"I see the way he looks at you.." Danny said.
"HUH?" I practically laughed. I couldn't believe Danny was trying to convince me that Dougie has a thing for me.. "Seriously!" he urged. I turned and began walking further down the hallway towards the bathroom.."SERIOUSLY..come off the crack." i said sarcastically as i opened the girl's room door and walked inside, letting it swing closed behind me. A second later, Danny came bounding in behind me.
"Danny..this is the girls room..what are you doing?!" I yelled. The bathroom WAS empty..but he still wasn't supposed to be in here..
"Trying to open your eyes...." he replied. I scoffed. "Look..." i started.. "i'm not holding anything against you...im not mad at about what happened at the dance.. and we can just go back to being friends....but as for me and Dougie..theres NOTHING going on...HES MY BESTFRIEND..."
I stood there, arms crossed..waiting for Danny to either respond or leave the bathroom.. He threw his arms up in defeat, groaned, and walked out..headed back to Dougie's room.
After I was done in the bathroom...I washed my hands and headed back to Dougie's. When I got there, I acted normally..totally disregarding everything Danny said.. Tom was going on and on about some band audition...I walked over and sat on Doug's bed, about halfway down, Indian style, my arms on each side... A few seconds later, i felt Dougie's fingers caressing the top of my hand and wrist. I looked back to him and smiled...and when I turned back to face Tom..who was still talking about this band..even though none of us were really listening..(poor Tom!).. Danny raised his eyebrows at me and smirked. I rolled my eyes...He's crazy!...isnt he?...
Dougie's P.O.V.
After Andrea and I had finished eating our pancake breakfast, she excused herself to the bathroom..and a few seconds later, Danny hopped up and went running after her...leaving Tom and me alone...very out of the loop.
"I wonder what that's about?" Tom asked...as if i knew any more than he did... I shrugged.
When Danny came back in the room...Tom asked "What's up?"..referring to why he ran after Andrea. He replied.."I just wanted to apologize.." and smiled. I guess they worked it out. 'Cool' i thought.
When Andrea came back from the bathroom, she plopped down on my bed in her usual spot, sitting Indian style. With her arms on either side of her, her hand was only a few inches away from mine...so i reached out to touch it. Her skin was so soft...it always was.... it was like stroking silk... she smiled at me... 'i must be so obvious' i thought..and frowned.
Not long after, the nurse came in and said my mum was here to take me home... The boys left and Andrea said she was gonna run home, shower and change and meet me back at my house.. The doctors came in and changed the bandage across my shoulder and chest..and told me to try not to move it or strain it to much. I changed out of the hospital gown into some clothes my mum had brought for me, signed the discharge papers and headed out to the car. "I dont understand...why were you the only one shot?" She asked as she helped me into the passenger seat. "Mom, i'm fine..i can do it myself" i told her...not trying to be all 'macho' or anything but i did NOT need her help getting into the car...
After driving a few minutes, she brought up the bank again.."So are you gonna tell me the details of what really happened now?...I AM your mother.. i deserve to know these things." I rolled my eyes...i knew she'd never drop it. "The guy had Andrea." I said...staring out the window. She was looking at me..i knew it.. i didnt even have to SEE her to feel her confused stare burning into the back of my head... she didnt understand...she'd never understand. "Let's just forget about it for now?" I asked. "Sure honey." she replied.
We pulled into the driveway and i jumped out...the car was practically still moving. I headed through the front door and straight up to my room. I didnt want to talk to my mom anymore..she just made things worse..she never said the right thing at the right time.. I plopped down on my bed and inhaled deeply, my face in my pillowcase. The smell of my room was far better than that of the hospital. I was glad to be home. I put on my blink-182 cd and cranked up the volume until things in my room started rattling... i lazily climbed out of bed and over to my bathroom and turned on the shower...
Andrea's P.O.V.
I left the hospital and went straight home. I jumped in the shower, put on a fresh pair of clothes, and rubbed some scented lotion on my arms, hands and face. I pulled my wet mop of hair onto a bun on top of my head and headed downstairs. It was mid-afternoon and my mom was in the kitchen. "Hey mom...do we have any cupcakes or anything?" I asked her as i started rummaging through some cabinets. "Uh..no?" she replied.. "I think your father might have made some brownies the other day though...check the fridge." she said. "The fridge?" i asked, surprised. "Beats me..your father likes them cold." she said, laughing.
Fridge. I opened it. Yup..there they were...a plate full of brownies. I grabbed a couple, wrapped them in a paper towel and headed towards the front door. "Bye mom. I'm off to Dougie's house." i yelled as i closed the front door behind me. I cut across the lawn to the sidewalk and continued down the sidewalk till i got to his house. As i approached his house, I heard the sounds of guitars and drumbs..and recognized the tune...it was Dougie's blink cd. I giggled to myself. I knocked on the front door. "Hi again Mrs. P" i said, as Dougie's mom answered the door. She let me inside and rolled her eyes at the noise. The music coming from Dougie's room was so loud, you had to practically shout in order to be heard. She just pointed to the stairs, i nodded thankfully, and ran up them, two at a time...brownies in hand. When i got to his door, i didnt bother to knock..i knew he wouldn't hear it over the music. So i just opened the door and walked in.. right as Dougie, already shirtless, dropped his boxers! I gasped, dropped the brownies and rushed out..closing the door behind me. 'OHMYGOD' I screached...barely audible above "Feeling This" (blink-182)...
Chapter Seventeen.
Andrea's P.O.V.
I leaned my back against his door and slid down until my bum was only a couple of inches off the ground.. I heard Dougie rummaging around in his room and laughed to myself...Then, unexpectedly, the door went flying open...i fell onto my back..and Dougie who was half running out of his room with a towel tied around his waist tripped over me in his doorway...falling on top of me..his foot practically in my mouth....
Dougie's P.O.V.
I was taking off my clothes, ready to get in the shower. Sweatshirt, tee, jeans... i sat on the edge of my bed and took my socks off and as i stood and dropped my boxers, the door flew open..and there was Andrea with a friendly smile across her face.. She saw me standing there and shocked, dropped whatever she was carrying and turned around, slamming the door behind her. I was mortified.
'SHITTTT' i thought. I couldn't believe that just happened... i KNEW i should have put a lock on that door!!! I ran over into the bathroom and grabbed a towel, wrapping it around my waist as i pulled open the door..ready to run after her.. i didnt get very far though. As soon as i opened the door, she fell into the room and i tripped...landing on top of her. When i fell, her knee hit my armpit. I rolled off of her clutching my shoulder in pain.... Could this day get any worse? She sat up, looking simpathetically at me... "Crap. you okay Doug?" she yelled over the music. I moaned..i couldn't even form any words. She crawled over to me and helped me sit up, leaning against the doorjam. I grinded my teeth and clenched my fists in pain, holding them up to my forehead. I didnt want her to see me like this. After a few minutes..i grimaced, stood up, and walked into my bathroom...closing and locking the door behind me. I left her alone in my room. I know she probably felt bad..but i REALLY didnt want to face her right now..This was so embarrasing...
I heard her voice outside the door of the bathroom. I was sitting on the toilet, the lid down..my head in my hands. "Yeah..Doug..i think im gonna go....but..uh.. see you tomorrow? at lunch?" she asked. I raised my head from my hands and stared at the bathroom door... When i heard the door to my bedroom close, assuming she had left..i punched the wall. Dammmit!...as if things were'nt weird enough to begin with!
Andrea's P.O.V.
The next day back at school was relatively normal. All my classes went smoothly, with a few people asking if Dougie was okay. I told them he was, and that he's around school somewhere...Everytime someone brought him up though, I thought about him standing naked in his room, completely stunned by my sudden entrance.. I couldn't help but fill up with butterflies..
RING... lunch bell. This'll be the first time i see Dougie since...well...the incident in his room. I ditched my math books in my locker and nervously headed towards the lunchroom. I walked past the bathroom.... "Wait" i said outloud to myself. I turned back and headed through the girls room door...
Inside, I observed myself in the mirror...fluffed my hair, then checked my makeup and overall appearance... I sighed. I was nervous and had a rush of adrenaline....'this is stupid' i thought...its DOUGIE... I slowly opened the bathroom door and merged my way into the crowded hallway...everyone was headed to lunch. I skipped the coke and headed towards the door outside. When i got outside..i saw Dougie sitting in the grass..leaning against the tree, staring off into space. I slowly approached him and stopped at his feet... looking around the front lawn, trying to find what he was so mesmorized over. I cleared my throat. He looked up at me for a second, then down to his hands- where he was pulling apart pieces of grass. "Hi" he said quietly. "Hey" i replied. I sat down next to him. "Sorry..about last night" i genuinely started. He looked up to me, and nervously chuckled. "i'ts cool" he said. There was a moment of awkward silence..as we both stared off into space. Finally, he looked to me and smiled...i knew everything was going to be okay. "You owe me now you know..." he joked.."for the 'show' i mean." He nudged me with his elbow and i giggled. "Sure Doug...sure" i laughed...
A few minutes later, Danny and Tom joined us under 'our tree' and the day progressed as normal, despite a few meaningful smiles exchanged between Dougie and me..and a few suspicious looks from Danny...
Everything that week went by as normal... once Dougie learned that Danny and Tom played guitar, everyday after school at my house became a jam session. While they practiced and worked all the technicallities out in my room, I baked cookies or brownies down in the kitchen...so that they could "surprise" me later on with a song... Most of them were Beatles songs..and they actually did a pretty good job playing them too. I never realized the three of them were such good singers...
That Friday Night, we decided to go see a scarey movie. After we bought our tickets, we were heading down the stairs to the theaters, i tripped...about three stairs up and fell on the ground. THUD. I could hear all of the guys in hysterics behind me. As i pulled myself up onto all fours I saw someone jogging towards me, a smile on his face. It was Harry! He came over and helped me to my feet. "Gnarly wipeout dude." he joked. I smiled and when i stood up, threw my arms around his neck. He chuckled nervously and rubbed my back. "I never got to thank you..." i started. He smiled understandingly..."and you'll never have to" he finished. "It was nothing...really."
The other boys, who had grown quiet in confusion when they saw me throw my arms around a stranger, now stepped into the conversation. "Sooo..how do you two know each other?" Dougie asked. "He saved my life...twice actually." I told him. Harry then recognized Dougie. "Hey wait! You're the kid who got shot!" he said to him. Dougie smiled nervously. "Yeah..."
"You here with anyone?" Danny changed the subject.. "Nah..just thought i'd see what movies were playing...if there was anythign worth seeing..." he replied.
"You should join us dude...were seeing saw." Dougie invited him. He smiled at me afterwards... It kinda shocked me that he invited him to the movie with us, but it was sweet..and i appreciated it. "Sure..if its cool?" He asked, looking at each of us for any objections...we all nodded. I must have had the dopiest smile on my face..but i was so happy to see him again...
Harry's P.O.V.
I was in the movie theaters, looking up at the board to see if there were any good movies coming on soon... hm.. they all looked good..but none jumped out at me. As i turned around to get a drink from the concession stand, i saw Andrea..laughing and walking with a bunch of guys... I saw the blonde haired boy who was shot at the bank last week. I was relieved to know he was alright! ...I wonder which one of them is her boyfriend? hm.. I started walking towards them, figured i'd say hi to Andrea....as she was walking down the stairs, not paying attention, she tripped and fell, landing on her stomach. HA. I burst out laughing... so did the guys she was with. Aw..now i felt bad..poor Andrea..i jogged over to help her up. When i did, she threw her arms around my neck and hugged me. "I never got to thank you.." she started. I didnt think what i had done was a big deal...anyone would have done it... I assured her there was no need for thanking..
The blonde haired boy asked how we knew each other... 'He must be her boyfriend' i thought...he was obviously suspicious of our friendship... "He saved my life ...twice" she told the group of guys... I shrugged..i really wish she wouldn't make such a big deal about it...it was nothin. They definately lightened up and welcomed me more after she said that though...they even invited me to watch Saw with them...I thought 'WHY NOT?' and agreed.
They introduced themselves as we walked down the corridors towards the theater. The tall one with the shaggy brown hair was Danny. He was friendly..but seemed a little..well...slow. The tall short-haired-blonde was Tom. He was wicked friendly. The one who had been shot- with the floppy strawberry blonde hair...he was Dougie. He was pretty nice too..but kinda shy. He didn't say too much. When we got to the theater...we sat Tom, Danny, Me, Andrea, and Dougie. I liked Andrea..but I felt uncomfortable around her guy friends... assuming that she was with Dougie. The movie was pretty scarey and there was ALOT of gore... she jumped a few times and grabbed onto my arm, which was resting on the arm rest between us... It made me smile..until i saw that she was holding Dougie's hand.... i knew i shouldn't have gotten my hopes up... =\
Chapter Eighteen.
Andrea's P.O.V.
After the movie, i invited the boys back to my house..to finish off some leftover brownies from my cooking sprees...we got home to discover a note left on the counter.
"Andrea-
Headed to Boston for a Business Trip. Your Mother's at work. See you in a week. Love you.
- Dad."
The four of us had the house to ourselves for the night, so we gathered around the kitchen table with a plate of brownies... small talking. When the boys learned that Harry played the drums, Tom jumped out of his seat and yelled "BRILLIANT!" We all stared confused.. He then explained how they had the makings of a band... Danny and him on guitar, Dougie on bass, and Harry on drums.. he continued to say how he'd always wanted to start a band, and after making it to the finals at an audition for a band called 'Busted', he wanted it more than ever. He convinced them to agree to start a band...
After they worked out the minor details..like deciding to be called "MCFLY", Danny pounded his fist against the table and jumped to his feet. "THATS IT." he started "WE NEED TO CELEBRATE." I laughed at him. "Celebrate?...how so?" i asked. He shrugged. "Got any alcohol?" he asked, smiling devilishly... I smiled..trying to decide if this was a good idea. 'WHYNOT?' i thought..after all..my mom was gonna be at work all night... and we had something to celebrate! I stood up and walked to the tall closet cabinet. It had a trick door in it, and i turned it, revealing a hidden supply of absolute, vodka, rum and jack daniels. "SCORE" Danny giggled as he grabbed a couple bottles and placed them on the table.
"Nothing stupid guys? okay? lets not get me in trouble.." i said.
"Oh..no..course not" they all laughed. I sensed sarcasm in their voices, but decided to not worry..and just try and have some fun. We started off by playing flip cup...then Queens.. never have i ever, kings, and bullshit....
Dougie's P.O.V.
Throughout the night, i made sure not to get too drunk and watch out for Andrea. She was in a room full of horny, drunk guys...anything could happen. After a couple hours of games, shots, and beers someone decided it was a good idea to play strip twister... Harry volunteered to do the spinning, since he could barely stand he was so plastered. The rest of us weren't much better. Danny kept laughing uncontrollably, Tom kept stumbling and tripping over things, and Andrea was slurring her words to the point where she couldn't form complete sentences. All i could do was giggle... It was decided the first two people in just their underware would have to take a cold shower together. Tom and Andrea started on one side and Danny and me started on the other. Within minutes, the four of us were tangled around each other. After a couple of rounds, I only had my socks and boxers on...Danny had a shirt, his socks and boxers, Tom somehow managed to have all his clothes minus his socks still on...and Andrea had her underware and a shirt on... I fell...i had to take my socks off..and was the first person to 'loose'...since i was the only one left just in my underware. I PRAYED that Danny didnt loose next..since it was quite obvious Tom was good at this game...since he was till practically fully dressed. 'CRAP' i thought- next Danny fell..and had to take off his shirt. The next round would determine who id be forced to shower with.. cause if either Danny or Andrea fell....they'd loose. To be totally honest, i was terrified for either one.. I flat out DID NOT want to take a shower with Danny..grosss... but at the same time, I was totally intimidated by being naked in the shower with...HER. They were spread out all over the board...across each other, arms tangled, limbs pocking and prodding each other in what seemed to be very uncomfortable places. Harry called left hand blue...and as they both reached for the empty dot underneath them, they began to wobble. I crossed my fingers and closed my eyes...afraid to look. I heard a thump. 'Ouch' I opened my eyes. Andrea was on the ground under Danny's stretched out body.
Harry, Tom, and Danny 'ooooo'-ed. I could feel my face getting hot as my heart rate rapidly increased. Gulp.
Chapter Nineteen.
Dougie's P.O.V.
I was freaking out on the inside, yet trying to keep my composure. Tom, chuckling to himself, went into the bathroom and turned on the cold water in the shower while Andrea, still wasted, laid on her back on the floor giggling.
When Tom came back in, he slapped my back... "all ready for ya." I tried to calm myself down..'shes my bestfriend..i can do this, no problem..' i told myself.
She stood stumbled to the bathroom door...i hesitated for a minute and looked back to the guys for help. All in hysterics, they waved me on... i followed her and closed the door behind me. She pulled off her shirt and motioned to the shower curtain. "ged in" she slurred. I knew this whole drinking thing was a bad idea. I turned my back to her and dropped my boxers before pulling back the curtain and climbing into the shower, under the spray of the freezing cold water. 'GAHH!' It was ice cold, but i stood under the steady stream anyways.
I heard her pull back the curtains and step into the tub..my back was to her. "Turn around" she said. I shivered. "Huh?" this was so uncomfortable. She grabbed my arm and spun me around to face her. "Turn around" she giggled again.. "You said i owed you one...for the show in your room last week." As she walked towards me...i stepped backwards until i was up against the tile wall of the shower. As her face got closer to mine, i could smell the stench of alcohol on her breath...she had WAY too much to drink. This was wrong.. when her lips were about a centimeter away, her warm breath on my face... 'RALPH' she turned her head just in time, throwing up all over the floor of tub. When she was done, quite a few minutes later, she slung one arm over my shoulder, weak and struggling to stay standing up. I turned the water off, wrapped a towel around her and carried her back to her room. I laid her on her side, put a few blankets over her, and placed a bucket by the side of her bed. I frowned.. I didn't like how tonight turned out at all.
Andrea's P.O.V.
I woke up the next morning around eleven. Thank God it was a Saturday and I didn't have school because i had the biggest hangover in my LIFE. Last night was the first time I got drunk..and I can't remember much past 'kings.'
I sat up in bed, struggling to see..my head pounding from the sensitivity to the bright sun shining through my window. I was wrapped in a towel, my hair damp, with a bucket next to the side of my bed. I got out of bed, and scrambled towards the door. I didn't remember cleaning up the bottles last night..what if my mom found them?! Or worse..what if she found ME..and thats how i ended up back in my bed. I started to panic. I got to my bedroom door, as i went to open it, i noticed an envelope taped to the door..adressed "ANDREA."
I opened it..it was from Dougie.
"Andrea..sorry bout last night. things got out of hand. I cleaned up the mess and left advil on your end table. Feel better. Doug."
'He is TOO sweet' i thought, as i swallowed the advil on my end table, climbed back into bed, pulling the covers over my face....never wanting to drink again...
Chapter Twenty.
Andrea's P.O.V.
I slept all day. Around 6 i started feeling a little better. My headache was gone and my body didnt ache anymore. I rolled out of bed and crawled into the shower... to wake myself up. Then, I brushed out my hair, threw on some sweats and headed over to Dougie's. It was already dark and my mom had the night off, so she was sitting on the couch in the dark family room, watching a movie with a bowl of popcorn. "Care to join?..its a Lifetime special"
I just glanced at the tv. "No thanks Mom, maybe later." I smiled as i headed out the backdoor. Instead of walking down the street and knocking on his front door, i figured id cut through the neighbors' yards and just take a peak to see if he was home..and alone.
I got to the back of his house and as i creeped up the back patio steps towards the sliding glass door of his house...it slid open and out came a cheery Danny. "EY! Look who it is!" he shouted back to the house.. 'nooo' i tried to yell..but it was too late..Danny opened his big mouth and out came Harry, Tom and Dougie from the depths of Doug's kitchen.
"Hey Andrea!" they all welcomed me. "Why are you on my back porch?" Dougie asked, giggling. "Uh..." crap..what do i say?...i guess i'll just tell the truth... "just wanted to see what you were up to....and...thank you..for last night." I smiled. "Sooo..thanks for cleaning up the mess." I really was very thankful. He saved my ass from MONTHS of grounding... He just smiled and nodded.
"Wanna hear something we've been working on?" Danny asked me, raising his arm...in it a brown acoustic guitar i didn't notice before. "Of course!" i said. With that, Tom and Danny took a seat on two patio chairs and began strumming.. They played an acoustic version of a song called 'Get over you.' Danny sang most of it.... he has an amazing voice. "That was so good!" I said when they finished. I cant wait to hear everything else you've been working on. "Why dont we go back inside and we'll play some other songs for you then?" Harry suggested. His drum set and Dougie's bass, along with electric guitars and amps were all stored in Dougie's basement...his poor mother. We went back inside, and they played a bunch of songs for the remainder of the night. Around 11 Dougie's mom told him to call it quits for the night so she could go to sleep...I dont blame her. haha.
We all decided to head home for the night and meet up with Harry Monday night..since he went to a different school that us... and they would play more songs for me. We separated outside of Dougie's house. Tom and Danny went left...towards their houses a few blocks down. Harry walked in my direction. His house was a few blocks away..but in the same general direction as mine.
"You came up in conversation tonight" He told me.
I smiled..curious. "And are you gonna tell me what was SAID?" I joked.
"I think Dougie likes you" he said smiling. I laughed. "Did Danny put you up to this?!" I yelled, unbelieving. "No" he answered confused. "Oh." i said "Well..what makes you say that then?" I was curious now... "After everything he did last night." I thought... "So he cleaned up the bottles...? So what..he probably just knew i'd get in alot of trouble and was looking out for me... he has been my best friend my ENTIRE life." I told Harry. Dougie?..liking me?.. I wasn't buying it at all. Dougie just had my back..thats all. Harry snickered, surprised that i didn't know what he was talking about. "You dont remember last night do you?" He asked me... His tone kind of scared me..did something happen? I DID wake up wearing only a towel... "Harry.." my voice shook... I tried hard to remember anything from late last night..but got nothing..."Harry..what happened last night?"..... "Oh boy..If only you knew." he said under his breath. We had arrived at the bottom of my driveway. I stopped walking and crossed my arms..I was loosing my patience.. "IF ONLY I KNEW WHAT HARRY..." He scoffed. I didn't mean to come off rude... "Forget it" he said quietly..i could tell he was annoyed at my sudden attitude. He waved and without loooking back, continued walking home.
I furrowed my eyebrows..desperate to remember.. Crap i was scared to think what MIGHT have happened....
I went home and texted Danny. Maybe he'd tell me?
"'Danny- Did something happen last night? -A'" I sent.
A minute later my phone vibed. New message: "'Like what?"'
"'Like something to make Harry believe Dougie has a thing for me?"'
New message: "LMFAO. I told you!"'
"'You didn't put him up to it then?"'
New message: "'No..i should have thought of that.."'
"'Shutup. Tell me what happened last night! Why was i wet and in a towel?"'
New message: "'Maybe you took a shower? I dunno...ask Dougie. =P "
Great. I cant very well say "Dougie..why do Harry and Danny think you have a thing for me?"
I sighed. Might as well try texting him..maybe he wont respond? =\
"'D. What happened last night? -A"' A few minutes passed...
My phone buzzed....New message: "'You got drunk? - D"'
"'No kidding..but why did i wake up in a towel with my hair wet?"'
New message: "'What DO you remember...just to be straight?"'
"'Last thing i remember was playing Kings around the table...then this morning i woke up in bed, in only a towel."' I waited for his response....
Dougie's P.O.V.
"'Last thing i remember was playing Kings around the table...then this morning i woke up in bed, in only a towel."' was the text message i received from Andrea. PHEW! i thought..she doesnt remember anything about the shower... I hope Danny, Tom and Harry didn't tell her... that'd be SO awkward. Hm..what do i tell her though..? OH. i know..
"'You puked on yourself and took a shower before you went to bed...While you were in there, i left the note on your door.. guess you just dont remember. -D"' Good cover up Dougie. I smiled.
The following Monday in school... everything went as usual. I saw Andrea in the hallways a few times throughout the morning and gave her a hug, or a wave or something...depending upon how crowded the hallway was and where i was headed... classes were boring..as usual... I finished writing some lyrics to a song Mcfly's been working on though. I'll have to show it to the boys later..see if they like what i came up with. The song's called "I wanna hold you." OBVIOUSLY you can tell who I was thinking about. Lunch came and i dropped off my stuff in my locker and rushed out to the tree with a coke bottle and half a bagel.
I was the first one there, as usual, Danny came next, then Andrea..then Tom. Andrea came over and sat next to me.. I put my arm around her shoulders and pulled her in for a hug, tickling her a little.. Nothing big time, just messing around. As this was going on..Tom walked out from the building over to where we were 'hugging'....
"Hey! So i guess that cold shower brought you two even closer together" he laughed and winked at me. 'HOLY.SHIT.' I swear my heart stopped.
Andrea..who had been laughing from my tickles froze...her face dropped. "WHAT?!" she yelled... "TOM. EXPLAIN. NOW" she commanded.
"Heh..whoops" he said towards me. "We played strip twister..." he started...you could hear the nervousness in his voice..we were all nervous...afraid of how she'd take the news. I pulled my knees up, rested my elbows on them, and covered my face with my arms.... "the first two..losers..had to take a cold shower together..." There was a moment of silence.. "Sorry...i thought you knew" It was obvious he was sincere..but this didnt make matters any better...
She breathed in deeply..and opened her mouth..as if she was going to say something... but instead paused...stood up...and walked away... I wanted to crawl under a rock and die...
