Brothers
You go to the party and have a great time. There is a slight feeling of guilt nagging at you throughout the party, but for the most part it is enjoyable.
You talk to Gwen a little, trying your best not to come off as uncomfortable and nervous as you feel. After a short and awkward conversation with her, you hang back to talk to the other guys.
Some alcohol gets passed around, but you choose not to partake, you've seen what it did to your father and you'd rather not find that you like it.
At some point in the night, Gwen wanders over in your direction, trips up a bit and falls into your arms. She laughs a little as you help her to her feet. Clearly she is drunk.
"Thanks," she says.
"No problem," you reply.
"I like you," she says. And then she leans in and plants her lips briefly on yours.
She leaves you standing there, heart throbbing and mind reeling. The rest of the party is a blur for you. Gwen avoids you, apparently embarassed by her unexpected kiss, but her eyes stray back to you every once in a while and she smiles a bit when your eyes meet.
You walk home with feet light as feathers.
You open the door to your house and see Kenny planted in front of the TV, staring blankly at the screen. You say goodnight to him and head up the stairs. He does not respond.
As you near the top of the stairs you smell smoke. At first you panic a little, thinking the house may be ablaze, but you soon realize that the scent you are picking up is that of marijuana.
It's coming from Mikey's room.
You stand there for a few moments deciding what, if anything, you should do.
