So after about two months of being lazy I wrote another chapter! I told myself that I would not sleep until I wrote this and sure enough, I wrote it! I was really inspired by an episode of How I met Your Mother, and did use a few of the ideas... I began writing this and had a great idea. This didn't turn out as I originally intended... Anyways, enough of my rambling(Which I'm still doing...) ENJOY!


Dani and Mike had been drinking all night and sure as hell, Dani was drunk off her feet. Mike, however, could hold his alcohol like there was no tomorrow. The last thought that Dani could recall, was watching her three cousins leave with some random guys.

Her head was pounding and she opened her eyes slowly. She was in a large car, and she was looking out the window. They quickly passed a few street lamps, and Dani squinted her eyes painfully. She stretched in the uncomfortable car seat before rolling over onto her side.

To her surprise, her brother Nick sat in the driver's seat opposite to her. His hair was combed back and his dark brown roots were showing through. She allowed her head to roll over to one side slowly before sitting up straight. She groaned quietly as she slipped a hand up to her aching head. "Nick?" She asked leaning her head back down against the car seat.

Nick nodded slowly giving a glance over to his sister. "Awake?" He asked making a smooth turn.

Dani scoffed quietly "No, I'm obviously dead asleep." She said with a scornful look out the window. She was in a terrible mood, and she couldn't place why.

Nick chuckled lowly "I came out to have a drink with some friends and found you walking out of the bar." He said in a flat tone. "You collapsed right in front of me." He said shaking his head. He'd suddenly become incredibly serious, a trait that Dani was never blessed with. She glanced down at her arm and raised an inquisitive eyebrow.

"What the hell is this?" Dani asked holding up her arm to the light. In thick black sharpie there read: If lost, please call 330-492-2408.


Max, Tara and Alex scurried out the door; they were hammered, well, at least Alex and Tara were. Dani gave a drunken giggle at something that Mike had whispered into her ear. She was sitting on his lap and was leaning against his chiseled chest.

"Can we go take a walk?" Dani asked looking up into Mike's inviting blue eyes.

Mike gave a suppressed laugh. "You think that's a good idea?"

"Do you?" Dani retorted before giving a laugh.

Mike, however, stayed silent. He grabbed his phone from his pocket and Dani could tell that something was wrong. His bright face immediately darkened and he crossed his arms over his chest as he replied to a text. After slipping his phone into the back pocket of his dark wash jeans, he leaned down toward Dani and planted a soft kiss on her forehead.

Dani just blinked before kissing him on the lips. Mike eagerly kissed back with a hunger that Dani could sense.

Nick shrugged slowly, "How am I supposed to know?" He asked taking a good look at her arm. "Do you recognize the number?"

"No, let me check my phone." Dani replied pulling her phone from her pocket and typing in the number in her address book. Great, no results. "Who the hell's number is this!?" She barked loudly.

"Quiet down… It's alright. We'll call it in the morning."

And that's when Dani realized that it was dark out. She bit her lip; was she really that oblivious? She looked back down at her phone to find that the clock read 3:34. She blinked her now stinging eyes and sighed, she was tired and ready to get to bed. "So, all you know is that I stumbled out of the bar, alone?"

Nick nodded solemnly "I didn't even get a chance to have a beer." He said coolly.

Dani bit the inside of her cheek; Nick's sarcastic tone would be the death of her!


Mike held Dani with care and he rested his stubbly chin on the top of her head. He was deep in thought before he lifted his chin and pushed Dani off of his lap. "I'm sorry I-… I've got to go." He stuttered with the dark look in his eyes. He stood up off of his bar stool before setting down some cash on the wooden bar top. He walked out of the bar briskly with his hands shoved into his pockets.

Dani furrowed her brow. "What the fuck, just happened?" She asked to no one in particular. The only person who'd heard her was the bar tender who'd been drying off a wine glass with a towel.

"Your guy just leave you?" The man asked leaning over the bar. He had a sympathetic look in his eye as Dani sat back down against a bar stool. She slumped down against her seat before replying.

"He's not my 'guy'." Dani replied sipping on a beer. "He's a friend of mine."

"Right, so friends with benefits?" The bartender asked throwing the towel onto his shoulder.

Dani gave the man a death glare and she narrowed her green eyes. The man gave a stifled chuckle before shaking his head. "I'm Ross." He said extending a friendly hand to her.

"Dani…" The girl replied trailing off and shaking the man's hand.


As Dani and Nick walked back into their parents' house, their father came down the steps with a confused, suspicious look on his face. "Where were you two?" He asked as he stopped on the fourth step.

"We were at the bar and we decided to just, come home." Nick replied putting an arm around Dani's shoulders and pulling her into a little hug. "Go to bed, you're tired. Night." He said smiling.

Dani nodded "Goodnight Nick…" She said blinking her eyes. There was a ton of alcohol still coursing through her system and she wasn't as sober as she felt. She began to walk up the stairs before stopping to give her father a tight hug. "I love you daddy." She said just like she did when she was much younger. Her father smiled warmly before hugging back.

"How much did you drink?" Her father asked wrinkling his nose at the strong scent of alcohol on Dani.

"Quite a bit." Dani replied with a laugh as she glanced back down at the number on her arm.


Will Dani figure out who's number is on her arm, and what happened at the bar in her drunken state? Give me a review to guess who's number is on her arm!
