CHAPTER 19
==============================
The home of the Watson's:
Courtney Watson, the beautiful blonde teen who loved spending time with her friends. Her friends meant everything to her except for tonight. Her mother was having a dinner party with her clients and their families. The biggest party of the year at Gisela’s and she couldn’t make it at all. Her family came first. She wore a lovely a royal blue midi dress which absolutely flattered her proportions. Courtney heard the doorbell. Her mother called out “Courtney, could you get that?”
The golden blonde teen ran downstairs with her heels clapping against the tiled staircase. She opened the door gently to reveal…“Chloé!” It was Chloé Stewart and her family. The dark brunette teen hugged Courtney but unlike Courtney she was dressed more casual. She wore a black top, a red skater skirt, black stockings and boots as she walked in with her parents. “What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be like formal?”
“I’m going to the party, you know the one that you’re going. The one with the cute Joel Harris. Do you think he’s single?” Chloé had a massive crush on Joel since they met on the beach during the summer. She judged the disappointed look on Courtney’s face. “You know the party at Gisela’s? Your best friend? Are you even going to this party?” Chloé kept on asking with a confused tone and a quizzical look plastered on her face.
“No, I’m not. I have to stay with my family.” Courtney muttered under the breath showing a little bit nay a lot of disappointment in her voice. She groaned in frustration when she heard the doorbell chime again. It wasn’t a ‘ding dong’ more like ‘ding ding diiiiiingggggg’. She opened the door to reveal “Jason?” Ahh Jason the guy who wanted to sleep with Courtney. She was not pleased at all but she couldn't say a thing except “Hello and welcome” since his parents were with him.
“Hey, I’m sorry about last time. I just suffered from a horrible breakup, and here I bought you something.” Jason smiled as he pulled out a blue velvet rectangular box from his pocket as he and Courtney were at a corner away from the crowd. “Just for friendship, if you still want to be friends.”
Courtney reluctantly opened the box revealing a beautiful silver bracelet. “Oh my….it’s so beautiful, thank you.” Courtney squealed in delight as she gave to Jason to put it around Courtney’s left wrist. “I accept it, so are you going to the party?”
“I’m here with my parents, so that’s the big N O.” Jason smiled gazing at Courtney’s deep dark brown eyes. “But I’m with you, so I think it is going to be a great night.” He charmingly kissed Courtney on her left hand. She giggled and blushed in response.
Chloé watched in disgust at the whole scene after she got lost trying to find the bathroom. This creep tried to sleep with as many girls as possible at the beach and he already charmed her friend. “Hey Courtney…umm I got lost trying to find the bathroom. Can you help me find it?” Chloé tugged on Courtney’s arm.
“Oh okay,” Courtney was beaming. “Be right back.”
“Oh don’t worry,” Jason smiled with his hands in his jeans’ pockets just casually looking around at the décor of the Watson house. It was like pretty, neat, a taste of the normal happy family. There were a lot of photos of sporting moments and memorabilia since Courtney’s father was a college football coach. “I’m joining to talk to your dad.”
“What the hell, Court?” Chloé asked in a harsh annoyed tone. She just looked confused at her friend’s actions. “The guy tried to sleep with you and dumped your behind and now you just forgive him like hunky dory?”
“What’s wrong with forgiving him? He got me this lovely friendship bracelet.” Courtney showed off her lovely beautiful silver bracelet on her wrist.
“You have to be joking, I know the guy. He is a creep, a slimeball. He just wants to screw you, I’m saying this out of concern.” Chloé tried to reason with her but it was getting heated. “I know this because he tried to same shit I did but I was smart enough.”
“Are you calling me stupid?” Courtney took exception. She glared at Chloé with her hands on her hips. “You know what I think? I think you’re jealous that he bought me something and you can’t stand the sight of it.”
“This is ridiculous, Courtney. You have to listen to me, don’t trust this guy.” Chloé pleaded with her but Courtney was too enamored with the bracelet to even listen to Chloé. “Seriously?”
“You are so jealous, Chloé. It is so obvious. You just want him.”
“Are you that dense? Whatever, I’m going to the party. Good luck…” Chloé with her hands on her glared at Courtney who was still enamored with the bracelet to even care. Chloé went to her the living room where her parents were. "I can't believe you like me. That's gross."

The Party of the Year @ The Muller Household:
The party was a blast. People everywhere, people were drinking, eating, mingling, kissing, dancing to very loud music or watching those that were dancing to the music. Gisela was dancing with a handsome blonde male as the girls joined her to dance with few of the guys. The guys on the other hand were standing at a corner next to the food table drinking a bottle of Budweiser each.
“Bros, all I’m saying is that Dominique Derval was the hottest Bond Girl,” said Joel while watching some of the girls dance. “Brunette, swimmer and her eyes, man. Her eyes!” The conversation went to Bond Girls after talking about beers. “I’m telling you guys, it is in like the Bond Constitution.”
“Nah, nah, nah…” Kyle muttered before taking a sip of his beer. “See, I get where you’re coming from, man but for me Tatiana Romanova. I mean she sounds so damn hot and man her eyes and her body. Dude she was like Miss Universe or something.”
“You guys are obviously missing the one Bond Girl that matters to us all,” Chris joined in with his beer. “Anya Amasova. Now she was hot. See where you guys went wrong was in the name. Anya’s code name was literally Triple X. Guys, want does triple x mean?”
“Ahhhh yeah….good catch, bro.” Joel slapped Chris’s back before the conversation led to…”Michelle Pfeiffer would be a hot Bond Girl, I mean Catwoman. She was Catwoman and so damn sexy…rawr.” Joel scratched the air like a cat. “Wait wasn’t that supposed to be meow? Ahh shit.”
“Mira Sorvino? Claire Forlani?” Kyle was listing off names while they were trying to think of the best possible Bond Girl. “No wait she was in Mission Impossible…Nicole Kidman and Lucy Lawless.”
“Dude what’s with you and Nicole Kidman?” Chris looked at Kyle in amusement before taking a massive scull of beer.
“What?” Kyle raised his hands defensively. “She’s hot, tall and Australian.”
“Yeah, yeah I can see that but guys we are forgetting someone. Someone really important that has shaped our lives.” Joel put his arms around both Kyle and Chris. “Nay a whole generation, a whole generation of males…”
“Marisa Tomei?”
“Heather Graham?”
“Gentlemen you are both right…well not you Chris. Heather Graham in a Bond Movie? I don’t see it but guys the American TV goddess herself for our generation. She was Kelly Kapowski and is currently the foxy Valerie Malone. Boys, you know who I’m talking about.” Joel gave a speech like it was one of the most important speeches of all time. The guys looked directly into the space and could only say one thing.
“Tiffani Thiessen!!!” All in unison. They sculled their beer and cheered “Cheers!” in unison.
Joel noticed someone from a distance. This woman had blue hair. Gone were the days of black with highlights. She went full on color. “Ooh boy….he is my secret admirer….Kyle, you need to do something.”
“The girl who said I was her boyfriend….ahh man we need to keep busy boys.” Kyle pointed out as he tried to say incognito. He didn't tell her that he came back because she was creep and obsessive. The fact that she told people that he was her boyfriend was beyond creepy. “Ahh shit….”
“Kyle!” Janet ran up to Kyle clutching his arm. He could see that Joel and Chris were laughing in the background.
“Janet…what a surprise…” He took a deep breath and through his teeth made conversation with his apparent girlfriend. “Nice….hair…..” He looked at her hair and smiled through his teeth. He was finding this really uncomfortable.
“Are you drinking?” Janet noticed his beer bottle. “How could you? You became the vapor scum of the ditz dumb jocks.”
“Errr no…see this…is….was, you know there….and….hi?” Kyle hid the bottle behind his back. He felt an hand on his. He turned around and felt a little relief.
“Let’s dance.” He was dragged by a certain black haired beauty to the dance floor.
“Sorry Janet, I’ll talk later.” Kyle said but his voice was lost in the loud dance music. “Thank you for saving my behind, Daniela. Man, she is crazy psycho.”
“No problem, Joel told me everything about her,” Daniela brushed a little bit of her black hair from her blue eyes holding Kyle by the hand. “So we gonna dance or back to Janet land?”
“Dance, yeah let’s dance.” Kyle chuckled as they both started to dance to the music. They pulling moves out to the music and dancing in sync more or less.
“Huh look at that…” Chris pointed at Janet before taking another swig at the bottle. “She’s going after you…good luck, bro.” He patted Joel on the shoulder before calling out “Alicia!”
“Great…some friend you are.” Joel sarcastically noted before putting on a brave smile for Janet. “Janet….hi….so how are you?”
“What did you do to corrupt my boyfriend?” She went all in angry. No holds bar for this girl. Joel just stared at her with a confused ‘What the hell’ raised eyebrow look. “I know you were jealous that he was with me and you wanted me but you can have me now…” She whispered in his ear. “Lover…”
“Janet, you’re a…..nice girl but I’m not interested in you at all…” Joel spotted Chloé who just rocked up into the party.
“Why? Because you are single, right?” She twirled her blue hair all flirty as she leaned closer and close to Joel. Joel was all flustered and not interested at all. He really wanted to get out of there. “Otherwise you have no reason to leave.” She was pure crazy, really, really crazy and obsessed.
“You want a beer?” Joel sculled half a bottle before opening another. He offered one to Janet with a little smile knowing that she disliked alcohol from her response to Kyle drinking. “Because see that girl over there?” Joel pointed at Chloé who was looking around. Janet stared at brunette girl. "That's my date to the party." He lied. He felt bad about lying but it was for a good cause. Janet walked away trying to find Kyle without a word.
“You’re a good dancer,” Daniela smiled really impressed at Kyle’s dancing. “So tell me more about Europe. Did you go shopping in Milan and Paris? That would have been so amazing.”
“Actually I did, and you’re good dancer as well.” Kyle replied as they continued to dance. Kyle was about to stop before he noticed Janet coming his way. “Keep dancing, Daniela. She’s coming.”
“What? Your girlfriend?” She teased before a serious face emerged. She could see from a distance Tony, her boyfriend. “Sorry Kyle but Tony is here…” She stopped dancing and kissed Kyle on the cheek. “Thank you for that great time.”
“Wait I thought you two broke…eh whatever….” Kyle noticed Gisela and Chris dancing together while Joel and Alicia were dancing as well. He watched as Daniela was talking to Tony and she was very expressive, angrily expressive. “Ahhh crap….” He muttered to himself noticing that Janet was coming his way.
“So you’re the illustrious Kyle Thorpe. Wanna dance?” Kyle turned around to the voice and could see a very attractive light brunette wearing a black top, a red skater skirt, black stockings and boots. She clutched his hand and dragged him to the middle of the dancefloor. “Hi, I’m Chloé Stewart. I’m a friend of Courtney Watson, you know her.”
Kyle looked down and chuckled after hearing Courtney’s name. “Yeah I do she’s nice…” He noticed Chloé’s smile which was really cute but nothing as sweet and lovely as Courtney’s. “Hey, thanks for saving me from Janet, I owe you one.”
“I know you do. So ummm you either….” Chloé played with Kyle’s patchwork jacket, twirling it around just under the left breast pocket. “Get me some time with Joel Harris,” Chloé’s massive crush “And you dance with me. You’re pretty cute, you know.” She was really forward. “Actually you’re hot not like nerdy cute like they said before.” Really forward but at least she saved him from Janet.
"Huh?" was the response he could muster. "Who said that?" He thought to himself but he guessed it didn't matter.
The night went on as Kyle with Chris, Gisela and Alicia as they watched Joel awkwardly dancing with a very interested Chloé. They found it hilarious as Chloé threw herself at him uncomfortably at Joel who was really not interested but had to keep pretending to be interested to get rid of Janet. Gisela noticed that Daniela and Tony were all over each other talking away in their own corner. It was very sweet that they patch things about together even though no one knew why they broke up in the first place during the summer.
“Guys, we have a lot more booze!!!!!” Chris yelled all hoarse over the music as the lovely Alicia pointed at all the drinks.
“All the more reason to enjoy the night, guys,” Alicia yelled along with Chris. “They are all going to regret this night….” She muttered under her breath to herself as she poured herself a cup of soda unlike Chris, Kyle and Gisela who went all in with alcohol.
The night led to Chris drinking more and more with Kyle and Joel who finally got Chloé off his back by pleading to her to dance with Tony instead. “So like I was saying boys, I love you guys. Even you….” Chris hugged Kyle “You geeky bastard that loves Marisa.”
“Man, you’re drunk….dude, okay so like Italy had some movies where girls just took their tops off. All nudity, guys. All nudity.” Kyle slurred as he was drunk off his face as well.
“We are so going to Europe….” Joel put his arms around the guys. “Me, Chrissie, Thorpe and my bro out there doing me the solid, Tony…” He pointed at Tony who was dancing with Chloé. “Dude, you are so much taller…man Europe must have been crazy. Did you score?” Joel asked.
Chris and Joel stared at Kyle with keen eyes. “Man, I’m a geek. C’mon guys, let’s be real.” He wanted to avoid telling anyone about Francesca but in his drunk state Kyle was about the blurt it out. “I like this song….hey Alicia wanna dance? Oh wait…” Kyle laughed with his arm around Joel. “She’s already there well she should be here dancing with me. I’m so drunk….” He was slurring away and wobbling about like the rest of the guys.
Alicia and Gisela danced at the dance floor with Daniela. Tony was dancing away with Chloé. It was a fun night actually it was the biggest party ever. It was past 3 am in the morning before the party ended. It wasn't going to be a happy morning. Chloé left with Alicia and Tony as the rest of the group crashed at the Muller house.
------------------------------
In the Morning:
The house was a mess. There were beer bottles, plastic cups, food and clothes all over odd places including on top of the washing machine and drier. Daniela groaned as she got up. Her black hair was all over her face as looked around. She saw bottles, food and someone’s leather jacket on the ceiling lights. She was so tired as she wandered into the kitchen all with a fatigued look on her face. She opened the refrigerator but as she opened it a pink bra fell on her head. She groaned as she flicked it off her head. Daniela looked inside the fridge. There was milk, so that was a positive. “I’ll have to make some coffee…”
Joel woke up with a groan. His eyes were bloodshot red and his head was throbbing as he woke up on the living room after crashing on a couch in the basement floor right in front of the projector TV. “Oh man…” He groaned as he felt the after effects of last night. He was severely hungover. He walked up the flight of wooden stairs, more like stumbled as he was really feeling it. He could see how messy the living room was as he tried to navigate through cups, bottles, clothes and the works trying to get into the kitchen.
Gisela also felt the after effects less so than the guys. She woke up from her king sized bed and went straight to the bathroom. She groaned as her head was throbbing, she was hungover after that wild night. “I have to make breakfast…wha?” Gisela saw Chris who managed to sleep in a bathtub in his underwear. “So…..okay?” muttered the beautiful blonde as she made her way through the long corridor upstairs down to the marble staircase before making her way to the kitchen.
“Good morning,” Daniela smiled all chipper because she wasn’t hungover like Gisela or Joel. “Coffee?” She offered pouring a mug for Gisela. “It’s really strong and I have breakfast going. I need to use the bathroom…where is it?”
“Umm…upstairs, we have like two but don’t take the one on the 3rd left.” Gisela muttered the directions as she really wasn’t up to doing much. She knew she had a lot to clean before Olivia and her father would arrive tomorrow night.
“Okay, 3rd door on the left,” Daniela took note as she repeated it over and over to remember. She walked to the living room and smiled at Joel. Next obstacle was navigating through the living room like it was a video game level before finally reaching the marble staircase that led upstairs.
“Good morning….” Joel groggily greeted as he trudged along to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of orange juice. “You ended up okay?”
“I’m so totally hungover….my head hurts.” Gisela groaned as everything sounded louder to her.
“I’m struggling as well….but it could be worse. At least none of us threw up and why do I have a phone number written on my arm in lipstick?” Joel looked at the phone number written down on his arm in thick red lipstick.
“Ooh Joel got lucky…who’s number is it?” The blonde teen looked over at the phone number as Joel moved his forearm in front of her face. “That’s Chloé’s. She really likes you…” Gisela giggled when she witness Joel groaning in disappointment.
“I don’t like her that way. She doesn’t get the picture. She’s like the male version of Chris.” Joel rested his head on the kitchen counter. “I mean female and look I love Chris, he’s my bro but a female version of him is scary crazy.” He mumbled with his face flat on the kitchen counter.
“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”
“AHHHHHH!!!!”
Two high pitched screams came from upstairs. Joel jerked his head up with concern but once he saw Gisela chuckle, he raised an eyebrow. “You’ll see.” She shook her head with a little chuckle and a smile.
‘THUD’
“What was that?” Joel looked up again along with Gisela.
“OWWWW”
“Kyle just woke up, you know I can’t believe his mom and my daddy are going out. I love his mom but it is so weird. He totally had a crush on me and now it’s like really weird, you know.” Gisela sipped her coffee looking at Joel who was now leaning against the refrigerator playing with the pink bra that Daniela found earlier. “Ewww…gross.”
Joel smiled as he flicked the bra using the one of the elastic straps towards Gisela. “Hey if it goes well, you guys will be siblings.”
Gisela blinked for a few seconds before slamming her head against the kitchen counter. “Oww….”
“Don’t you even knock?” Chris stormed down stairs along with Daniela. “I mean seriously, is that hard to be polite?”
“Oh I’m sorry but who in their right mind sleeps in the bathtub.” As Daniela argued the phone started to ring. "Put some damn pants on..."
“I’ll get that probably Olivia checking up. She does that, it is so totally awesome.” Gisela said with a little perk in her voice as she picked up the phone and went to another room. “Hello? Oh hey Court! How was last night?...”
“What happened guys?” Joel asked stirring his orange juice for no reason with a teaspoon.
“I was going to have a shower but someone was sleeping in the tub.” Daniela fumed as Joel raised his eyebrow at Chris.
“Dude, you were sleeping in a tub?” Joel asked in disbelief but he was the one stirring a glass of orange juice with a teaspoon.
“Well, yeah. Where were you sleeping?” Chris asked a bit worried that he was the only one who slept on a horrible place. He stumbled in ttryiing to put his pants on.
“Downstairs on a couch.”
“Living room.”
“I had a bed.” Kyle walked down still feeling all groggy as he poured himself a mug of milk before putting it in the microwave for 30 seconds. “You slept in a bathtub?”
“Wait, how come you got a bed?” Chris asked in disbelief as even Kyle, literally Kyle got a bed. “Did you score?”
“No, I just had a bed.” Kyle smiled as he stood by the microwave.
“Why did you get a bed? Dude, this is evil.”
“My mum is dating her dad.” Kyle heard the beep from the microwave and took out his mug of hot milk. He saw Joel stirring a glass of orange juice. "I get a bed with no strings attached."
“Seriously. Who was the girl and how did she look naked?” Joel asked as Kyle raised an eyebrow and just walked off to the kitchen table having no part of this conversation.
“TMI.” Daniela plugged in the toaster as Gisela walked back to the kitchen. “So who called?”
“Courtney and she is going on a double date with you and Tony? Is that right?” Asked a skeptical Gisela who looked at Daniela suspiciously, very suspiciously. “So I thought you and Tony….”
“We got back together last night.” Daniela blushed as the group stared at her with a blank expression on their faces. “We talked and sorted out a lot of things.”
“Wait, Gisela how did Kyle get a bed and I had to sleep in the bathtub?”
“His mom is dating my dad. By the way how did you get in the tub?” Gisela smiled as she spun around Daniela to get her breakfast. “Ummm so why are you stirring that orange juice? It’s totally weird.” With that inquiry Joel stopped and looked sheepishly at everyone.
“She asked if anyone else is interested, so?” the black haired teen looked at her cousin first. “Joel?”
“Work.”
“Gisela?”
“Clean up duties.”
“Chris?”
“Yeah, sure.”
“Kyle?”
Kyle let out a groan as he rested his face, face first on the glass dining table right with a vase full of roses touching his head. “Promised my friends and….” He shuddered “…Janet….that’ll spend time with time….them.”
“Doing what? Playing video games? Reading comic books….? Like seriously?” Gisela at first was teasing Kyle but then noticed that he nodded slowly still hungover. “Wow, you are such a geek.”
“Wait, I don’t want to be the 5th wheel,” Chris sat down next to the despondent Kyle pouring milk on his head. Kyle groaned and grunted as the cold milk ran down his neck, head and down his back and chest. “That should wake him up.”
“Shut it tub boy….” Kyle mumbled still with his head down.
“She’s going with some guy named Jason.”
“Jason?” Joel dropped his teaspoon. He, Daniela and Chris looked up while Kyle offered another groan. “That’s…”
“The guy.” Daniela stared at Chris who looked concerned.
“Was that like the guy….?” Gisela asked softly with a very worried look on her face as she leaned against the kitchen sink. “Wow…I wish I could stop her.”
“I have a secret plan!” Chris stood up proudly. “I will save Gisela!”
“Courtney, Chris.” She corrected him.
“Thank you, Gisela.” Chris smiled but proudly exclaimed like a superhero. “I will save Courtney with the help of…Kyle.”
“My life sucks….why Janet? WHY!” Kyle turned his head to the side looking directly at the sunlight from the windows. He groaned once more as the sunlight went in his eyes. "I hate my life..." He slammed his head against the table. "Aww man there's milk all over me..."
“I’ll find someone…” Chris mumbled as he sat back down as the group looked at each other in concern except for Kyle who wiped some milk off his body. "To the Jag!!!"
"You know we are totally not in shape to drive. Cartoons?" Gisela suggested to the rest of group. They all grunted in agreement as they followed Gisela to the TV room to watch some morning cartoons.
