He thought it was a good idea; to get out for the night instead of sitting home moping around handing out candy to little kids. He'd prefer to go out scaring them, but frankly lacked the energy for that. He hardly had energy for anything. He was still sick, his throat felt scratchy and his nose was still a little stuffy, and he coughed here and there, but he was so depressed he didn't really care about it anymore. He got dressed, the skeleton suit and a grey hoodie, pulling it over his mess of brown hair... he was going as Donnie Darko.
The Party was a blur. He managed to make small-talk with Diem on the drive over, but after an hour, kind of ditched her to go find drinks, and ended up on the back porch with some Wonder woman talking nonsense with a plastic cup of bad beer and a pack of cigarettes between them. Before he knew it, she was pulling him through the crowd of colorful costumed skanks and manwhores and up the stairs to presumably an empty bedroom.
Bryan downed the last of his cup of beer as an unsettling foreboding settled into his stomach. She grabbed him by the wrist and smiled at him innocently, before dragging him to some parent's bedroom and kissing him hard on the mouth.
His mind was screaming at him. He was telling himself this was a bad idea. She tasted like cigarettes and beer, and he couldn't remember if she told him her age, or well, her name for that matter.
He felt drowsy and disconnected; his body was reacting, but his mind wasn't catching up, and frankly he didn't want her whole-heartedly. He was on his back, staring up at her amid the dark shadows of the unlit room, and she was kissing him again, but he felt panic when her hand was moving down from his side, across his abdomen, and... Bryan broke the kiss.
Jade.. he though, not saying anything to the girl and he struggled out from under her, and hurried toward the door with his heart pounding wildly. I need to talk to Jade. He felt sick to his stomach as he headed down the stairs, missing a few steps and coughing as he made it through the front door.
He didn't have a watch, but it felt like forever as he walked down dark streets filled with a few teenagers still in their costumes at this hour of night, even if people had stopped answering their doors.
He was buzzed and he was coughing, and his chest was aching a bit; Bryan chalked it up to the emotional strain he was having... the fact that he knew without even thinking about it that he had come to a decision to have it all out with Jade, and anxiety was starting to set in.
He had to have been walking for an hour, though it was really only 20 minutes, until he arrived at her apartment, staring at it from across the street, ignoring the cold air as he breathed in sharply.
He finally willed himself from the spot, and started across the street until he came to her door.
"Fuck.." He cursed under his breath... what if she wasn't home?
He knocked anyway...
