*~*Kamalei’s POV*~*

I looked at myself in the mirror, making sure I didn’t look high or like I just had a make-out session. Pleased with my appearance, I left the room and made my way back downstairs to the rest of the party. I felt less nervous but I still wanted that beer I was promised earlier. I looked over to the bar seeing my brother behind it and walked over to it. I pushed some guys that were talking to him out of the way and leaned over the bar, pushing my breasts up even more in my strapless shirt.

“Can I get a beer please?” I said flirtatiously.

I watched my brother’s face turn red as the other guys that I had shoved aside looked right down at my chest in shock, suddenly not angry at me pushing them. My brother reached down and handed me the opened beer with a stern look.

“Stop it.” He said to me.

The other guys looked at him, noticing his red face and looking back at me.

“What?” I asked him with a smirk.

Again the guys looked between the two of us confused.

“Guys this is my BABY sister Kamalei. Kamalei, this is Bert and Jeph from The Used.” He introduced.

“Uh… nice to meet you…” Jeph stammered out nervously.

Bert just reached out and hugged me to him. I hugged him back and I could feel eyes watching me. I looked over at Matt and was surprised that he wasn’t the one watching. I pulled away from Bert and straightened out my clothes again.

“I like hugs.” Bert said with a big smile.

I giggled at his silly appearance, “Well it’s nice to meet you too. Hugs are always good. Unless you’re a creeper.”

Bert put his hand over his chest dramatically, “Of course if you’re a creeper! Those are not hugs I like…”

I laughed at his dramatization and took another sip of my beer as I turned and saw who was watching me. Zacky was across the room talking to Benji and Sarah but he looked irritated. I chose to make my way over to him as he continued chatting lightly with the brother and sister.

“Zee? Are you alright?” I leaned over standing on my tip toes in my heels to whisper in his ear.

I felt him shiver lightly before saying, “Yeah. You want me to show you?”

“Uh… sure.” I played along as he excused us from Benji and Sarah.

He grabbed my hand and led me back upstairs to his bedroom. Once in the room he locked the door behind us, grabbing the mirror and the bag from his pocket, and taking a seat on the bed.

“You want more my Lei girl?” he asked me as he poured out more onto the mirror.

“Okay. Are you alright Zee?” I asked a little concerned about his look from earlier.

“Mmhmm. I’m fine. Why?”

“You looked irritated downstairs. Did I do something wrong? Am I annoying you?” I asked him looking down at my shoes.

He looked up at me, grabbed my hand and pulled me to sit next to him on his bed, placing his hand softly on my cheek, “You could never be annoying to me. I’m fine. I just… nothing.”

“What is it Zacky? You can always tell me.” I said grabbing his hand in mine.

“I just hate that short shit Johnny sometimes.” He said and I knew he was talking about the interruption from earlier.

He finished cutting the cocaine on the mirror, handing me the rolled bill. I did the line and handed it off to him. He did his and I laid back on his bed with my arms out, smiling and letting the drug take hold of my body. He set the mirror on the dresser before sitting back down next to me, a smile on his face as he looked at me.

“What?”

“Nothing. You’re just so pretty when you smile like that.” He said making me blush.

“Stop it already. Let’s go before my brother notices I disappeared with you.” I said getting up from the bed and heading out of the room.

He grabbed my wrist when I was halfway down the hall, still out of sight from the staircase and downstairs, pulling me to him, his lips crashing down to mine. It was only for a moment, but it made me smile all the same as he pulled away.

“I couldn’t help it. I needed one before going back to the party.” He smirked before releasing my wrist.

I went down the stairs first, Zacky following me closely.

“Where were you two?” Matt asked with a raised eyebrow.

“I needed to touch up my eyeliner. Zacky had some in his bathroom for me.” I replied quickly patting Matt’s chest as I walked away from him.

The drugs had boosted my confidence level extremely and made drinking easier, and I soon found myself at least 6 beers in talking to Billy, Austin, and Jeph about going on tour with my brother and his friends. I scanned the living room looking for Zacky, like I did every few minutes, finding him over by the bar talking to Bert, Joel, Benji, Nicole, and Sarah. He smirked at me, letting me know he was close by and I continued my conversation with my group.

I felt a hand on the small of my back, turning to see Zacky smiling at me before nodding to go back upstairs for a minute. I excused myself from the guys and followed him towards the stairs. We went back to his bedroom, doing yet another line before returning to the party. We did another line with Brian and Kelly after another 15 minutes and yet another with Benji and Sarah 10 minutes after that. I was beginning to think that Zacky had magical reoccurring powers because it seemed like the drugs never stopped flowing.

I was high and drunk and it felt great. It wasn’t like when I was with Micah and went to the party with Kelly last time. This was a much better experience. I wandered outside after our last bedroom trip to find Jimmy and Leana who I hadn’t seen since the start of the evening. I found them by the pool talking to a guy in a light blue button up shirt. He looked really familiar as I got closer.

Jimmy noticed me lazily wandering, calling me over, “Little Lei-Lei! Come here little love!!”

I came over to him and gave Leana a hug, “Sorry, I didn’t get a chance to say hi to you earlier.”

“Oh its fine sweetie. It seems you have let loose more now than you were when you first got here.” She smiled.

“Yeah… drinking can do that.” I replied as I looked at the other guy I didn’t know, “You look like Zacky boy!”

“Zacky boy? Do you mean Zack? I’m Matthew, Zack’s brother.” He said politely taking my hand and kissing my knuckles.

“Wow. So formal… how nice. It’s nice to meet you. I’m Kamalei, but you can call me Lei. I wonder why Zacky didn’t introduce you to me. He said he wanted me to meet you. He’s told me quite a bit about you.” I said happily.

“He’s all over the place right now… He told me a lot about you too.” Matthew said and I blushed.

“Oh boy, probably about how clumsy I am…” I giggled.

“Not exactly.” Matthew said, “He said you were beautiful, but I think that’s an understatement.”

I could feel my face turning dark red as Jimmy gave me a surprised look. Leana looked at Jimmy with an ‘uh-oh’ face before turning to me.

“Well, thank you Matthew. Zacky said you don’t like to be called Matt. Is that right?” I asked.

“Yeah, I prefer Matthew. Care to get another drink with me?” He asked extending his arm to me.

I linked my arm with his, “Sure. We’ll be back.” I called to Jimmy and Leana receiving a sarcastic ‘sure’.

We went back into the house and over to the bar. My brother was back behind it again and smiled at me when I came up with Matthew. I had a strange feeling at the way my brother was acting as he handed us two beers happily and without some kind of a protest to some man touching me. Beers in hand, Matthew directed us over to the couch next to Kelly and Brian.

“You met little Baker I see?” Brian smirked drunk.

“Yeah. It’s amazing how you and your brother look so much alike.” I said to Matthew.

We chatted lightly with Brian and Kelly about Matthew’s own company and how I was going to be working for Zacky soon. I looked around for Zacky as I made my way back over to the bar, my brother handing me another beer.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

“You see Zee?”

“I think he went outside… You seem to be having a nice time with the younger Baker.” He said.

“Matthew is really nice. We’re talking about his company and how I’m gonna work for Zee soon. I was just wondering where he went…” I said trailing off and trying to peer outside for him.

“If he comes in, I’ll tell him you’re looking for him. Go back and enjoy yourself, look, Kelly is waiting for you.” Matt said nodding over to her.

Kelly was standing up, practically jumping up and down as I came back to the couch.

“Come on! It’s our favorite song! Let’s give them a show…” She said seductively winking at me.

I listened carefully as I heard Katy Perry’s ‘I Kissed A Girl’ come on, Brian turning up the stereo at the request of his excited girlfriend. Kelly grabbed my hand and got up on Zacky’s glass coffee table, pulling me with her carefully in my heels. We began singing the song, using our beers as microphones as we danced on the table, attracting the attention of the party goers.

This was never the way I planned, not my intention. I got so brave, drink in hand, lost my discretion It's not what I'm used to, just wanna try you on. I'm curious for you, caught my attention. I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry chapstick. I kissed a girl just to try it, I hope my boyfriend don't mind it. It felt so wrong, it felt so right. Don't mean I'm in love tonight. I kissed a girl and I liked it (I liked it).

Before the next verse came up Kelly and I turned to face each other, leaning over and locking lips for a moment before continuing on in the song. Brian and numerous other guys cheered at the girl on girl action in front of them. I couldn’t help but smirk as the guys cheered. The attention and cat calls made me feel even sexier up on that coffee table.

No, I don't even know your name, it doesn't matter. You're my experimental game, just human nature. It's not what good girls do, not how they should behave. My head gets so confused, hard to obey. I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry chapstick. I kissed a girl just to try it, I hope my boyfriend don't mind it. It felt so wrong, it felt so right. Don't mean I'm in love tonight. I kissed a girl and I liked it (I liked it).

Another short kiss before the very last part came on, earning more cheering from the guys. I noticed Zacky come in from outside to see what was going on. I replied to his smirk with a flirtatious smile before diving into the last part, my favorite.

Us girls we are so magical, Soft skin, red lips, so kissable. Hard to resist, so touchable. Too good to deny it. Ain't no big deal, it's innocent.

Kelly grabbed me by my lower back and grinded her hips with mine on the table during the verse before I grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her deeply as the last chorus played.

The guys in the room sounded like a riot was going to break out as we pulled away from each other smiling. Brian stood up from his spot on the couch, grabbing Kelly by the waist and pulling her down to him, whispering in her ear. I was surprised when Matthew stood up and grabbed me by the waist as well, spinning me a little before setting me down on the ground.

He looked me in the eyes before whispering in my ear, “That was pretty amazing… you wanna get away from everyone?”

I was unsure at first but all of the guys coming over to me and Kelly were making me more nervous than the feeling to go with Matthew, so I opted for the latter. I scanned the room looking for Zacky again within the crowd, but he was lost somewhere in the sea of bodies.

“Yeah. Let’s go.” I said as he grabbed me by the hand and pulled me away from the commotion.

“Let’s go upstairs. Zee won’t mind.” Matthew said as we went up the stairs into one of Zacky’s guest rooms.

Matthew left the door open behind him as I sat on the bed. He came over to the bed and sat next to me, his hand gently resting on my thigh closest to him. I was a little uneasy about it, but I figured he wouldn’t do anything because Zacky was his brother and knew how Zacky felt about me.

I couldn’t be more wrong.

Before I knew it, Matthew’s lips were on mine, his hand behind my neck, holding me to him. He tasted like hard alcohol and beer. I put my hands on his chest and pushed away from him.

“Wha-What are you doing?!” I tried not to scream, knowing my brother was in the house and would somehow hear.

“Kissing you. You’re so beautiful Lei…” He said pulling me to him again.

I pushed back again, this time standing up from the bed and moving closer to the door, “Matthew, I just met you.”

“So, it’s a party. Live a little Lei…” he slurred.

“I don’t know what kind of girl you think I am, but I’m not the kind of girl who just sleeps with people I just met. Plus, what about your brother…” I replied.

“What about him? I don’t know, you could be that kind of girl and you just don’t know it yet…” He said grabbing me and kissing me again as he held my hands at my side.

I squirmed out of his hold on me, slapped him hard across the face, and pushed him across the room from me. I heard a loud crash, which sounded like a glass on the hard floors downstairs. I took the distraction as my opportunity to rush for the door and ran down the hall to Zacky’s guest bathroom, locking the door behind me.

I stood in front of the mirror, my hands on the counter as I tried not to cry. I wouldn’t let him get the best of me by making me feel shame. As much as I wanted to, I couldn’t tell anyone what had happened. I didn’t want to make waves between the bandmates and I certainly didn’t want to make brothers fight. I swallowed hard, fixed my hair in the mirror and slowly made my way back downstairs.

I walked into the bar area and saw the shattered glass all over the hard marble floor. Matt was picking up the larger pieces, Val coming out from the kitchen with a broom and dustpan to sweep up the smaller shards.

“What happened?” I asked Val.

“Honestly, I don’t know. Zacky came into the room, picked up the glass off the bar and threw it down on the floor and left.” She said sweeping.

“Where’d he go?” I asked concerned.

“Out back I think.”

I made my way carefully out to the backyard and saw Zacky sitting on one of the lawn chairs by the pool smoking a cigarette. He didn’t look up or say anything as I approached him.

“Hey, are you alright?” I asked him as I went to sit with him.

“Fine.” He said standing as soon as I sat.

“You don’t seem fine. What’s wrong?” I said looking up at him.

His eyes were dark and he wouldn’t look at me, simply just walking away and into the house after tossing his still lit cigarette on the ground. I sat there for a minute just staring off in the direction he went. If it wasn’t bad enough that I was just taken advantage of by his brother, now Zacky was angry and wouldn’t talk to me. I put my head in my hands, squeezing my eyes shut hard trying not to let the threatening tears fall. I felt a hand on my back and attempted to wipe the few spots of wetness from my face before looking up to see Kelly handing me a cigarette.

“What’s wrong baby?” she asked me rubbing circles on my back.

“I don’t know. Zacky won’t talk to me. I don’t know what I did to make him mad. He smiled at me when we were on the table.” I said taking a long drag.

“I don’t know what his problem is either. After the dance he grabbed Brian and me to go back up to his room, we did our stuff and Brian and I left the room. He said he would be down in a second and next thing I knew he threw the glass on the floor at the bar.”

“He was upstairs?!” I exclaimed, the realization that he probably saw Matthew kissing me.

“Yeah. Why?” Kelly asked confused.

I shook my head taking another drag of the cigarette putting the pieces together. I took the final swig of my beer, and stood.

“Hello? Lei? What does it matter if he was upstairs? Did something happen?” she questioned.

“No Kelly. Don’t worry about any of it. I need to talk to him, but first I want another beer.” I said as she stood and followed me in the house.

I went over to the bar and reached down below, grabbing one out from the cooler. When I looked up, Zacky was across the room talking to Benji and Sarah. Sarah kept playfully hitting him in the chest as they laughed and joked. Kelly looked from me to him and back to me seeing the jealousy on my face.

“Hey, they’re just talking Lei. It’s not like you two are together or anything either…” she said as I handed her a beer as well.

“What? I didn’t say anything.”

“You don’t have to. I’ve known you since we were little, I know that look.” She said as she took my hand and led me over to sit on the couch.

She wrapped her arm around my shoulders as we sat back and sang along with the songs on the stereo drinking. After some time, Brian came by and brought us beers, leaving us to ourselves as he went off to mess with Johnny who was no doubt somewhere passed out drunk. My high from the cocaine had long passed and I needed another line to keep up with my drinking. I got up from the couch, stretching and looking around to see if I could find Zacky, hoping he was in a better mood. I told Kelly I was going to the bathroom as I got up and wandered outside, not finding him there. Not seeing him anywhere in the lower part of the house, I guessed he was already upstairs probably doing another one on his own.

I went upstairs and down the hall to his bedroom. I thought about knocking, but then thought why would I? I grabbed the handle and turned, pushing the door open, instantly wishing I never came upstairs.
