Can You Tell From the Look In Her Eyes?
Tonight's Gonna Be A Good Night
"It sounds like Mr. Dawson has no way of getting out of this," the policeman flipped his notebook shut and placed his hand on my shoulder. "I'll see to it that he doesn't."
"Thank you," I half-smiled, wiping the sticky tears from my face.
"CARTER!" Jaime ran up to me and hugged me tight.
"Jaime," I smiled, relieved he was okay. "I'm so glad you're okay."
"It's only a black eye and a busted lip. I'll be okay," he whispered in my ear, then pulled away so he could look at me. "I'm so proud of you, baby. You were so brave."
I smiled. At least he isn't disgusted with me.
"Let's go get you some clean clothes and find you a bunk to sleep in," he grabbed my hand and pulled me through the growing crowd.
I changed into sweats and fixed my hair. (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=87914400) We grabbed my suitcase, my laptop, and my pillow, then went over to Gavin's bus. He apparently had decided to stay with Dance Gavin Dance for the rest of the tour. When I stepped onto the bus, Logan, Ruby, Kathy, Matt, Gavin, and the rest of DGD all hugged me.
We all stayed up and just had fun. We watched crappy Disney movies, ate popcorn, and then got too bored to watch anything else. Luckily, the topic of... the thing... never came up.
"Let's play truth or dare!" Shouted Gavin.
"Okay," we said in unison.
"Hmmmm... Matt! Truth or dare?" He grinned wickedly.
"Truth," Matt replied.
"Pussy," Gavin muttered. "Who's the hottest girl on this bus?"
"Um..." Matt looked around seeming to be undecided. "Ruby."
Ruby blushed until she was red. "Okay," Mett smiled. "Kathy. Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you... to ding-dong-ditch Bring Me's bus!"
"Deal," Kathy grinned, getting up.
We all went outside and watched Kathy go up to the bus. She pounded on the side as loud as she could, and then sprinted back our way. She bent over, out of breath, when we heard the door open.
"Oi! What do you want?! I was boning my girl!" Matt yelled.
"Do you mean Oli?!" Josh yelled. We all went into fits of laughter as we scrambled into the bus.
Five minutes later there came a knock at the door. Kathy opened it to reveal a very grumpy Matt in nothing but his boxers.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" He grumbled.
"We're not doing anything," she said innocently.
"Whatever. Just don't do it again!" He snapped and left.
"Wouldn't dream of it, you twat!" She yelled and locked the door. We were laughing so hard that I felt like I was growing a pair of abs and I could've sworn Gavin was going to pee himself.
"Okay, Carter," Kathy smiled. "Truth or dare?"
"Dare," I said, afraid of what she would ask if I picked truth.
"I dare you... to dye your hair blue!" She giggled.
I took my fading pink strands in between my fingers. "Okay."
Kathy, Ruby, Logan, and I piled into Gavin's car and drove to the nearest CVS. We settled on the brightest turquoise we could find. After a drive back in a car filled with karaoke to everything from Pierce the Veil to Gorillaz, we found our way back to the bus.
"Why is it everytime I come on this I dye my hair?" I laughed.
"Because only you could pull off blue hair!" Logan giggled.
"Why, thank you," I curtsied.
"Come on!" Ruby laughed. "Time to put chemicals in your hair until it changes colors!"
"Well, when you put it that way..." I joked and followed her into the bathroom.
The rest of the group continued on with their little game while Ruby bleached my hair back to its normal color. Then, she put in the blue dye (which was a bluish-black), we talked for about 40 minutes about her and Mike. Her phone timer went off and she told me to get in the shower. I immediately stripped and hopped in. When I came out, she gasped. My hair was bright blue.
"I LOVE IT!" I yelled, pulling her into a hug.
"I'm glad," she laughed. "Now, let me go. Short people like air, too!"
"Sorry," I grinned and let her go.
I dried my hair and straightened it, making sure it was ready for presentation. Then, I walked out to a room full of drunk almost-adults. They erupted into applause when I walked out.
"Hey. Since we're staying the night here, we're all going to the club," Logan smiled. "Wanna come with?"
"I don't know, guys..." I said hesitantly. I mean, I felt better now that I had changed my appearance and in a way I was no longer the rape victim everyoen should pity. I was just Carter. Should I go out? I mean, what if something else horrible happens?
"Come on, babe," Gavin smiled. "It'll get your mind off things. Plus, everyone at the club will get to admire your amazing hair."
I sighed, not believeing I was about to do this, "Okay."
"Wooh! Now go get ready!" Gavin yelled, hugging me.
The four of us girls brought our respective bags of clothing into the back lounge, trading clothing items until we were satisfied.
I ended up with a high-lo dress, Logan's pumps, Ruby's clutch, and Kathy's earrings. (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=87948851) Logan ended up wearing one of my dresses, Ruby's pink boots, and her favorite ring (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=87950183). Kathy chose her brand new watercolor dress, Logan's boots & earrings, and a Kate Spade bag that had been forgotten at the party the other day. (http://www.polyvore.com/kathy_chpt_16/set?id=87950604) Finally, Ruby went classic with a sequined dress, Kathy's fire hydrant-red pumps, my white clutch, and simple diamond earrings (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=87951037).
I opened up my music and turned on Ohioisonfire, then we walked into the front lounge one-by-one, putting on our own mini fashion show. Logan twirled out, blew a kiss, and then sat down on the couch. Kathy did a model walk with her hands on her hips, made a pouty face, then sat next to Logan. Ruby ran out and slid on her knees, pretending to play the guitar, stuck her tongue out, then joined the others on the sofa. I put one arm over my head and the other by my waist, leaning against the door frame, walked out, twirled, and plopped down next to Gavin.
"Now that we've got some smokin' chicks on our arms, let's go!" The boys shouted and ran out to the limo they had apparently called.
"Should we call the guys?" I asked, worried.
"I already told them," Logan smiled putting her hand on my arm. "NOW LET'S PARTY!"
I laughed and got in the back of the limo, smushed between Gavin and Logan. I smiled. Tonight's gonna be a good night.
"Thank you," I half-smiled, wiping the sticky tears from my face.
"CARTER!" Jaime ran up to me and hugged me tight.
"Jaime," I smiled, relieved he was okay. "I'm so glad you're okay."
