~~~Dylan~~~

" Hey dude," someone calls out. " Wake up." I feel a push at my side. " Hello?" Another push. I squich my eyes open and remember I'm still at the bar.

" Sil?" I ask. The guy in front of me shakes his head and pulls me up. " You okay there? You've been sleeping for almost two hours." I rub the sleep out of my eyes in a childlike manner and mutter, "Sorry".

I'm fully awake now and look around. It's pitch black outside but I could still hear the music beating and the lights richocet off the building onto the sidewalk. I walk around a bit and then head inside the bar. A crowd of people are still dancing and Lady Gaga's " Bad Romance" plays. Damn, do these people ever sleep? I look around for Sil but I don't see him through all of these people. My second thought on where he might be is in one of the rooms, but I'm afriad of checking. What if....?

I shake my head and run upstairs anyway. I'm ready to go home and if Sil is nowhere to be seen I'm definitely leaving him. When I'm on the second floor, I notice piles of trash and beer bottles sprawled on the ground. I politely step over them and stand outside the door on the left. It's pretty dark in the hallway and I can see the crack of light at the bottom opening of the door.

Before I step in, I yell " Sil? Sil, it's Dylan. " There's no answer and I uncomfortably stand there, deciding whether I should just go in or leave. Suddenly, the hallway light flickers on and I turn around abruptly. A boy about my age is standing there. " I wouldn't advise you to go in there." he says. His blonde hair is covering his eyes and he has a patch of freckles stretched across his nose.

" Why?" I ask him, completely stunned. He moves forward and starts picking up the trash on the floor. " Just don't." My eyebrows arch up and I can start to feel my anger rising. Then where the hell is Sil? I breathe out deeply and clench my fist. " Have you seen this kid about this tall," I raise my hand level to my mouth, "brown hair, blue eyes, around 16 years old?"

The boy thinks and shakes his head.

" Wearing an Of Mice & Men band t-shirt?"

" Ah, totally! I think I saw him in the bathroom." He points at the door at the back. "...vomiting." He just shrugs and grimaces.My eyes widen and I start to run to the door but the boy calls out to me.

" Wait, come here." He walks over to me and hesitantly reaches into his pocket and hands me a card, with his name and number: Andrew Sykes, 240- 279- 6678.

" What's this?" I ask.

He looks away and continues to pick up the trash. " Oh, I...um, don't be reluctant to call me sometime." The boy, well, Andrew, stares up at me and smiles. " You're pretty hot." I blush and almost tell him I'm not gay when Sil bursts out of one of the doors, which I assume is the bathroom. " Oh god, baby! Where have you been?" Sil wipes his mouth and walks toward me unsteadily.

" Where have I been? Where have you been? I've been waiting for you for two hours! God damnit, I'm ready to go."

"Oh, I'm so sorry Dylan. But guess what? I had the best time of my life." Sil runs toward me with his hands in the air and jumps on me, his legs wrapping around my bottom. His arms attach around my neck and he kisses me repeatedly on the cheek.. He jumps off of me and takes both of my hands in his. " I got loved tonight, babe. I think I found my true love. This time I mean it. He's amazing and I can't imagine ever being with anyone else. I mean it. I'm just so in love! I don't want to leave him. Can I go back? Oh my gosh, I'm having these feeling again..." he continues babbling on about what happened as leads me back downstairs. I look over my shoulder at Andrew and he licks his lips nervously and gives me half a smile.

Sil directs me through the crowd and out the door. We walk towards my car and I start to get annoyed of Sil's voice. I should have just left him there. I want to change the subject so I come up with anything.

"Andrew told me you were vomi-"

" Who's Andrew?" his eyes widen with curiosity.

I unlock my car and sit down, starting it up once Sil took his seat. " This boy I met." I had a feeling Sil was going to smile but he did much more than I expected. His eyes widen and he covers his mouth. " You met someone! Did you hook up with him? Who is he? Do I know him?"

Oh, shit. What have I done?

" No no no, I asked him if he knew where you were but then I found you. That's all." I drive off on the highway and head to Sil's house first.

He looks dissapointed. " What a shame."

It's useless to explain for the billioneth time that I don't find boys attractive so I go along with it. I nod my head, " What a shame."

" There's awlays next time."

" Next time? Fucking no way."

There's this thing about Sil and 'no's" though I think I've already explained this before. A wave of deja vu flows through me. I remember the folded card of Andrew's number in my back pocket. I sigh heavily. What a shame.
