Author's note: so i know i said i was gonna update the other day but i have been busy with birthday stuff. but im in a really spinneli mood tonight so im updating. last chapter of the two shot enjoy :)

After we dropping Manny off at Emma's house - whom I found out was Mr. Simpson's daughter. Yeah. Weird - we drove to Spinner's loft. It wasn't that big but it looked comfortable enough for Spinner and his wife.

Jay led us inside and he went straight to the fridge. I started to feel awkward - being in a place I didn't know with people I barely knew - but his house was a pretty comfortable place.

I sat down on his couch and propped my feet up on the table. Jay come out with a handful of beers. He tossed one to me, one to Spinner and he set the other six down on the table. He cracked open his own and held it up in the air. "To Spinner's baby!"

Spinner smiled and raised his beer, as did I. We toasted and began drinking.

Fourty-two empty beer cans laid on Spinner's table. It was safe to say, we were drunk.

"S-so, you dated Darcy's little sister?" Jay asked.

I nodded.

"Did-did you get some?"

"No!" I yelled. "She had a pruity ring!"

Jay laughed and pointed at me. "Then that is what you need! You need to fuck a girl and get it out then go back to virgin Clare and say sorry,"

"Yes!" Spinner yelled. "We need to find you a whore!"

I laughed so hard, I dropped my beer. "No! No!"

"D-dude, you need it!" Jay yelled.

"She would kill me!"

"But she's not with you anymore! You can fuck aaaaaaanyone you want!"

Spinner and I laughed.

"S-so, names for your bay?" I asked Spinner.

Spinner pointed at me. "B-Becca. Cause it rhymes with Emma!"

"YES!" Jay shouted and grabbed another beer.

"You need to quit," Spinner laughed.

"I'm fine! I-I'm not even drunk," Jay said.

I laughed like a seal, doubling over on the couch. My phone started buzzing. "G-Guys, guys shhh, it's my mom,"

Jay gasped and looked at Spinner with wide eyes. "Oh no!" he whispered and started laughed.

"H-Hello?" I answered.

"Eli, where are you?"

"M-mom!" I cheered. "Hey, what's up, buddy?"

Spinner and Jay erupted in laughter.

"Elijah, are you drunk?"

"Pssh, no!" I laughed.

"Where the hell are you and why are you drinking?"

"M-mom, chiiiiiiiill. I'm fine and with adults,"

"Who are you with?"

"Wanna talk to em?" I yelled.

"Elijah, you need to get your ass home right now,"

"But if I drive, I'll die," I said, cheery.

"I wanna know where the hell you are,"

"H-his name is...Speener. And I will be home tomorrow,"

"Elijah Ryan Goldsworthy,"

"M-ma, Mommy, Momma, listen. I'm a big boy now and I can drink by myself. Just believe in me! Believe! And all of your dreams will c-come true,"

"Elijah!" My mother yelled.

"Well, yes, mother?"

Jay and Spinner started laughing again.

I heard my mom sighed. "You stay where you are tonight, but tomorrow I am going to ground you forever,"

"Oh, mommy. I love you!" I yelled.

She hung up. I closed my phone and looked up at Jay and Spinner with a surprised face. "She hung up!"

"OH NO!" They yelled together. We all started laughing.

The sunlight shined bright into my eyes and I groaned. "Ugh,"

When I sat up, my stomach turned and I opened my mouth, ready to barf but nothing came up. "Oh my god,"

I took in my surroundings and realized I was still at Spinner's on his...bathroom floor. Okay then.

I walked out and noticed that Jay was asleep on the couch, the living room was trashed. And there were sixty-three beer cans on the table. Oh man.

Spinner was in the kitchen, leaning against the counter with a coffee mug. "Hey, man," he muttered when I cam into the kitchen. He handed me a pill bottle. "I'm just assuming you'll need these,"

I nodded and took two of the asprin. I grabbed a mug from the cupboard and poured myself some coffee.

"Don't you have school today?" Spinner asked.

I glanced at the clock and noticed it was one o'clock. "I guess not,"

I started drinking the coffee and Jay walked in. He grabbed a cup, too. "Damn,"

"Yeah," Spinner agreed.

"My mom is so gonna kill me,"

"I bet she is," Spinner said. "She called last night, remember?"

"Ahh, fuck," I grabbed my phone and checked my history. Sure enough, she did call. Dammit, I was so dead.

"Okay, Eli, you're seventeen. She can't hate you for having a beer or two," Jay said.

I snorted. "Yeah, but she can for having twenty-one beers with two strangers and staying out all night,"

"That is true," Jay said. He downed the rest of the coffee and placed the mug in the sink. "I should get to the shop. Eli, I'll call you when your car is done,"

"Yeah, thanks, whatever,"

Jay took three asprins and left.

I took my coffee into the living room and sat on the couch, placing the mug on the table. I put my head in my hands and tried to take deep breaths. My mom really was gonna kill me. I already seemed unstable to them and this wouldn't make it any better.

I felt the couch shift next to me. "Dude, are you okay?"

"No!" I yelled. "Everything is so messed up!" I hated myself for letting some tears spill out of my eyes.

"You're telling me your parents have never been mad at you before? They'll get over it,"

"No! They are already convinced that I'm crazy! I'm gonna have to go to more therapy because they're gonna be thinking this is a coping technique. I fucking hate therapy! Fuck, my life is messed up,"

"Eli, Eli, calm down. It'll be okay!"

"Spinner, you don't even know me! My life is never okay!" I brought my head up fromy my hands to look at him.

He sighed and placed his mug on the table. "Look, I don't know what you're dealing with, but believe me it will get better,

"How do you know?" I whispered, hopelessly.

"Because...I got my best friend shot," he stated without emotion. "And the whole school hated me. I lost every friend I ever had. I put my best friend in a wheel chair for life. But then I met Clare's sister, Darcy, and everything got better. I made friends. I was happy. And you know what? My best friend forgave me and so did all my other friends and suddenly, everything was back to normal excpet I had learned to appreciate what I had,"

I laughed. "That's heart-warming and all, Spin, but I've already lost someone. And I already appreciated what I had and Clare still left me. For the little bit I was with her, I felt like everything was okay. Like I was normal, like I could get better. But now she's gone and I'm completely...broken,"

"It's gonna take some time, man, but it will look up. I can promise you that. It may not be because of a girl or a best friend, but something will happen and you'll life will get better,"

I sighed. "I really doubt that,"

"You shouldn't," he smiled at me and I smiled back.

"Thank you," I said, sincereley. "I can't really talk to anyone else about this. They don't understand what I'm going through,"

"Eli, I know we just met, but if you ever need to talk...you know where I live. Just cause you're a junior and you're kinda crazy doesn't mean we can't hang out and be friends, right?"

I noded and smiled. "Right,"

"Okay, then, let's drive you home and we'll try to convince your mom not to slaughter you,"

I laughed and stood up, following him out the door.

At this moment, it felt like Spinner was no only my friend, but my role-model.

Author's note: what kind of ending was that? omg. but uh any misspelled words during the drunk scene were supposed to be that way. but yes reviews? no? okay. thanks for reading!
