Justin lived about 20 minutes across town which gave me time to finally completely calm down and get ready. When we arrived his driveway was already packed with the usual cars so we took one of the last available slots on the street across from his house.
"Woah hold up Justin lives here?" Josh asked as he slammed the car door.
"Yea, why?" Lance replied.
"Ashley lives right there." he said pointing to the house to the left of Justin's.
"Awe, well if it wasn't so late I'd let you go over and see your little girlfriend but no can do." I said as we finally reached the walk way. Someone must have heard us coming because by the time we reached the door Justin was already waiting at the door.
"Hey Lance, Jen, weren't expecting you tonight, I thought you 2 were just gonna spend some time together." Justin said.
"Well we'll be spending the rest of tonight together but my parents' are the biggest assholes to roam this planet so we had to get out of there. Oh and we brought Josh along too hope you dont mind." I said as we stepped inside his house.
"No, as a matter of fact I invited Ashley over and she's in there with Tiffany and everyone else." Josh smiled at me.
"I've still got my eye on you boy." I joked and pushed him into the room where he quickly made himself at home on a couch next to Ashley.
"Hey." Tiffany shouted from across the room. I made my way over there and sat on the couch.
" I didn't think you were coming over. What happened to the romantic evening together?" She asked.
"I was talking to my parents about missing home and maybe transferring to a school back in Orlando like UCF or something but they were telling me I had to go back to AUP. Then I said how hard it was for Lance and I's relationship and they were telling me I don't need to be tied down right now. They just don't want me to be happy. It's all 'opportunity' and 'academics' I just want to be normal again. So it started a big fight and Lance and Josh supported me and we had to get out."
"They'll lighten up. But right now you've got 3 months and we're gonna make the best of it."
"Yea. I'm gonna." I smiled.
"Hey Justin." Tiffany shouted across the room.
"Yea?" He smiled.
"Hit the music. These people wanna dance."
"Alright."
The music started and everyone got up and was dancing around. I had to push my way through so many people just to get to Lance across the room.
"You wanna dance?" He asked.
"Might as well." I replied as we danced to whatever came on. Eventually a slow song came on and I took advantage of holding him close to me and not letting him go.
Every endless night has a dawning day
Every darkest sky has a shining ray
And it shines on you baby can't you see
You're the only one who can shine for me
It's a private emotion that fills you tonight
And the silence falls between us
And the shadows steal the light
And wherever you may find it
Wherever it may lead
Let your private emotion come to me
Come to me
When your soul is tired and your heart is weak
Do you think of love as i one way street
Well it runs both ways,open up your eyes
Can't you see me here,how can you deny
Every endless night has a dawning day
Every darkest sky has a shining ray
It takes a lot to laugh as your tears go by
But you can find me here till your tears run dry
It's a private emotion that fills you tonight
And the silence falls between us
And the shadows steal the light
And wherever you may find it
Wherever it may lead
Let your private emotion come to me
Come to me
~ "Private Emotion." Ricky Martin
Lance and I walked out on the front porch for a breather. It had gotten pretty stuffy inside so the cool summer breeze felt so relaxing blowing through my hair.
"So when do you wanna go home?" He asked.
"Never"
"All right well let's get out of here then at least. The three of us can just go to my house and hang out for awhile then we'll take your brother home and if you don't feel like staying just come stay with me for awhile."
"That's really sweet but I don't wanna bother you."
"Bother me? Did you forget who you're talking to? I haven't seen you in a year which is way too long. You know what you are going to stay with me for about a week. Your mom already suggested we have our own little vacation together this will be it."
"See look my parents just don't want me around that's the whole problem. But you know what? For once I agree with my mother."
"Good. So let's get your brother, go to my house for an hour or so to give him some time. Then take him back and you can grab some stuff and you can come back with me for about a week."
"Alright." I nodded with a smile. "Let me go find my brother."
"I know where he is I'll go get him. You just go tell the others we're leaving."
I went and told the guys and their girlfriends and the others good night and briefly mentioned my plans and if they needed me to call Lance. I then went to the front porch where Josh and Lance were waiting.
"Alright" I said and we all got in my car and drove a few blocks.
"Where are we going now?" Josh asked.
"You could use another hour away from home right?" Lance asked.
"Definitely." Josh replied.
"OK well we're gonna go to my house for about an hour then we'll drop you home."
"What do you mean dropping me home?"
"I'm gonna stay at his house for about a week. Mom suggested Lance and I have a 'vacation' so this is it."
"Oh ok, that's cool I guess."
Five minutes later we pulled into the driveway of Lance's house.
"So you guys wanna go swimming for awhile?" Lance suggested.
"Sure sounds like an idea." I agreed.
"I better not, you have no idea how much beer I had I don't wanna be drowning."
"You make sure you sober up before you see mom tomorrow she'll sniff you out and you'll be grounded for awhile." I said giving my sisterly advice. "Wait I can't go swimming. My suit is at my house."
"Go skinny dipping I don't think anyone will care." Josh joked.
"HA HA."
"Actually I still have your suit here from last summer." Lance reminded me and ran upstairs to get it. He brought down the suit and handed it to me. I looked at it and remarked.
"Wow. Ok um I'll go change and meet you in the living room." I said as I took the suit and went into the bathroom. Lance let my bro set up the video games and go nuts, which he did. Lance had already gotten his trunks on when he got my suit so he played a quick game with Josh.
