chapter 19 ~ spin the cup

cassie's pov

it is now 10:45. . . or 45:10? i don't know. i'm up to the point where i can't tell the time anymore. i've had quite a few drinks, but not too many! just one or two or fifteen, but i can't be sure; i don't think i can count anymore either. all i knew is that there is loud music and we have alcohol

"don't cry babe, it's okay" rye said, trying to reassure amelia as he pulled her sideways onto his lap, letting her cry into his shoulder. he cuddled her and gently stroked her hair

"but i lost my shoes!" she sobbed, clinging onto him as her tears stained his shirt

"i know babe, i'll buy you some more" he said, wiping her tears from under her eyes as she started to calm down

"hey we should play a game!" andy slurred, somehow knocking his bottle over. luckily it was empty since he'd noticeably drank it all

"what game?" brook asked as he laid on the floor, watching his feet as he kicked them around in the air

"spin the cup!" harvey shouted loudly even though we would have heard him perfectly fine

"do you mean spin the bottle?" i said, putting down the shot glass i didn't realise i had

"no it's called spin the cup!" he shouted, feeling confident with his answer

"please explain why"

"because you get a bottle, and you spin it, so it's called spin the bo- oh" he said, realising his mistake

"lets play!" andy yelled before belly flopping onto the floor. becca sat beside him, tangling their feet together once he sat up, rye brought amelia onto the ground with him, keeping his arm around her so she wouldn't start crying again and mikey and lexi leaned against his bed cuddling and being all cute. jack and harvey sat against the sofa and me and brook sat in front of the tv

we placed an empty bottle in the middle of the circle we'd created, and harvey got ready to spin it

"wiat" rye said before the bottle was spun,
"how about we change the rules" he smirked

"to what?" we asked

"so it's just normal spin the bottle, but every seventh spin the people go into mine and harvs room for seven minutes in heaven" he smirked

(a/n i haven't stole this from The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord what are you talking about? good book read it)

we all stupidly agreed to this idea as if agreeing to play spin the bottle wasn't a bad idea in the first place. i only agreed since i thought it would be funny to watch the others. it probably won't land on me anyway since there's a lot of us

harvey reached out and pushed the bottle so it spun, and then sat back as we all stared at the little glass object. it started to slow down until it landed on. . . rye

"someone's having a good time tonight" he smirked, closing his eyes and puckering his lips. amelia had somehow fallen asleep, resting her head on ryes lap so she wouldn't be able to react to him and what he was about to do

mikey leaned over to spin the bottle again, and it landed on harvey. awh that's cute, and i doubt they'll refuse to kiss

"look it landed on me! i win!" harvey jumped and shouted as if he'd won the lottery. once he'd calmed down, he looked at rye and started to lean in, pouting his lips. rye did the same until their lips met, being careful not to move to much to keep amelia in her peaceful sleep. after a few moments, their lips still hadn't parted

"they're enjoying themselves too much here" becca giggled, resting her head on andys shoulder. as she said this, they pulled away

"excuse me i love harvey" rye slurred, placing a kiss on harvey's cheek and he grinned, sitting back where he was

we spun the bottle again, starting to lose the fear of it landing on us and seeing it as a fun joke. the bottle finally stopped, pointing to lexi

"oh look, someone's gonna have to kiss me. that's unusual" she joked, gaining a laugh from us all. i noticed mikey tense up slightly, keeping his arm wrapped around her. we spun again and it landed on. . . andy. oh boi

becca sat up so she was no longer resting on andy, and bit her nails nervously. she knows lexi would never purposely kiss her crush, so i knew she wasn't exactly hurt; more of just slightly jealous that it isn't her. i could tell mikey felt the same, but possibly more jealous.

we all sat sat in silence, waiting for the action to take place. i'm sure they'd both back out of it to not hurt anyone's feelings, but we all agreed that you can only back out if the other person is the same gender and you don't feel comfortable kissing them. clearly rye and harvey were fine with it, but that's expected from all the boys.

lexi was noticeably nervous and looking anywhere but andy, so he leaned in, quickly placing a small peck on her lips before sitting back. she quickly laced her hand back together with mikeys, and andy put his arm back around becca like nothing happened.

more spins, more drinks and more kisses later we were still playing the game. there had been a kiss between brook and jack, rye and amelia (except he just kissed her cheek since she was asleep), lexi and becca but they didn't wanna kiss so we skipped it, and harvey and mikey

to be honest, i was starting to get bored. as funny as spin the bottle could be, i just wasn't in the mood for anyhting. i kinda just wanted to be home right now, but i didn't want to leave everyone else. i just sat staring off into my own world for a little while

"cassie!" someone said loudly, snapping their fingers in front of my face. everyone was looking straight at me

"huh?" i let out as a reply

"it landed on you" brook said

"what landed on m- oh" i said, realising that i'd now have to take part in this game. i surprisingly hadn't been chosen yet whereas everyone else had been

i sat waiting as the bottle spun, watching it closely to find out who is had to kiss. it started to slow down as it moved closer to- no. it can't stop. it's not gonna stop. of course. it stopped. . .

and landed on jack
