Nothing lasts forever

"Hurry up!" Val called out from the living room.

"Coming!" I smoothed down my pants and smiled at my outfit.

I walked out if my room and Val smirked. "Getting dolled
up for the new kid, huh?"

"Shut up Val. What if I want to hook up with somebody cute?"

"Like Arin?" She snorted in laughter and I shook my head.

"Whatever let's just go."

-.-

"Found them." Val said pointing to the far end of the bar.

We walked through the crowd of sweaty, dancing bodies and made our way to our friends in the VIP area.

"Sorry we're late. Little miss perfectionist took forever." Val joked pointing at me with her thumb.

I stuck my tongue out at her and sat down next to Lacey. "Where's brother bear?"

"Getting shots." Lacey said with a smile. "So what's the occasion?"

"Huh?"

"Your outfit. You look sexy. A little too sexy." She smirked. "So Arin, huh?"

I sighed. "Will you guys get off my case about that? So what I'm trying to impress him?"

"I never said anything about impressing him."

I felt the heat rise to my cheeks. "Damn. You're getting good at that Lacey."

"I wouldn't say that.. the Sewards are just easy to trick." She sniggered.

Suddenly we heard a familiar scream and I jumped up. The first few chords of Scream started and I practically yanked Lacey onto the dance floor. I grinded up against her and we laughed. Soon all the girls were out there with us and we were dancing and having fun. I noticed Arin watching me intently as I danced my heart out. I grinned and turned to Val.

"Somebody's got a fan.." She winked at me. "Go make a move."

"But Johnny-"

"I can handle him." Lacey giggled. She walked back to the guys and sat on Johnny's lap almost instantly sucking face with him.

"Go." Michelle smiled.

"What if he doesn't like me?" I said thinking of the worst scenarios.

"We see the way he looks at you sweetheart. We're surprised he didn't come over here first." Gena giggled a bit.

Before I could protest Val pushed me towards him and they laughed. These girls are like cupid, I swear. I walked over to him slowly. I looked over to Johnny and he was shoving his tongue down poor Lacey's throat. I stopped in front of him and smiled.

"Having fun watching me dance?" I smirked.

"Oh I-uh- was I w-watching you? I-I'm sorry..." He stuttered.

"Your always so nervous... why is that?" I said putting my hand on his knee.

"W-well I...um.., you uh you're l-like really pretty a-and yeah..." He looked down and blushed.

I looked to the guys and they were smiling at our little conversation. I turned back to Arin and took his hand.

"Let's go to the bar. That way we don't need to worry about my brother coming back up for air." I spoke softly. Arin nodded and we cut through the dance floor and sat down on the bar stools.

"What can I get you?" The bartender said. She had long black hair and a thousand-watt smile.

"Two shots of tequila." I smiled then turned my gaze towards Arin.

"So Mr. Ilejay... why don't you tell me about yourself."

"Uh okay. I was born in Ventura, California in 88'. My dad is a professional guitarist and my mom's a gospel singer. I went to Palmdale High and before Avenged, I was in a band called Confide." He explained while reaching for the whiskey the bartender put out for us. "What about you."

"Well," I took the shot before continuing. "I was born and raised here in Huntington and became friends with the guys in the 'Waking the Fallen' days. I dropped out of Huntington High just like Johnny so I could be the guys' roadie. Before that though I was in a band called Miles From Safety."

"Really? What did you play?" Arin scooted closer to me.

"Drums and some vocals." I said proudly.

"Well you have to show me your drumming skills sometime."

"Alright. But right now I wanna get shit-faced." I said as I flagged down the bartender.

"Why don't we make it interesting?" I nodded, silently telling him to continue. "First one to stop loses."

"What happens of you win?"

"The loser has to be the winner's slave for a whole day."

"Oh you're on!" I smirked. "Keep em' coming!"

-.-

We were about 13 shots in and I could barely see straight. Arin was holding his own while I, on the other hand, was seconds away from passing out. Johnny's wasn't as crowded as before there was still a lot of people here.

"14" I slurred before downing another shot.

"I c-can't feel my toes." Arin mumbled before bursting out into laughter.

"Are y-you quitting? Is Arin a baaaaaby?" I joked while poking his cheek.

"Noo I'm not." He grabbed another shot and sucked it down. "15"

"Can we got some more shoooots?" I practically yelled at the bartender.

"Here you go." She smiled while setting down our drinks. The bartender leaned down and whispered. "He looks like he'll be out after 2 more shots."

I giggled and she walked away chuckling. "16" I put down another empty shot glass.

"Hey, you're doing secrets, you can't do secrets with other ladies!" Arin whined, picking up more whiskey.

"Yuh huh."

"Nuh uh."

"Yeah I caaaan!"

"No you caaaan't!"

"18 AND 19!" I screamed.

"Hey I wasn't paying attention!" He complained.

"It doesn't matter!" Arin pouted and I giggled at him.

"It's your turn to take the shot!"

"But I don't wanna." He whined.

"THEN I WIN!"

I shot up and started jumping up and down. I tripped on my own feet and stumbled into Arin's arms.

"I guess I'm your slave all day tomorrow?" He asked. I could feel his hot breath on my face.

I nodded slowly and bit my lip. "I love when you do that, y'know."

"When I do what?"

"When you bit your lip. It's hot." He said brushing his thumb across my lips.

I blushed deeply and he chuckled. Arin put his forehead against mine and my breath hitched. He smirked and I smashed my lips against his. The kiss quickly deepened and he ran his tongue across my lower lip and I granted him access almost instantly. Our tongues battled for dominance and he ended up winning. His hands moved down to my hips and mine moved to his shoulders. I moaned softy and he smiled against my lips. Arin slowly pulled away and I whimpered at the loss of contact.

"Woah..." Arin breathed.

"That was.. just.. wow." I giggled.

I looked back towards the guys and saw Val smiling at us. Luckily, Johnny didn't see us but Brian did. I'd have to deal with him later but right now I was in such a state of euphoria that not even Johnny could piss me off. I turned back to Arin and he was beaming.

"Please don't forget tonight." He said softly.

"I don't plan on it."

"Here." He took off his necklace and put it on me. "This way you'll remember."

I smiled at him and took off my charm bracelet. "And so will you."
