Chaotic ~ Bryce Parker

Chapter 8

I get up from Bryce's lap in the moment and he looks at me.

"Tate? Where are you going?" 

"Abbie is fucking here. Why the fuck is she in New York?"

"Cause I invited her." 

"Why the fuck did you invite her here Ace?"

"Karma's a bitch isn't it Tate?"

"Ace leave her alone." 

Bryce stands up. 

"Ace tell her to leave."

Kristian begins backing Bryce and I up.

"You're on their side?" 

I walk over to Abbie.

"Well, Well, Well..."

"What did you get bored of sitting alone in your basement stoned?" 

"At least my conversations get tossed around."

"So you're not denying that you were stoned?"

"Shut the fuck up Tate!"

"Well we all know you've got a set of loose lips. Over here twisting stories all because your jealous. You act like I haven't seen your instagram." 

"Well now I know exactly what your up to."

"Girl! You're such a backstabber it isn't even funny. But your also a shit talker. And every single fucking person on this planet knows it." 

"Well maybe you should shut your mouth, cause all you do is run your mouth." 

Bryce walks over to me.

Abbie goes silent. 

"Hey Tate, are you okay?" 

"Yeah I'm fine, there's just one thing I have to do before we leave." 

I walk up to the karaoke booth.

"Tate! Are you gonna publicly humiliate someone?"

"That's one way of putting it."

( Song: Looking At Me- Sabrina Carpenter )

Bryce sits back down next to Kristian and starts laughing to himself.

"What?"

"I like her so much dude." 

"Then tell her that."

"I can't."

"Why can't you? She obviously likes you too." 

" Tate: Did I catch your attention? You look like you've lost your breath. When I circle the room, you're an owl, you gon' twist your head. Don't you come at me green with an attitude, where my lips and my soles are at. If I leave you behind you can look for the broken necks."

Suddenly, the crowd started chanting my name. I look at Bryce and Kristian who are also chanting.

" Tate: 'Cause I've been here once or twice. Never worry about the eyes. Come on. Don't just stand there staring, honey. Try to move your feet. If you think they're looking at you. They're looking at me. I can make it nice and easy. I'ma take the lead. They ain't even looking at you baby. They're looking at me. "

I finish the song and run over to Bryce and Kristian.  I hug Bryce. Tight. 

"Fuck, one drink has killed me. I'm just letting out everything tonight so I'm just gonna say it."

"Say what?"

"I fucking love you Bryce."

"What?"

"I might be drunk as hell, but I love you. I know we aren't even dating, or are we? I don't fucking know, but I love you." 

"Real sweet, but I wish you were sober."

Bryce takes my hand. 

"Alright, I think your mom is here." 

"Okay one thing."

I grab one of the plane tickets and walk over to Ace. 

"Hey look, You can find your own way home." 

I tear his ticket in half. Everyone's mouths hang open.

"Well let's go. What are you guys waiting for?"
