song: Take me Out, Franz Ferdinand
*Julie's POV*
We left for a small restaurant just outside the city. Carey’s a private guy, he likes to keep a low profile, especially when Anna’s around. We don’t need a scene.
The dinner went fine, which surprised me. Anna kept her composure. She was polite, she wasn’t making stupid remarks. I didn’t understand this girl, and I’ve known her for almost our whole lives. She was always a free spirit.
We got to a small club for a few drinks, dancing, you know to let loose a little. Anna needed that, I just hope she didn’t let loose too much.
We met up with a few of Carey’s fellow teammates. Lapierre, Gorges, and the Kostitsyn brothers were around too. Anna was not long getting to the bar. I did my best to keep an eye on her, but Carey stole me away for a few drinks and I got a little caught up in him before remembering about Anna.
“Shit, where’s Anna?”
“I‘m sure she‘s fine”
“You’ve never seen her when she drinks”
“How bad can it be?”
I stood up searching around the bar when I saw an unprecedented sight. Anna, on a table, hammered out of her mind, people surrounding her cheering. We stood and watched for a moment in shock. She got down and sat on the edge of the table, while Lapi immediately showed up at her side and their lips locked immediately.
“Are you seeing what I’m seeing?” I asked as Carey stood beside me. I didn’t hear a response and I looked over at him to see his mouth wide open in shock. I stepped in front of him, practically having to shut his mouth for him, “are you not going to do anything!?” I asked.
“Oh, yah, right” he said walking up to them while I followed quickly behind.
“Anna?” I said. It’s as if she never heard me and kept her lips locked to Max’s, “Anna!” I said grabbing one of her free arms and forcefully pulling her behind me and away from Max.
“Wow, you’re hot when you’re mad”
“Carey” I glared at him.
“Sorry”
“Hey!” she exclaimed.
“I think it’s time to go sweetie” I said sweetly.
“But I want to stay with Max” she slurred trying to move closer to him. I pulled her back and Carey stood in front of Max as he put his hands up in defence.
“Dude, she came on to me”
“Let’s just not let it happen again, alright?” Carey said.
“Um, Carey?” Anna was had already passed out and I was just barely holding her up.
“She’s barely awake” I said as he quickly came to my side and picked her up wedding style and out the door.
“I can’t believe she did this” he mumbled.
“I’m just as unhappy about it as you are” I sighed, “let’s just get her home”
We got to the car and I sat in the backseat as her head laid on my lap. I felt her shift and heard her groan.
“I don’t feel so good” she said wrapping her arm around her stomach.
“Seriously, if you throw up in my car--”
“Carey, can you just please drive” I snapped.
He just mumbled something to himself as he turned his head back and kept his eyes on the road, occasionally glancing in the rear-view mirror and just smiling at me.
“Watch the road” I smirked.
“Where’s Max?” I heard Anna mumble from below me.
“He’s gone Annie, we’re going home now”
“To see Ryan?”
I just looked up at Carey who had a look of shock on his face and then looked back down at Anna, “uh no sweetie…you’re not with Ryan anymore”
“Oh…I knew that” she replied, “I’m going to sleep now” she said.
She was out like a light when we got back to the apartment. Carey carried her into the apartment building and up the stairs, lightly setting her down on the couch and putting a blanket over her.
We both just sighed in unison as we collapsed on the bed.
“We’re in for a wonderful couple of weeks aren’t we?” he sighed.
“I know you’re not fond of her Carey, but do this for me please?”
“Only for you” he sighed.
“Thank you” I said as I gently kissed his lips.
--
“Holy Shit!” I heard from the other room, causing me to jump out of bed to see what happened. I slowly opened the door and went out into the living room to see Anna with her head in her hands sitting on the couch.
“You ok?”
“My head…holy hell my head”
I went to the kitchen and pulled a bottle of aspirin from the pantry and filled a glass of water up for her. I quickly made my way back to the living room and handed both to her.
“Thanks” she sighed.
“Do you remember anything that happened last night?”
“Not really…”
“Well, you danced on a table and made out with Max Lapierre…oh and you talked about Ryan on the way back…”
“Good or bad?”
“You thought you guys were still together”
“Holy shit I really must have been hammered” she said lying her head back.
“You were” I nodded.
“I’m sorry I put you through that”
“You almost threw up in my car!” I heard Carey yell from the other room.
“Carey…shut up!” I snapped.
“Did I really?” she asked.
I just nodded and she tossed a Aspirin in her mouth and chugged back the glass of water. I don’t think she was proud of herself. I didn’t blame her, but I know she has been through a lot in the past couple days.
“I am so sorry Julie. Really”
“Just relax, feel better”
I went back into the bedroom and Carey was sitting on the edge of the bed. I just sat beside him and smacked him.
“Ow, what was that for?” he whined.
“You can’t keep quiet when I’m talking to her, she feels bad enough”
“Sorry”
I just sighed, “it’s ok, I just hope one of these next few days I can get a hold of Ryan, he was the only thing that kept her together. She needs him more than she realizes”
