Bloody Midnight

I woke up beside Vic, still asleep and still holding me tight. I threw myself back, frightened, I hit the floor with a thud. He opened one eye, "You alright?" I nodded slowly trying to remember if we had sex or not. I looked down to see myself completely clothed then sighed. Damn it. "Yeah I'm ok, you?" He sat up rubbing his eye. "Yeah, Sorry i crashed like that. I probably should've went to my room after you fell asleep" I shook my head. "Nahh it's okay, do you want breakfast?" he stood up and stretched leaning over me slightly. "Yeah I'll help you make it " We headed out into a deserted war zone. Bodies covered the floors and sofas. The smell of vodka and vomit filled the air causing my eyes to tear up like rancid mustard gas. "What the actual fuck man" I looked around and everyone was half naked. Mike was passed out on the kitchen counter with a girl on top of him. Vic poked him with a fork then looked at me. Not very responsive, just a twitch. I walked over to the pantry to check if we had pancake mix. A s i opened the door I screamed. Vic came rushing over. "What ?" Jaime was passed out in the closet tied up with plastic wrap. I took out my Iphone and started taking pictures. "I'm so putting this on tumblr" Cara and Tony came out the room. "woah fun night huh?" they looked around at the mess. "you guys didn't attend?" Cara poked Mike with a fork again. "Nope we were in the room all night"
"Well we were about to make something to eat, but look at this place" I pushed some guy off the island counter. Tony ran his hands through his hair then looked around questioning everything that happened last night. "We can go to IHOP" We grabbed our keys then left in Tony's car. "We need to focus this semester completely" Cara poked at her eggs. "My dad said if i fail another course I gotta move back to Blue Ridge" I shook my head. Blue ridge is where Cara and I are from. It's a tiny little town near Crescent City, If you have no idea where that is then you've never in your life heard of Blue Ridge. We're not even on the map. "God that would suck so bad" I shuttered thinking about the only mall close is in Crescent City, which is 30 minutes away. "Your Hometown is pretty tiny, you'll run through it in 10 minutes" Tony joked nudging Cara. "Oh yeah, Tony didn't you guys start a band over the summer?" He looked at me then at Vic with a smile. "Yeah, it was just something to do though" I nodded. "I think you guys should pursue it though. Make it a college thing." Vic nodded thinking. "Yeah i mean sounds like a good idea" Tony sipped his coffee also nodding. "We haven't really thought of it like that" I smiled biting my bacon. "I bet you haven't" My phone started ringing. "Hello?" His voice made me drop my fork. My heart started racing and I couldn't help but bow my head. "Hey Sky" he chuckled envisioning my face right now. I got up quickly and went outside. "Hey, I'm gonna be in San Diego in 3 weeks. Wanna hang out?" My face soured and an awful taste filed my throat. "Yeah sure" He sighed then cleared his throat. "Good good, I'll see you then Dollface" he hung up leaving me breathless. Fucking Dildo!!!! I went back inside feeling shame just rush over me. Vic looked away picking at his pancakes. "Sky called you?" Cara looked at me puzzled. "Yeah he just wanted to know how everyone was doing" Tony frowned then looked at Vic. "Great. everyone's doing great. tell him to piss off next time" Everyone finished eating in silence, then we left. When we got home everyone was gone and Jaime was cleaning up. "Hey guys, where did you go?"
"IHOP" Vic said sharply then went to his room slamming the door. "What's wrong with him?" Jaime leaned against the counter. I picked up some cups from the floor to help clean. "He must be tired" Cara and Tony joined in, not objecting to my lie.
After we cleaned up and mopped the floors, Everyone chilled out in the living room. Mike held his head, "Fuck My head hurts soo bad" I thwacked him hard. "Well not shit sherlock, you got shitfaced and passed out on the counter, how does that even happen??" he laughed then stuck out his tongue. "Body shots" I thwacked him again. "Yeah i bet" The door bell rang loudly. I rushed over to see a tall girl leaning against the door with a notebook and sharpie in her hand. "Oh hey! Is Mike home?" I stepped back. "Yeah sure, let me get him" she pushed herself forward entering the apartment. "What the fuck, i said i'd get him" Mike turned around and looked at the girl puzzled. "OH MY GOD IT'S MIKE FUENTES!!!" She screamed and jumped around madly. "Who is this girl?" Mike looked around the room then back at her. Everyone shrugged with a concerned look on their faces. I tapped her trying to restrain from punching her. "Excuse me, you don't just barge into someone's place like that. Who the fuck are you?" She rolled her eyes then looked at me as if I should know. "Kaitlin Shrewder, Mike and Vic Fuentes' number one fan" I looked at her confused. What the fuck. "Number one fan?" She redirected her attention back at Mike who was just as confused as i was."Marry me Mike!! I love you!!" she started charging towards him violently. "Umm, I think you should leave" I grabbed her by the waist then ushered her out the door, slamming it shut. "I love you Mike!" She called from behind the door. Vic came out from the room scratching his head and yawning. "What the fuck was that?" I shrugged locking the door then tossing myself on the couch with Jaime. "Apparently Mike has a number one fan" He took a swig of his soda. Vic looked at Mike then laughed. "My little brother? Umm I don't think so" He sat down beside me trying not to move my legs much. Jaime scrolled on his laptop. "Hey Vic, you know that video we posted on youtube?" Vic thought for a minute "Yeah sure?" he rolled his eyes then looked back at the screen. "It's gotten like 400 views" Vic shot up and leaned over the computer monitor pushing Jaime's head out the way. "No way" Everyone's ears perked up. "You guys should just become a legit band" Cara lifted her head from Tony's lap. "Yeah! I mean I love the way Tony plays guitar!" Mike looked around then smirked. "Yeah I mean this could be something fun to do on our down time" I nodded. "What's your band name?" Tony ran his hands through Cara's hair. "How about the Raging Turtle Bombs?" Jaime peered over his laptop then shook his head. "No." Vic and Mike chimed in together. "Sorry baby but that was just awful" we came up with some pretty off names.
The Keytones? No.
The Vibrations? No.
Sleeping with the Lights out? The Fuck?
Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go? Jaime, I'm pretty sure that was a cartoon at some point...
Sleeping With Sirens? uh what does that even mean..?
Panic at the rave? Are you kidding me?
Bulls in the Bronx? That sounds more like a song title
The Squints? What's a squint???
Everyone gathered thinking intensively. "Anything?" Vic looked around hoping someone had thought of something concrete. we shook our heads, and he threw himself on the couch again. "What's the point of being in a band, if we can't think of really good band name?" Mike stood up then yawned. "I'm sure we'll think of something dude. When do you want to start practicing and what not?" Vic looked at me and I looked at Jaime who was also looking at me. "What?" they smiled obviously thinking the same thought. "Well this was your idea Miss, so you're our manager " I shook my head blankly. "Absolutely not! I know nothing about managing a band" Jaime placed his hand on my back. "Chill out, it's not that serious. all you're doing is finding us gigs and promoting us. I'm pretty sure Vic will take over the managing position anyway" Vic rolled his eyes. "I will not" I nodded accepting my role. "Okay fine I'll be your manager promoter person" Cara cheered "Yay!! I'm dating a band member! Don't worry Layla I'll help with stuff" Later that night I laid in bed scrolling through Wikipedia on how to manage and promote an upcoming band. What did i get myself into..
