Well, the BETA-ing took so long, I decided on doing it myself… Please excuse my grammar mistakes, I'm Dutch… XD

I wanted to thank you all for still reading my fan fiction, even though I've never met anyone who updates this slowly. Especially since I've actually finished chapter twelve already!

Enjoy!

''Whoa!'' I sighed in amazement.
The black limousine stopped in front of the biggest building I had ever seen. Every inch of it was enlightened by enormous spotlights, and there was a huge line with people in front of it.
As I slowly put one of my legs out of the big car, I could feel the bass from the music that was playing inside of the club pounding through my body.
I looked at the sky. The sun had just set, but there was still a ray of pink clouds visible above the buildings. I closed my eyes, and felt the cool summer breeze against my skin.
''Hello?! May we please go out, too?'' Diamond asked me teasingly.
''Dunno, I like sitting here actually.''
He laughed, and pushed me out of the car.
My friends, Platina and the people she had invited, Diamond and Pearl, followed behind.
The atmosphere in the limousine had been very tense. The only person I had spoken to aside of my own friends was Diamond. He was a nice guy, really. He loved to eat. Our conversations had mainly been about food, noticing that was kind of the only thing we had in common.
''Nice, eh?'' Pearl said proudly.
''Yes it is!'' Yellow giggled. It was nice to see that she had decided to talk with other people from us, too.
Platina hadn't spoken a word since I had gotten into the car.
She didn't seem very happy.
Green had been looking at her for the last fifteen minutes, but not with amazement or something like that, he looked at her with annoyance.
'Wait, annoyance?'
I looked at him worriedly.
''Hey! You three! Are you coming?!'' I heard a voice call out to us. I blinked, and noticed everyone but Green, Platina and me had already walked to a red door with a sign that said 'V.I.P.'. Platina flipped her raven hair and walked towards them. Green sighed and also walked on. He stopped, though. ''You coming?'' He asked me over his shoulder.
''...Um, yeah!'' I ran to him. We walked over to the rest of the people.
''Hey, Green?'' I asked him uncertainly.
''What is it?''
''Did you and Platina have a fight?''
''...'' He didn't answer me.
I looked at him.
It seemed that he couldn't find the right words.
Suddenly he answered me, ''don't worry about it.''
I was stunned. 'Don't worry about it'? What kind of answer was that?!
I didn't tell him this though.
''Man, you guy's are so slow!'' Pearl sighed.
''Maybe you're just fast.'' I told him. He laughed.
''Yeah, that could be the case.''

A tall man with a black suit opened the door for us.
As we stepped into the heat of the building, a sigh escaped my lips for the second time this evening, ''Whoa!''.
The room we entered -although you could hardly call it a room- was huge.
It was mostly dark, but the dance floor was enlightened with many spotlights in different colours.
There were smaller rooms built on poles, with big couches on them.
The stairs that lead to them were also decorated with many lights.
The bar in the middle of the dance floor was round, and also enlightened with coloured lights. On top of it was the DJ's turntable. Right now there was a guy on it. He looked like he was about our age.
''Well, what're we standing out here for?'' Red asked. He walked straight up to the dance floor. Pearl and Yellow followed behind.
''I'll be on one of those couches, if you're looking for me.'' Diamond smiled sheepishly while pointing to one of the rooms on poles.
''What're you guys going to do? I asked Green and Platina.''
They were silent for a moment.
''Well? Aren't you going to ask me to dance?'' Platina suddenly asked.
Her voice was different from what I had expected. I had expected it to be annoying and squeaky, but it was calm and...
-a Kind of lonely.
I suddenly realised this was the first time I heard her talk. Well, I had heard her sing of course... But people's voices always sound different when they sing from when they talk.
''I'll ask you when I feel like making a fool of myself in front of a bunch of people, thank you very much.'' He said.
...That was kinda harsh, wasn't it?
I then noticed I probably wasn't meant to be here right now, so I turned around and walked up to the bar.
''Hey there.'' A boy with brown said while I sat down on a bar stool.
''You know, I don't think I have ever seen someone with Green eyes this beautiful.'' He said, wiggling his eyebrows at me.
''My eyes are blue, thank you very much.'' I said.
''Aw, come on... Don't be like that. Here, have a drink. This one's on me.'' He said.
'I'll be like whatever the hell I want.' I thought. I liked the sound of a free drink, though. So I answered, ''Yeah, why not.''
''Two beers, please.'' He called out to the barkeeper.
''What's your name anyway?'' He asked me.
''Anne.'' I said.
Geez, he wasn't thinking I'd actually tell him my name, was he?
''Alright then, Anne. I'm Peter. You can call me Pete, though.''
Ok, so he was.
He passed my drink over to me when the barkeeper put it on the bar.
''So... Can I have your phone number?''
''Sure.'' I said. Just playing dumb was best on these guys. If I rejected him at once, he'd probably follow me around all evening. I pretended to search my pockets, and then sighed. ''Too bad, seems like I don't have a pen on me.''
''Don't worry, I have one.'' He smirked at me while he handed me over a white ball pen.
I sighed. Didn't this guy care I didn't want him?
I wrote down the number I had remembered being on a note on our refrigerator. I believe it was from a restaurant or something.
''Ok, then. I'll call you!'' He said, winking at me.
'You bet.' ''Yeah, ok.''
He then stood up. I looked at him walking away. Suddenly he stopped to talk to another girl. It looked like he used the exact same lines on her as he used on me.

People kept talking to me, asking my phone number and offering me drinks for about an hour.
At a certain point I got so annoyed that I just glared at every person that came a bit too close to the bar stools next to me.
''Is this seat taken?'' I heard someone ask me.
'...Not again...' I turned around to face the person that dared to hit on me, already glaring.
For some reason my vision was getting more blurred with the minute.
It took me a while to notice the person that was talking to me was Green.
''What're you glaring at me for?'' He asked me, raising an eyebrow.
''...Never mind. It's just that... Guys have been hitting on me and offering me drinks all night.''
''Huh?'' He looked at me again. ''How many beers have you been drinking?''
I giggled. ''I lost the count at fifteen.'' I laughed at him sheepishly.
''What?! You drank over fifteen drinks offered by people you don't even know?! They could have put something dangerous in your drink!''
''Like what, ice cubes?'' I giggled at my own joke.
From what I could see, Green was rubbing his temples with a furious expression.
''Hey, you!'' He called out to the barkeeper.
''Huh?'' The man said.
''What are you, brain dead?! Didn't you notice how people kept offering her beers all night?''
''Like I care. If she didn't want to get drunk, why the hell did she come to this bar?''
He started to show signs that made me suspicious he could attack the barkeeper any moment.
''Ehehehe, Green! Why're you so mad? The drinks were nice!'' I told him with a goofy smile on my face.
He looked at me for a few seconds.
''You. Are. Going. Home. Now.'' He slowly said, he looked like he was desperately trying to control his temper.
He took me by my arm, but I couldn't think or walk properly, so I tripped over my own feet.
He pulled me up roughly.
It hurt, but all I could do was laugh like an idiot.
After walking through the mass of people for a while, he stopped walking.
I tripped again, and then slowly looked up. -Not that I could move any faster than this at the moment.-
I Could see Green was talking to Red.
The raven haired boy looked at me, and then nodded.
''Hi, Red.'' I said. Again giggling. He probably couldn't hear me because of the volume of the music, though.
Suddenly the room seemed to change colour. I laughed, ''ehehehe, colours.''
When I looked up again, I noticed Red was gone.
Green looked at me, and then pulled me up. More gently this time.
''We're going. Red'll tell the rest.''
''Going where? I was just having fun!'' I told him, blinking my eyes in surprise.
He sighed and pulled me with him, while walking towards the door.

''Shit, looks like we have to walk.'' He said.
''Why don't we take a bus?''
''You try finding a bus at 2 am.''
''Ok!'' I chirped, trying to run to a bus stop.
He grabbed my arm to stop me.
''That was sarcasm.'' He sighed.
''Oh, right.'' I giggled.
Green started walking.
It wasn't a very nice walk for him.
He had to pull me up every thirty seconds, and half-drag me to my house.

''You're such a nice friend, Green!'' I told him happily.
''What was I supposed to do, leave you there until you get raped by some old pervert?''
''I was giving you a compliment, you know.'' I told him.
''Yeah, but there's no need to say thanks since you probably won't remember tonight tomorrow anyway. And oh, yeah. Expect a major headache and the need to throw up all day.''
''...I don't understand.''
''Of course you don't, you're drunk.''
I pulled my arm loose and turned around to face him.
''What now?'' He turned around, too.
''Why are you so mean to me? I didn't do anything to you, yet you're treating me like dirt all evening.''
He blinked.
Suddenly his expression changed from annoyed to sad.
He was quiet for a while.
''...Since you'll forget everything tomorrow anyway, I might as well tell you.''
''Tell me what?''
He paused, and then said, ''That Platina is mad at me for hanging out with you too much. Actually, she told me that if I'm alone with you one more time, she'll break up with me. And here we are.'' He sounded quite desperate.
I was quiet for a while.
I then said, ''...She... Told you that?''
I was surprised. She told him that, and he took it?
''Were you planning on just stopping being friends with me after sixteen years? because of your girlfriend?''
I couldn't see his face since it was too dark, but he probably wasn't looking very happy.
''I don't understand... Is this what our friendship means to you?'' Even though I was plain drunk, according to what Green told me, I still felt emotions. His words, for example, hurt. It was like someone had stabbed me with a knife.
I noticed that my vision became even more blurry than it already was. Was I crying?
''No...'' His voice sounded strange, like he didn't get enough air, ''...Actually I was planning on breaking up with her.''
''...'' I didn't know what to say.
''...Thank you...'' was all I could think of.
I was now totally sure I was crying. And not just teardrops, but the tears were actually pouring down my face.
Well, at least it wasn't thundering.
''CRASH!''
The irony.
Small, cold droplets started falling down. Uncertainly at first, but then the sky roared and started raining down.
''...W-Why does your voice sound so weird?'' I asked him.
''Because I'm trying to stop myself from crying like some kind of little girl, you idiot.''
''Don't. It's raining, no one will notice.''

''Shit, I have to get you home or you will get sick!''
''Don't worry! I'll be slow anyway, you know I'm bad at running, and I'll probably keep tripping. I'll get sick anyway.''
''...Then there's only one option.''
'Huh? What was he going to-...'
''Wha-?!'' Was all I could say when he lifted me up in his arms.
Even though I was plain drunk, that didn't stop me from blushing heavily.
I was glad He didn't see it because of the rain.
''Put me down! I'm heavy!''
''No you aren't.'' He sighed, before muttering something that sounded like, ''...women...''
Green started running as the storm continued.

After a while of hiding my face in my hands so he couldn't see I was blushing, I saw our houses in the distance.
''There's my house!'' I chirped, waving my hands in the air as if to tell my house we were almost there.
''...Don't...Move...like that... or I'll drop you...''
Knowing Green, he was serious, so I just shut up.
We were coming closer and closer, until suddenly we entered the front garden.
He put me down, as I tried to find my keys.
I was very slow because of all the beer, though. ''Here they are. Oh wait!'' I told him, after I had dropped my keys on the ground.
''Ehehehe.'' I giggled, picking up my keys and slowly unlocking the door.
As soon as we heard a small 'click!' Green opened the door and helped me go in without tripping.
''Just go to the living room and sit down, ok? I'll get you something to drink.''
''Right.''
I clumsily walked into the living room and sat down on the couch.
Too bad that I was only sober for a few seconds, being drunk was no fun.
Even though I felt stupid right now, and slow too... I couldn't stop laughing.
I noticed I started shivering. ''I'm cold.''
''What?!'' Green yelled from the kitchen.
''I said I'm cold!''
He entered the living room, threw a towel at my head and put down a cup of tea in front of me.
''Thank you!'' I said, smirking at him.
''Hey, Green.''
''What is it?''
''Why did you have to cry just yet?''
''I didn't!''
''You were going to!''
''...It was because she is the person I care for the most, and you are my... best friend...''
I was quiet for a while.
...I didn't understand.
I felt tears drip down my cheeks. Slowly, this time.
I dropped my head, so my bangs would cover my face and he wouldn't see my tears.
He did, though. ''...W-what is it?''
I might as well tell him.
''...It's so unfair...'' I told him, even though my voice sounded strange.
''What's unfair?'' He sounded surprised.

He stood up from the chair he was sitting on, and sat down on the couch, next to me.
''...How come... We've been friends for sixteen years, and in two months... You have come to care about her more than me in al those years?''
''W-what... How do you mean?''
''Just answer!'' I asked, sobbing like crazy and covering my face with my hands, which caused my voice to sound even stranger.
He was thinking for a while, and then answered me, ''...I care about you in a different way.''
''...Why?!''

''...Why?! She doesn't make you happy, I can see it in your eyes!''

''...If you love her so much, just go tell her. I'm tired of this drama! You love her! Don't accept her dumping you so easy, you... you... Jerk!''

All at once, he turned me around and put his arms around me, pulling me into a tight embrace.
''I can't stand watching you cry. Even if you don't know what you're doing or saying.''
I didn't know what to say, so I just kept quiet.
After a while, he pulled away.
''You should sleep. But just so you know, when you wake up you'll feel like someone has just thrown up on top of you.''
I still didn't know anything to say, so I just stood up, and tried to walk to the hallway as casually as possible.
I didn't do a very good job.
Actually, I fell down for the 1000th time tonight and he managed to grab my arm just in time.
''Thanks.'' I said, and nodded stiffly.
I opened the door for him.
''You sure you won't fall of the stairs and break a leg?''
''No.'' I said, and tried closing the door. He put his foot in the doorway, though, and walked back in.
''I will not take that risk.''
''Ok.'' I said and tried to walk the stairs.
This had been the most important reason I wanted him to leave, because I actually had to crawl the stairs to not fall down.
He was laughing at me right now.
''You should have just left.'' I snapped.
''And miss this? Yeah right!''
After about fifteen minutes I finally succeeded in climbing the stairs and get into my room.
''Can I now be sure that you won't break anything?''
''Yeah, I guess so.''
''Ok then, see you tomorrow!''
''Yep, bye.'' I said, climbing into my bed while still wearing my boots.
He grinned at me, before closing the door.
I listened to his footsteps and waited until I heard the door slam.
I finally let out the deep sigh that I had been saving for fifteen minutes.

Well, a drunk Blue! How surprising! ;D
