The speaker's bass boomed against Stephen's ear drums and he briefly wondered why he had been talked into coming when he had his own beer in the dorm. In his hand, a full cup of liquor swishes round and round. His eyes glance from person to person. Some girl had invited him though she was far too busy with some other chicks to notice him now. One corner of his mouth twitched upward into a half smile as he chugged the remaining vodka into his mouth and swallowed. Time for another. He thought and soon began moving in and out of the surrounding strangers. Tossing his cup onto the already overflowing heap of trash, his focus returns to getting another. His sight locks onto a table a couple feet away with people crowding around almost more so than on the dance floor. He eventually made it to the table and grabbed one of the drinks sitting in his reach. When he looks back a familiar face catches his eye. "Clark??"

Clark Somers


The party had so far, not impressed him. Eyeing the assorted drinks on the table, he poured himself a gin and cranberry. Behind him a voice spoke up, his name escaping the person's lips. Clark turned to find Stephen standing with a drink in hand, "Stephen?" he said with a gentle smile. "It's nice to see you again" he complimented, unsure whether to hug him or simply shake Stephen's hand. He opted for the latter, sticking out his hand. "Have you been well?" he asked.


 
Stephen gave a grin as he watched Clark stick out his hand. Taking it and pulling the guy to him in a friendly hug, Steph stepped back afterwards still grinning. "You as well and I've been doin' alright. Nothing a little alcohol couldn't fix." He flashed a smile and sipped at his cup. "What about you? I haven't heard one word from you over the break, you had me worried." Another sip.


(Sorry my posts are shorter!)

He chuckled as the taller man hugged him, Clark stepped back from the hug and smiled. "Something happen buddy?" he asked, worried for his friend. Clark sipped his drink, "I'm not too bad. Yeah.. I'm sorry about that, Stephen.. there was some trouble with my brother. He had to go back to hospital, it's been a bit of stressful break" he shrugged chugging more of his drink. "It's weird I feel like I've come back here to relax" he laughed, trying not to let his emotions get the better of him.


(Don't be sorry! :3 They are still great!)
 
Steph shrugged his shoulders not too eager to share the news. "Nothing to worry yourself with." As he listened on to hear about his friend's time off he was glad to have declined the chance to tell about his own personal issue. "Dude..that's aweful..of course you don't need me to tell you that but I'm sorry. You know I'm here though, right?" His words were sincere, the previous school year had been rough for Stephen after finding out about his own father's decline in health but never-the-less Clark had been there to help him study through the finals. "This is probably the first time you've gotten away from all of that so yeah, it's a break of sorts." He took another gulp from the cup while looking around a bit. There were a lot of new faces.


(You're too kind! But thanks ^-^)

Clark Somers


"I know, and thank you.. really" he said, smiling at Stephen. "You're a good friend" he said, "you know that I'm here for you too. Right? Whenever you need me, for whatever you need.. don't hide out from the world like last year. I'm here for you" he gave a genuine smile, placing a hand on Stephen's forearm. He chugged some more of his drink, "how's your dad been doing?" he asked, focusing on Stephen.


( That's alright :3 @ShadedRose )
 
Finishing off his drink and setting the cup down to refill it, he looked back at his friend and smiled at the response given. "Anytime, man." Picking the now re-filled cup from the table and putting it up to his mouth, he pauses. "I know and it's good to have someone like that, you're one of a kind!" The smile on Clark's face was enough to make most of Stephen's troubles disappear. A reassurance that even the shittiest of circumstances wouldn't take him down. Steph's own smile slowly dissipated with Clark's question. "Oh, uh..he's alright. Out of the hospital since last month." He smiled easily and looked down into the cup for a moment. "His..sentence was stretched out further...apparently the bitch charged him with rape and it's just now being sorted out.." He trailed off, the bitch being his mother of course had been so wrapped up in her own lies that she was saying all kinds of crap to the cops. It was funny how when she said all of this not a single person stood up for his father. Shaking his head, Steph finally let out a long sigh. "He's sentenced to life in prison with no hope for parole." He'd need a few more drinks before the nights up.

He waited for Stephen to finish, forgetting his own problems with the horrors of his friends. Clark stepped forward and hugged Stephen, resting his head against the taller man's chest. "I'm so sorry, Stephen.. I don't know what else to say, or what I can do" he sighed and released Stephen from the hug. "So how's about we get wasted and forget about the shit going on in ours... all the bad stuff, just leave it behind. Get drunk and make bad choices together" he suggested picking up a fresh cup filled with alcohol, by now he didn't care what that might be. Clark held the cup up for Stephen to clink his against it, he hoped his friend didn't see him as shallow for thinking of such an idea.. but for now that was the only thing that Clark could see that would help him. And hopefully help Stephen, even if it was only for a night.
 
Stephen finished his spill and felt slightly less, well, upset. It also made the situation real in some way; his father was in jail for the rest of his life but right now he didn't want to think about it. He wanted to start the new college year off right. Or at least by having a good time. When Clark stepped forward and hugged him his smile returned to his lips. It was the best feeling to have an awesome friend like this. Hugging him back, they let go at the same time and Steph listened to his friend's proposal. Grinning, Steph has no objections what-so-ever. "Deal." The thought of them getting wasted and making bad decisions led him to his choice. "To bad decision making!" The brunette smirked and raised his own cup to meet Clark's. Between the alcohol and sucky home lives it seemed best to wash it all away with the alcohol. As soon as the cups clinked, he brought his back and gulped the majority down. It wasn't long before his cup was full yet again.

Throwing back the drink he grabbed another and another, Clark was ready to forget everything to simply let go even just for the night. He was glad it was with Stephen they'd become close last year.. in the back of his mind a nagging voice warned him about getting too drunk around the guy he liked. To say it hadn't been the first thing he noticed when they met would be a lie, Stephen was good looking and getting to know him Clark realised he was just as great on the inside as the out. Picking up another drink he gestured with it to the dance floor, "let's dance badly.. Poor decision one, dance like no one is watching" he rambled with a laugh before wandering towards the dance floor. He glanced back at Stephen "come on" he laughed dancing to a song he djdnt even know.
 
Nick watched as Olivia reached for his hand just before she fell asleep. He gently took it, showing no signs of letting go as he leaned forward, kissing her temple gently. He said nothing, moved nowhere. At that moment, his sole purpose was to be there for her.


@BasicallyMe


Zoe smiled widely at the offer and nodded happily, quickly getting over Adam stealing her food. "As long as you promise not to steal my food," she said with a grin as she threw the empty plate in the trash, debating on whether or not to get another drink. Deciding against it, she instinctively grabbed his wrist and pulled him with her before letting go. "I don't know what's taking you so long."


@XxKaraxX
 

Adam laughed a bit and nodded, "Fine, fine, I won't steal your food... Not right now anyway." Adam says with a playful grin as Zoe grabs his hand and pulls him to the exit of the rooftop.

The brunette shook his head and laughed some more, "Do you even know where you're going," Once out of the exit Adam began to lead them, "So, first thing."

Adam took her to all of his little places he would be in the city, taking a walk on the high line and exploring different areas of the city that people wouldn't normally go, seeing different types of beautiful views of the city.

Around the end of the night they ended up at a cute little ice-cream shop eating some ice-cream.

"So, how did you like your little tour of New York City so far?" Adam asks as he takes a bite of his ice-cream then smiling at Zoe.

(Hope you don't mind, I made it a little bit of a quick montage... So it wouldn't take forever to go place to place to place.)

With every passing drink another bit of Stephen's worry was swept to the back corners of his mind. It felt right being with his closest friend while getting shit faced. No way would he have done it with anyone else. The alcohol was starting to help him loosen up. The music taking his mind away even if all he was truly listening to was the beat. His head tilted back downing yet another cup of liquid keeping up with Clark's own drownings. A grin crept onto his face as he looked first at Clark then at the dance floor. His better judgement would have quickly voted against it but right now he couldn't care less about anything but having a good time. He grabbed a new cup then goes after his friend, some of the alcohol sloshing out of the cup and onto his clothes. "I'm comin'." Going to him and sipping at his drink, Steph started dancing along. The music didn't sound familiar so he made up his own. Singing loudly, he would occasionally pause to laugh and chug more of the drink. "Bad decision two, sing like you're the next Adele." His laughter nearly makes him spit up a lungful of vodka though he refrains and goes back to singing. Even if he didn't remember much from this night, the feeling of absolute joy would remain with him.

Throwing back the last of one drink he tossed it aside, singing as loudly as Stephen. He chuckled as his favourite song blared out over the speakers, "I just wanna feel your body on me" he sang, "if you want it then you got it on me". Clark span around, dancing somewhat provocatively, he didn't care. He felt free, bad decisions he reminded himself. Clark grabbed Stephen's forearm pulling him nearer, "bad decisions!" he slurred chugging the last of his other drink. Turning his back to Stephen, he danced against him, laughing and singing still. Whatever he would remember, whatever he wouldn't, it didn't matter right now. He was free, free of worry, pain, of thinking. Clark acted and thought later, tonight was about being free. The song changed another Clark knew well, "I love this song" he muttered, jumping away from Stephen, dancing and returning to him, he grabbed Stephen's hand dragging him to the middle of the dance floor. "I wanna hear you callin' my name like hey mama, mama, mama, mama, hey, mama" he sang at the top of his lungs breaking into dance again. Clark stumbled to the side, chuckling. His eyes scanned the crowd of people dancing around them, no one he recognized bar Stephen, stood before him. "More bad decisions" he said, "more!" he laughed waiting for a suggestion from Stephen.


@ShadedRose
 
It was all a crazy, adrenaline filled blur. Clark was singing with him, their words somehow syncing and slurring in unison. Stephen had to break from the song and laugh up at the sky before continuing to drink up what was left in his cup. The lights, the people, the music, everything was great. "Bad decisions!" Throwing his emptied cup into the air, he started singing along, dancing with Clark and not seeming to realize how close they were. It didn't matter, anyway. Stephen smiled and opened his mouth to sing along. He liked the song as well and was damn sure to hit all the notes and sound fantastic as he goes. He sang the song with a smile on his face then once it was over he looked at Clark with a wide smirk. "More? Hmmm.." Steph looks around them obviously trying to think hard of a new choice. He suddenly snapped back around with his smirk returning. He had an idea. "All right!" Liking the idea, or rather too drunk to think it as outrageous, he grabbed Clark's hand and pulled him through the crowd of students. Once on the outskirts he leads them to a slightly elevated area and steps up to where he can see everyone better. "Now! Choose the person you're into and go out there and make a move." He said all of this while looking at Clark with a huge, childish smile. His words were mixing together a bit but he figured that his message was delivered and stared out across the sea of people. If they were making bad decisions why not get Clark to hit on his crush? "Do you accept??" Stephen turned to face him and leaned forward to see his face with a mischievous look on his own.

The singing and dancing was ceased when Stephen took his hand, Clark's face went warm and red. He stumbled after Stephen and they stopped outside of the crowd, glancing at the people. Swallowing deeply at Stephen's suggestion, he finally spoke "what if they're not in the crowd?" he asked. Clark looked at Stephen, bad decisions he reminded himself, he took Stephen's hand. "Don't hate me" he muttered and placed a kiss on Stephen's lips, taking a step back. Bad decisions, he reminded himself, taking a shaky breath he glanced away. "Oh f*ck" he didn't allow Stephen time to react, stepping away, he apologized. "I'm sorry.."
 
"What do ya mean?" Stephen was confused by the given response and scrunched his face while glancing back to everyone there. He was pretty sure that most all of the students were here on the rooftop. Looking back as his hand was taken into Clark's his brows raised up. "I couldn't ha-" He was cut short at warmth against his lips and immediately felt a bit upset when it left. He looked at Clark as he stepped back but Stephen didn't speak right away. He actually smiled. "Dude, it's okay! I like you too, why else would I be your best friend?!" It didn't seem to have registered fully what the kiss meant, he was too far gone by this point. "Man, this party is fucking awesome..I'm glad you're here." He brushed off Clark's apology and grabbed a couple drinks from two fellow drunks and handed one to him. "To awesome friends!" He raised up his drink and instead of putting it to his mouth to drink he dumps it onto himself laughing.


@blueeyess
 
Zoe shook her head a bit as she laughed. "Off the roof," she answered simply before allowing him to lead them around the city. She took in all the sounds and sights, realizing that aside from the location, it really wasn't much different from Paris. The views were absolutely incredible and it made her wonder why she had never gone sightseeing before. By the end of the night, she found herself in a small ice cream shop, eating some cookies and cream ice cream. Looking up at Adam's question, she smiled widely and nodded. "It was amazing. I had no idea there was so much stuff to see," she said happily as she took another bite. "But I am terribly sorry for what happened on nine eleven. It must have been horrible for all those people," she pointed out before looking at the time. "The Statue of Liberty was amazing as well."


@XxKaraxX


((It's perfectly fine and I'm back!!!!))
 

Adam took another bite of his chocolate ice-cream and then nodded, "What happened on nine eleven was tragic. Thankfully none of my family was in the buildings when it happened, my uncle took a sick day off that day." Adam glanced out the window then back at Zoe, "I remember when it happened so well." Adam sighed then quickly his face turned into a smile at Zoe's comment, "Oh yeah. I love the statue of liberty. The view from the top of it is just beautiful."

Confused by Stephen's reply, he took the drink involuntarily but didn't drink it, lost in thought. "To friends" he said, still looking away.


"I.. I think I'm gonna go" he said, throwing the drink aside, Clark took steps back and away from Stephen. "I... um, I.. just.. not, just not feeling great" he stumbled with his words as the alcohol continued to kicked in, but it was still obvious he was lying. Clark continued to move back and stumbled, falling onto his bottom. "I think its.. that's enough bad decisions" he rambled.

"I guess that was pure luck," she said softly as she looked at him with a shocked expression. "Wait...you've been at the top? Your kidding," Zoe said, suddenly excited. In all honesty, ever since she moved, she had wanted to go up to the top but had never been. "What's it like?" She asked as she tilted her head a bit.


@XxKaraxX
 

Adam laughed a bit at her shocked expression, "Wait, you've never been to the top?" Adam set down his plastic spoon, "I would of thought anyone who moved from another country would of went to go up the statue of liberty." Adam bit his lip then spoke, "I'll keep that in mind that you've never been to the top." He winked then took a bite of his ice cream.

"Well, its very magical. Just like a really amazing view." @JaneXJeff​
 
Zoe felt herself blush a bit when he winked at her, but took a bite of her ice cream rather than saying a word until she came up with an excuse. "I don't know why. I just haven't," she said with a small shrug as she finished her ice cream. "This whole place is magical," she said, just now becoming aware of how her voice was slurring a bit. She was buzzed, but not too bad. Just enough to be a little more outgoing. "You wanna know what I think?"

His laughter slowed to an exhaled breath as he looked back at Clark. Tilting his head, he watched as Clark retreated from him. "Done already?" He asked and stepped toward him. "Clark," as he stumbled backwards Stephen quickly closed the space and helps him up. "Hey, careful.." Even with the alcohol in his veins and clouding his mind from fully processing most activities done up to now Stephen was worried over Clark's safety. "If sure I'll go with you, can't be having you get lost." His words jumbled up again making his senses weaker and weaker. It was a miracle that he could even see straight after drinking so much.


@blueeyess
 

Adam thought it was cute how she was blushing, but didn't want to point anything out, he wasn't like that... mostly.

The brunette raised his eyebrow, leaned in a bit and rested his chin on the palms of his hand and smirked, "What?" @JaneXJeff​
