Chapter 17
"That's it," Alice growled and took Tyler by his shirt collar. "If you say anything else, I will not hesitate to kick your fucking ass."
For the past few hours, Tyler would not stop shouting. Usually, that wouldn't bother her but today was much different. Her head hurt like a bitch and no matter what she did, the pounding wouldn't stop.
She let go of Tyler's shirt and walked upstairs to her room where she hopefully wouldn't be bothered. Grabbing the sketchpad Brock had given her, Alice began drawing. There wasn't an ideal picture in her head so she just started out with little marks, waiting for a picture to pop in her head.
After about fifteen minutes, the marks slightly resembled an outline of a face, so she began working with what she had. It was a simple sketch at first, only drawing the outline of the face and its features lightly. After that was done, she moved to the details like the eyes and the shading. Then came the hair, which took quite a while but in the end, she looked at the picture lovingly.
The picture was drawn only from memory, but it actually came out very well, one of her best in fact. Evan wasn't smiling in her picture, mostly because she could barely remember his smile.
"Ally?" Delirious knocked and poked his head in. "Sorry, just wanted to check on you after what happened. Tyler was scared shitless."
Alice smiled at him and patted the spot next to her on the bed. "I'll have to apologize later, huge headache, but its dulled a bit when I started drawing."
Jonathan sat next to her and looked at the sketchpad. "You want to talk about it?"
It's been about a month since they were informed of Evan's passing and a month and a half since Alice last saw him. She certainly hadn't forgotten him, but after learning about his death, the constant worrying about him was gone.
"No, he's gone and that's the end, but its nice to think about him every now and then," Alice sighed and out the sketchbook down. "My headache is almost completely gone."
"That's good," Delirious felt her head lower down onto his shoulder. "Alice, I have to tell you something."
Alice didn't exactly like when Jonathan acted serious. She lifted her head up from his shoulder and moved her body so that she was facing him. "What happened?"
"Nothing bad. Its just-its something stupid. Forget I said anything," Delirious stuttered. "If your head doesn't hurt anymore, why don't we go downstairs and enjoy some mac n cheese?"
The green eyed girl was curious about what her best friend was going to say, but she went along with him downstairs, forgetting it. Everyone was downstairs enjoying their video games and bowls of mac n cheese, which Brock made tons of.
Her eyes landed on Tyler and she sat next to him. "Sorry about earlier. Migraines bring out the worst in me," Alice apologized with a small smile.
"It's fine, Alice. How about you make it up to me by a quick kiss," Tyler laughed, turning his head so his cheek was facing her.
Alice shoved him and laughed. "In your fucking dreams, Tyler. I'm gonna go get some food."
As she walked into the kitchen, she found Craig and Brock sitting on the kitchen stools and talking. They looked to her after she walked in and continued their conversation after saying hi.
Taking a bowl from the cabinets, Alice filled it with mac n cheese and went back to the living room, leaving the two boys to talk.
"Are you really going to eat all that?" Terroriser scrunched his face up seeing the huge amount of mac n cheese in Alice's bowl.
With all seriousness, Alice stared at him. "Are you really going to ask me that?"
Brian shook his head, taking back what he said and left the girl alone. While Craig and Brock were in the kitchen, everyone else was in the living room enjoying themselves playing video games and talking.
For the past month, the gang had been slowly taking over small companies leading to larger ones, making most of the business in Los Santos theirs.
Gangs throughout the city all knew of them, their new leader, and their old one. Alice, being the person she is, visited a lot of those gangs and made reasonable pacts. And so far, almost everyone respected her and the gang, just like they had with her father.
"How about we go out tonight? To celebrate how much we've grown," Alice suggested, to which everyone agreed to. It was about five in the afternoon, so Alice decided that they'd leave around seven.
Since Craig and Brock probably didn't hear her, she went into the kitchen to tell them their plans for later on. They were no longer talking, just silently enjoying their food while Brock read.
"Clubbing around seven sound good to you guys?" They simply nodded so Alice left the two and went upstairs to her room.
The raven haired girl wasn't in the mood for playing video games or talking right now, so she figured she'd just get ready. Evan's room had its own private bathroom, which she was very thankful for.
Grabbing her towel, she headed off into her bathroom and took a cold shower. After that, she dried herself off and blow dried her hair as well. Taking her curling iron, Alice started working on her hair. Her hair was fairly thick so curling it was a bit of a hassle, but in thirty minutes, it was finished.
Going to her closet, she picked out a black lace dress that she bought ages ago but never had the chance of wearing. (A/N: Picture of the dress on the side) Then came the makeup which Alice spent a little time on. The green eyed girl used a dark red lipstick and put on her black eyeliner. The finished look was perfect and Alice smiled at herself in the bathroom mirror.
By then, it was already 6:15 so she still had forty-five minutes to herself before the gang would go out. A knock at the door made her realize she wouldn't be able to be alone.
"Hey. I was just wondering if you have any-," Tyler stopped mid sentence as his eyes landed on Alice. "Wow, you look amazing."
"Thanks Tyler. You're not looking so bad yourself," Alice smiled. Tyler was wearing a suit, a bit dressed up for the occasion but looking very handsome. "What did you need?"
"Nothing. I'll call you when the guys are finished getting ready," Tyler closed the door and left Alice in her thoughts. The tall gang member ran down the stairs to his friends. Terroriser, Lui, and Delirious were still upstairs getting ready. "You should see Alice."
Nogla gave him a questioning look, taking a sip of his apple juice. "Why exactly?"
Tyler sat down on the couch with a smile, sending everyone else into a fit of curiosity. "Go see for yourself."
In the end, David went to go see what Tyler was making a fuss about and told the others he'd take a picture. He walked into Alice's room to find out she wasn't there.
"Alice?" Nogla took another sip of his drink and waited for answer. He heard a knock from the bathroom door. "What are you doing?"
He heard her on the other side of the door. "I'm redoing my makeup."
"How about you do me instead?" The tall Irishman felt very pleased with himself by hitting on Alice and took another long sip of his drink, opening the bathroom door.
As he looked at Alice, leaning over the bathroom counter doing her makeup, he accidentally snorted and choked on his tea. He began to cough and spit the tea out, most of it going down his chin and onto his clothes.
Alice couldn't hold in her laughter seeing Nogla flustered and blushing like crazy. She grabbed a hand towel off the counter and wiped his chin. "Take it," she said, handing him the small towel.
He grabbed it and muttered something, quickly leaving the room. David ran down the stairs, embarrassed. His friends laughing at him, seeing that he had came back with his tea all over his clothes.
"How'd it go?" Craig asked, laughing his ass off.
"Fuck off, wanker." David said. "She was in the restroom and before I saw her, I drank my tea and I choked."
Brock raised his eyebrow. "Did she really look that good that you started choking?"
Tyler and Nogla nodded simultaneously as the other three boys came downstairs.
"Damn, Delirious," Craig shouted, seeing his friend. "Trying to impress someone?"
"Shut up," Jonathan flipped him off, but Craig wasn't wrong. He was wearing a white button up shirt, a black best over that, and some gray dress pants to impress Alice. (A/N: Delirious' outfit is on the side).
Alice walked down the stairs a minute after the three, all heads turned her way.
"Let's get this fucking party started!" Terroriser screamed, everyone excited for the night ahead of them.
