~Chapter 4~ "Ok Holly, how does this outfit look?"  asked Lori.  She was wearing a light blue top and a long blue skirt. "Fine."  Holly said as she cooked. "Fine?  just fine?"  Lori questioned.  "You know what can I borrow your light purple dress?  You know the one with the slit in the side?" "Sure.  I don't care."  Holly answered as she continued cooking. "Aren't you gonna change into something nice?  I mean everyone else is gonna look nice."  Lori asked. "Yeah, I'll change later."  Holly said.  "Now set the tables outside and turn on the pool lights.  Shit!  It's already 6:45.  They'll be coming *ding dong* any minute." "I'll get the door you go change."  Lori said walking to the door.  The first people to arrive were Nick and his girlfriend, Brian and his girlfriends, Kevin, and Amanda. "Hi Lori!  Sorry if we're early."  Amanda apologized. "Oh that's ok.  Everything's ready, except Holly.  She's upstairs changing."  Lori said. "Hmm...D and AJ aren't here."  Kevin said.  "I thought they would be the first ones here......Ow!!"  Amanda had stepped on Kevin's foot. "Why would they be the first ones here?"  Holly asked as she came down the stairs. "Oh....uh...nothing."  Kevin said.  "We'll just go outside and wait for dinner to start."  As soon as everyone else stepped outside Amanda walked back inside to talk to Holly and Lori. "Holly why are you wearing that?"  Amanda asked pointing to her dress, that was very short. "It was the only thing in my closet that was nice,"  Holly answered.  "Plus I let Lori barrow my purple dress." "Amanda do you know something we don't know about Howie and AJ?"  Lori questioned.  "Because I know you wouldn't keep secrets from us, except for Kevin." "No I don't know anything about them.  And if I did I would tell you."  Amanda said. *Ding dong*  Holly and Lori looked at each other and screamed together,  "I'll get it!"  They ran to the door pushing each out out of the way,  Lori managed to push Holly over the couch so she could answer the door. "Hi guys!  Welcome to our humble home."  Lori said directing Howie and AJ into the house. "Here, we brought you guys some flowers for inviting us."  AJ said handing some flowers to Lori. "Oh thank you.  You didn't have to."  Lori said.  "Holly get off the floor!" "Well I wouldn't be on the floor if you hadn't pushed me,"  Holly yelled getting up. "Here, these are for you."  Howie said as he handed Holly the flowers.  Holly took the flowers and said, "Thank you they're very beautiful."  Holly then walked off into the kitchen to put the flowers in a vase and then get the food ready. "You guys can go in the backyard and wait for dinner to start, while I get drinks for everyone."  Holly said as she filled glasses ---------- Dinner went well.  Everyone enjoyed the food.  Howie got to find out a lot about Holly and the same goes with AJ and Lori. "Lori, I would like to know."  AJ started to ask.  "Will you go out with me?" "Oh my god!  Of course!"  Lori shouted getting up to hug and kiss AJ.  Everyone clapped and congratulated them. ~Great I'm the only one single again.~  thought Holly looking at the new couple. ---------- After awhile everyone was gone except Holly, Howie, AJ, and Lori. "You know, you remind me of someone, I don't know who, but you remind me of someone.  I don't know who, but you remind me of someone."  Lori's said as she tried to walk inside. "I know Lori."  Holly said as she directed Lori to the couch. "Howie!  Bring AJ in here by Lori on the couch!"  Holly shouted outside. "Ok!"  Howie answered  "Come one AJ let's go this way."  AJ came running (well if you call it running) right into the glass sliding door.  AJ slid down while Howie came running to help him up.  AJ got up and ran in the house, running into the couch and then finally sat down next to Lori. "How are you honey?"  AJ asked.  Lori looked around the room and then said.  "I'm not honey, I'm.......I'm......I don't know who I am, do you?"  Howie walked over by Holly who was digging around in the cabinets. "Exactly how much did they drink?"  Howie asked. "Oh I think about 5 large mud slides each."  Holly answered still looking, "Ha!  Found it!"  Holly shouted holding a camcorder. "What do you plan to do with that?"  Howie asked watching Holly record AJ and Lori, "Shh!!  I wanna be able to hear them!"  Holly whispered.  "This way Lori can see what happens when she gets drunk." "Wow!  What's her name is holding a....what is it?.....Oohhh a blinking light!"  Lori suddenly exclaimed. "Her name is Howie.  And that guy is Holly.  And Howie is holding....I don't know.  I'll tell you tomorrow.  Goodnight!"  AJ said as he passed out on the couch. "Goodnight Jimmy."  Lori shouted and passed out also.  Holly and Howie carried AJ out to Howie's car.  Then they left without saying anything to each other ~He acts weird around me.  I wonder why?~  Holly though as she covered Lori with a blanket and headed to her room. ~Chapter 5~ The next day as Holly came down the steps, she heard Lori talking to herself. "Ow!  My head hurts!  Why Am I on the couch?  And why am I still in this dress?"  Lori tried to get up, but fell right back down on the couch. Ding, dong!  ~Now who could that be?~  Holly thought as she answered the door.  Amanda rushed in the door from the pouring rain nearly knocking Holly over. "Hi Lori, Hi Holly.  Sorry I didn't call but I need to know what happened after I left."  Amanda said making herself at home. "Yeah Holly, what exactly happened last night?"  Lori agreed.  Holly walked over to the camcorder and took out the tape.  Then she put it in the vcr and pressed play. ---------- After the video, Lori just sat there in silence.  All you could hear was Amanda laughing at Lori. "Shut up Amanda!  Like you've never done anything stupid!"  Lori yelled. "I've never been drunk."  Amanda said between laughs.  Lori got up off the couch in disgust. "Yeah, well I'm not single anymore."  Lori said to Holly as she passed. "Eww!  Haven't you heard of a tic-tac?"  Holly asked waving her hand infront of her face. "How bad is my breath?"  Lori asked trying to smell it. "Bad enough to peal paint off a house."  answered Amanda getting up to use the phone. "What do you think your doing?"  Holly asked Amanda, who was busy dialing. "Calling the guys over for lunch."  Amanda said. "What?!"  Holy and Lori shouted together. "They can't come over now."  Holly argued.  "I'm still in my pajamas."  Amanda hung up the phone and said, "Sorry they're already on their way.  And Howie and AJ don't live very far away, so they'll..." Ding dong!  "be here soon." "Shit!  Amanda, I would hurt you but I have to change."  Holly yelled.  But, what Holly didn't notice was that when she was yelling at Amanda, Lori got up and answered the door. "Hi guys!  I have to go change, but you guys can chat with Holly and Amanda."  Lori sad giving Holly an evil smile.  Before the guys could say anything Holly ran to get a blanket to hide in. "Instead, I'm going to hurt Lori."  Holly said through her teeth to Amanda. "Umm.....nice boxers."  Howie said sitting down next to Holly on the couch. "Thanks."  Holly said waiting for Lori to come down the stairs.  Finally, Lori came down the stairs saying, "Hello everyone!"  She walked to the couch and sat close to AJ giving him a kiss on the cheek.  As soon as Lori sat down, Holly ran upstairs to change.  Holly turned on her cd player really loud so no one could hear her throw things in boxes.  Her room was messy (from Lori looking through her closet)  After Holly was dressed, she came down the stairs.  Everyone was there heading outside. ~Great, another party to clean up~  Holly thought as she joined her friends. ---------- The little get together was almost over.  Nick and Brian had already left to go by their girlfriends houses.  Holly was walking past the pool to go clean a table when Lori turned around real fast and knocked Holly in the pool.  Everyone heard a loud "AHHH!"  followed by a loud splash, "Haha!"  Lori shouted as Holly climbed out. "What the hell is your problem?"  Holly yelled pushing Lori. "No what's your problem?  Lori yelled back at Holly.  Both of them started pushing and kicking each other.  Nobody knew what to do.  Holly and Lori wouldn't listen to Amanda who was telling them to stop.  Then they started scratching each other cutting each other with what ever they could find.  After Lori pushed Holly into a table, she grabbed her neck and started strangling her.  That's when everyone tried to stop this.  AJ grabbed Lori pulling her away while Howie grabbed Holly, and Amanda was screaming at both of them to shut up. "You've got some nerve to try to kill me!"  Holly shouted to Lori as Howie carried Holly inside.  "Put me down!" "You well at least I have a guy who cares about me!"  Lori shouted.  "It wouldn't matter if I killed you, you bitch!" "Bitch?  I'm not the bitch!  Howie!  Put me down!"  Holly screamed as she disappeared inside. "Lori, I don't think you should stay with Holly tonight."  Amanda said, "Why don't you stay with AJ." "I think that's a great idea because I don't want to stay with that bitch!"  Lori shouted towards the house. Everyone could see Holly run up to the sliding doors yelling something to Lori. ---------- After everyone picked up everything they all left leaving Howie to stay with Holly.  He was there to help her cool down. ~Chapter 6~ It had been only about 10 minutes after everyone left.  Holly was sitting in her bathroom trying to clean all the cuts Lori gave her. "Aghh!  Shit!"  Holly shouted as she knocked over the hydrogen peroxide bottle.  "Holly do you need help in there?"  Howie asked.  "No!  Shit!  Yes!"  Holly yelled back as she slipped on the peroxide.  Howie opened the door and almost stepped on Holly. "You're making this harder than it actually is."  Howie said as he helped Holly up.  "Whoa Lori really scratched you up!"  Howie said looking at all the cuts. "Yeah, yeah I know.  I think she stabbed me with a fork in my shoulder."  Holly said. "Ow.  Well sit down so I can clean this cuts."  Howie said as he grabbed a new bottle of peroxide. "Ow ow ow!"  Holly screamed as Howie put some peroxide on her shoulder.  "AHHH pain!"    Holly screamed again. "It doesn't hurt that much.  You're just being a baby."  Howie said as he put more on. "It does to hurt!  Especially when you put too much on."  Holly said looking at how much Howie was putting on her cuts. "I've got one more cut to clean.  Then you can complain all you want."  Howie said as he put the last bandage on.  As Howie stood up, he bumped Holly's knee, which made her leg accidentally kick him in his knew. "Ow those shoes hurt."  Howie yelled walking out the bathroom door.  "I'm sorry it was a reflex."  Holly apologized walking after Howie.  Howie walked over to Holly's phone and started dialing. "Who do you think you're calling?"  Holly asked. "I'm calling Lori so you two won't be fighting anymore."  Howie answered. "No!  I don't want to talk to her!  She tried to kill me!  Didn't you see her strangling me?"  Holly shouted as she tried to hang up the phone. "Hey AJ is Lori there?  Good cause I have someone here who wants to talk."  Howie said into the phone.  He handed the phone to Holly. "Hello?" "Hi.  So, you wanna talk to me, huh?  First you gotta say something."  Lori said. "What do I have to say?"  asked Holly. "Well what do you think?" "I don't know." "Will both of you just apologize and be friends again?"  Howie said. "Fine."  Said Holly. "Fine." "I'm sorry." "Me too. "Well I gotta go.  I'll see you tomorrow. Bye." "Bye." After Holly hung up the phone Howie said, "See.  Now don't you feel better that you're friends again?" "Yeah I guess."  Holly said.  "Thanks for making us friends again." Holly walked over to where Howie was by the door way  And as they leaned closer to each other, their lips touched. Chapters 7-9 Chapters 1-3 Back to Fanfic Back to Main Page
