~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The party is in full swing. Everyone is holding a red cup full of liquid. There are people everywhere. Father really out did himself this time for his best friends birthday. Father has been trying to get me to make a mash up for this guys birthday. Im supposed to be leaving soon. Well technically sneaking out but father doesn't need to know that.

I just made it to the kitchen for a quick beer and to sneak a few shots. Luckily, theres no one in this enclosed room. I put two beers in the pockets of my sweats then quickly pour three shots. I down them all and turn to leave. Right when I get to the swinging door, it opens and almost hits me. I move quickly and watch as a tall man with chocolate brown hair walks in. He goes to the fridge and takes out a beer, opening it and chugging it.

"Michael." I hear fathers deep voice call out as the half closed door reopens. My large 6'5" father with slicked back wavy hair, and tattoos covering exposed skin walks in. I take this chance since they both aren't facing the door to escape. I hold it open and sneak out just as I hear father speak of his birthday. Pushing past people I notice that my mother is actually mingling. She usually comes out for a few hours then goes to sleep. She can't stay up like the rest of us.

I move towards her. "Mother im going to be with friends tonight at a bonfire at Seal beach. I wont be back till maybe one maybe two the latest." I whisper in her ear.

"Take your keys and try not to be too loud taking out your car okay? Your keys are under my red flower pot. Have fun and text me when your there. Okay?" I nod and kiss her cheek.

"See you ma."

"Bye hun. Have fun." I wave at her friends and walk away. I walk back up the stairs and into my room. I lock the door then go to my computer.

After about an hour, I finished the video, drank about five beers and had my clothes ready under my pjs. I download the video onto a CD and put it in the case. I ran downstairs to look for my dad.

I looked around for a while. I saw the brown haired guy again. We stare at each other for a minute before I continue on my way. Martin I think his name was. Father isn't around him right now. He might be in the back. I walk some more and see him on the couch with mother on his lap. They haven't been like this in a while. She usually separates herself a bit when he's with his friends. But now? He is surrounded by them all.

I walk up to them and whisper to them, "The video is dome father. Her you go." I hand it to mother. "Would you like me to write on the cover for him?" He nods.

"Write, 'To my best friend and right hand man. Happy 23rd birthday Pee Boy from the Grey family." I take it from mom and write it in the way father writes. A bit messy but neat. I hand it to him and he nods.

"Okay well im going to sleep. Goodnight father. Goodnight mother." I gave them both kisses on their cheeks and wave to their friends. I walk to my room quickly. I undress and smooth out my smiley sweater and jeans. I slip on my my Black converse and pick up my backpack that has what i need. I pull my bed and unlock the little door behind it. i open it and toss in my backpack, phone, beanie, and flashlight. I grab the chain and climb in closing the door behind me. I lock it and use the flashlight to guide myself down the spiral stairs i had the workers build in when this place was being built. My backpack makes little sounds but not to much.

I finally get to the exit door and unlock it. I crawl out and then close it again re-locking it. I'm on the side of my house right below my room window. I run to the edge of the house near the front and make sure that no one is there. Once im sure there is no one i run out and look under mother's red pot. Taking my keys i run to the garage door. Thankfully someone just left so i open the window near my car and crawl in. I close it and walk to the front of the car before the door opens.

"What the hell do you mean she's there?" I crouch down and curse to myself. "Impossible! She should be at her house." There's silence that follows as the other person talks. "Well fucking get her home now." He says firmly. I look over the hood of my car and see a short man with tattoos on his arm. He has what looks light black hair under a tan fedora. It's Derek.

My phone vibrates so i look down at it.

Trish; Hey you on your way yet?

Me; Yea i have to sneak out though. I'll be there in a bit kay?

Trish; KK See you . and Jonathan has asked me a few times when your coming. ;)

I shake my head and put my phone away.

"When you get her home tell her to stay there and that im on my way. Yea. No." He sighs and rubs his neck. "Yea make it quick. Get her and i a piece too. Oh and can you get food on the way to my house. Yea get something for yourself too. I'll repay you when i get home. Yea we just need to watch a video Big P's daughter made for Mich then im out. Yea. Alright later Smith." He hangs up and goes to the fridge taking out a beer then walking inside again. I quickly get into my car and turn it on leaving my door open. I open the garage and wait till its wide enough for my car to go through before slipping out and re-closing it. I zoom down the street as i see the brown haired guy and my dad walking out. Thankfully my dad doesn't notice me but Mich does. He looks directly at me from my slightly rolled down window before i look ahead and speed off.

Me; On my way. Tell J that im on my way. Thanks babe.

Trish; Okay ;) See you in a bit babe!!
