I was just about to leave when I heard the phone ring. It was probably Jae checking up on me. I was supposed to be over there an hour ago, but I was too damn paranoid about smelling or something that I took another shower, changed clothes about 4 or 5 times and ran out to CVS to buy another stick of deodorant in fear of my current one going bad. But now I was finally ready, all clean and everything. The phone rang again. I decided to screen the call just in case it was something or somebody important.
"Ike, it's Zac. Pick up the damn phone right fucking now."
I ran to the phone. "Zac, hey, what's wrong?"
"You... you have to come get us. We're at a party. We're at Liza's."
"No fucking way. I'm going to Jae's." Zac thinks I'm his personal slave or something. I give in too much. Well, not this time. I was sticking to my decision this time. Zac was going to learn that I'm not going to run and get his little ass every time there's a problem.
"I'll do anything. Anything, I swear! Please, Laidie is fucked up as hell and she keeps saying she's gonna kill herself or something, Taylor's a horny bastard and he's all up on her, and... just please come!"
"It's a party, what did you expect?" I asked in a rhetorical way but I knew Zac was going to answer it anyway.
"I'm scared, Ike! Maybe it's the weed talking but I'm fucking scared as hell so get your ass here or I'll...."
"You're so damn pathetic. And I thought you didn't do that shit anymore?"
"Just get here! We'll be waiting outside."
I wanted to kick myself for my stupidity. Sometimes I think that all Zac thinks of me is some stupid ignorant older brother unaware of his surroundings and everything else. He was taking advantage of me and I let him, time after time. I swore to myself this was going to be the last time I'd come to Zac's rescue.
I called Jae and explained the situation, she was understanding and I told her I'd get there as soon as I could. She said she wasn't ready yet anyway, she's truly worse than I am!
There was no place within a half mile radius to park to pick up my lame brothers and his friends. I passed by the house a few times but all I saw were a few random bodies passed out by the side door and 3 significantly younger people smoking out of a soda bottle on the front lawn. Real smart idea, that way if the cops swing by on a nightly stroll they'll be sure to be the first ones caught. People's stupidity amazes me sometimes.
Finally, on my absolute last run by the house I saw Zac peering through the window and Zhaina crouched down on the porch. I honked a few times to make sure they saw me. Zhaina came running towards the car and I noticed Zac was still looking at me through the window.
"Hey Zhaina, what's going on? What's Zac doing?"
"He's real whacked out about this whole Laidie-Taylor thing. He's in there scared to come out because he thinks you're going to give him a drug test." Zhaina explained, sounding a bit worried herself.
"So am I picking you guys up or not? Tell me now because this party's going to end pretty soon and I don't want to be here when it happens." I said, remembering back to the cops I saw in the parking lot of 711 down the street. I glanced at my watch. 10:49. That was nearly a half hour ago.
"Uhh, Lemme... go see." She said between a few bouts of laughter. She was obviously blown. I wasn't sure if I could handle four non-sober adolescents in my car or anywhere near me for that matter.
I waited a few minutes and Zac, Laidie and Zhaina came running out of the house. Laidie's arm was around Zhaina and Zhaina kept laughing and stopping and laughing some more. This ride was going to be hell, I could already tell.
The 3 piled in the back of my car. I looked around. No Taylor. "Shit guys, where is Taylor?"
"Ha! I gave Taylor head in front of all those people." Laidie giggled. "Was that bad of me?" The rest of them just sat there looking at me.
"Where the hell is he? I'm leaving if you don't tell me in 5 seconds." I said, realizing I sounded like my Mom when I was little and did something bad.
"Chill, Ike-meista. Taylor is just beyond the rainbow. You shall find him there." Zac said in one of those annoying tones that made me just want to slap him. He was obviously trying to be funny but it just wasn't working out. I wanted to know where the hell Taylor was and I wanted to get the hell out of there. Jae was going to hate me forever and to top it off I had 3 annoying people in my car and another one who isn't even here.
When I received no answers from anyone, I decided Taylor would most likely find another ride home. I wasn't going to wait for him anymore. I just wanted to get to Jae's and explain everything to her.
"Hey, get some music on in this shit!" Laidie yelled, squirming around in the back seat. "Hey, guys... I love you. I really do. Have I ever told you that?" She giggled and whined a little. Laidie always gets like this when she's drunk. She will tell anyone and everyone that she loves them. I remember one night she came to our door piss drunk and was practically all over me, confessing her love to me. If Jae hadn't of been in the other room, I probably would have taken the advantage of the opportunity. Hey, don't get me wrong, I love Jae and all, but she doesn't have an ass like two round rotisserie hams like Laidie does.
"I'm not putting on any music, all right?!" I said in sort of a harsh tone that I think offended Laidie in one way or another. I looked back, noticing Zhaina leaning against the window sleeping and Zac violently tapping on the back of the passenger seat. I felt like I was in hell. I started to drive away slowly figuring that Taylor wasn't coming.
"ISAAC! WAIT!!! WAIT FOR YOUR LITTLE BROTHER!!!" Taylor screamed at the top of his lungs. He was stumbling all over himself and could barely get the words pronounced properly. He was more fucked up then I have ever seen him before. It sure was a good thing that our parents were out of town. I stopped the car and allowed Taylor to catch up and get inside.
"Hey Ikieee! Weren't you supposed to have a date with Jae tonight or something? Ohh wanna hear a funny story? Laidie gave me head tonight!!! First we stripped in front of everyone, then she got on her knees and sucked me dry!" Taylor kept on hitting his leg and bursting out in short fits of laughter. He also wasn't letting me get a fucking word in. Taylor had just opened his mouth to speak again when he was interrupted by the ever giggling and extremely obnoxious, Laidie.
"I was sooooo damn good too! Just ask him Ike, just do it! He will tell you I give the best head around! I sucked him hard and long and good and dry and all that shit. It was mmmbop'ing fun wasn't it Taylor? Wasn't it? His flower sure did grow and I do know, mmmmmmbop!" She had to stop because she could no longer control the giggles.
"Shut up" I desperately demanded.
"Yeah, both of you just shut the fuck up right now." Zac stated through a shaky voice. He was softly sobbing now, but I had no time to deal with that. I just needed to get them home safe and sound and then go get Jae.
"Okay, Okay! Damn Zac, I'm sorry that you just don't appreciate me for my one true talent. And puh-lease stop making that disgusting noise!" Laidie obviously was unaware that Zac was honestly upset.
"All of you are not allowed to make a peep until we get home. If you do I am pulling over and you can walk your ass home. I have to get to Jae's, I'm already late!" I hated sounding so much like a parent, but they were really getting on my nerves.
"PEEP!" Taylor yelled and then burst into another fit of laughter at his own immature humor. He was shortly joined by Laidie's drunken giggles, but Zac's sobbing remained annoyingly noticeable.
By the time I got them all home I was on the verge of killing myself. Their stupid ass shit pushed me to the point of insanity. I let them in the house and left as quickly as I possibly could. I hoped they would all be asleep by the time I got home.
