Stay Away From My Friends (sequel to Bulletproof Love)

Just like every other morning, my alarm goes off at 7:00am exactly and I never want to wake up, my bed is too comfy to leave,why can't my bed just swallow me up? I keep reminding myself to change the tone of my alarm because I'm sick to death of hearing it and it's only a Wednesday. I grab my phone and switch the tone off before I threw it at a wall. I sit up and stretch, today should be fun.
I stand up and walk over to my dressing table, I sit down and begin to do my hair and makeup in the mirror. I closely looked at myself in the mirror and saw dark circles around my eyes from the lack of sleep last night, I guess foundation can cover that.
Once I was done with that I went over to my wardrobe, I couldn't find anything decent that I wanted to wear, I ended up picking jeans like usual but couldn't decide on a top. I took out an Of Mice & Men shirt and an All Time Low crew neck, I couldn't pick so I walked over to my window to see what the weather liked outside. I stood there and stared as everyone walks by even this early in the morning. I noticed that the sun was hiding behind the dark clouds so I decided to wear my crew neck so I wouldn't get cold. After I was all done and ready, I walked downstairs and was greeted by my mother and brother in the kitchen.

"Hey sweetie" My mum smiled.

"Hey mum, where's dad?" I asked curiously looking round the room for him but I couldn't see him anywhere.

"He had a last minute band meeting with his crew" She explained. My face dropped.

"So that means he's going on tour soon and leaving?" I asked, I knew the answer but I wanted to hear it.

"Probably" She nodded in reply. I sighed heavily. This is what I hate about my dad being a musician, he's always leaving and I hate saying goodbye to him for months on end, it's hard not having him around. Then there was a knock on the door.

"That must be Finn, see you later!" I smiled. I got my shoes on and opened the front door to see Finn standing there with a smile.

"Hey" He said.

"Hello" I replied and shut the front door behind me.

"How are you this morning?" He asked politely which made me smile.

"I'm good Finn, you?" I asked.

"I'm good, are you still going to that party tonight?" He asked wearily. I grinned widely at him.

"Of course, I'm so excited because it's my first proper party!" I smiled. All I got was a nod of the head in reply from him, "you okay?" I then asked him.

"Yeah, I just don't think you going to that party is a good idea" He said in a serious tone.

"Whys that?" I asked.

"They're older Meg and they drink, you're not like that!" He explained. I just looked at him.

"Just because they drink doesn't mean I will, I just want to have some fun for once in my life" I said and he sighed. Before he could say anything else we made it to school and Matt called us over to him and Jake. We walked over and I noticed that Matt had a haircut.

"Nice haircut" I smiled. He smiled back.

"Thanks, you're the only one that's actually noticed" He said. Then the bell rang and we went to class. Me and Jake had science together.
We walked in and I saw Jason sitting with 'the popular lot' as everyone calls them, I walked past and he smiled at me, usually he doesn't even look at me but now he actually smiled at me, it made me feel happy. I smiled back and went to sit down near Jake like we usually do.

"So you really going tonight?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yeah, it'll be fun!" I shrugged with a smile, he didn't look so sure though.

"Just don't do anything silly, you know how them parties are" He warned me. I just rolled my eyes. I knew what the parties were like, they were crazy but I'm not like that, I'd be sensible and just have fun and enjoy my first proper party.

"I know Jake, I'll be fine" I reassured him with a smile but he still looked at me with a worried expression. I sighed and just got on with my work, I'll never convince any of them that I'll be okay so there's no point in trying.

~~~

After school I went home and began to get ready for the party, I remembered Jason was picking me up at 7:00pm so I started to get ready now, better to be early than late. All through the day each of them tried to make me change my mind, I don't see why they're so worried, yes okay they are older and drink but I can look after myself, I'm not a baby anymore. I rushed upstairs, past my dad who tried to speak to me but I ignored him and went straight to my room.
I went to my wardrobe and looked for a decent outfit for tonight, I rummaged through and finally picked a cute black dress, it wasn't too short or too long, it was just right. I then did my makeup, a little more than usual because it was a party after all and then straightened my long hair till it was dead straight. Once that was done, I changed into my dress, I looked in the mirror once I was completely ready and took in my appearance, I looked girly for once. I then headed down stairs since I have 10 minutes till Jason should arrive at my house to pick me up.
As I walked downstairs I saw my mum and dad cuddled up on the couch together while watching TV, I love how after all these years of being together them two still love each other just as much as they did when they first met, they give everyone a chance of hope to find love one day. As I walked in my dad's attention snapped towards me and he stared at my dress.

"You're going like that?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. I just groaned.

"Seriously? I have shorter dresses you know, this is hardly short" I said while indicating to the dress.

"You look fine sweetie, just ignore him" My mum smiled, as least she was okay with all of this, I know my dad's not. I heard my dad mumble something to himself, probably about my dress, I just shook my head at him. Then I heard a car horn, I looked outside and I saw Jason sitting in his car waiting for me, thank god he did what I asked when I said to stay in the car or my dad would ask questions and it would've been awkward, especially since Jason is older which neither of my parents know about but it's not important.

"Bye!" I waved.

"Bye" They both said in unison and I left the house. I ran over and jumped into the car and smiled at him.

"You ready?" He asked.

"Totally!" I smiled and he drove off to the party. I began to feel slightly nervous because I didn't know what was going to happen, I didn't have Finn, Jake or Matt by my side to help me if anything goes wrong but I'm still excited.

~~~

After about 20 minutes of driving he drove into a driveway, I could hear the loud music from where we were and there were people standing outside everywhere, some even looked like they were drunk already and it was only about 7:30pm, light weights. He parked the car and we both hopped out. I straightened out my dress a bit and then we both walked in.
The place was crowded with people, it was so hot because everyone was so compacted together, I felt like I was going to pass out even though I just walked in the door. There was a very strong smell of alcohol and weed, typical high school party. I took a minute to take in my surroundings, people were dancing and socialising with drinks in there hands and there were already people passed out on the couches, it was probably something to do with drugs but I don't know.
I noticed that Jason had walked over to see his friends, leaving me alone because I knew no one but him. I just stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do. Everyone looked at me like I was some kind of freak, who am I kidding I don't belong here. All the girls stuck their noses up at me in disgust like they don't want me here, which they probably don't but the guys we're friendly, they actually welcomed me in.
I don't belong here, what am I doing? why did I agree to come? I quickly tried to leave, I can't stay. I tried to push past people but before I could leave I felt a strong hand take hold of my wrist, I looked back and saw Jason looking at me.

"Where are you going?" He asked. I tried to think of a lie to leave but nothing came to mind.

"Erm.. I was going out for some fresh air" I replied and to be honest that wasn't a lie, I needed air. He shook his head though.

"You've just got here, come on let me get you a drink" He said and dragged me by the arm over to a table with tons of alcohol placed on it. He got a plastic cup and poured some alcohol that I'd never seen before in it and handed it to me, I was hesitant at first but took it with a smile. He then took me over to his group of friends, the girls once again just looked at me like I was a nobody but the guys, they were nice. I stood next to this guy, his name was Max and he was lovely, we pretty much talked and danced all night. I took a sip of my drink and it tasted horrible and burned the back of my throat, how do people drink this stuff? Max laughed at me when he saw my facial expression but I drank it anyway.

Throughout the night Jason kept handing me drinks every time my cup was empty and wouldn't leave till I drank it so I got pretty drunk. I defiantly wasn't planning on it but it was kinda hard when I was being forced too. I danced with Max and I felt the alcohol take effect on me. As we were dancing he spun me round so I was facing him and he placed his hands on my waist pulling me closer to him. If I wasn't intoxicated right now I would've pushed him away and said no but right now considering the amount of alcohol I'd consumed I went along with it. I smirked at him then he leaned down and kissed me, it took me by surprise but once it registered what was happening I kissed back immediately. Things got quite heated between us but then he pulled away which made me pout. He chuckled at my expression. That wasn't enough for me so I grabbed the back of his neck and kissed him again, I don't know where all this confidence was coming from but I liked it.

Next morning I woke up feeling really stiff because I realised I had slept on the wooden floor and I felt a bit sick too. My head was spinning and I felt a killer headache coming on. I groaned and tried to sit up but an arm around my waist was stopping me, I froze. I looked over and saw a guy sleeping next to me. What the hell happened last night? I must have drank too much. I looked down and saw that I was fully clothed so at least I know nothing dodgy happened. I looked at the guy and then it clicked who it was, I just about remember him but he was that guy I danced with last night, Max? I can't remember really but all I know is, is that he was lovely and stayed with me all night.

I felt my phone buzz in my pocket so I slowly pulled it out. I saw that I had 24 missed calls and texts from my parents and a few from the guys too. Shit. I then remembered that I didn't go home last night like I said I would, everyone must be panicking. I slowly removed the guys arm from around me and stood up slowly because my head was still spinning, there were people pass out all over the house. I then realised that I had no way of getting home but I didn't want to ask my parents because they'll murder me so I rang up Uncle Tony, he can't get mad at me for this and he'll pick me up if I ask.

"Hello? Megan!?" He answered quickly.

"Hey Uncle Tony" I said.

"Where are you? Everyone's been looking for you!" He said panicky. That made me feel really bad.

"I'm at a party, I kinda fell asleep here and I don't know how to get home!" I explained and left out the bring drunk part because I don't need him lecturing at me considering my head hurts like mad.

"Where exactly are you? I'll come pick you up!" He said. I gave him the address and he hung up. I sighed heavily. I spotted a mirror next to me and walked over to it, I gasped at my reflection, I looked horrible. My make up was smudged all over my face and my hair was a complete mess, Tony will figure out what happened last night just by looking at me.
After a while I heard a car horn from outside which told me that Uncle Tony was here. I grabbed my shoes and ran over to his car. I hopped in and he just stared at me with disappointment in his eyes, he knew what happened.

"Woah, you look horrible" Was the first thing he said to me.

"Thanks" I said with clear sarcasm in my voice. He kept looking at me and raised an eyebrow.

"Please don't tell you did what I think you did?" He said when it finally clicked. I just looked down in shame, "damn it Megan, you're only 15 years old!" He lectured me.

"Yeah I know I don't need this from you because I'm going to get it from my parents when I get home" I said, "and I have a massive headache" I groaned. He just sighed with a disappointed head shake and drove off without saying another word.
The car journey was silent, I didn't know what to say and neither did Uncle Tony. When he parked the car and I froze. I couldn't go in there, my dad is going to murder me for what I've done. Uncle Tony just looked at me.

"It'll be okay, your mum and dad are just worried about you, they'll be mad but it'll pass over" He said trying to make me feel better, it didn't really help if I'm honest but I just nodded anyways and we both got out and went inside. Once Uncle Tony had slammed the front door behind him I was surrounded by worried and angry faces, I'm not looking forward to what's about to happen.

"Where the hell were you? Me and your mother were worried sick, we even called your friends to see if they'd seen you, why didn't you come home last night?" My dad shouted at me with questions, he wasn't really helping my headache.

"I'm sorry" was all I could say. He sighed and then looked at me, he did exactly what uncle Tony did when it registered what happened by my appearance, but I saw rage in his eyes.

"Megan Preciado please tell me you didn't get drunk last night?" He demanded to know the truth even though he knew what my answer was. I just sighed and rubbed my temples.

"Megan, you're only 15!" My mum shouted when she realised too.

"Why did you get drunk? You said you'd be sensible!" My dad said. I didn't know what to say to them. I looked around and everyone was looking at me, mum, dad, my 3 uncles and even my brother was looking at me with a disappointed expression. I just sighed again.

"Look I'm sorry okay!" I finally said but my dad still looked annoyed.

"You're grounded for a month and you're not aloud out anymore" He said.

"What?! That's not fair!" I argued. Not allowing me out anymore was totally unfair.

"No, you're only 15 years old Megan, you're not an adult you can't just go out to parties and get drunk when ever you feel like it" He said sternly. I shook my head and walked away and headed upstairs to my bedroom, I didn't need to be shouted at anymore.

"Megan you get back here right now, we're not finished talking to you!" My dad shouted to me but I just ignored him and slammed my bedroom door in anger. This is so unfair, it's not like I didn't anything wrong. I couldn't believe it, they're being totally unreasonable. I still had my phone with my though. I pulled it out of my pocket and text Jason.

To Jason:
Any parties happening soon?

I smirked when I sent it, if my parents are going to stop me from leaving then I'll just sneak out, they can't stop me from going out
