I sighed nervously, cringing at the pounding in my head due to the loud volume of music blasting into my eardrums. Biting my lip, I kept my gaze down in the red solo cup tucked into my right hand while I traced the top with my left pointer finger. I watched the clear content wave from the slight shaking caused by my hands and slowly eased back into the nearest corner.

"Hey."

I jumped, looking up in shock only for my eyes to widen more when they landed on the owner of the voice. I closed my open mouth, heat rushing to my cheeks when I met light brown eyes. I bit my cheek, awkwardy waving back knowing my voice wouldn't work. He chuckled, the sound making my stomach flip with nerves and I found myself drawn to the silver hoops through his bottom lip.

"Why're you in a corner, dude?" He slurred slightly, leaning down more to my level.

I swallowed thickly, trying not to gag at the smell coming off of his breath. Shrugging shyly, I looked away from his lips and down his white t-shirt covered chest. My gaze immediately trailed over his toned arms, warmth filling my gut at the dark ink coating both of his arms before my eyes fell to his ripped jeans.

"Backed into a corner anda full cup?" He continued making my heart rate quicken at the small distance between us.

I blushed, backing further into the wall when his thumb nudged my jaw up. I gulped, watching the corner of his eyes crinkle when he laughed. Taking a step back from me, he pulled the cup from my hand and brought it to his own lips.

"Shit." He whistled, swallowing hard. "Straight up? You don't play around."

I cringed at the slight grimace he made, making me wonder what my drink even tasted like. Leave it to Parker to give me something totally strong and disgusting for my first time drinking. I shook my head, crossing my arms over myself self-consciously while I shyly looked back up at him.

"My friend poured it." I revealed, biting my lip at the slight shake in my voice. "I don't really. I'm not a drinker."

"Let me make you something." He suggested, sending me a wink. "I promise you'll dig it."

"Why do you care?" I blurted, feeling my face flush more at the amused expression taking over his face. "I mean, why do you want to make me a drink? I'll probably still hang out in this corner until my friends are ready to leave..."

"Parties are for getting fucked up." He shouted, wrapping his long fingers around my skinny forearm as he pulled me through the crowded house.

I shot up, stumbling out of my bed and into the bathroom next to my closet. Flicking the light on, I ignored the burning of my eyes and dropped to my knees. Forcing the seat up, I nearly plunged my face into the toilet just in time for everything in my stomach to come back up. I squeezed my eyes shut tightly, trying my best to block out the smell as I retched harshly.

"Ugh." I panted miserably, wiping my mouth with some toilet paper and tossing it in as I flushed the mess down.

Coughing, I swallowed thickly and slowly stood back to my feet. Breathing heavily, I pressed my hands into the cold white marble of my bathroom counter and felt tears fill the corners of my eyes. I heaved a sigh, staring straight back into my reflection as I blindly grabbed for my toothbrush. Sniffling, I attempted to blink the tears away and busied myself with squirting some mint flavored toothpaste on to my red toothbrush. I wiped at my eyes with my palms before hurriedly scrubbing the disgusting aftertaste out of my mouth the best I could.

Switching the faucet on, I rinsed the toothbrush off before I grabbed the small blue cup from beside the sink. After filling it up, I turned the water off and sucked in a big gulp. Once I shook it around a bit, I spit and wiped my mouth over my forearm with a grimace. Clearing my throat, I set the cup back down and felt my gaze subconsciously search the small counter top. I froze, the small white and purple stick coming into my line of vision. I squinted, watching the dark pink lines blur into large specs when water overflowed my eyelids.

"What the hell am I going to do?"

Notes

This is the shortest thing I've ever written, but I thought it would make more sense to start off this way with where I want to go with this story. Ah! I'm so excited and I hope it goes as well as I'm thinking!

I really need to stop starting new stories, but this particular plan wouldn't fit with any of my other ones so I had to dedicate a whole new story to it and I'm pretty excited about it and if you like sensitive Jack and asshole Alex then you may become a fan of this. :D
