[Smarty]

Ze’s been sleeping for a while, I hope he’s alright. I mean, people sleep, I get that, but he’s been sleeping a lot as of late. Maybe it’s college catching up to him, I hope so, I don’t want anything to be wrong with my friends.

We ordered food shorty after Chilled got his things to his room. He claimed he was going to unpack after, but we started drinking and I know he’s going to get wasted like the rest of us and then crash.

I wish Ze was down here, he’s missing all the fun of Chilled, and I in a sense, being tipsy and shit faced. I don’t drink often, but when I do I can get pretty crazy and GaLm keeps giving me drinks.

“Dude, I really shouldn’t.” I say, declining the beer GaLm’s offering me.

“Come on Smarty, loosen up.” GaLm says.

“Yea, join the drunk crew.” Tom slurs, he’s only had three and he’s dancing with the wall. I sigh, might as well, if I feel too drunk I’ll trip up the stairs and go to bed.

“Fine,” I mutter, taking the drink from GaLm.

“Woo, Smarty’s not a party pooper!” Chilled cheers, drinking his fourth drink.

I roll my eyes, drinking the beer slowly so I can delay my drunk state. God knows what I’m going to do when I don’t remember a damn thing when I’m drunk.

The rest of the group continue to make dumb jokes and drink while I’m pretty much the only somewhat sober one, unless Ze was down here, then he’s be sober.

“What the fuck are you all doing?” I look up, speak of the devil.

“Zeeee, buddy.” Chilled stumbly gets up and walks over to Ze, “Come join us.”

Ze makes a slightly gross looking face before pushing Chilled back, “Are you all drunk?” He asks.

“No,” I say, my words slurring slightly, “They’re trying to, get me drunk but I’m pacing and delaying it.”

‘Well, you woke me up.” Ze says, looking at the rest of them. “All of you, go to bed.”

“But Zeee.” The rest of the derps whine at Ze, but he just shakes his head and points up the stairs.

“Bed.” Ze states, “You too Smarty, I don’t care if you’re not drunk, it’s late and you were hyper all day.”

I sigh, “Let me finish this one at least,” I mutter, being the only one walking straight, “I don’t like wasting drinks.

Ze sighs, “Fine, but the rest of you, go.” He states.

GaLm and Tom run into each other while they walk upstairs while Chilled just hands on Ze. “Buddy…” He whines.

“Anthony, bed.” Ze says sternly.

“Come with me.” Chilled says, his body swaying, “Come to bed with me.”

“I’m not going to bed with you, you smell like beer and you’re out of it.” Ze says, “Now go.”

Chilled whines, “But Zeee,” He drags out Ze’s name.

“See, I’m not that bad.” I say, finally finishing the beer.

Ze sighs, “If I go to bed with you, will you promise to sleep? “ He asks, looking up at Chilled.

“I,” Chilled burps slightly, “promise.”

Ze sighs, “Fine,” he mutters, “Let’s go to bed.”

Ze takes Chilled hand and drags him upstairs. The minute I see Chilled lace their fingers, I freeze, taking that in. What the fuck why am I… I shake my head and start up the stairs.

I’m drunk, and tired, and not thinking properly. Ze’s right, it’s late, I should go to bed. I walk up to my room, passing Chilled room, hearing Chilled giggling like a school girl while Ze’s telling him to put a shirt on.

I freeze again, pulling myself into my room to keep from listening anymore. Yep, tired, drunk, out of it, time to sleep.

I change into something more comfortable, mostly just getting out of these jeans before crawling into bed. I just need some sleep, when I wake up, none of what I just witnessed will matter. As long as I’m sober, nothing like that matters.
