Ally and Normani left early the next morning to go see their families. They promised to check in on me before my parents got here in two days, but I insisted on them staying with their families because they are way more important.
As soon as they left, I passed out again until 6. My Uncle never made it home, which I expected since he texted me in the middle of the night to tell me he'd been flew in Tennessee to go over some last minute problems with the show. Wow, I could've been ignored in the tour bus but I decided to come to this huge ass house. It really brightens up my mood. Can you tell?
Jessie texted me at least 5 times in the middle of the night trying to get me to answer her.
Jessie: Y/N! Wake up!
Jessie: will u need a ride tomorrow?
Jessie: are u starting to ignore me already
Jessie: I just noticed its 3 am and I feel so bad
Jessie: sorry lol message me when u wake up. kk?
I decided it'd be better to text her now than see her later tonight awkwardly ignoring her texts.
Y/N: gawd U text a lot. & yeah I could use a ride but I don't live in my old house anymore. my uncle got a new one while I've been gone.
Jessie: oh shit. you're moving up. well send me the address & I'll pick u up around 9:50 since u want to show up at 10.
Y/N: okay. and I gotta be back by 2 because I have to wake up at 11 the next morning. got it?
Jessie: sure thing, captain. see u tonight. and don't worry, I'll be around u all night so we can have fun.
It made me feel a bit better to hear that Jessie was willing to pick me up and spend time with me tonight. I didn't feel as nervous now. Maybe seeing an actual familiar face would help me a little. I went down stairs to eat a few Oreos that I had left over, then throw away the empty package.
"God, I need to clean up tomorrow." I whispered to myself. I felt so weird in this house alone, almost eerie yet freeing. Although, there was something about this place that just made me feel like I wanted to leave. It may be because there's too many rooms for only one person. I shook the thoughts out of my head as I heard Mila's ringtone go off on the marble counter. I picked up my phone and accepted the FaceTime request.
"Hey babe, woah. Did you just wake up?" Mila said staring harshly into the screen.
I rolled my eyes and smiled, "Thanks babe, for making my self esteem drop lower than its been."
"I'm sorry, Y/N. It's just that your hair is in a sloppy bun so I just... never mind." She giggled eating a piece of popcorn. "What are you doing waking up so late? Was your sleepover with Mani and Ally that turnt?"
I laughed hearing her raspy voice, "You could say that." I leaned on the counter to get closer to my phone. "What are you doing?"
She took another piece of popcorn and stuck it in her mouth, then wriggled her eyebrows at me. "Just eating a little snack. Sofi made it for me. It's my 'lunch'." She did the little air quotes with a small smile. "But what are you planning on doing the rest of the day?"
Should I tell her? No. It'll only make things worse, but if I don't and she finds out then she'll be pissed. "Um, I was going to take a shower and then get ready to hang out with a few friends tonight."
She looked up at someone passing by her and then looked at her screen again, "Oh yeah? Mani and Ally are coming over again?"
I shook my head."Nope, just a few old friends that I had down here."
Mila's eyes widened, "Please tell me you aren't hanging out with Jessie tonight."
I grabbed a twist tie from the bag of bread and started fiddling with it. "So?..."
"You know how I feel about her, y/n!"
"No, I don't." I lied. I really do. The last time I saw Jessie was after Mila and I started dating and Mila was a bit protective over me then. I mean she still is, but not as much as she was. It was bad. So, one night Jessie and I snuck out late at night to hang out with our friends on an abandoned bridge. Well, that night a few kids had cigarettes and beers and we were all sharing them as kids do. Before you know it, I'm drunk off my ass and smoking a cigarette and a cop pulls up. Everyone starts ditching but I was too slow to run. Let's just say, I showed up at my house late at night with a police officer pushing my drunk ass into my house. I wasn't able to see Mila or any of the girls for almost 3 weeks then. Camila has yet to forget about it.
She was getting a little mad as she brushed her fingers through her hair and got up to go outside of her house so she could have a real conversation with me. After she was outside, she raised her voice. "You know I think she's a bad influence, and don't pretend like she's not. She almost got you sent to jail once and then she dropped you like a sack of potatoes when she was asked if she really was with you."
I smiled at her simile. "You're cute when you're upset."
She smiled a little until it faded again, "Well I must be fucking sexy because I'm pissed as all hell. What are you
planning on doing tonight if I may ask? And I may."
I picked up the phone and took it to the dinner table and set it up against the empty pizza box, "We are just gonna hang out. That's it. I can't stay out that late anyways because I have to clean up for my parents."
I stopped myself. What the fuck did I just say. Did I say that out loud? Did I just admit that to Camila? Camila's eyebrow raised, "Your parents? What aren't you telling me, y/n?"
I looked at the clock and saw it said '7:45'. "Oh look at the time, baby. I gotta take a shower. I'll text you, okay?"
"No you won't hang up on me, Y/f/n y/m/n y/l/n. If you love me and our relationship you'll tell me what's happening with your parents." Camila said almost furiously.
I shrugged still fiddling with the green twisty tie, "Well Karla Camila Cabello, there's not much to go off of. My uncle, who's not even here, broke the news to me the day I got here."
"Where's Uncle Mike?"
"In Tennessee working on the show." I admitted.
Automatically Camila's voice shot up three octaves in anger, "Tennessee? Does he even know that you are at home alone in a giant ass mansion and you're parents, whom I despise completely, are going to be in that house soon. Exactly when will they be there, Y/N?"
"Wednesday, but it's not that big of a deal. I-" I said.
Camila interrupted me walking into her house, "I gotta go y/n. I love you and I'll message you tonight." Camila ended the call causing me to become totally confused as to what just happened.
I decided to just shake it off and get my shower started up for tonight. I turned on my spotify to play my 'Shower' playlist and got in to the scolding hot water. This time I had no worries about interruptions or run ins with people on the tour. It was just me, the water, and my thoughts.
I guess I got so into my thoughts that I spent over an hour and a half in the shower. The water didn't even get cold once. The time was now 8:59 and I was stressing. I wanted to actually spend my time primping and pampering to get myself looking hot as fuck for tonight. And I would.
By the time I got done it was officially 9:50 and I was putting on my last earring and shuffling to grab my heels. I walked down the stairs to get my heels from the living room and slip them on quickly. My phone was charging on the couch.
I saw I got a text from Mila.
Camila: what are u doing?
Y/N: bouta go out for the night.
Camila: at 10pm? y/n, you're still under 18. you'll get charged as a minor if you're caught
Y/N: you're over thinking everything, Mila. stop. because then you freak yourself out when you worry.
Camila: ugh okay. I know. please just be safe and don't let Jenius Jessie make a bad impression on u.
Y/N: Mila bby, genius is spelt with a g. not j. xD
Camila: I know I was trying to be cute. x( you're worse at correcting me than Grammar Queen Lauren.
I heard the doorbell ring so I yanked my phone from my charger to text Mila goodnight.
Y/N: Jessie just got here. I gotta go bby. I love you & I'll text you in the morning.
Camila: oh damn. promise me you'll stay out of trouble. pls?
Y/N: fine I promise. u love me?
Camila: yes baby I do. good night xx
I answered it to see my old friend, Jessie. Her hair was long, black, and curled. Her Puerto Rican skin was a light tan, but not too much. And her outfit was on point. She was a lot more gorgeous than I remembered her to be. "Oh my God, y/n. I was planning on just texting you when I was here so I wouldn't have to get out but I had to look inside to see if it's real. Wow, Your uncle really did good for himself, huh?"
I nodded, "Yeah, I guess so. Well, I'm ready."
As we began walking out of the house she laughed, "You didn't do too bad for yourself either, did you?"
I was confused, "What do you mean?"
As we both entered she started the car and wasted no time peeling out of the street. Pretty badass, by the way. "I mean, you changed a lot. In a good way though. I'm guessing you're not a virgin anymore." I swatted her arm lightly and laughed. She reminded me so much of Dinah. Jessie didn't give a fuck about anything. "I'll take that as a yes. I'm not gonna waste time trying to get to know you again. So, I'll just ask. Who are you fucking now? Because Damn Mami."
"Stop it, Jess. This is making me feel so uncomfortable. We barely see each other and you're already asking me who I'm fucking." I groan knowing deep in my heart that she's not going to let up.
"Fine, you'll drink later and I'll ask all my questions then." She said laughing.
I looked at her, "You wish I'd answer them."
"I do." She laughed.
We had a couple of cute flashbacks and moments that we shared with each other until we made it to Karley's house. It was already crazy. People were piling in and out of the huge lit up house in the outskirts of Houston. "When everyone sees you, their mouths are gonna drop." Jessie said as we trailed up the concrete path in heels.
"Is it gonna be a good drop? Like a jealousy drop?" I asked feeling hopeful.
She looked back at me and gave me a sexual wink. "Hell yea, Mami. You're hot as fuck now."
Now? No one told me I was the ugly ducking before? Oh wait, I already knew that.
We entered the house, and like Jessie said, everyone looked at me amazed. They all began whispering and I caught one of their conversations and I started walking towards Jessie.
A short girl, almost Lauren's height with blonde hair looked at me then turned to the guy beside her, "Is that Y/F/N Y/L/N? When the hell did puberty do so good for her?"
The boy she was talking to leaned back to take a swig of his red solo cup, "I dunno, but she's sexy as fuck."
I laughed as I saw Jessie grabbed me and her two cups and two bottles of Smirnoff Ice to pour into the cups. "I can't drink beer because it's just too shitty. If you want some go ahead."
I laughed, "No I understand. Just pour me a glass and I'll drink what you're having."
She nodded and filled a cup for me and her. I received my cup and turned away for a second to see a kid with blonde hair, blue eyes, and white v-neck start walking towards me. Jessie nudged my shoulder, "That's Erin Loss. He's the basketball team captain. I think he's coming this way to talk to you."
I took a drink, "I don't really care. Is he likable or is he a shit head jock?"
She shrugged, "Eh, he has his days. But most of the time he's pretty chill I guess."
The blonde walked up to me with a smile. He was prettier up close, but not that much. "Hey Jessie." He said turning to my friend then back to me. "Hi there, I'm Erin. What's your name?"
Jessie put her arm in between Erin and I. "She's off limits tonight, Fuck boy. We are just trying to chill."
He never left his glare to me. I pretended to be okay with it but the thought of him made me sick. Mostly because he was trying really hard. "I just wanna know her name, Jess."
I half-smiled pushing Jessie's arm down. "I'm Y/N. Nice to meet you, but I'm really just here to chill. Sorry."
I looked over to Jessie who had an annoyed look covering her face as Erin kept staring at me. "I understand. Just thought I'd welcome her to my sister's house party. Nice to meet you, y/n."
I rolled my eyes and he turned away to go up the stairs in the house. "Since when did Karley have a brother?" I asked Jessie.
"He's older, and in our grade. He really didn't like telling people Karley was his sister because she started too much shit back then."
I nodded taking a sip of my alcoholic beverage in agreement when I felt my phone go off in my bra. I turned towards the counter to retrieve it and look at my messages.
Mama Ally: Come answer your door!
Y/N: I can't
Mama Ally: what do u mean, you can't? I have a surprise for you.
Y/N: I'm at a party out of town.
Mama Ally: the hell you are. where?
Y/N: calm down mom. I'm fine, and I'll be home at 2.
Mama Ally: where. are. you.?
Y/N: right outside of Houston. like maybe 5 minutes outside of it.
Mama Ally: address now. I'm not playing. it's only Monday and you've managed to find yourself out of the town by yourself.
Y/N: no I'm not by myself. I'm with a friend. you & mani should come party too tho.
I started to feel the alcohol hit me which was weird. It was a lot stronger than what I've ever had before. Almost like it was spiked but I knew it couldn't be since Jessie was the one who got the bottles. I texted her the address with a smile.
Y/N: but don't come if u r cranky. this party is a buzzkill free zone. got it?
Mama Ally: you're already fucked up. I'm on my way. expect a lecture when I find u.
I stuffed my phone back into my bra and looked to see Jessie and another familiar blonde chatting behind me.
The both walked up to me with a smile, "Oh my god, Y/N! You look so good. What happened?"
I was a big annoyed, "Does anyone know how to start a proper conversation?"
Jessie hit the blondes arm laughing, "Her new trait is bitchiness."
"I like it." The blonde said. "I'm Karley. You don't remember me, huh?"
I took another drink, "Oh, I remember you."
She looked concerned which I was happy about. "That's good, I think. Well, I have to go check up on my house really quick, but there's a pool and jacuzzi in the back. Oh and the whole house is free domain. Have fun and there are no rules."
I smirked sarcastically as she promptly walked away. Her ass was pretty hot but her personality made me quiver.
--
Jessie and I did a lot of drinking. So much, that at one point I started feeling sleepy so Jessie took me to a room to have me lay down because I was starting to pass out in public. Which is good that she did that because she didn't want anyone to take advantage of me.
Jessie went to the bathroom and left me on the bed for a second. That's when the bedroom door swung open and I didn't really want to budge to see who it was. The voice was extremely familiar as she yelled out, "Ally, Mani, She's in here!"
The person got closer and started patting my face, "Baby, baby. Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
I opened my eyes to see Camila right above me. "Mila?"
She nodded, "Yes, baby. We are going to your house. Okay?" I nodded as Mani and Ally entered the room.
"Oh my god, was she passed out on this bed?" Ally screamed coming to my other side to help hold me up.
"I'm fine, Jeesus." I slurred my words and pulled myself away from them almost falling on my ass.
Camilas voice was stern, "You're so fucked up, y/n. I can't believe this."
I felt hurt that she was so cold at the moment as she and Ally helped me up again and started dragging me out the back door. Once we were out we only had to walk a few yards out to get into the black escalade where I laid my head on Mani's shoulder.
I couldn't help but feel myself losing all touch with the world and start fading out. I just kept thinking to myself, "If I wake up tomorrow, I'm really gonna regret everything."
