Chapter Five.

Dear Journal,

The last two weeks ever since I hung out with Sora have been pretty busy actually. I had no time for anything, it's either work related or hanging out with the guys. No, not Matt. Davis and Ken actually, just soccer related. As for Sora, she's been having her weekends with Matt, all the time. Which really irritates me because he always beats me on asking her to hang out. Mimi and Melanie been going out lately, I never asked since it's none of my business but they come home all happy and all that. This weekend everyone's pretty much free, and it's my best friend's birthday on Saturday. Koushiro 'Izzy' Izumi, turning the big 23. I decided to bring him to get some at the club, Melanie and Mimi are coming. Izzy's roommate, Joe, can't go. Since he's busy at work. He's older than us, and working as a doctor. Anyways, that's about it for now, weekend's about to be a good one. Peace.

Taichi.

After dinner with everyone was over I sat next to Sora for a while and asked if she was busy this weekend, since the past few weekends been 'Sora Free' since Matt keeps asking her our for dates or dinner.

"So Sora, you busy tomorrow?"

She looked at me for a few seconds then answered, "Not that I know of. Matt's busy this weekend so I'm pretty free."

I gave her a huge hug and grinned, "Good. Because my friend, Izzy, his birthday's tomorrow. I'm taking him to that one club, OC and I want you to come."

She smiled back, "Then I'll come. One thing though, who's driving back later on, what if we all drink too much and all that?"

I rubbed my neck and sighed. I didn't actually think about that at all, I was pretty much busy thinking about what'll happen tomorrow. "Cab. I guess." She shrugged in response and walked back to her room. As I walked back to my room I heard my phone vibrate on my bed, I jumped on my bed and grabbed it. A new message from the soon to be birthday boy asking, "What time can I come tomorrow?"

"Anytime, just knock on the door. Happy early birthday sucker! Tomorrow's going to be great."

-The next day-

I woke up the same time as Melanie, helping her cook breakfast since she looks exhausted. I was excited, today we're finally going to have some real fun. I remember ever since I turned 21, partying was always on my weekend schedule. Sadly, since I have a job it's the only thing I have now, but's it's better than staying home like some bum like before. After cooking a lovely breakfast like always there was a knock on the door, I smiled and ran towards the door and opened it.

"Izzy! Happy birthday!" I greeted loudly giving him a hug.

"T-Tai, can't b-breath." He stuttered out, as I chuckled and let go of him.

"Tai, shut up. People are still sleeping." She warned me and walked towards Izzy and smiled, "Hey. Name's Melanie. Mel for short. You must be Izzy."

He smiled and nodded as we both dragged him to the kitchen as we all ate, waiting for the other two to wake up. After we all talked about how our lives are Sora and Mimi walked in to the kitchen, not noticing our visitor in the kitchen until I cleared my throat loudly. I caught both of their attention as they noticed the red haired man next to me as they both ran out of the kitchen as Melanie sighed.

"They don't like looking ugly when there's visitor's in the house. It's how they are." He laughed and finished eating.

They both came back in the kitchen looking neat and clean. They exchanged greetings as the other two began eating and we all started talking about what's going to happen today.

"Hey you know that club we're going to, my friend works there. So we can easily go in." Mimi mentioned as everyone grinned, thankfully we didn't have to wait in line then she added, "Mel remember when you used to DJ? You should do it again."

"No thanks, it's not my thing like before."

I looked at Mel and gave her a puppy look, "But Mel, it's Izzy's birthday. I bet he wants to hear you. Come on."

"I'd actually love to hear some Melanie, if you want to though."

She sighed and forced a smile, "Well, I can try. Only for a little while though!" Everyone smiled and cheered.

The day went pretty fast, it was about six and all the girls were getting ready since we were leaving around eight. I finished getting ready, wearing a simple v-neck, jeans, and Nikes. I sat next to Izzy as I wanted to get his impressions on all three of them. We were watching some reality show and I lowered the volume.

I smirked, "So, what do you think about those three girls?"

He sighed, "Sora's okay. Melanie's pretty, but then Mimi's beyond that."

I chuckled and patted his back, "So you trying to hit on her tonight? Or what?"

He blushed and looked the other direction, "Tai! No! I'm not like you, you know."

Another voice came in, "Oh Izzy don't be like Tai, he's such a goof-ball." We both looked up and noticed it was Sora, coming towards us wearing a one shoulder sparkle dress with black heels with her hair up.

I grinned to her, "So? You love me anyways!"

She rolled her eyes playfully and waited in the living room with us. Melanie walked down wearing a black leather jacket, a flower tank top under, shorts, and ankle length boots.

"Going to the club, not a party." I said as she glared at me, "You think I care?"

We all waited for Mimi to get ready, of course. She finished last minute, wearing a cracked teal and black dress with matching heels and her hair curled. We all waited outside for the cab as Mimi broke the silence and caught everyone's attention.

"Hey Mel, Kouji said once we get there you have to get the party ready! For a whole hour." She nodded in response and looked out for the cab with Sora as I was with them too, eavesdropping on Mimi and Izzy. He kept up a pretty decent conversation with her, surprisingly. The cab was finally here and we all hopped in getting pretty excited as I joked, "So, Sor, can you hold your liquor good?"

She glared, "Only a little bit. I'm not about to have those nasty hang overs." She looked over at Melanie and smiled, "But Mel can hold hers for a damn long time."

Melanie rolled her eyes and looked back to the front. After twenty minutes of driving we paid the taxi driver and went in, of course Mimi in the front so she can tell the security guards.

"Tachikawa, Mimi!" The two tall buff guys nodded and let all five of us in, after we went in the whole place was packed. It's was hot in there, probably from too much dry humping and people. We suddenly bumped into Mimi's friend, Kouji. Black and hazel hair, pretty messy, and toned too. 'Mimi would have a friend like that'

"So where's the guest DJ, Mimi?"

She smiled and dragged Melanie to the front, "Right here! Melanie Carisho! Then there's Tai, Sora, and Izzy."

He grinned and shook her hand and waved hello to us as he lead her to the top of the room where she'll be performing. I grabbed Sora with me to leave Izzy alone with Mimi, and for us to have drinks. As we made it to the bar, I paid for two bottles of beer and we sat there waiting for Melanie to perform.

"Ladies, and gents! We have a guest DJ, Melanie Carisho in the house. Let's start this shall we?" After he announced we can see Melanie up there, waving to us and everyone in the club went wild, as always. Then she played some loud fast techno music as Izzy and Mimi walked towards us. They both bought something to drink, as I elbow'd Izzy and whispered, "Have fun man, or drink a lot so you can."

He smiled, "Shots?" I nodded as I ordered them for all of us. We cheered and drank it all in a instant. Sora tapped my shoulder and whispered, "Mimi get's easily drunk, so careful." I smiled and kept ordering shots after shots, I noticed Mimi getting a little comfortable with Izzy. I admit it, it's funny seeing Mimi drunk, she instantly grabbed Izzy and they went on the dance floor together. I decided to dance too, so I grabbed Sora and went to the dance floor with her. I didn't actually dance dirty with her since she has a semi-relationship going on, I decided to just dance like I used to, like a fool. She kept laughing at me, it was nice having Sora to myself and just spend time with her. After an hour Melanie came down and noticed what was happening with the other two.

"Tai, you gave her a lot to drink didn't you?" She asked as I nodded. Everyone kept coming up to her complementing her on how good she did. Then the three of us went back to the bar, and asked for more drinks. Sora and Melanie's eyes were glued at the other two who were practically having dry sex on the dance floor not caring who was starring, I started laughing and gave him a thumbs up.

-Two Hours/ Izzy's Views -

I noticed Mimi was feeling a little not like herself, she's been with me the whole entire time. I asked her, "Mimi, would you like to go back home? I can drop you off if you'd like?"

She giggled, "S-sure thing! Let's go, go, go!" I sighed in relief and walked to Sora, "Hey Sora, I'll be dropping her home. See you guys, I had a nice time!"

She smiled and nodded, waving goodbye to us as we grabbed a taxi. I told the guy her house address as he started driving. She rested her head on my shoulder as I patted her shoulder lightly.

"You know Izzy, you're like the most coolest guy ever!" I blushed at her comment. I paid the guy and thank him as we walked towards the door. I looked at her while she opened the door, then she moved close to me. After one blink I noticed that her lips her on mines, I was kissing her! I moved back as she frowned yet offered seductively, "Would you like to continue this?"

I was speechless, I just met this girl. Before I can answer she pulled me in the house, and slamming the door and locked lips with me once again.

-Tai's Views-

After a couple more hours of drinking and dancing, I noticed the time, '2:36, we should go home.' I saw Melanie and Sora on the dance floor, dancing with a group of people as I sighed and grabbed them both, "Okay you two, let's go home, now let's get the other two."

Sora laughed, "You didn't noticed Tai? You're so stupid! They already left like two hours ago!" I slapped my forehead and grabbed a taxi and we all jumped in, being really loud saying anything that comes in our heads. We arrived home, Sora was already sleeping, so I carried her into the house as Melanie paid the taxi driver. After that, I was exhausted, I didn't care where I was sleeping, I closed my door and landed on the floor not wanting to try and get on to my bed as I drifted peacefully to sleep.

-Melanie's Views-

After I changed into something comfortable I heard some loud banging coming towards the right of my wall. The direction where Mimi's room was. I shrugged and hopped on my bed going under my blanket, then I heard some moans along with the loud banging as, I got frustrated to the point where I yelled.

"Shut up, Mimi! I'm trying to sleep!"

"Fuck y-you!" I groaned in response and walked in Sora's room, I whispered, "Hey Sor I-"

She lying on the bed taking up all the space as I sighed and closed the door slowly. Walking to Tai's room, I walked in and I see him on the floor snoring as I giggled to myself. 'Poor guy, he fell asleep on the floor.' I jumped on his bed and drifted to sleep.

The next morning, I woke up with a huge headache and noticed I was sleeping in Tai's room, I carried his body onto his bed and patted his head. I walked down to cook breakfast, I completely forgot why I was sleeping in his room but I just kept on cooking. After I ate someone knocked on the door as I walked towards it, I opened the door and noticed a tall blue haired man standing in front of me fixing his glasses, "Hello."

He looked up and smiled awkwardly, "Ah, h-hello. I'm Joe, Izzy's roommate, I was wondering if he was here since he didn't come home last night."

Then I finally found out why, he hooked up with Mimi! I smiled and nodded, "He's still sleeping. Come in though, you're probably hungry."

He looked down coming in as I walked him to the kitchen and handed him a plate of food, "Thank you."

I smiled and snapped my fingers, "Oh crap, I forgot, names Melanie Carisho. Pleasure to meet you."

He grinned back, "Jou Kido."

After we ate we talked for a while, waiting for Izzy to wake up. We talked about jobs, interests, and all that. I noticed how shy and calm he was, and how he's a doctor, pretty impressive. Someone came slowly into the kitchen and whined, "My back hurts. My head hurts, everything- Oh hey Joe, what's up?"

He chuckled, "Just here. Too much fun tonight, Tai?" He nodded and grabbed a bowl of food and sat next to me.

I whispered in his ear explaining what happened last night, "You fell asleep on the floor but when I woke up I carried you on your bed."

He smiled, "Thanks, so Joe why are you here? Isn't Izzy home?" He adjusted his glasses and shook his head as Tai jaw was opened. Then another person came in the kitchen rubbing his neck, it was Izzy of course, clothes looked messy, hair messed up and a neck full of love marks.

"Oh, Izzy, someone had a good 24th birthday." We all said in unison as he looked at us and turned red.

"Go have some breakfast, Iz." He shook his head and added, "No thanks I have something to do today."

Joe got up and started walking slowly towards the door with Izzy, "We'll be heading out now."

Tai and I waved bye to them as I closed the door he grinned widely and pumped his fist in the air, "Yes! Izzy got some! Alright, that's my boy!" I smacked him in the head and smiled as Sora walked towards us, "Last night was too mu-"

We cut her off and shouted, "Mimi hooked up with Izzy!" Her eyes were widen and mouthed 'Oh shit.' She walked to the kitchen as Tai and I kept talking about last night.

-Mimi's Views-

After doing what I had to do in the bathroom, I cleaned myself fast and ran downstairs going to grab something to eat. I smiled at the other three who were talking until they all just starred at me. I raised a eyebrow and went on to the kitchen to eat. After I was done I sat next to Tai and Sora as I sighed and got comfortable.

"You feeling okay Meems?" I nodded in response.

"Had a good time last night?" I shrugged, as I heard them laughing a little.

"I don't get what's so damn funny?"

"You seriously don't remember? Anything, from last night?"

I groaned getting mad and shook my head, "I remember the dancing and all that, then I fell asleep."

"Liar! You hooked up with Izzy! You made too much noise so I slept with Tai in his room!" My heart dropped and my face turned red, I was embarrassed. I didn't think that would happen, I didn't like Izzy even if he's a really good guy. I frowned and looked down on myself. I felt a arm around my shoulder and then Tai whispered in my ear, "It's okay Meems, you were drunk. Nothing bad." I sighed and just shrugged. Then he added, "I fell asleep on the floor, she slept on my bed." I smiled a little, knowing that nothing happened between Tai or anyone.

A/N: I decided to do my talking after the story ends, hi guys! Hoped you guys liked the chapter. I didn't think I did good, but hey, at least I finally got my lazybutt writing.
