Live While We're Young
A Party Song
I decided I would tell Charlotte about the party a few hours before so that she could at least look semi-decent. Plus I didn’t want to be killed today just because I didn’t tell my roommate that we were about to go party with her lover boy!
“Char, can I talk to you?”
“Yeah, sure, what’s up?”
“So this guy named Jack Barakat may or may not have invited us to a party at his hotel in 3 hours. And I may or may not have told him we’d go…”
“FINLEE RAYNE!!!! ARE YOU FUCKIN KIDDING ME?!?!?! WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR??? I CAN’T LOOK LIKE A SLOB…. Oh my God why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
That went better than I thought it would have gone. After Charlotte’s little fit she ran to her room and began throwing all of her clothes everywhere looking for a suitable outfit for the party. She decided on a one shoulder dress with grey/silver accents. She made sure she looked as perfect as possible that is for sure.
As I begin to get ready Jack texts me with more details:
To: Finster
From: Jack-Jack
Hey gorgeous sidekick! Party is at the Marriot Hotel on 6th street room 3234. Be here with your beautiful faces ready at 8 pm. And you better be ready to rage!!! Look good enough to get pictures put online of yourself (I am currently obsessed with Instagram). And so the sidekicking begins for good ol’ me. Considering the hotel is about 15 minutes away and I had to calm Charlotte down way before we leave I now have only about an hour to get cute. Not like I am going to impress anyone tonight so I decide on a cute off the shoulder sweater, boots, and skinny jeans. It is definitely a plain outfit compared to my roommate’s but she has someone to fuck (hopefully soon so I don’t have to hear about it from both of them) and I don’t.
“Charlotte let’s go! We’re going to be late!”
“I’m coming. It is going to take some time in these shoes.” Of course she chooses to wear her highest heels, which means I may have to carry her home tonight.
When she made it back to the foyer we grabbed the keys to my Honda Civic and headed for 6th Street. I decided to get us in the partying mood we would listen to some old boy bands like O*TOWN and N’SYNC. You can’t go wrong with those bands getting you pumped up.
Zack's POV
Ever since I found out that Jack has been texting Finlee the guys have been acting really weird. It’s as if they are hiding something from me. Oh well I guess they can go do stupid shit together and I will just work out; I need to relax anyway. I think the first thing I will do is check out the blogs I follow.
The last blog I always read is Finlee’s just in case there is something on there worth dreaming about. As I come across the contents of her blog I read that she is going to a party… with my band mates! What the hell! I guess it’s time for the good ol’ Zachary to make an appearance and crash their party. They think they can have these ladies to themselves? I think not. I have to throw them off first, maybe ruffle a few feathers by texting one of them.
I decided that the person I will text is the one who is keeping her from me, Jack. To: Barakat
From: Merrick
Dude! This city is boring. Why don’t we go out and find some fangirls tonight or something. Or we could invite people over to the hotel; we haven’t had a party in a while. That should throw them off a bit.
Next thing I hear from the next room is an “Oh shit guys I think Zack caught on to our secret. He just text me about a party,” from Jack. I would say that it has become war in which I have 1 point and the guys have 0.
Finlee's POV
We got to the party at about 8:15 because of traffic and it was already rowdy. There were mostly bands at the party with only a few ladies hanging all over them. Charlotte spotted Jack right away and basically started to hyperventilate; I on the other hand took in my surroundings one last time before becoming Jack new “hot best friend”. He better love me for this and I better get rewarded :)
“Hey pretty ladies. You ready to rage?” Jack said as he handed us each a beer.
“I…uh…I think so?” Charlotte barely spit out. I have never seen her like this; it’s like she’s in love with the guy.
“What about you my new best friend?”
“Of course, wingman… but I think you may owe me for being your best friend later, just saying” I replied. “Oh and Jack, you’re welcome,” I added with a wink. With that I left the two lovebirds alone and made my way to the peace and quiet that I call the balcony.
Zack's POV
I am contemplating going to the party next door out on the balcony in mine and Rian’s room when I hear the sliding door open to the adjacent room. I look over and I see the one and only Finlee Rayne on the balcony by herself in this cold weather.
“You look a little cold over there,” I managed to belt out. This of course made her jump almost out of her boots.
“Oh wow, hi. You scared the shit out of me. Here I thought I could come out here and clear my head but no Zachary Merrick has to be creeping on me from next door ;)” she wittingly replied with a smile.
Her smile of course makes my knees feel like jello so it is quite hard for me to reply to her. But I am able to say, “Mind if I come join you over there? Looks like we’ve both been ditched tonight.”
“Yeah, sure; I could use the company anyway. Don’t let the boys see you though, they are trying to keep you from me I think.”
With that I jumped over to the other balcony and we chatted for a while. That is until a VERY drunk Alex startled us, “Um guys 1. You are not supposed to be near each other 2. I claimed her first Zack and 3. Flip cup in 5 minutes, you two are on my team.”
I love Alex but he came at the worst time possible! Right when I was getting up the confidence to kiss the girl he comes barging outside!
“Yay, I am a pro at that game! I hope the others are ready to get their asses kicked,” Finlee is such a good sport with the situation. It’s as if she is used to being put into the friends zone and watching her best friends get together.
The rest of the night was pretty uneventful. I am pretty sure both Finlee and I caught Jack and Charlotte making out in the corner of the room. We are got too drunk to remember the night too, which is always a plus. And finally we all fell asleep scattered throughout the room.
Finlee's POV
Well Charlotte got her guy once again. I am definitely happy for her; she deserves a good fuck buddy for once. I’m a little jealous however but I am not going to dwell on her luck and my misfortune in the male department :).
I have to be to work at 11 am tomorrow so hopefully my hangover that I will acquire from all the booze will wear off a bit so I can function there. I am also hoping to wake up in time to write a blog. My subscribers need to know my daily life after all ;).
Until then time to have drunken sleep with an alarm on my phone under my makeshift pillow made from Charlotte and my bags along with our coats.
“Char, can I talk to you?”
“Yeah, sure, what’s up?”
“So this guy named Jack Barakat may or may not have invited us to a party at his hotel in 3 hours. And I may or may not have told him we’d go…”
