tw — underage drinking , vomiting

ᵣₑₐₗ ₗᵢfₑ !

It's finally saturday evening and mikayla is currently getting ready for the party at home with maria and lucille. the past week has been great, especially with her relationship going well. they haven't had any arguments and fake dating has been becoming easier and easier.

the girls blast chase atlantic, singing along while getting dressed and doing their makeup. miks jumps up and down on her bed, using a hairbrush as a microphone. "i don't know if you already know how, but girl i got the feeling that you know now," she sings, basically screaming.

nate yells at her to shut up from his bedroom, but she ignores his groans of frustration. lucille and maria dance while recording themselves as well as mikayla. she jumps off of her bed, dizzily stumbling towards the music speaker, turning the volume down.

"the party is the only thing that's been keeping me alive this week," lucille practically yells after taking a shot of vodka while everyone else agrees. out of everyone, excluding mason and maria, she's the only one who drinks outside of parties. chris, matt and nate don't because of lacrosse and hockey, also matt doesn't because he's the designated driver, nick says cheap alcohol is gross, and mikayla's a lightweight.

which is the exact reason she promises herself that she won't drink tonight. it doesn't take a lot for her to get drunk and she has no idea what she'll say if she does and as she's thinking of the possible outcomes of tonight, her phone buzzes.

#1 weirdo
yoo we're outside

as the girls finish off their outfits, multiple loud honks come from outside of the house. the three of them immediately realize that it's matt and the rest of the triplets in the minivan, giggling and cheering at the thought of the party they've been looking forward to. nate tells miks to be smart and to be back at a decent time as if he's her dad but she promises that she'll be on her best behavior.

          As soon as the friend group enters the mansion, their nostrils are immediately invaded with the smell of sweaty, intoxicated teens and now matt is already regretting coming. he's just the designated driver, making him groan and roll his eyes at the sight in front of him. it's not like he's nervous, it's just his social anxiety that he can't control. matt originally didn't want to go, but his friends practically forced him with justified reasons.

chris throws his arm over mikayla's shoulder, greeting all of his mostly drunk lacrosse team as well as his other friends while the girls, mason and his brothers follow behind. mikes greets them too, as the 'star player's' girlfriend, and chris is honestly proud to call her his even if they aren't really together.

          as they're laughing with their fellow students, mason's already poured himself multiple drinks. he passes one to chris, but he has two and the other is for mikayla, giving it to her. chris pushes it back towards him. "didn't nate literally say you shouldn't drink tonight?"

          a crease forms between her eyebrows and she rolls her eyes. a this moment, she feels like chris is basically treating her like a child just because of what her brother told him. "yep, but he's not here," so instead of refusing the drink she takes it from mason's grip before taking a sip of it. her face scrunches up cringing at the unfamiliar taste of alcohol, but after all this is a back to school party, so she downs the rest of it.

          mikayla wants another drink. it's her first party of the year and she wants to at least have a little bit of fun before they have to go back to school. she swaps chris' arm around her for maria's and the two make their way to the kitchen, screaming along to lyrics of a song by the weeknd with everyone else surrounding them. chris is surprised but at the same time he's admiring her.

          the girls pass by teens making out, playing beer pong or just acting stupid, pushing through the tight gaps left. they reach the drink table, conversing and giggling with their classmates.

maria pours a bunch of shots, grabbing a tray and placing them on it so she can easily take them to share with the rest of her friends. miks quickly downs one before maria leaves the kitchen, making a bee-line to the living room.

           as mikayla grabs a red solo cup, she browses through her options before being pushed slightly. miks glances up with her eyebrows furrowed until she realizes it's only abel. he smiles when they make eye contact, also taking a cup.

          "didn't expect to see you here," she loudly speaks over the music blasting through the house. "you honestly don't seem like the party type."

          abel shrugs, grabbing a bottle of coke then vodka. he mixes the two drinks, taking a sip from his cup and approvingly nodding his head. "thought i'd miss out if i didn't come."

          "any drink recommendations?" miks looks up at him and tilts her head. he smirks and takes the empty cup from out of her hands. abel taps on his chin, pretending to think about what combination to surprise her with. he hasn't made it obvious, but slowly he's very attracted to mikayla. it's only been a week but she's beautiful and he can't help it.

          mikayla smiles as she watches him pour her a drink. "so how's your first week at somerville high been?"

          abel, shaking his head while passing the cup to her. his left hand awkwardly scratches the back of his neck. "i'm literally the new guy and someone already wants to rip my face off," he purses his lips. "so obviously it's been amazing."

          mikayla rolls her eyes, immediately knowing that he's talking about chris and the tension between them ever since he sat next to miks in homeroom. but to be honest, he sat next to her and chris tried to make a big scene out of it.

as she's giggling with abel, nick appears from the crowd desperately needing to pull her away from him. not because he wants to, but because throughout the whole time she's been talking to abel, chris has had his eyes glued to them.

          nick couldn't bear to watch chris' face scrunch up everytime they laughed with each other or she'd touch his arm gently. he places himself in between abel and mikayla, standing in silence and stopping them from continuing their conversation. nick pretends that he actually came for a drink, grabbing a cold can or dr pepper from the bucket of ice.

          miks taps on nick's shoulder causing him to innocently turn to face her and stand in front of abel. her mouth parts, trying to find the words to explain her confusion as he sips on his can of soda.

          "your boyfriend wants you," he unenthusiastically grumbles, gently holding mikayla's wrist so he can easily direct her through the crowd of people. "he says it's important," it really isn't but it's the only excuse nick can think of right now.

          before mikayla can even think of saying goodbye to abel, nick's already pulling her away from him and to the living room and as soon as she enters the room, chris is manspreading on the couch next to his friends.

he's not even looking up at mikayla instead his eyes are glued to his phone scrolling through instagram and next to him, maria is drunkenly flirting with Matt.

          she's playing with his hair and he isn't complaining at all while he takes sips of his rootbeer. "c'mon lemme get you a real drink!" maria drunkenly slurs, twirling his hair around her fingers.

he licks his lips and shakes his head. "d.d, remember?" matt tilts his head and maria smiles at him. "someone has to be sober enough to drive you all home."

a wide grin spreads across mikayla's face as she watches them flirt, internally knowing that she's never going to stop talking about it tomorrow. but her smile quickly drops as she notices how chris hasn't looked at her once. miks' eyes narrow and she feels frustrated that he's ignoring her again for no reason.

"what's so important nick?" mikayla spins around to face the boy next to her but he defensively throws his arms in the air while shaking his head. "i was actually enjoying talking to abel."

chris' jaw ticks and he chews on his bottom lip, glancing up at miks without her realizing. he rolls his tongue inside of his cheek before bitterly taking a sip of his drink. he's definitely jealous and it's obvious to everyone within his proximity.

mikayla doesn't want to waste most of her night watching her fake boyfriend sulk over the smallest things, so she chooses to instead join mason and lucille. they're dancing together in a room illuminated with radiant blue lights. drake's old songs blast through the house, definitely managing to echo throughout the neighborhood.

mason throws his arm around lucille and mikayla, the three happily dancing with each other. but miks doesn't feel like she's having fun yet, especially with chris still on her mind. it's been happening a lot recently; he's the only thing she's been thinking about and she genuinely can't stop.

as mason drunkenly sways to the rhythm, humming loudly and almost falling flat on his face, he passes his full cup of alcohol to mikayla. "have it!" mason yells over the music, and she laughs loudly at him. she takes a small sip before drinking it all. the drink sends a burning sensation down her throat and she coughs loudly at his choice.

then suddenly, two drinks turn to three, then three to four, four to five and now miks is stumbling around the insanely packed house. she slips her baby pink heels off, leaving her with only her white socks as she scavenges around the house. miks doesn't even realize where she is, grabbing onto everyone and everything in her proximity to prevent her from slipping.

mikayla has a tight grip on a nearby railing, treading slowly and gently up a staircase. she feels a thick lump rise up to her throat while everything around her feels like it's in slow motion. miks desperately needs to find a bathroom but the house she's trapped in is huge. however, with every door she opens, there's nothing but teenagers making out in spare bedrooms. surprisingly, she finds an empty bathroom, pushing past the people conversing ignorantly in front of the door.

miks slams the door behind her, stumbling to the toilet while using the nearby wall for support, and falling to her knees. she lifts the lid up as she tightly holds onto the seat, ignoring how revolting it actually is. mikayla gags and suddenly her whole life spills out in thick chunks. there's a sour smell now surrounding her, making it even more disgusting as she continues to vomit.

"oh fuck me..." miks mumbles, coughing. as she feels something coming again, multiple rapid knocks on the bathroom door causes her to groan loudly. the door isn't locked, but she doesn't want anybody to see her like this, especially chris. "go away!" she yells out, hearing chuckles from the other side. the door handle twists and Mikayla wants to scream. it opens and her tense shoulders fall.

it's chris, standing in the doorway with an ice cold bottle of water in one hand. the other hand has his phone and one part of him wants to take a picture to laugh at later, but he doesn't. instead he closes the door behind him, strolling towards his girlfriend.

chris drops to his knees next to her with a crease between his eyebrows, feeling sympathetic towards her. "this is the exact reason i told you not to drink," he says with a soft tone while stroking her head.

mikayla confused as to how quickly chris' attitude can change, but instead of complaining her hand falls to his knee. he looks at the way she's gagging, immediately holding loose strands of her hair in his hands.

          "fuck. you," she says before more vomit violently spews from out of her mouth. she covers her face, ignoring his smug but slightly upset expression.

"you mean thank you?" he narrows his eyes at her as she throws her head back.

chris lets go of her hair, staring at the drunk look on her face. she moves away from the toilet, leaning on the wall opposite chris who is now leaning on the bathtub. he passes her the bottle of water while she frowns at the situation she's stuck in because one thing to be caught throwing up, but it's another to be caught by chris.

miks doesn't want to admit that he was right for pushing the drink away from her in the first place as she doesn't want to give him that satisfaction. they sit in a comfortable silence for a few moments on the bathroom floor. she groans loudly. "how'd you find me? this house is hugantic."

"'hugantic'?" chris questions. he can't help but laugh at the change in mikayla's attitude after a couple drinks. "you're fucking stupid sometimes."

"no you," she retorts and chris' face twists up as he rolls his eyes. he can make a snarky comment back, but he doesn't, instead staring at her. she slouches, holding her hands up and gasping quietly. "i just realized something..."

he frowns and a sigh escapes from his lips. "what now?"

mikayla drags her hands over her face, hiding it. "i like you," she says, peeking through the gaps between her fingers. "more than i should."

chris chews on his bottom lip, staying silent. these words are all he's wanted to hear in a while and finally. but the thing with chris is that he doesn't know if he wants to be hers, but he definitely wants her to be his. it's stupid, but he's confused with his feelings right now. "you're so drunk."

mikayla crawls towards chris, placing herself next to him, leaning on the bathtub. she rests her head on his shoulder, sniffling quietly. "i may be drunk but i like you a lot chris," miks takes his hand in hers, rubbing her thumb against his smooth skin. "i do. i like christopher owen sturniolo. not in a fake way."

he lets out a long and deep sigh, allowing her to lean on him. "you're gonna forget about all this shit you're saying tomorrow."

"shhh..." she hovers her finger against his lips while her lashes flutter. "just—stop talking. you talk too much sometimes.

they sit together in silence, enjoying each others company. chris knows that by tomorrow morning, miks isn't going to recall her saying any of this, but he's not going to forget about it no matter how hard he's planning on trying. he glances down at miks in her vulnerable state, smiling slightly.

he frowns after realizing that he didn't listen to what nate told him before the party but he's glad. he's glad that he's the one to look after her right now. that she's in his arms and not anyone else's.

as they silently find comfort in each other's touch the door swings open loudly, revealing nick, matt and maria, who are holding hands. matt's being saying to nick that it's just because he wants to make sure she doesn't fall but that definitely isn't the only reason.

nick claps his hands together, pointing at the couple on the floor. "i fuckin' knew it! did i or did i not say they were in here?"

matt peeks in the bathroom, approvingly smiling at the sight of his brother happy. yes, it's in a bathroom at a high school party and mikayla is a drunken mess, but he knows that they've been having issues recently. "aww," maria drags out with a pout. "the cutest couple i've ever seen."

Matt's upper lip turns upwards. "they're so in love it's sickening," he grumbles with a sigh. "c'mon we're gonna go home now."

nick nods his head agreeingly. "like right now. mason's threatening to show everyone his dance moves while naked," he sucks air through his teeth. "abel's wrestling him trying to stop him...acting like he's fuckin' superman. fuck outta here with that shit."

chris chuckles while he gently stands, helping mikayla and picking up her pink heels. she groans, already knowing the pounding headache she's going to have tomorrow but he throws her arm over his shoulder, treading lightly towards his brothers and maria. and still, he can't stop thinking about mikayla's words.
