Speaking of good beginings but bad middles and terrible ends.... Garrett's Party.
After conquering my issues with Natalie, seeing her for the last time for a while, doubting myself a lot... i thought it would be nice to head to a party with all of my friends and drink a little... you know, have a good time. And it was, don't get me wrong, here. Without any Smirnov Ice... it was still good. Then I was talking to people. Like, for example, Celia, who's night sucked, Jill C, who loved me at first, but kinda disappeared from my words later. Garrett, as always, rocked. I talked to Sam for a while about issues ranging from sexuality to drinking. And even though he hit the bottle I was drinking from and made me pour rasberry vodka up my nose, I was still having a good time.
Alison and Chris V^x let me tag along for some cigar smoking even. It was all chill until... the shit happened...
Ok, first, my good friend Abby was too drunk to talk to me about my recent girl development, which was alright, but then later, Abs felt the need to walk over to me, kissing every guy along the way. As it so happens I've had feelings for Abby a bit and have had a hard time getting over her. But w/e... she manages to stumble over to me, which in her defense, yes, she was drunk, and she pulls me close and starts to talk. "I can't kiss you, because you'll take it the wrong way... I can't EVER kiss you... EVER"
I'm like "ouch, dagger, but w/e, yeah, I'll live" Then she skips off to make out with Keith and remove her shirt, etc. etc, thus becoming that chick who gets drunk and slutty. Little offense, but not a lot, Abs. It's not that I was utterly crushed by this like, recent development, but she knows that I have a hard time with her, and this was just rubbing it in my face. I know you're never going to kiss me, I know I'm a loser, I accept it, you don't have to remind me, ok?
I dunno, maybe that doesn't sound bad, but I was upset anyways.
Then Chris V^x decides that he is going to drive his ass to Denny's. This is like, 2 AM btw. Anyways, Paul manages to stop his car in front of Chris's. Then there's some yelling, some talking, some hugging, etc, as we try to get his keys. He kept saying it was a pride issue, and that he promised not to drive, but we still wouldnt let him keep his keys.
Anyways, we let him walk to Garrett's with the keys, then I'm sent to go inside and get them from him. He stands in front of me as soon as I open the door and looks in my eyes with this freaky "im drunk, sad and pissed" look and he shoves me into the wall. I stand up, shove his ass back and he yells "get back in the fucking car, zac... you guys dont fucking trust me?!"
Then Garrett wakes up, and Brenna come in, and we're all trying to get the keys. Chris calms down a little, and sits in a chair. He asks for Paul, so I run out to get him. Paul comes in, goes over to talk to him and after a while of us not getting the keys, Garrett says "Chris, you have exactly two minutes to give up those keys before I come over there and take them"... talking... two minutes go by, Garrett looks at me and says "lets go" and so we walk over to chris. Garrett is standing over him and he's on a chair so Garrett like, reaches over Chris and pulls him out of the chair. After a few trips up and down, with Brenna and I in the mix a little, Chris ends up standing, me on one side with his arm and leg caught, Garrett in front of him with the other arm, and Brenna reaching for his keys, eventually we get them, and she runs them out to Alison in the car, still. We all leave, drop off Alison and Nicky C, then return. Chris isn't there, but we've got his keys. Paul and I leave again, to try and find him. We figure, he's either walking home or to Denny's where he thought we were going. Sure enough, there he is, walking on the side of the road in the snow. Pbuck and I convince him to get in the god damn car and Paul drops us both off at Garrett's, giving me the keys.
Paul Leaves. I take the keys, knowing that things could resort to violence again. It's like 3:30-4:30 now. I take the keys and hide them in the bathroom. He asks Brenna, in my chair, Seth, on the couch, Keith, in his bed, etc etc... nobody knows where the keys are, aviously, because I hids dem bastards. Anyways, I go to bed eventually, on a chair in the living room. Chris left the house, walked around, but I'm not sure where he went or when he came back. All I know is that when I woke up, my keys were missing. Chris is like, sitting in a chair, all scary like, and he says "I took your keys. Give me mine." We trade keys and leave. God damn.
So i have the party, a 2 out of 5. Good drinks, good people, just shitty events.
