Bruce:

I knocked on the big white door with Vance and the others standing behind me.

"Ok before we go in here, griffin Billy you two are too young to drink don't take pills or anything from anyone. Got it?" Vance asked as billy and griffin shook their heads yes. 

"And Finney, Robin same for you but you two can drink I don't give a shit, just don't take random pills from people and stay out of trouble." I laughed at Vance sounding like a mom setting rules for kids at family gatherings.

"Ok "dad"we get it!" Robin said sarcastically. The door finally opened and Jake let us inside. We all quickly parted ways except for me and Vance.

"Come on V, I wanna introduce you to a friend of mine!" I said grabbing his hand and leading him over to heather.

"Who's your friend?" He said grabbing my hand back and keeping up with me.

"Oh, her names heather and we're social studies partners." 

"Wait it's a girl?" He asked with more aggression than questioning.

"Yeah what's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing let's just meet her already." He said sounding a little mad. We made it to where heather was and I introduced them to each other. 

"Heather! This is my friend I was telling you about. Heather this Vance, Vance Heather!" I said waiting to see show they'd react to each other.

"Hey, I'm Vance nice to meet you I guess." He said holding his hand out for her to shake.

"Heather." She said quickly shaking Vance's hand. Heather took her hand from Vance's and wiped it on her shirt. I hoped Vance didn't notice it because I sure did.

"Bruce?" Heather said turning to me.

"Yeah, Heather?" I said looking to Vance who looked pissed and had his arms crossed.

"Can I talk to you. Alone?" She asked.

"Uhh, yeah sure. Vance?" I said putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah?" He said looking up at me. It was clear he had a lot his mind cause he wasn't listening.

"I'm gonna go talk to Heather for minute. Will you get us a drink?" I asked.

"Yeah, sure I'll be back in a minute." He said turning on his heel and walking away disappearing into the crowd of people. Heather took my hand and took me into a room in Jakes house.

"So what's up?" I said stuffing my hands into my hoodie pocket.

"When you told me you had a friend named Vance I didn't think you meant THAT Vance!" She said loosing it.

"What difference is there? Vance is Vance there's nothing wrong with him?" I asked wondering why she was so upset.

"The difference IS Vance is a bad shit child! He's a fatherless-" I cut Heather off slapping her across the face. I unlocked the door and made my way back into the crowded living room to find Vance. I found Robin and Finney  and walked up to them quickly. If anyone knew where Vance was it would be them mainly Robin.

"Robin! Have you seen Vance? it's urgent" I asked frantically. 

"Yeah, I did he said he was gonna go for a walk and he seemed upset but wouldn't tell me what was wrong so I dropped the conversation." He said pointing to the door of the house. 

"Thanks Robin! Your a life saver." I said rushing out of the house quickly in a panic to find Vance. I went into the woods and I found him sitting a under tree. I walked up to the tree stoping a few feet beside Vance.

"You ok?" I asked playing with my fingers. He just slowly nodded his head and I sat down bringing my knees close to my face.

"Vance, I'm sorry about heather she told me some terrible things and we" I was cut off quickly by Vance.

"You don't have to do this you know." He said his voice cold.

"Do what?" I said looking up from my knee's.

"Pretend. I'm not that stupid Bruce." He said flicking his cigarette ash onto the ground rolling his eyes.

"What do you mean? I'm not pretending to be your friend Vance." I said crossing my arms.

"Oh yeah, then prove it." He said standing up with a pissed off grin on his face.

"How do you want me to prove that to you!?" I said ready to slap the stupid grin off of his face.

"Five, four, three." He said counting. I got sick of him so I grabbed his face and pressed our lips together. I pulled away after a few seconds still holding Vance's face in my hands.

"There does that paint a pretty enough picture for you?" I said furrowing my eyes. Vance turned red and started stuttering.

"I-uh, just. Shit." He said trying to find words. I rested my head in his shoulder and put my arms around his neck.

"Vance?" I said as he put his arms around my waist.

"Yeah." He asked putting his head on top of my mine and giving me a small kiss.

"I love you, but can we get the kids and go home? I'm tired as hell." I said closing my eyes. He picked me up off of the ground and wrapped my legs around his waist and we walked to the front of the house before I fell asleep.

Vance: 

I walked to the front of the house were Finney and Robin were sitting on the front porch drinking. Finney was sober but Robin sure wasn't I sighed and walked into the house to get Griffin and Billy but was stopped.

"They're not in there." Finney said resting Robin on his shoulder.

"Well where the hell are they!?" I said starting to panic. It was my responsibility for these shitheads and they're gone!.

"They left early griffin ate some funny looking food and had his mom come and get him!" Finney said laughing.

"Oh thank god. Well are you guys ready to go it's late and this one's tired." I said motioning to Bruce.

"Yeah I guess, Robins gonna have a headache like a bitch tomorrow." Finney said standing up from  the porch and throwing Robins arm over his shoulder and holding his waist so he didn't fall.

"Where we going?" Robin said looking around in his drunken state.

"Home dingus, don't start hallucinating on me." Finney said laughing a bit as Robin put his head back on Finneys shoulder.

"Awww! I wanna picture of this to make fun of you later!" I said in a high pitched voice.

"Oh shut up Vance!" Finney said turning red.

We soon walked onto robins street and bid goodbyes to each other as we walked up his front porch. "You gonna stay with him?" I asked as Finney took Robins house key out Robins pocket and twisted the door open.

"Yeah I don't want him getting hurt." Finney said smiling at a half asleep Robin.

"Ok, see ya later Finney! Thanks!" I said walking down the porch with Bruce still holding onto me.

I made it home and decided to take Bruce home with me tonight because I'd didn't  know if his parents were home or not and if he had a way in his house. I opened the door to my house and walked inside and to my room.

"Vance?" Bruce asked in a sleepy voice as I set him down on the bed.

"What love." I asked changing into a different shirt.

"Love?" He asked sitting up from the bed a bit.
