Jason's Condo

About 40 plus people showed up at Jason's the night of his weekend party. A lot of people Ricky hasn't seen in awhile. Both Ricky and Frankie already inside drinking as if it was a typical weekly event for them. Sam of course happy, but a bit surprise to see Ricky.

Door opens and Zack walks in with Aly and Brad. First thing Aly does was look around for Ricky. They finally see him in the kitchen.

Ricky takes a shot with a bunch of Jason's friends. Turns and sees Zack. "Zack, my man...whats she doing here?" He asks noticing Aly.

"She..uh..wanted to come?'' Zack not really knowing what to say.

Ricky begins to walk toward the group, now approaching Aly. "You here to criticize my lifestyle?''

Aly could smell the alcohol as he talks.

"No...I came to say I'm sorry for what I said. Ricky I know this isn't you anymore." Aly almost having to yell from the noise surrounding them.

"You're just saying that. Look, you shouldn't be here. Just go back to your fancy hotel." Ricky says. He walks off back to the island counter and takes another shot. The crowd cheers.

"Oh hey Zack over here." Jason says calling him in the living room.

Zack looks over and turns back to Aly and Brad. "I'm sorry. I mean if you guys really want too, your free to stay. I'll keep a close eye on Ricky." He walks off to the living room.

"So what now?" Brad asks Aly.

Aly really frustrated from Ricky. She grabs two beers from the cooler placed on the side of the room .Hands one to Brad. "Cheers. We're staying." She clinks beers with his and opens the can, then starts chugging.

Brad a bit confused, doesn't ask questions but joins in and drinks his beer. He smiles as he notices the crowd of attractive girls in the room.

About two hours go on and Aly's completely wasted. Ricky pretty much sobered up. He's been low key watching Aly with every drink she took, keeping tabs.

Barely on two feet she stumbles walking. Jason catches her. "Hey there beautiful. Glad to see you came to my party."

She stands back up. "Yeah. Thanks for being to cool about me and uh..my friend staying and joining you guys."

"Yeah. No, it's no problem...so you uh...single." He says slowly walking toward her.

Ricky watching from across the room gets up from his chair.

"Cause you know...I was thinking..." Jason continues to talk. Brad sees from the corner of his eye and immediately stops what hes doing and makes his way over.

"You and I could..." Jason coming on to Aly. He places his hand on her arm. Aly not fully understanding whats going on doesn't resists. Brad interrupts Jason.

"Excuse me..you mind backing up." Brad says standing in between Aly and Jason. He takes a look into Jason's eyes and notice they're blood shot.

"Yeah I do mind. You're in my way." Jason says a little pissed off. Ricky starts walking toward them. Zack sees and follows.

"Jason come on." Ricky says trying to pull away his friend.

"No. This faggot wants to be a cock blocker.''

"Shes not that kind of girl. " Ricky tells him.

Jason turns to his friend not believing what hes hearing. "Whos side are you on Ullman?!"

Jason raising his voice making few heads turn.

"Come on man its not like that. Its just I know this girl. And I care about her. And I know shes drunk as fuck right now so she doesnt really understand whats going on. So don't be that guy..or else we're really gonna have problems..." Ricky steps a little closer to Jason. "And what I mean is I will personally beat the living crap out of you."

Jason takes a good look into Rickys eyes and sees the truth. He looks back at Brad in front of Aly...and walks away. "Lets get back to the party!" Jason yells acting like he wasn't threaten and nothing happened.

"Thanks man." Brad says to Ricky. He turns to Aly. "You alright?"

"I think I'm gonna be sick." She says.

"Ah shit. Okay we're leaving." Brad says wrapping her arm around his neck so he can support her.

"You think you're gonna be okay?" Ricky asks.

"Yeah we should be good." Brad tells him as they start moving toward the front door.

"Oh my god.." Aly says covering her mouth and running toward the bathroom. She rushes beating her body just in time starts throwing up in the toilet. Brad and Ricky stand outside the bathroom door.

"Great...just great." Brad says wondering how hes suppose to get her back while shes too drunk to even leave the building. "Amanda is gonna kill me." He leans his body against the wall.

Ricky stands next to him and does the same. "Could be worse..could be facing her parents."

"Yeah..but still with Amanda...*sigh* thats almost like both in one."

They continue to hear Aly vomit on the other side. After 15 minutes a line start to form.

"Okay I really need to get her out of here." Brad taking a glimpse of the crowd. "Is she finished?"

"Haven't heard anything lately." Ricky responds.

Brad knocks on the door but no answer. The two guys slowly turn the knob to open it. "Aly?'' Brad calling her name.

They see her sitting on the floor with her legs against her chest and the bath tub fully supporting her body. Both her eyes closed.

Brad calls her name again and moves her arm to wake her.

"mmmm..." she says still feeling sick.

Thinking about it Brad realize he has no choice but to fully carry her. "This is about to be some adventure"

He picks her up.

"Look I don't want Amanda seeing her like this. Probably gonna blame you and me and Zack for taking her. You guys should come to my loft and stay til Aly sobers up. Even if it takes til morning. We'll figure something to tell Aj." Ricky says to Brad.

Brad looks at Aly and nods in agreement. "Okay."

They begin to head toward the front door leaving Jason's. Samantha sees Ricky in their small group and walks over.

"Hey..are you going somewhere?" She asks.

"Yeah. I'm heading out. Gonna take them to my loft so Aly can sober up." He explains.

"What blondie got strict parents or something?" Samantha teases.

"Something like that..."

"Want me to come to?" She grabs Rickys hand. Brad standing at the side, holding Aly, notices.

"Its fine. You stay here." Ricky tells her, letting go of her hand.

"Okay..I'll see you around then?"

Ricky nods. Sam kisses his cheek and they leave.

Rickys Loft

They take a cab to Rickys. Brad places Aly onto Rickys bed so she can sleep. They put a bucket on the side just in case. Both of the guys go in the living room.

"Hey man thanks again for letting us chill here for a bit." Brad says to Ricky. He takes a seat on the couch.

Ricky hands Brad a bottle of water. "No problem."

Both guys drink their water and sit in silence thinking about events in the night. "Man she was really smash tonight." Brad says trying to kill the awkwardness.

"Yeah.."

"Sams cute...you two um?..." Brad asks Ricky.

"No...haha..ummm..shes..uh...a friend..with some pass history thats never...you know. Not really um...in the cards I feel." He tries to explain.

Brad turns to Ricky. "You really care about her huh?"

"Shes a good friend."

"Talking about Aly.." Brad tells him.

Ricky doesn't say anything just nods in response.

"Well she cares about you too. Pretty much why she came tonight. She wanted to fix things."

Ricky doesn't say a word just looks down and stares at his water. They both sit in silence once again. After awhile they broke the ice once more but talked endlessly about the 'Star Wars' trilogy.

Brad eventually falls asleep.

Ricky standing, staring at his view from outside the balcony. Its about 3 in the morning. He walks back in passes Brad on the couch and continues to make his way to his bed room. He takes a small peak, making sure Aly was still knocked out. Ricky grabs another water bottle from his kitchen, and Tylenol. He gently places both items on the bedside table. While being that close to her he puts his hand on her cheek and brushes his thumb against her face. Her eyes begin to slightly open. She sees the familiar boy, not really sure if shes dreaming or if this is real life.

"Rav..." Aly whispers.

"Shhh...its okay. You're okay... You're safe. Go back to sleep." Ricky whispers back to her.

She begins to close her eyes again. With the sound of his voice reassuring her. "Im sorry." She whispers.

He smirks. "Don't worry about it. Now go back to sleep." He grabs her hand and kisses it.

She smiles inside and goes back to sleep.

Ricky walks over and places a chair that was against the wall right next to the bed. He sits down, takes another look at her and allows himself to sleep.
