estrellas~chapter 34

A week passes by, Conrad is still a ghost, and I still haven't talked to Belly.

Being the older one, I decided to try and call her.

It rang, I had some hope but then I heard the words no one wants to hear, Voicemail.

I sigh and rub my head, "I'm sorry Belly, I hate fighting with you, I'm just worried about you," I manage to say.

I felt tension off of my shoulders.

I stay silent, I don't know what to say after that.

"Um, call me back?" I say more as a question.

I click off of the voicemail and I feel anger rise within me.

"Fuck!" I yell as I throw my phone on the ground.

I didn't notice but Rory had just opened the door to our room.

"Um, everything okay Laur?" She says.

"No!" I snapped, I didn't mean to take my frustrations out on her, it just happened, "I'm sorry, I'm just fighting with my sister."

She throws herself on my bed and hugs me. I just stay stiff.

"It'll be fine, families fight all the time," She says.

"This time feels different," I say as I face her, "Everything finally felt correct but now everything is wrong. What should I do?"

"Right now, focus on yourself," Rory begins, "Take a break from taking care of everyone, you should focus on school and your happiness, stop worrying."

"How?" I ask.

"Let's dress up and go somewhere tonight, it's a Friday!" She exclaims.

"I don't know... I thought maybe I was going to watch a movie or something...""A movie?" She yells, "Oh hell nah! We are partying! Let me go on Insta' and see if there are any Frat parties tonight, which I mean there definitely are..."

I stopped listening as she continued to ramble while searching for a party.

"Eek!" She screamed, I looked at her with my tired eyes, "I found the best one!"

"Who?" I ask.

"Omega Psi Phi! They throw the best parties, it's Aloha tonight, do you have a Hawaiin shirt?"

"I think so..." I respond, I don't actually own one, I just wanted to make Rory excited.

"Yay! Go get ready girl!"

I search through my dresser to look for a non-existent Hawaiin shirt, and just by my luck I don't find it.

"Dang, I must have forgotten it at home, uh, what do I wear now?"

Rory rolls her eyes, "Something like Summer!"

Summer, the last thing I wanted to think about was summer.

"Summer? It's cold outside," I say back.

"Whatever, you can be cold for one night! Stop procrastinating and get ready!"

I grab the first shirt I see in my drawer and it's my old creme t-shirt with a red hibiscus flower in the middle.

It makes me smile thinking of the first bonfire from two summers ago. The night where I drunkenly told Jeremiah I loved him. God, even now I can't handle my liquor.

I decided to complete my old iconic look by putting my hair into two braids and curling my eyelashes. I put some glitter eyeshadow on my eyelids and added a little highlighter to my face.

I look over at Rory and smile at her, "I think I'm ready."

"Cute!" She yelled. She was wearing a hot pink tube top and a light pink Hawaiian t-shirt, matched with jean shorts.

"It's November, you're going to die," I say to her.

"Whatever, I'll die hot."

"Let's take a Polaroid!" I suggest.

We run over and pose next to my McLovin Tapestry.

A/N I OWN THIS TAPESTRY IN REAL LIFE LMAOO🧸🧸

"Smile!" I yell.

The picture turned out cute.

"That's going on my wall," I gushed to her.

"Yes! That's the energy we need tonight! We are hot-ass-bitches Lauren!"

"Is Liam going?" I ask.

"Duh, I need to show off my hot-ass boyfriend."

She loved saying that they were official, but she earned it. My only issue is that they are horny almost every night and I have to just wait in our dorm building's common room or spend the night at Jere's.

"Is Jere coming?" She asked me.

"I don't know, I haven't talked to him today, I'll text him."

Messages with Jerebear

Are you going to Omega Psi Phi's party?

He answered almost immediately.

Jerebear

Ok, when are you going?

Pick Rory and me up soon?

Jerebear

Gotchu, see you in 20

Rory and I waited outside on the curb as Jere pulled up.

I hopped in, ran to the passenger seat, and planted a kiss on his lips. They tasted sweet, almost like a slurpee.

"Hi, did you drink a slurpee?" I said with a smile. I woke up this morning so angry and sad but friends and loved ones can turn it all around.

"Hi Gorgeous," He replied, "And yes, yes I did."

Rory made a gagging sound in the backseat.

I rolled my eyes at her, "Shut up! Soon you and Liam will be sucking each other's tongues."

She stuck her tongue out at me, "Hopefully!"

"Ew!" I replied while laughing.

I reached over and grabbed Jere's hand as he started the car and made our way to the Frat.

It was a quick drive and we only would be able to play one song so I had to choose carefully.

"Are you going to play something?" Rory asked impatiently.

"Shh, I'm choosing!" I say back.

I knew I had to choose the best song, so I chose See You Again by Tyler, the Creator, and Kali Uchis.

I started to sing Tyler's part and Jere sang Kali's.

I hear Rory making fake tear noises, "Stop, you guys are too cute."

I heard her take some pics and I didn't care, I was already having too much fun.

As we pulled up, we already saw a bunch of almost naked men wearing Hawaiian shirts.

"This is going to be fun," Rory said while jumping out of the car excitedly.

I shake my head laughing at her.

I turn to Jere and look at him, "Thank you for driving us."He leans close, "Anytime, you look stunning tonight."

"Why thank you, I try sometimes for this guy I like," I say while leaning closer to him.

"Oh, you like a guy? What's he like?'' He says seductively while looking at my lips.

"He's nice and cute," I say while leaning even closer. Our lips are about to touch when my seatbelt pulls me back. We both laugh.

"Fuck Seatbelts," I say while unbuckling and pulling his face onto mine.

"I'd rather fuck you," He says back while kissing me.

He moves his seat back and I crawl over to sit on him, we begin to aggressively make out.

His hands grasp my ass and I bite his bottom lip.

"Ow," he says while smiling.

"You're a snack," I say back while going in for another kiss.

"What about the party?" He says.

I grind against his lap, "Screw the party," I reach down and pull his seat on the way back.
