Kissing the Concrete

"Hey Feeney!" Jake yelled at me.

Oh great. So we are not on good terms then.

"What have you done to Andy?" He semi-slurred. I guessed he had had a few drinks at that point.

"Yeah." Christian filled in, obviously very drunk. "What have you done to make him go so soft, huh?"

"Nothing! Could you please leave me alone? I have no reason to wanna talk to you!"

"Whoah, what have I done?" Christian said. "Oh right. I used to make fun of you. Hehe." He was stumbling around, his eyes not being able to focus. "I'm...I'm sorry..."

"It's fine" I said in response. He was too drunk to say anything of worth.

"It's all your fault. Well...maybe not fault but...it's all because of you! He just went...soft..." Jake said.

"Yeah, did you blow him or something?" Ashley said, laughing. I started to get disturbed but I decided not to start crying.

"Hey, hey, whoah, whoah. That's not cool." Jake said.

"Yeah man, cool down. I like the new Andy." Christian said.

"I never understood why he hated on Iris so much? She's a decent human being, right?" Jake said in response.

"Well I always thought she was a manipulative bitch, but look at her! She's a fine-ass woman!"

I started getting uncomfortable by Christians comment.

"Speaking of which, we should do something sometime..." Ashley said as he started groping my hips. I wasn't entirely pleased by the move.

"I'm sorry, I gotta go..."

"Please stay here with me, we could have fun..." He pulled me tighter towards me.

"Hey! She said she wanted to leave!" I looked up to see Andy.

"Since when did you become so boring?"

"Since the day I decided I don't want you groping my friends."

Ashley let go of me and I grabed my now empty cup to fill it with some more ginger ale. As i was pouring the liquid, I heard Andy's voice whispering in my ear.

"Hey Iris, wanna go some place more quiet?"

"Yeah, sure."

I walked through the sea of people that was Jenna and Jeremy's livingroom. In the middle of it, I noticed Jenna making out with Nix. I guess her goal was accomplished.

Andy and I went downstairs and sat down in an empty room. There was no furniture in the room, just a bunch of bookshelves. We sat down on the floor.

"Ugh, I hate this type of music" I exclaimed. He nodded as in agreement.

"Do you have a phone we could use to play something else?"

"Yeah." I brought out my songlist, pressed play on a misfits song.

"You like the misfits? I never knew that!"

"Yeah. I feel like the aggressiveness is the one thing that helps me cope with reality."

I felt his arm wrap around my waist and pull me close to him.

"Have you thought about forgiving me yet?" He asked out of the blue.

"Kinda. Only a little bit. I mean, you hurt me for a long-ass time. But it's kinda hard to deny that you have been really nice to me the past few days."

"We're friends?"

"Yeah. Friends."

And then something unexpected happened. He kissed me.

Notes

Oooh...lots of stuff going on here!

Now it's late at night and I need to go to sleep, yet I still wanna keep writing.

I'm quite satisfied with this chapter actually. It is sweet.

The cliffhanger is not gonna be a cliffhanger for very long. I'll probably update first thing tomorrow.

Let me know what you think, and I wanna say once again how thankful I am for my subscribers! Stay tuned for more!
