"Layne, c'mon I'm not getting any younger"

"Relax little one you can never be late to a party"

"According to everyone that's the motto, so who's party is this"

"Friend of a friend, now remember you're still not old enough to drink or take anything from anyone"

"I'll be sure to thanks" rolling my eyes at his older brother protective side

After some walking we come across a building and make way inside seeing more people as we get closer

"Smells pretty bad in here" cringing at the aroma in the air

"You'll get used to it, stay close by me please"

Following his request we stop greeting some people, then make way to the kitchen area to find other people drunker than the ones out front

"Man this could get boring really fast"

"You say that now because you can't do most the things people are doing here"

"Never imagined at 16 I'd be my brother's coat tail, I have to use the bathroom"

"Okay well since you think you can handle it I'll let you walk yourself to the bathroom. That way and straight back" pointing in the direction I try making my way without talking to anyone but see someone already standing by the door

"Aw c'mon seriously" knocking on the door hopefully that'll make them hurry

"Been standing here for already 5 minutes so I can guess what's happening on the other side"

"If I could pee the men way I would out the window or in a water bottle. How much longer do you think it'll be ?"

"Maybe a few more minutes, sounds like he's near finish" watching him put his ear to the wall

"I don't know how people do it in bathrooms sounds stupid and gross"

"When you need to release you gotta release, this isn't your type of scene is it"

"No it's not I'd probably envision a couch or bed maybe"

"I was talking bout this party"

"Oh, uh no"

Well this is awkward

"I'm Jerry"

"Y/n"

"So what are you doing here if you don't like parties"

"Came with my brother, trust me I would be home probably drawing or something"

"You're an artist that's cool, mind showing me sometime"

"Uh-

"Y/n what's taking you so long ? Hey Jerry right" Layne interrupts saving me from embarrassment again

"Yeah, you two know each other man ?"

"My little sister y/n, this is Jerry Cantrell the guy I was telling you about"

"Little how old is she ?" examining me

"16"

"Shit that's young, well nice to meet you"

"You too"

Seeing the door open finally the guy and his bathroom hook up are exiting

"Go ahead I can wait, ladies first"
