "I know, it's Jennifer I'm mad at," I said "I just can't believe her, she has been together with James from High school, that's almost six years,"
A silence fell between us and I just stared at the sky, smoking my cigarette.
"Have you ever thought about how weird life is?" I asked suddenly.
"What do you mean?" Dougie asked, turning his head towards me.
"I mean, we're just people, we work, we get money to buy things, some of us get children...some of us get married...I just don't get the point in it," I shrugged "It's weird,"
Dougie let out a chuckle, "I knew you were strange when I first laid my eyes on you,"
"Oh thanks for the compliment," I rolled my eyes.
"I mean that in the best way possible," Dougie smiled.
"Well, its okay then," I smiled back.
"Hey Veronica!" oh great it's Jake. The perfect moment was once again ruined...
I forced a smile onto my face, "Hey Jake,"
"What's up babe?" he asked and gave me a kiss on the cheek. BABE?! okay, what the hell is going on? He's calling me weird names and he's totally ignoring Dougie, who looks like he would want to bury himself into a hole...fucking brilliant.
"Uh-nothing?" I stuttered, totally confused by the situation.
"Oh hi Dougie, didn't see you there" Jake laughed.
"Hi Jake," Dougie responded.
Didn't see him?! Okay, Dougie isn't invisible! Though now he probably would want to be...
