All The Wounds That Are Ever Gonna Scar Me
I Can Feel the Pressure
Autumn's POV
After paying for the comics, we went back to the Ways' house to watch movies. As we drove, Gerard called Frank, Ray, and Andy, telling them to come over, too.
They all showed up about ten minutes after Gerard, Mikey, and I had gotten there. Mikey and I were playing Tomb Raider while Gerard ordered the pizza and picked the movie lineup.
Andy and Frank were the first to show, then Ray. We all together, either on the couch or the floor, taking turns playing Tekken. As it turns out, Ray was insanely good at that game. He kicked everyone's asses at it, and no one was brave enough to challenge him to a rematch.
"Do you keep all your talent in your 'fro?" Frank asked, making everyone laugh uncontrollably.
"Shut up! Afros were really popular in the seventies!!!" Ray argued, biting back his own laughter.
It was about 6:30 when the pizza came. We had already started on our first movie, Beetlejuice, when Gerard placed three steaming cardboard boxes on the coffee table in front of us.
We kinda pigged out and when we were finished, we all felt stuffed and full. All except for Andy.
"Hey guys! We should go clubbing, it's so fun." Andy suggested excitedly while sipping his Pepsi.
"Ok." Everyone agreed, getting up and putting on their hoodies. Suddenly I felt scared. I'd never even touched alcohol in my entire life, and I was straightedge. I pulled my brother aside to discuss my issue.
"Ray, I know everyone's gonna be drinking and stuff, but I'm straightedge and I've never even touched alcohol before, even at church." I confessed shakily.
"It's ok. You don't have to if you don't want to, ok?"
I nodded, looking him in the eyes. I still felt uncomfortable about it...
"Hey guys, listen up! Autumn's straightedge, so if she gets drunk, whoever is responsible will have their ass kicked by me. Got it?" Ray threatened.
Everyone nodded, walking out to Andy's Batmobile. I crawled into the back seat next to Mikey and held his hand. He smiled down at me and kissed me on the cheek, making me smile, too.
"Ok, guys, you're gonna like this one." Andy declared, piling into the parking lot twenty minutes later. We got out and made our way inside. It was dark and hot inside, and the dance floor was already completely crowded.
"C'mon guys, lets go get drinks!" Frank shouted over the loud heavy metal music that they were playing. Ok, so maybe this place was pretty cool...
They all got several shots of hell-knows-what each, and I just stood there, watching them all get drunk. Suddenly I felt extremely uncomfortable and nervous, especially with all the drunk people smoking pot around me. A guy that looked to be in his mid-twenties was drunkenly flirting with me, and apparently that really pissed Mikey off.
"Hey fucker, she's mine. You're not getting laid tonight." Mikey said. Ya know, he might've actually seemed threatening if he weren't so drunk. He pulled me out to the dance floor just as they started playing 'Misery Business' by Paramore.
"And God it just feels so good!!!" Mikey drunkenly yelled the words, trying to grind his hips into mine.
"No, Mikey, not while you're drunk." I said, trying to push him off me a little. It really did feel good, but I didn't want him doing that kinda thing while he was drunk. He frowned.
"But babe, I thought you loved me!" He whined, taking another swig of his beer.
"I do love you! It's just... I can't do this when you're drunk, ok? Lets just drop it."
"Nope!" He smiled, grinding into me again. I moaned a little, then tried to push him off.
He frowned. "Fine! I'll just go fuck that wall over there then!" He slurred angrily, walking off to the bar. I sighed, looking down at my shoes. About twenty minutes later, Mikey made another appearance at my side, completely shitfaced.
"Hey, you look like my girlfriend! She's purdy, just like you!" Mikey slurred, leaning on my shoulder. I giggled nervously.
"Mikey, it's me, Autumn!" I said, still laughing.
"That's funny. My girlfriend's name is Autumn! You two have a lot in common." He said honestly, making me laugh again.
"I'm Autumn! I'm your girlfriend!"I yelled over the loud music.
"Oh, well if you say so!" He smiled happily, kissing me on the nose. I smiled back, trying not to laugh at him.
We kept dancing for another hour or so before I thought that we should be getting home. I rounded up the rest of the guys, tugging them to the car with me. I got into the front seat and drove to the apartment Ray and I share.
Once we got there, I had to literally drag everyone up the stairs and through the door. Once inside, I put on Batman: Year One, hoping that would calm everyone down. Soon everyone passed, both on the couch and on the floor. I looked at the clock- only ten o'clock?! Wow, I thought it would one am or something. So I turned on the Xbox, inserting Tomb Raider, my favorite game of all time.
I played for about an hour before falling asleep against Mikey's chest.
