Josh p.o.v.
Let me catch you up to speed. Lauren and I failed to dissect a frog in our Chem class, something had happened to Laur and we both ended up getting detention. However, we got the chance to make up the assignment from earlier in detention, got a solid A then we got invited to the most popular party of the beginning of the school year by the hottest chick of the school and here we are: in her living room.
Lauren was on the pool table flaunting her body around with nothing on, her clothes thrown to the side. Caroline now walked up from the eerie corners of the room with a guy I barely even recognized staring in shock. I realized my little sister wasn't going to even save her own best friend's ass from this catastrophe. I guess she saw nothing wrong in it because looking around the room everyone was cheering her on, screaming with excitement. Crystal was sort of annoyed with her arms crossed. I couldn't watch her humiliate herself any longer. I had to do something.
I quickly went up to the pool table grabbing her clothes, she noticed me "Heyyyyy Jofhsh" her words slur "Havfgijg fuun" I rolled my eyes and scooped her over my shoulder. She started kicking and yelling "JOSH PUT ME DOWN!!!!!" she screamed. The heckling from the boys started to drain out and the room was now filled with boos' "COME ON JOSH" a guy yelled
"PARTY IS OVER" I smirked looking around the room, Lauren's feet were jabbing into the side of my legs and waist. My first thought was to head over to my sister. "Stay safe" I whispered in her ear "I'm going to drive her home. I'll be back". She nodded "If you need me call me, if anything happens to you, call me". She nodded. "Caroline I'm serious" Lauren groaned. "Alright" she said annoyingly. I made one more look at the guy she was with before walking away from them both. "That's your brother?" I heard him ask. "Yeah" was her response "He's annoying". I chuckled heading upstairs to a abandoned room closing the door. I sat her on the bed. She looked at me with mascara rolling down her face "My god Laur" I said running my hands through my hair. She stayed silent. "Here" I set her clothes on her lap "Put them on"
Instead of putting them on she just stared at me. I sighed. "Fine if you're not going to put these on" I took of my shirt "Take this". She collected it and did as told to my surprise, pure laziness I assumed.
"Wow" I laughed "You don't want to put on your clothes but can put on mine" I chuckled "Was this to get me shirtless Laur?" She blinked.
Shit she probably has no clue what I'm talking about. Suddenly the expression on her face change, she looked a bit sick "Where's the bathroom" she moaned. "What makes you think I know the house?" She looked at me angrily. "Josh!"
"It's down the hall, I'm coming with you" she strutted off. "Are you serious!"
"Hey you're the one that got into this mess"
A door was slammed in my face. The sound of her puking her guts out made me quiver, first time drinking is never pleasant. However, some people can handle it and don't hurl, Lauren... well...
"Do you need any help?"
She yelled back "SHUT THE FUCK UP"
I looked at the party downstairs. The pool table had no one around it now, everyone was now at the couch engulfed in a game of what looked like 'Spin the bottle'. I'm so glad I wasn't apart of that or was I? "Lauren what the hell" I said hitting my fist on the door seeing a guy I approach.
"It's occupied man"
He grunted. The guy also looked like he was out to puke but then realized he wanted to use it for other reasons. I realized he too was drunk and instead of waiting decided to let it out all over the floor. I moved to the side. He looked at me smiling. "Your fly is down man". He zipped his pants up and slapped me on the shoulder "Thanks" he said grinning.
The door was now opened and Lauren appeared, her head bent. "What took you so long geez" she took my hand in hers and looked at the liquid on the floor in disgust. "Don't ask" I told her making sure we avoided stepping in it and down the stairs. "Do you have everything?" She nodded. I looked for my sister making sure she was safe and headed out.
We were now in the car, her clothes thrown in the back. I had given Lauren a bottle of water to sober up a bit. She did.
"What were you thinking?" I kept my eyes on the road. "Was it popularity? Was it to get Crystal's attention?"
"Caroline told me to let loose, so I did"
"By taking your clothes off in front of the whole school" I looked at her "That makes so much sense"
"Why do you even care?" she asked me.
"Why do I care?" I retorted "You're like my sister, I have every intention to keep you safe and out of harm and from embarrassing yourself" I glanced at her, her eyes averted to the scenery before us, her head turned looking out of the window. I realized I wasn't going to get anywhere with this, the conversation was dropped and the rest of the drive was silent.
I parked outside of her home and brought her in and to her room. She flopped on the bed. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep. I pulled the covers up and sighed.
I knew deep down I didn't save her from that mess because I looked at her as though she was just a sister but more
