BEWARE C.G.

29. Party Hard pt.2

Carl Francis Hasish Gallagher was in the corner of Bella's living room, making out with Dominique Winslow. Meanwhile, Bella Leticia Zambada-García stood in the kitchen-her head tilted back as a boy from school poured a shot into her mouth. The music was so loud that the teens could hardly think, it was that or the alcohol at least. The tan girl yelled out in excitement, chugging some juice she put in a cup as a chaser. To say that she and Carl were having fun would be an understatement. The two of them were drunk off their asses and had no intentions of stopping, they had coerced Dominique into having one drink but since then she had just been watching everything fold out in front of her. It seemed that she was missing out to the point where Dominique Winslow felt jealous-a word which was not in her vocabulary but as she watched her boyfriend hug his best friend with a grin on his face, while everyone sang happy birthday she couldn't help but feel that he'd forgotten all about her. Even as they made out, across the house from Bella she kept the thought in the back of her mind.

Carl and Bella have a bond she would never understand. No one at school understood the two, at first everyone thought they were cousins but soon it was obvious that they were 'dating'. Then he went to jail and Bella got a boyfriend but cheated on him with Carl, so what did that make them? Now Bella was single and Carl was with Dominique-it was a complicated thing to everyone who knew them; considering the fact that the two had the same friends they were constantly bombarded with questions about the nature of their relationship but they would only hear the same thing.

"We're just friends"

It was bullshit and the two of them knew it. Even as Bella was surrounded by boys in the kitchen, she found a few seconds to breathe and spotted her best friend with his lips attached to Dom and she felt a twang in her heart. Bella stood quietly, sniffling her nose and wiping one of her eyes carefully as not to smudge her eye makeup before turning around to fake a smile. "Another shot!" She giggled, high fiving one of the girls from her P.E. Class-the girls doing a 'cheers' before downing the bitter liquid. And no one noticed when Bella's face dropped once again because she realized no amount of alcohol would get her mind off of Carl fucking Gallagher.

Dominique pulled away, her hand grabbing ahold of the collar of Carl's shirt. "Wanna go upstairs?" She whispered softly, brushing her thumb against Carl's lip as his eyes were directed somewhere else. "Carl!" She scolded.

"Huh?" He mumbled and immediately knew he fucked up by the look on her face. "Im sorry baby" He slurred, rubbing his eyes. "Im really fucked up"

"You don't wanna go up to Bella's room?" Dom giggled seductively and his eyebrows furrowed.

"Why the hell would I fuck you in Bella's room?" The Gallagher asked in confusion and once again regretted his words. Especially when he heard the words Dominique had to say next. 

"Well you've already had sex in there so what's the big deal?" His girlfriend argued back and it took everything in him to not roll his eyes.

"She's letting us stay in the guest room! Let's just do it in there!" He slightly raised his voice and that was when she shook her head, with a cross of her arms.

If she wasn't mad before she definitely was now. She didn't even know what to say, what to think as she tapped her foot angrily at her boyfriend. Then she took a deep breath in and smiled much to the surprise of Carl. "Get me a drink" She ordered and Carl nodded immediately, going over to the kitchen where Bella was and she watched as he mumbled something to his best friend. Bella looked up at Dominique, immediately looking down when she noticed that the girl was staring right at her.
