~3 years later~
“Charlie, go faster!” Charlie pushed me in the target shopping cart while weaving through isles.
“I’m Trying!” she yelled back. In our cart we had: Me, a couple cases of mikes hard lemonade, Crown royal, Jack Daniels, and I was clutching star wars to my chest. “Hurry, turn down this isle!” I pointed; we turned the corner and ran into somebody. Everything went flying out of the cart, including me. I landed on someone, all of the alcohol was covering the floor some of it broken.
“Sorry about that.” I muttered while getting up, stars wars still in my hand. We ran into 2 guys, I wasn’t paying attention to who they were until Charlie started yelling at them. “Why the hell were you in our way? We were having fun until you assholes got in the way!”

Charlie is my best friend, she’s about 5’9”(like me) long black hair, a nose ring, labret, two collar bone dermal’s and 12 tattoos. She continued yelling at them as I realized who they were. It was Jaime and Tony. Holy shit. “Charlie, shut up.” I said still staring at them.

“No! I’m not going to shut up!”

“Charlie, shut up!” I got louder

“No! I’m no-”

“Charlie shut the hell up!” I threw the only thing that I had close to me at her, start wars.
“WHY?!” she looked at me, I didn’t even have to say anything. I gave her a look and she knew. She looked back at them, then to me and back to them. Her jaw dropped and eyes widened. Tony and Jaime had the same look while staring at her. “Shit… uuuhhhhmmmmm…. Shit! Ummm… Heh… shit…” after being in shock Tasha took off out of the isle, I really wish I could go with her, but I was frozen.

Please don’t recognize me, please don’t recognize me, pppllleeeeaaasssseeeee don’t recognize me. I pleaded in my mind as they stared at me. I had changed quite a bit since I last saw them, I now had multiple tone hair that was red, yellow, neon green, neon blue, dark blue and purple. (I pretty much looked like a rainbow attacked me.) and it was in a messy bun, with a Jedi braid. I also had snakebites, no make up as of right now.

It is currently 2 in the morning in San Diego California and I was in my PTV Short shorts and tank top staring at the 2 guys that I was so close to and I hadn’t talked to in 3 years. The 3 of us stood there with blank stares until Tony decided to speak up, “Emily?”

“Hi, turtle.” My shoulders slumped a little bit and he stared at me. It was an awkward silence once again. “Well how have you been?” he smiled

“I’ve been good, thanks. How about you?”

“I’m good.”

I looked at Jaime who was still silent and looking at the ground, “And about you Mr. grumpy gills?”

“I’m good thanks.” His smile decided to make an appearance
“Oh, how I’ve missed your guy’s smiles.” I laughed “Sorry that I lost touch with you guys. I really didn’t mean to. It’s just, my sister broke my phone then after a couple days of being home my ipod got wiped out somehow and I lost all your numbers. I really am sorry guys.” It was all true; I figured they were mad at me.
“I mean, Charlie and I went to one concert last year at warped tour when you guy’s played here in San Diego. It was after I had my hair like this.” I paused and laughed, “I even got some stuff signed by you guys and took some pictures and you didn’t recognize me.”
~Flashback~
Charlie and I stood in line to see Pierce the veil. Just because I hadn’t talked to them in 2 years doesn’t mean that I haven’t listened to their music just as much as before, they are still my favorite band.
As we stood in line talking, we suddenly couldn’t hear each other over screaming of fans. I turned around and saw Mike and Tony walking around talking to fans. I turned to Charlie and smiled, “wouldn’t it be funny if they didn’t recognize me?”
“Yeah, it would. What are you gonna do if they do?” she laughed back
“I’m not sure actually. I haven’t thought about that. But if they don’t, we’ve got to just play along, deal?” I held out my pinky for her to shake.
She pursed her lips and thought for a moment. “Deal.” She took my pinky with hers and we shook, there was no going back now.
***
The concert had just finished and we were now heading to the meet’n’greet. We stood in that line for almost 3 hours moving inch by inch. “Finally!” I groaned, there were now only 4 people in between me and the four guys that I was once so close to. After another 10-minute wait, we were next, “you ready?” Charlie asked excitedly.
“As ready as I’ll ever be. Just remember, if I freeze, cover me.” I laughed as we walked up to the table. Charlie handed her poster to Vic and he smiled, “Hi, What’s your name?”
“I’m Charlie.” She smiled as he quickly signed it, talked to her a little bit more and passed it to mike, now it was my turn, Vic smiled at me like he did Charlie and I handed him my shirt, “and what’s yours?”
“Emily.”
“Oh, that’s cool. I had a friend named Emily, once. I think that it’s a very beautiful name.” I blushed, “Thanks, how’s touring and stuff?”
“Oh, it’s good. We’ve been really busy; it’s good to have a home show. What about you?”
“I’m good, super busy. Frankly I wouldn’t even be here if it wasn’t for my friend bringing me for a celebration thingy.”
“Oh, really? What is the celebration for?” Vic held my shirt in his hands as he was talking to me, I could here people getting impatient.
“I passed my virology exam.”
“What’s that?” Vic laughed, “It’s the study of viruses and stuff like that.”
“Oh, well that’s very cool, congratulations.” Vic smiled and slid my shirt to mike and I followed.
“Hi there! What’s your name?” Mike smiled up at me, “I’m Emily.”
“I love that name! I use to have a friend named Emily. She was really cool.”
Charlie had already gone through the line and was waiting for me to finish so we could take our photo. I made small talk with all of them and we quickly took our picture and left.
~End Of Flashback~

“What? Why didn’t you say anything?” Jaime sounded sad

“Because, I figured you guys were mad at me and never wanted to talk to me again. So I just didn’t say anything.”

“Em, you-” Tony was cut off by Charlie coming back, she had a new cart with new cases of everything we had before just doubled. “Ok, well I got everything. Are we ready to go?” she looked at me avoiding eye contact with the guys.
“Yeah, but before we leave we need to tell someone about this mess that Tony and Jaime made.” They both laughed and Tony looked at the cart, “Wait, so you’re old enough to buy that now?”

“Yepp. As of today.” I smiled, Tony started to say something but Jaime cut him off, “Happy birthday Em!” he then looked at Tony and stuck his tongue out, “HA! I beat you to it.” And smiled triumphantly.

“Well, Charlie and I are going to celebrate if you can’t already tell.” I laughed “So-”

“So you should let us leave so we can get to the ‘celebrating’ part.” Charlie cut me off before I could finish, “What my best friend is trying to say is, would you like to join us? I mean I’m only going to turn 21 once.” I was really hoping that they would say yes.

“Well..” Tony started, “We’d love to!” Jaime cut him off and smiled, Tony just glared at him, “Well, we’ll have to talk to mike and Vic, we were suppose to go straight to their house after leaving here.”

“Oh, really? How are they? I REALLY miss them. Can I see them? They can come too!” I talked so fast my mouth almost couldn’t keep up. “Hold on chicka, don’t get too excited now. How about you follow us to their house and then we can go to your place after. Does that work?” Tony smiled

I didn’t even hesitate or clear it by Charlie “YES!” I shouted and then cleared my throat, “ I mean, yeah sure. Whatever.” I smiled not even looking at the grumpy/ embarrassed Charlie. “A little excited are we?” Jaime laughed, “No, I just miss them more.” I grinned

“Ouch, well shall we get this show on the road?” Tony ushered us own the isle.
“Calm down. I’m lazy ok. I don’t like walking fast, neither does Charlie.” I winked at the guys, Jaime came over and picked me up to give me a piggyback while Tony did the same to Charlie and pushed the cart. I looked over at her, she was trying to keep her cool but I could tell that on the inside she was completely fangirling.

We got to the register and I tried to pay but Jaime wouldn’t let me so Tony got out his wallet, “Don’t worry Em, we got it. Happy birthday my dear.”
I smiled, “Thanks guys.” After we paid and got all of the bags into the cart we went out to the parking lot, Charlie and I were still on the boy’s backs. “That’s my car.” I pointed to a neon green topless jeep. “Nice color.” Jaime put me down and helped me load the bags in the jeep. Tony sat Charlie down; she was totally still fangirling.
“Thank you guys for the alcohol.” When we finished putting the bags in the jeep I turned to them, “Well, we’re ready when you are.” Tony nudged Jaime, “ well we’ll go get the car.”

“Okay.” I ran to the driver’s side and got in the jeep. When I started the jeep the stereo blasted pierce the veil, I turned down the stereo and looked at Charlie, “Ok, you’ve got to admit you’re freaking out on the inside.” I smiled and showed some excitement.

“Oh, Emily. You have no freaking idea!” she squealed. Charlie knows everything that happened between us. When I say ‘everything’ I mean EVERYTHING. Well except for what happened between Tony and I. “So, are you excited to meet Mike and Vic?”

“More nervous than excited.” She laughed as Tony and Jaime pulled up, “Ok, follow us and try to keep up.” Tony smiled and rolled up his window taking off out of the parking lot. Charlie and I followed stereo blasted and singing completely off key(on purpose). After about 10 minutes of driving I noticed we were now taking the same rout to my and Charlie’s apartment.

We soon pulled up in front of the Fuentes household; it was on the same block as our apartment. Heck our apartment was just up the street; you could see it from the house. We had lived in the same apartment since we first moved to San Diego. Tony and Jaime got out of the car, Tony walked towards the house and Jaime come to the drivers side of the jeep.
“What’s up Hime-Time?” I smiled out the window.

“So we’re going to go inside and get Vic & Mike, we think it would be kind of cool for it to be a surprise so you could go hide off to the side of the door or something.” He smiled and ran inside to join Tony. “Ok, so I’ll go hide and do you just want to stay in here until I talk to them?” I turned off the ignition and looked at Charlie who was still frozen and completely silent. “OK, I’ll take that as a yes.” I jumped out of my jeep and ran to the side of the door jus as they ushered Vic and Mike out the door. I didn’t want them to see me so I backed up into the shadows.

“Ok, well where’s my surprise?” Mike walked towards the middle of the yard and stopped. I started moving toward him and Vic spotted me and his face lit up. I put my finger to my lips signaling for him to be quiet, he nodded. Just as mike was turning to face the house again, so I ran and tackled him to the ground, “MIKEY!”
Mike freaked out, “What the hell! Who’s on me?” while he was on his back continuing to freak out I just sat on him waiting for him to finish.
“Let me know when you’re done freaking out ok woos puss?” He stopped struggling. “Wait. I know that voice.” He stared at me, studying my face. “EMILY!” he sat up and hugged me.

“Hey, mikey.” I pulled away from him.
“I’m lovin the hair. Oh and look your boobs went up a cup size.” He poked at my chest, “Yeah, I see yours did too.” I laughed

“They’re not boobs, they’re pectorals.”
I punched his chest and got up. He shrieked and grabbed his chest, “OW! My boobs!” I laughed and walked over to Vic, “I would hug you but you’re just as short as I saw you last. Ok no, you shrunk a little more. You’re now at like boob level and that’s still kinda awkward.” So I patted him on the head, “Oh, crap! Charlie! I’ll be right back.” I smiled and ran to the jeep to see Charlie; she was in the same position that I had left her in. “Charlie…Hello? Earth to Charlie.” I waved my hand in front of her face, “Huh? What? Who we talking about?” she finally snapped out of her little trance.

“I just said hi to Vic and Mike, now it’s time for you to meet them.” I pulled her from the jeep.
“Ok, but I’m gonna play hard to get.” I think she was trying to convince herself more than me. I laughed, “Ok, Charlie. I guess I’ll let you do that. But go after Tony, he’s better than everyone else.” She gave me a look and laughed.

I rolled my eyes at her; “I didn’t mean it like that you perv!” we walked up to the guys, “Mike, Vic. This is my best friend Charlie.” Mike walked over to her and patted her head, “awe, she’s so tiny.” Charlie shoved his hand away. “I’m as tall as emily.”
“awe, she thinks she’s tall.” He looked at me and pouted. “Well you shouldn’t call her tiny. She will seriously kick the shit out of your shins, trust me our friend Jake still has bruises.” I laughed and looked at her. She had her arms folded across her chest and her hip popped. “Can we go to the apartment now?”

“Charlie, you haven’t even said hi to Vic yet. Just be glad he can’t really make fun of you. He’s short too.” I smiled at Vic; just as I was looking back at Charlie I felt a sharp pain in my shin, “OW! What the hell Charlie! I was joking! How can I call you short?! I’d be a hypocrite!” I looked at her while hopping on one foot holding my shin.
“You called me short.” She glared at me. “Yeah, now I’m calling you a skank. Come on lets go to the apartment.” I pointed to the jeep. I looked at the guys, they were all laughing, “What you didn’t think she would actually do it? Well ya’ll have a new thing commin. Now I’m gonna take drama queen over there to the apartment and unload all of the drinks, it’ll take like 10 minutes, Maybe not even that.”

“Oh, well then I’ll come with.” Jaime smiled and walked over to me. “Nah, I’m good. Plus we have some cleaning to do. We weren’t expecting company today… or really any day. Heck, we weren’t expecting to literally run into you guys either.” I laughed and rubbed my arm, “Oh, ok.” He pouted his lip, which made me feel bad. I rolled my eyes and sighed, “Come on lover boy.” He smiled and joined me as we walked over to the jeep, “Hey Charlie, can you drive to the apartment, Jaime and I will just walk.” I smiled at her sweetly.
“Sure thing sugar pie.” She winked and drove off. Jaime watched as she drove away looking confused, “Wait we’re going to walk? Where do you live exactly?”

“See that apartment building?” I pointed down the street and watched as the jeep pulled in, we started walking towards it. “No way, you live there? How long?”

“About 3 years now… we’ve been in the same apartment since we first moved here which was about 2 weeks after graduation. So about a month after I met you guys.” Jaime laughed, “Well then. Heh, Mike and Vic are going to flip when they find out how close they have been to you.” He put his arm around my shoulder and we kept walking, “So, how’s San Diego treatin’ ya?”

“Pretty good I guess, I now work at a tattoo shop where I got my first tattoo, I’m going to school to become a vet and a photographer on the side, and I’m now 21 so I’d say it’s been treatin me pretty good.” We walked up the 3 flights of stairs to my apartment door; as I was about to grab the door know Jaime spoke up, “So what’s your tattoo of?”

“You’re going to laugh at me.”

“No I wont, I promise.” He stuck out his pinky, so I shook it and pulled up my tank top to just under my bra revealing my tattoo. His eyes widened, “Wow, I-It’s amazing.”

“You’re just saying that because it’s from pierce the veil.” I had my favorite lyrics from the song props & mayhem covering my entire right side with the girl from their new ‘collide with the sky’ album and all of their signatures around it. “No, really. I like it.” He smiled. Before I could say anything Charlie swung open the door, “are you gonna sit out here and strip or are you gonna come help me clean?”

“Do I have a choice?” I pulled my shirt down.
“No, now get your ass in here.” She laughed
“Ok, whatever you say, mom.” I walked in and looked at the couch, “Really? You could take care of your laundry but you couldn’t help me out and take care of mine?” I ran over and grabbed my laundry and running into my room stuffing it in my drawers. Forgetting that Sebring was still in her kennel, I walked back out to the living room to see Jaime sitting on the couch and watching the TV. I walked over to him, “Well I’m ready, are you?”
“Sure.” He smiled and jumped up. I smiled at him, “Ok then. Lets go.” I grabbed my keys so I could lock the door. “Bye, Charlie. We’ll be back.” I yelled and shut the door locking it. I turned to Jaime and smiled, “I bet I can beat you downstairs.”

“I’ll take that bet.”

“Ok, on the count of 3. 1…2.” I took off down the stairs and Jaime followed, “Hey that’s not fair!”
I didn’t stop running, “I never said it would be fair!” we both ran down the stairs skipping steps and almost falling in the process. I jumped the last 6 steps, knowing I couldn’t land it I tucked and rolled. When I got up I dusted myself off and looked up just in time to se Jaime tripping over himself, “OH! You just got owned by a girl; again! How does that make you feel Mr. Preciado?”
He pouted, “That’s no fair, and you cheated.”

“Oh, you’re just a cry baby.” I laughed and started walking down the street. When Jaime caught up we were silent for a few moments, “Jaime, do you remember last time we talked to each other?” he sighed, “Yeah, I do.”

“What happened after I left?”
“Not really much. We were all pretty bummed, Tony and I didn’t really talk for 3 or 4 days, everyone was pretty depressed. Especially mike, mostly because he didn’t have a girl to flirt with or make fun of. That’s what he liked most about you, he could flirt with you or hit on you and you would come up with a snide comment and put him in his place.” He laughed and I sighed, “You know that what happened between Tony and I didn’t mean anything, right?”

“Yeah, I figured that after you never called us again..”

“Oh, ok.”
We got back to Mike and Vic’s house; everyone was still in the front yard. Mike wasn’t facing me so I ran and jumped on his back, “Are you ready to get wasted Whiskey Hands?” he laughed and grabbed my legs so I wouldn’t fall, “When am I not?”

“Ok then man, lets go! I’m officially 21! WOOHOO!” I paused my excitement almost falling of mike’s back, “Mike, I’m legal now! Yay! I can tease you and it will be fair!”

“Yeah! Now I can’t get in trouble for anything!” he shouted, “Now, where to m’lady?”

“Down that way to those apartments, there.” I pointed.
“How long have you lived there?” Vic said as we all walked towards my apartment.
“About 3 years, I figured that someone in a band or something lived at your house because I occasionally saw the bus, but I never put two and two together, ya know?” I looked back at Vic while still on mike’s back. “Yeah, now I think I remember seeing you like one time, I just thought it was some hot chick that looked like you, but then I saw the multi colored hair and I thought that you still lived in Utah so I didn’t think it could be you.” Vic smiled

“Yeah, I work at a tattoo shop now. You guys should come visit; it’s the one on Voltaire St. It’s pretty hard to miss.”
“And she got her first tattoo.” Jaime added. “OOOOHHH! I wanna see.” Tony said excitedly. “Ok, well mike’ll have to put me down first.” I laughed
Mike came to a halt in front of my building and dropped me on my butt, “Ouch, thanks ya douche queer. Now help me up, please.” I put my hands out in the air for him to grab them. “Pfft, you can help yourself up.” He smirked

“Fine, Tony will you help me?”

“Nah, I agree with mike.” Tony laughed, “Fine, I guess I can’t show you my tattoo, even though I have to lift my shirt pretty high for you to see it.” I started pulling myself off the ground when Mike and Tony ran to my side and they both pulled me the rest of the way up. “Well, you two must really wanna see my tattoo.” They both smiled and nodded, “Ok, I guess I’ll show you.” I smiled and lifted my shirt exposing my tattoo. “Hey that’s my lyrics!” Vic smiled in approval.

“And our signatures, look it even has my stick figure drummer!” mike poked my side so I laughed and pulled down my shirt just as a glob of water fell on my head causing me to jump. I looked up to see Charlie laughing, “What the hell was that?” I yelled at her.

“Water, what else would it be?” she yelled from the balcony. “Stupid bitch!” I yelled up at her and flipped her off.
“If that finger had balls you’d be pregnant!”

“Just wait till I get up there! You’re skank ass is gonna hate life!” I could hear the guys laughing so I shot them a glare, which made them go quiet.
“Bring it bitch!” Charlie yelled and stuck her tongue out, after that I bolted up the stairs. She screamed and ran inside slamming and locking the door behind her. I unlocked the handle and deadbolt and opened the door. It came to an abrupt stop when I realized she had locked the chain, “Charlie, open this damn door or so help I will break the chain and we’ll have a 3 legged race to the hospital to remove my foot from your throat!”

She came over and shut the door to take the chain off; when she opened it I walked in and punched her in the chest as hard as I could. “OW! That was my boob!” she grabbed her chest, “Yeah, now we’re even.” I smiled and walked back out onto the balcony and looked down at the guys, “Well, ya’ll commin or are we gonna have to party without ya?”

“NOOOOO!!!! The whiskeyhands needs his whiskey!” mike yelled running up the stairs followed by Jamie, Vic and Tony. I ran back inside, “Quick! Spray some entire apartment with febreeze, I’m going to go and get Sebring!” Charlie sprayed the apartment and I ran to my room, Sebring saw me and got excited. “Hey baby girl! Guess what, we have company today!” I let her out of her kennel and she attacked my closed door, “Ok, ok. One second.” When I opened the door she attacked mikes legs, “OW! Your dog bites hard!” mike whined.
“She’s just like her owner.” Jaime winked at me.
“Oh yeah. Like you would know.” I smirked

“You can’t seriously tell us that you had sex with him and you didn’t even bite him once.” Tony smiled, I looked at Jaime and laughed raising an eyebrow, “You still haven’t told them?”
Jaime laughed, “Why would I?” he said in a ‘no-duh’ tone.
“Tell us what?” Vic asked, I looked at him and sighed, “We never had sex. We faked it; you really think that we dished it out in 5 minutes?” I couldn’t help but smiled when the memory crept into my mind.

“What!” mike looked at Jaime, “You had us believing that you two had sex for the longest time! I could’ve made a move on her and I didn’t because I thought you guys had a thing going on. You’re mean.” Mike plopped on the couch and pouted.
“Calm down mike, it’s not like she would have sex with you anyway,” Tony winked at me, “We all know that it would be with me.”

“Actually it wouldn’t have been with any of you. I was a virgin at that time and I had no intention of losing my v-card on a bus in Reno, 5 minutes before a signing let alone with guys that I practically just met. Even though I met you guys before.” I pulled on my necklace that had the pick that Vic gave me all of those years ago. “What? I don’t remember meeting you before that night, and I remember everyone. When did we meet you?”

I went to my room and grabbed my photo album, which contained multiple pictures of me with each one of them the first time I ever met them. “It was in 2008 at warped tour in salt lake. I was short, like 5’2” with blue hair. I had stumbled over your guys’ music on youtube so I listened to a couple songs and was instantly hooked. I wasn’t really depressed at that time but in 2009 that all changed. I got deeply depressed and actually attempted suicide a couple of times, which was when I went through a period of severe bullying. Sadly that period went from the 7th grade until 3 years ago at graduation. You guys were my hope, the reason why I’m here today.” I handed them the photo album and continued, “that day was the best day of my life, I didn’t have a care in the world. At that point in time I believed I was flawless, like I was untouchable. When I went home that night, it was actually when the bullying started. My so-called ‘friend’ that went with me was jealous that I met you and she didn’t, all because her mom made her leave early. She called me all sorts of names and told me that the only reason why you guys were so nice was because you felt bad for me. Of course I believed her because I mean look at me.” I pointed to the pictures in their hands, “I was gross! I wasn’t pretty like all of the other girls. I wasn’t skinny like them. I actually did have flaws, a lot of them. I hated myself for so long. That night I decided I was going to change, drastically. I dyed my hair back to my natural color, which is actually blonde. I started running and working out a lot so I would lose weight. I actually lost a lot, the growing 7-8 inches helped a lot also. I told myself that the next time I saw you; you would think I was prettier than all the other girls, that I was perfect, flawless. That was when I fell into the deep depression because throughout my transformation I only got more criticism. people became even worse. Words became even harder to endure, that is why I started cutting. It gave me a release; it made me feel in control. Sadly I stopped listening to your music for a while, I strongly believe that played a big part in why I became so depressed. Once I started listening to you again I slowly got out of my habit of cutting and turned to music, your music. I actually started listening to the words; I let them become a part of me. That is how I got to where I am today. And that is the story of what happened to me. Yeah, I know you have heard worse.” I walked to the kitchen and grabbed all of the alcohol and the box of brand new shot glasses that Charlie’s mom had sent me for my birthday.
As I walked to the living room I put all of the alcohol on the table, “Now don’t feel bad for me, I want tonight to be fun. So for the rest of the night pretend like I didn’t say that ok? Lets get back to our conversation about sex or something. Just lets not talk about my past ok?” I handed Charlie her ‘lemonade’ and winked at her before passing the beers to they guys. “Uhh. Would you have sex with any of us now?” Jaime asked, I laughed at his question, “Probably not Hime-time.”

“Why? I think you should give everyone in this room a reason why you won’t sleep with them.” Tony smiled and took a drink of his beer. “Ok, well. I wont sleep with turtle because he’s in the ‘brother zone’, I wont sleep with Vic because he’s too short.” I paused and laughed at Vic, “Hey! That’s mean!” he pouted and I continued, “I wont sleep with mike because… I mean, he’s mike. And I wont sleep with Charlie, for one she’s my best friend and two I don’t roll that way.” I laughed and winked at her, “And last but not least, Jaime. Hmmm… I have to think about this one.” I couldn’t think of anything, because really, there wasn’t one. I knew I was talking too long to answer because the guys started stirring. I chugged my lemonade and quickly unpacked the shot glasses from the package setting them on the coffee table, I also put a mix of vodka and Jack Daniels in each. “Well what are we waiting for! Lets start drinking!” I passed out the shots to everyone, we only had 5 shot glasses so I was just going to take mine from the bottles, “So, what’s Jaime’s reason?” mike asked, “Didn’t I say one? I’m pretty sure I did.” I nervously laughed

“Nope, you didn’t so we’re not going to start drinking until you say one.” Tony smiled, “Shit, I am so not drunk enough for this. Uhh… I don’t have one.” I put the bottom of the vodka bottle in the air and chugged it until Charlie took it from me, “Holy shit girl! Calm down!” I looked at her and then looked at the guys
“really? What do you mean you don’t have a reason?” mike sat straight in his seat.
I could feel the vodka starting to take a little of effect on me, “I don’t have a reason. Meaning I would probably have sex with Jaime, I mean I still have feelings for him after 3 years so yeah, it’ll probably happen.” I quickly covered my mouth as everyone ‘ooohhh’d and aaaahhhh’d. “Shit I am so not drunk enough for this!” I snatched the bottle from Charlie and got up stepping out of her reach. I took a couple of big gulps and stepped back by her, “Here. I want to remember this game. I walked over and turned on music and sat down on the floor by Charlie’s seat, “so, lets play I never. If you haven’t played it before it goes like this; you go around the circle taking turns saying ‘I never…’ and then who ever has done that has to take a shot, ok? Ok now lets play I’ll go first. Uuummmm, I never… had a one night stand.” Everyone took a shot except for me.
“Ok, let’s go clockwise so now it’s Charlie’s turn.” We all looked at her and she squirmed in her seat a little, “Umm, I never… preformed in stage.” All of the guys took a drink and now it was Jaime’s turn. “Now you guys are just singling us out. Hmmmm… I never… had sex with a band member.” I was the only one who took a shot and everyone was staring at me, “What?” I shrugged my shoulders, “Doesn’t high school band count?” “I guess.” Jaime shrugged his shoulders, “What did he play? Just curios.”

“He played bass. Ironic right” I laughed, “Now can we get back to the game?”
We continued to Tony, then carried on to Mike, and then lastly Vic. We went around the circle until about 2 ½ bottles of jack and vodka were gone. We all had a pretty good buzz going, well at least I did. I think everyone was just a little passed buzzed. Ok, they were already hammered. We all started dancing to the music, I danced with Jaime, Tony and Charlie were dancing together (Of course), and Mike and Vic were dancing by themselves. I wanted tonight to be amazing, I had drank a full case of lemonade and 1 ½ bottles of vodka by myself. Jaime stopped dancing and looked at me, “So you really don’t have a reason?” I sighed and stopped dancing to look at him, “No, I don’t. It’s sad I know.”

“No, it’s actually not. This whole time I’ve been trying to come up with a reason why I shouldn’t hit on you. Oh and I wanted to say that I’m sorry for how big of an asshole I was last time we saw each other.”

“It’s ok, you had every reason to.” Which was actually kind of a lie but I continued. “And why didn’t you just start hitting on me in the first place? I mean, I thought it was pretty obvious that I still had feelings for you. Well to me it was obvious but still. I still really like you Jaime-” I was cut off by a door slamming, I looked around and didn’t see Charlie or Tony anymore and her bedroom door was closed. I looked to where Vic and Mike were and saw them passed out, mike was clutching a half empty whiskey bottle and Vic was in the fetal position on my beanbag chair. “I think they have a good idea.” Jaime gesture to Charlie’s room, “Oh, and I suppose you would like to do that idea?” I laughed, Jaime shrugged his shoulders trying to act uninterested, “I guess. I mean, if you really want to. We don’t ha-” I cut him off by kissing him. We stood in the living room making out for a while, we both pulled away trying to catch our breath, I grabbed Jaime’s hand and led him to my room and shut the door.
My hands wrapped around Jaime’s neck as his lips connected with mine. I felt my legs hit my bed and I he laid me down, I watched as he crawled over me and reconnected his lips with mine. My fingers raked through his hair as his hands trailed up my shirt as he left kisses on my neck, a moan escaped my lips as he continued. I tugged on Jaime’s shirt restlessly and he got up pulling his shirt over his head and his lips came crashing into mine.
Jaime’s hand gripped my waist as he slid my shirt off my body. A blush appeared on my face as he looked down at me, I bit my lip in embarrassment.
“You’re beautiful Emily.” He said kissing my cheek softly.
A small smile graced my lips as Jaime trailed kisses down my neck and nibbled at my collarbone, I moaned in pleasure as he unclasped my bra and threw it somewhere. He kissed my breast softly as he cupped one in his hand and continued kissing the other one. I moaned as he nibbled on it, and squeezed the other one making my back arch in pleasure. My hands pulled on his hair making him groan.
Sitting up I kissed Jaime as my hands trailed down to his pants where I could feel a bulge, I undid the button in on his pants and groped his bulge through his underwear. Jaime groaned in pleasure and arched his crotch into my hand; I gave it a little squeeze making him groan again. I felt him unbutton my shorts and slide them down along with my underwear down slowly.
“You’re so wet Emily.” Jaime said pressing a finger to my clit.
My breath caught in my throat as he rubbed it and stuck a finger inside. He pushed his finger in and out before he added another one and I moved my hips in sync with his fingers, Jaime brought his lips to mine making me moan into his mouth. I pulled his pants off which he kicked onto the floor; he started moving his fingers at a faster pace making me buck my hips harder. The knot in my stomach tightened before I released letting go and letting the bliss take over. I closed my eyes in pleasure only to open them again to see Jaime licking his fingers.
“Jaime…” I moaned watching him.
“Emily are you…can we…” he seemed confused.
I nodded my head shyly as he pulled his underwear down exposing his member, I couldn’t take my eyes off of Jaime’s naked body as he hovered over me again. Slowly he pressed his lips to mine as he slid his member inside me, the kiss barely distracted me from the slight pain I felt.
“I’m sorry.” Jaime said quickly detaching his lips from mine.
“No, it’s fine. Please don’t stop.” I said wrapping my arms around his neck.
Jaime started to move slowly at first, but slowly gained speed. Bucking my hips, I pushed him in harder as he sloppily thrusted inside me. The knot in my stomach came again and tightened with each thrust and kiss, arching my back I screamed out his name in pure pleasure. His thrust became sloppier and I knew he was close. A warmth filled my stomach as Jaime breathed out my name, he crashed his lips into mine giving me a sloppy kiss that gave me butterflies. Wrapping my arms around him he laid on top of me not moving, our breath became slow and steady and paid attention to the beat of his heart. I gently ran my fingers through his hair as he placed small sweet kisses on my chest.
“Emily.” Jaime spoke softly.
“Hmm?” I hummed in response.
“I love you.”
My eye widened in surprise and kissed his forehead, “I love you too Jaime.”
Picking me up he pulled the blanket over us and we fell asleep in each other’s arms.
