Chapter Forty-One

"Have fun." Oz said.
"Goodnight." I said smiling.
Oz said his stomach was bothering him, so he didn't want to go to the party. I wondered if he was actually sick, or if he just didn't want to go because Spencer would be there. I drove to Terrance and Angie's place and as I was walking up the stairs to their apartment, I could hear music blasting. "Ms. Ray would flip a lid if I ever had my music like that." I said to myself. I walked up and opened the door.
"HEY!" Warren shouted. He ran over to me and hugged me. I was only arriving an hour after they said people could come and it seemed like more than half of the people there were already a little on the drunk side. "There's my girl!" Terrance said walking over to me. He gave me a hug too.
"Shots." Warren said grabbing my arm. He pulled me to the kitchen. It was a huge mess already! "Wow you guys don't waste any time." I laughed.
"Of course not. Where the fuck is Oz?" Terrance asked.
"He said he didn't feel good." I said.
"What?" He asked. He looked dissapointed. "Yo, Warren!" he shouted.
"Right next to you, man." Warren said.
We all laughed.
"Come on. We're kidnapping Oz." Terrance told him.
They both laughed and were out the door before I could say anything. I saw Rachel and Carmen sitting on the couch talking, so I walked over to them. "Looks like everyone is trashed already." I said laughing.
"Not us. I think we're the only ones though." Carmen said. "Where is Oz?"
"Home. Terr and Warren just left to go kidnap him. He's gonna be so pissed." I said.
"You should have told them not to." Rachel said.
"They left too fast." I said.
"Maybe you should call him and warn him." Carmen said.
"Nah." I said.
"Then I will." Carmen said getting up. She pulled her phone out of her pocket and stepped outside.
"And that is going to piss him off even more. He's been so moody lately." I said.
"He'll know none of this was your idea." Rachel said.
I smiled.
"He knows you better than that." She said.
I nodded. "I sure hope so. Especially if he really is sick."
I looked up and Carmen was storming in the door. "I'll have you know, he threw up. He really is sick." She said rudly.
"Maybe I should go." I said standing up.
Rachel grabbed my arm. "Stay. Have fun." She said.
I sat back down and Rachel stood up. "I'm calling Terrance." She said. "Neither of them should be driving anyway."
"Smooth move, Lola." Carmen said.
"You've been moody lately too." I said. I smelled tequila on her breath and her eyes were very glossy just like they always looked when she had drank a lot of alcohol. It was obvious she was drunk, so I just ignored her.
"You knew I liked him." She said. She got up and walked down the hall quickly. There was a knock at the door. Some weird looking guy got up and answered the door.
"Spence!" I said excited when I saw him walk in. I gave him a hug.
"Thank god. Someone normal." I said.
He laughed. We walked into the kitchen and we each took a shot of Jager. I grabbed us each a beer and we sat down against the wall behind the kitchen table where a couple guys were playing dominos.
