Chapter 5

I'm almost drunk by the time Player Boy arrives, but still sober enough to be able to think properly.
"Your late!" I say matter-of-factly.
He shakes his head at me.
'I'm perfectly on time. I meant to get here at this moment and I did."
"Lies." I disagree but let him in.
I go back to get another beer before finding some random guy to flirt with.
I continue to get drunk and fearless, but stop when I hit twelve drinks.
I hear my jam come on and start dancing.
All too soon Four comes up and starts talking to me and I basically ignore him saying 'mmhmm' and laughing from time to time.
I go and grab another beer even though I've reached my limit, if I have to talk to Player Boy, I'll need it.
He just keeps talking and talking and I keep getting more beer until I can barely stand up straight. Chris comes over and saves me. I walk with her and we go to get some fresh air and sober up a little. We open the door and see Bud and Tori.
"What's all this?" Tori asks.
"Um.. A party?" I say.
"Uh huh. Why?"
"I uh sort of made a bet I could have a better party than Three over there."
"Four." Christina whispers.
"I mean Four, not Three." I say.
Tori walks passed and Bud follows .
"Everyone out! Party's over!" Tori yells. "Get out of my house!"
Everyone scurries out as fast as possible.
I'll deal with you in the morning, now go to bed, and try to focus on the case. "  She looks at me. "And not on proving people wrong and making bets."
We nod and go upstairs. I change into my pajamas and get into bed. I know that I'm going to have a hangover, but the extra beer did the trick.
I fall into a restless sleep, plagued by the death of my parents, probably because of the extra drinks.
I wake up sweating with their lifeless bodies still fresh in my mind.
I take an Advil to help with the pounding migraine before taking a shower.
I get dressed and sneak out of the house since its still early. I head to the park and go for a jog until I feel warmed up enough. I challenge myself, making up obstacle courses using my surroundings.
I hear footsteps and freeze. Alert, I scan the forest and see a small silhouette walking towards me. I climb the  tree closest to me and pull out my knife.. Watching as the shape gets larger I tense, ready to attack. When the figure is directly beneath me I see its Four.
I jump on him anyways.
