free.”
“Sounds great.”
He looked stunned “Cool, you can follow me.”
Tessa laughed as she followed Mark to his house. It was big and the basement was like a recreation room. It held a pool table, a few pinball machines, a projector screen, and a bar. Many of the cast drank, Tessa politely declin ed. She walked outside to escape the crowd for a moment and a bunch of girls where outside smoking pot.
“Want some? ” Cassidy, a girl in the play asked.
Tessa took a deep breath, “This will be a first for me but sure.”
Tessa hit the small bowl twice and walked inside with them. There was a Karaoke machine and a bunch of them were singing. Tessa was smiling and completely focused on the music, she wasn’t thinking about Toby, or Lucas, or her family, even though they were always there, the pain was always there, she was smiling and loved the disconnected feeling. Tessa and Cassidy sang together and laughed and smoked more. She had a great time.
Her phone chimed
-Hey girl where are you? We’re at your house, your Dad and Alex went on a delivery and we wanted to hang with you…Jade
-hanging with the cast, you guys should probably pick me up, lol. ..Tessa
She texted Jade the address. Jade and Phoebe pulled in and saw Cassidy and Tessa laughing and talking. Cassidy waved to them and walked into the house.
Tessa was wasted. Her eyes bright red and she was laughing hysteri cally. “Let’s go,” Jade snapped and dragged her to her truck.
Becca drove the Jeep following Jade. Tessa was singing and laughing and Phoebe laughed with her.
Jade pulled in to the gas station , Becca followed her and parked behind her. Tommy and Lucas were getting gas. Tessa laughed and hung out the window.
“Hey boys, what’s up ?” she yelled and laughed. Phoebe pulled her back in.
“Tommy -- what the hell is wrong with her?” Jade asked.
“I don’t know pretty girl. Lucas go see what’s up with her,” Tommy kissed Jade.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” Lucas put the gas cap on and hung the nozzle on the pump.
“Come on Lucas, she isn’t drunk, I don’t know what’s wrong with her,” Jade pleaded.
Lucas walked over and tapped on the window, Tessa looked at him and smirked, turned away, and started laughing. He opened the door.
“Hello Tessa,” Lucas said coolly. “Jade wants to know what you’ve been doing.”
Tessa turned and looked at him, and pulled her shades down, “Well first I went to rehearsal, then to Pizza Boy’s house,” she tried not to laugh, “Then well I sang and had fun and danced and well I didn’t cry tonight.”
“That’s nice Tessa but what shit did you do? Did you drink, do pills, or smoke something?” Lucas demanded.
“D. N one of the above,” Tessa laughed. “I shot up,” she whispered and laughed harder.
“Get out,” Lucas demanded.
“Not happening,” Tessa laughed.
He grabbed her and dragged her to his SUV.
“Tommy ride with Jade,” he said and before she could get out he buckled her seat belt and pealed out of the driveway.
“Where does that little fuck live?” Lucas asked.
“Seriously, I’m not telling you, and by the way I think it was awfully nice of them to share with me,” Tessa laughed, “Notice I said... I think it was nice that they shared WITH me and not share me?”
Lucas pulled over on a dirt road.
“Let me have your phone , Tessa,” he demanded.
“Let me out, buzz kill,” she laughed as she tried to open the locked door.
“I can call Alex and I will if you don’t give me the address to that party Tessa!”
“Listen I didn’t sho ot up silly boy,” she slapped him lightly on the face and then grabbed his chin, “I smoked, and I like it. And I can guarantee I’ll do it again,” she laughed.
“Don’t fucki ng lie to me Tessa!”
“Lie? To you? Never Lucas!” she started laughing.
He was furious, “What’s so funny? I’ve never lied to you!”
“Please take me back to my pr ison. Apparently I don’t
