Burn It Down

A couple hours later we found ourselves at the club Jax, when Matt said that it was a dance club, he was not joking! There were people everywhere; girls in skimpy clothes, guys in “cool” clothes like Hawaiian shirts left open with a long white sleeved shirt underneath. I shook my head as I surveyed the area. “Ready for your first shot?” Johnny asked smirking.
I raised an eyebrow at him, “What is it Christ?”
He got a wide shit eating grin as he passed out a blood red shot to each of us, “Bottoms up.”
We each took our respective shot, everyone making a face except for Johnny and Me. I grinned wide, “God damn Johnny, that was delicious!”
He winked at me, “That dear Em, was a red-headed slut.”
I giggled and smirked, “Nice choice there buddy.”
Matt handed us the next one which looked amber gold, smelled of cinnamon and I instantly licked my lips, seeing a couple of the guys (mainly Zacky, Brian, and Jason) watch me intensely. “Here’s to your 21st babygirl,” Matt smiled and toasted.
Again we all downed our shots and a round of coughing came and went from everyone. “God damn Shads, was the Goldschlagger?” Brian asked as we all slammed our shot glasses back on the tray.
Matt smiled sheepishly as I picked up my pretty blue green drink and took a sip letting the sweet pineapple rum taste take over. I closed my eyes letting out a soft moan. “What’s that?” Zacky asked nodding at the drink.
“A Liquid Marijuana,” I grinned at him. He moved closer and I handed him the cup so he could try it.
He tried it and made a face, “Fuck that’s sweet.”
I laughed and nodded going back to drinking it, a few moments later was done with it. “Fuck we got a fish!” Matt Berry announced to the group and I blushed.
“Shut up Matt!” I glared at him.
“SHOTS!” Jimmy yelled bringing over a tray of 32 shots. He handed us each two, one with Kahlua and one with lime juice.
“Alright minion, for this one take the Kahlua into your mouth but don’t swallow yet, then add the lime juice and swish it around before you swallow,” Jimmy smiled evilly as I did as I was told.
I took the Kahlua in my mouth and then the lime juice, as I swished it around it became thick and curdled. I swallowed before I could gag as the others handled theres with no emotion shown on their faces. I coughed after that, making a sour looking face, “What the fuck was that?!”
All the guys laughed at me and I knew they’d just played a prank on me, “That, my dear little sister, was a cement mixer,” Mattie told me putting on one of his million dollar dimpled smiles with an ornery look in his eye. “It’s a common prank that more experienced drinkers pull on the young ones.”
The next one Jimmy handed us was in a big neon cup, there was a light colored liquid in the center divot with a light yellow liquid in the larger part. We toasted these and then downed them and all of us smiled after that one, “Fuck that was good Jimmy,” I commented as he smiled.
“Hypnotic and monster,” he grinned then passed out the final shot which was amber in color.
We again toasted then shot back the Jack Daniels whiskey shot. I felt the burn all the way down to my stomach. I smiled and looked towards the dancefloor as ‘Pornstar Dancing’ came on the club sound. I cheered and grabbed Brian’s arm out to the dancefloor, as he was my normal dance partner. Immediately we started dancing, I started shaking my hips, my arms up in the air and dragged them down into my hair and down my neck then felt Brian’s hands on my waist from behind.
He pulled me close as we started grinding to the rhythm of the song and singing along his head was right next to mine, his fedora maybe an inch above my head. I smirked and kissed his cheek as the song ended. He grinned as we were joined by the others. I saw Matt talk to Brian and he didn’t look that pleased, I rolled my eyes and danced with Jimmy as Rihanna came on the speakers.
As the beat of ‘Disturbia’ broke out Jimmy and I danced to the beat him all hyper and crazy like and me just mainly moving my body as Zacky moved up with the Berry’s around me, before I knew it, I had a circle of friends and protection and we all were dancing our hearts out. They played some more rock where we would jump around, which in heels of course proved problematic, especially when the alcohol hit. I almost rolled my ankle and moved back to the table needing to take a break. I had a wide smile on my face as I sat down. Tonight was literally the best night ever.
“What can I get you toots?” the waitress asked as she came over to the table, “Uhm, can I get 8 more of the monster hypnotiq shots and a Malibu dr. pepper?”
“Be right back,” She nodded and smiled.
I smiled and took out my phone looking at the missed messages, ‘Happy Birthday, hope you’ll come back and forgive me.’ I rolled my eyes at Scott’s attempt to get me to speak with him again. “You alright?”
I looked up and saw Zacky looking at me, “Yeah, I’m good.” I smiled putting my phone away as the waitress came back. “Thanks Doll,” I smiled at her and handed her a 50. “Keep the change.”
Zacky shook his head and pushed my money away, “This is on me,” he nodded at the waitress. “Keep the change,” he winked at her.
She smiled, “Thanks hon. Let me know if y’all need anything else.”
We nodded as the guys looked over at us, “SHOTS!” I yelled at them smirking as they came running over.
“Fuck, you’re just trying to get us fucked up,” Brian teased as they each took their shots.
I giggled, “No more than what you fuckers have done tonight.” We toasted and took our shots and I closed my eyes almost mewing after swallowing.
“Keep making that noise and people will get the wrong idea, Little Shads,” Johnny winked at me.
I laughed, “Shut up Johnny.” I smiled and sipped my Malibu and Dr. Pepper. The guys grabbed a new drink, most of them getting either Guinness or jack and cokes. We all headed back out to the dance floor as ‘Bad Girlfriend’ came on. I grinned and grabbed Zacky’s hand pulling him to the dancefloor. We both half danced, half head-banged as he played air guitar. I moved closer to him and we danced a bit steamier with some face to face grinding, the alcohol hitting both of us harder. I bit my lip smiling at him then felt some one push into me.
I instantly fell into Zacky who gratefully caught me, “Hey watch it dude!” Zacky yelled at the guy who had ran into me.
“Tell your slut to stay out of the fucking way,” the guy slurred back at us as he turned away from us facing his friends again who were laughing.
Immediately I saw my brother moving towards the guy, “Hey buddy, what’d you just call my sister?”
“You mean the slut?” the guy turned around. “Look, it’s not my fucking fault she was in the fucking way. Maybe she should lose weight, she looks like a whale.”
Instantly Matt was joined by the other guys who stood in front of me. “You want to go motherfucker?” Jimmy said dangerously low.
The guy and his friends stacked up against the others. I instantly moved towards Matt and Jimmy grabbing their arms. “Guys, come on, it’s not worth it. He’s not worth it. Please? Let’s not ruin tonight.”
“This fucker owes you an apology, Em” Matt stated not moving his eyes from the punk ass blonde mama boy.
“I don’t owe your whore shit unless she wants more D,” the guy said grabbing his junk. I scoffed in disgust. Unfortunately that was it, I couldn’t hold the guys back anymore. Matt and the other guys were on them like white on rice. The other guys didn’t stand a chance as I screamed at them to stop. Finally I got through to the Berry’s and Zacky who helped pull Matt, Brian, Johnny, and Jimmy back.
“Time to go,” The Berry’s stated as we finally got the others out of the club just as the Bar Tenders yelled, “LAST CALL”.
