Chapter 11
"Can we get clean again? I want to know...The God of Wine comes crashing through the headlights of a car that took you farther than you thought you'd ever want to go...She takes a drink and then she waits. The alcohol it permeates. And soon the cells give way and cancels out the day."~Third Eye Blind, "God Of Wine"
When Zac had reached the area where Isaac and Jacinda were sitting, he jumped out of the crowd's hands and sat down between them.
"Hey guys, how's it going?" Zac said an slurred speech.
"Zac, you're drunk," said Isaac.
"No I'm not you stiil boy!" Zac said and slapped Isaac on the shoulder.
"Zac, how did this happen?"
"I just got a few beers from the guys. No big deal."
"Who are 'the guys?'"
"Well, there's Dustin, and Billy, and James, and Cameron, and Jon, and Pete, and Lisa, and..."
"Zac, Lisa isn't a guy's name."
"Oh," said Zac, confused. "Then I guess there were some girls too."
"Whatever, Zac."
A girl walked up to Zac. "Hey, that dance you did on the table earlier was awesome!"
"Thanks, Cindy!" Zac said, and Cindy walked back into the crowd.
"Do you want to tell me about this little table dance?" asked Isaac.
"I got up on a table and danced. The people seemed to be enjoying it, so I got into it."
"How much did you get into it? Wait, I don't think I wanna know this. C'mon, Zac, we're finding your brother and getting out of here before you do anything else stupid," said Isaac.
"But, Ike, Tay's right here," Zac said and pointed to Jacinda.
"No, Zac, that's my friend Jacinda," said Isaac. He turned to Jacinda. "What's your number? Can I call you sometime?"
"I'll give it to you later. I'm coming with you," Jacinda said and stood up.
"Thanks," said Isaac. "There's Tay."
Isaac walked over to where Taylor was dancing with a girl. "Tay, c'mon, we're going."
"Why? I'm having fun," said Taylor.
"I guess you're the only person here who doesn't know about out brother's little 'preformance' on the table."
"Huh?"
"Zac got drunk and was dancing on the table and crowd surfing and who knows what else."
"Oh," Taylor said and turned to the girl he was dancing with. "Alora, I'll call you sometime. Family emergency. Gotta go.
Taylor and Isaac joined Zac and Jacinda and helped Zac to the door. Just as they were about to leave, they saw Justin with the girl he had been dancing with. Justin took one look at Zac and pulled the girl out the door behind Isaac, Zac, Taylor, and Jacinda. The girl willingly followed with a concerned look on her face. When they got outside Justin introduced her and said her name was Nicki.
"Ike, I'm gonna be sick," said Zac.
"To the bushes. I'll hold your hair back," Isaac said and helped Zac walk to the bushes. He barely made it and within seconds there was a pile of vomit in the bushes.
"You done?" Isaac asked and Zac nodded. "Think you can walk home?"
"If you help," said Zac.
"Maybe we should call a cab."
"Nah, I'd probably spew in it."
"Okay then. Let's start walking," said Isaac. The six of them walked back to Isaac and Justin's dorm room. Zac threw up several times along the way, and the moment they got into the room he ran to the bathroom.
"How many drinks do you think he had?" asked Justin.
"I dunno. Maybe six or seven depending on how hard they were," said Jacinda.
Zac emerged from the bathroom.
"Zac, exactly how many drinks did you have tonight?" asked Isaac.
"Um, I lost count around eight," Zac said embarrased.
"More than eight drinks in a bladder that's never had a drop of alcohol in it? Real smart, Zac," said Isaac.
"Actually, my bladder has had..." started Zac.
"Zac, I really don't wanna hear it right now."
"I'm sorry Ike."
"You do know that you're gonna have to tell Mom and Dad about this, right?"
"I'm probably still gonna be hungover by the time I get home. I think they're gonna realize then."
"Zac, you don't go home for another week."
"That's how horrible I feel right now."
"Zac, I think it's time for you to go to bed. Get your pajamas on while I get you a pot."
"What do I need a pot for?"
"To keep by your bed to throw up in. Unless you wanna be sleeping in a pool of sick."
"Okay, Ike."
Zac turned to walk to him room.
"Zac, wait a minute," said Isaac.
"What?"
"Have you learned your lesson?"
"Man, Ike, you're not my mother!"
"Don't you get an attitude with me young man!"
