Being a teenager can be the best time of your life with alcohol, partying, hanging out with friends, not caring about school and just living in the moment. But that would be if we were in a Hollywood movie where the "teenagers" are 25 years old.
Real life is a little less colorful compared to the movies. Despite having its good days and bad days, there will always be a time to rest, relax and be, at least for one night, a silly Hollywood teenager.
Everyone had the right to be able to act stupid that night. It was the first day of summer vacation and they had to enjoy it. What better way than a party thrown by the best party host in the entire state?
Said and done, that very evening Geoff's house was filled with friends, cousins, strangers and even a dog that no one knew how it got there. As the hours wore on, the party boy's parents' house smelled more and more of booze, weed and sweat, but those are small details.
Tyler was excited about the party and told Alejandro about going together but Alejandro had to decline his invitation because he had to attend a family reunion he didn't want to be at. Tyler totally understood but still couldn't help but feel sad when he heard that. Oh well, he could still go with Lindsay.
"I think it's getting late already" Tyler commented, taking a sip of his beer as he gazed from the couch at all the people dancing.
"What?" Lindsay and Heather, who was with the blonde, looked at the jock in confusion.
"That I think it's already late" Tyler spoke up.
"What?" Lindsay tried to make sense of what Tyler was saying, but with the music so loud it was nearly impossible.
"He says it's getting late!" Heather spoke loudly close to the blonde's ear so she could hear.
"Ah! I don't think so" Lindsay reached for her phone. "It's only 11:45" Lindsay brought the phone closer than it should have been to Tyler's face, causing him to bump it.
"Yeah... I can see it pretty good" Tyler slowly rubbed his face trying to get the pain to go away, and even if it didn't help it made him feel better.
"Anyway, how about we go get some drinks?" Heather stood up as the other two nodded. Lindsay walked along with the queen bee and Tyler followed behind.
"Why does he have to be following us all the time?" Heather muttered.
"Because he couldn't find his group of friends and because Ale-hunk-dro couldn't come" Lindsay shrugged.
"Why do you even call him like that?" She asked with annoyance and some disgust in her voice.
"I don't know, it's funny" The blonde laughed while the other just rolled her eyes.
When they made it to the kitchen there were all the guys in a competition of who drank the most. "Speaking of idiots..." Heather grabbed two beers. "Leave Tyler with them for a while and let's go outside" Lindsay nodded.
"Look ,Tyler! Your friends you can hang out with and play party games with!" Lindsay shoved Tyler and then ran off. The blonde got jock bumped into a guy.
"Lindsay?" Tyler looked up when he felt an arm around his shoulders.
"I don't think I am a bimbo chick but thanks" Geoff let out a few chuckles. "Dudes! Look who's here to play!"
All of his friends turned to look at him and he only managed to smile awkwardly as he waved.
"Yooo, Tyler!!! Congratulations on not flunking out of the year!" Trent said cheerfully.
Tyler didn't even know what was going on but one thing he did know was that everyone there was already drunk or high.
"Yeah, I aced all the tests" At that, he felt like he was being seated at the table and across from him was Duncan, who had 10 empty bottles next to him so he could assume he had drank them.
"I'll bet 100 on Tyler!" Cody placed a bunch of money on the table.
Some of the guys began to place bets as well, placing money on the table and bringing in new bottles. Shouts of support for the two were heard throughout the kitchen but were almost inaudible over the loud music.
"Guys! I know we all want to make a little money and keep drinking but take it easy" Geoff took the money from the table. "Who's betting on Tyler?" The voices of some of his friends spoke in unison. Geoff nodded "Who's betting on Duncan?" different voices rose to speak. "Okay!!! You know the rules. First one to throw up or fall on the ground is the loser."
Tyler watched as the bottles in front of him began to be opened and the small of smoke coming from the bottle indicated that it was ice cold, really convenient. He looked up momentarily and saw how Duncan was with a smile on his face but looked like he was going to fall over at any moment. Maybe this would be easier than Tyler thought.
"Having said that..." Geoff gave a glance at the two competitors. "On your marks..."
The jock didn't even know how he had ended up where he was but he was determined to win no matter what.
"Ready?"
Duncan picked up his bottle, preparing to win. Tyler mimicked his opponent's actions and they nodded to each other.
"Go!" The crowd went crazy as the to guys started to chug down their beers.
The taste made his throat beg for mercy but the jock wasn't planning on stopping anytime soon. On the plus side, the beer was ice cold and that eased the heat in the room.
From that moment on everything started to go downhill. His memories were blurry and he could only hear the voices of his friends saying that he was about to win. His friends were right but he couldn't remember how or when he won.
First he was on the table celebrating, then they went dancing in the living room, to the backyard for some reason and he ended up falling down the stairs but quickly got up to go drink more.
DJ watched it all happen and as the person in charge of making sure no bad things happened, he had to act. Obviously he couldn't leave and leave a bunch of drunk teenagers behind, so he called the person who didn't go to the party and cared about the jock.

A sleeping Alejandro was in his perfectly tidy room, sheets arranged with great precision, pillows at the right point of fluffiness and a skin care at night.
All was silence in the house of the Burromuertos. It was so quiet that not even the sounds from outside were coming in, and that was just as well since everyone needed a quiet night.
BRRRRR
Alejandro as the light sleeper he is, that minimum sound was enough to wake him up. He groaned in annoyance and opened his eyes to see.
BRRRR
He sat up and picked up his phone. "DJ? What does he want at this time of night?" he asked himself as he rubbed his eyes.
BRRRRR
"Contesta el maldito telefono de una vez!" Jose spoke from his room, reminding him how thin the walls of his house were.
He rolled his eyes and answered. "Hello?"
Alejandro didn't know what to expect but as soon as he heard him he stood up.
"Pero-" He ran into the living room to grab his father's car keys.
"Que-" He started the car as fast as he could and thank God it was early morning and there were no more than 2 or 3 cars passing by.
"Mierda" Alejandro had left the phone on the passenger seat with speakerphone so he could hear DJ well.
"He had a competition of who drank the most against Duncan and when he won the other guys took him into the crowd, I lost sight of him for about 30 minutes and found them again when Tyler was lying on the ground. Sorry man" DJ's voice was high and you could hear he was out of breath.
"Is he okay? Where is he now?" Alejandro tapped the steering wheel nervously as he waited for a traffic light to change color.
"Luckily the fall wasn't hard and he's fine, it was a scare more than anything." A sigh of relief was heard from Alejandro. "Now he is lying on the grass outside the house. He was saying something about not wanting to sit and the grass is a better bed."
"Don't let him get up and run away, I'll be there in 3 minutes" DJ hung up the phone and only Alejandro was left with low music playing from the radio.
Actually, he arrived in 2 minutes, but it took him 1 minute to find a good place to park as the amount of cars in front of Geoff's house was too much. The noise could be heard from about 50 meters before he arrived. Poor neighbors.
As he got out of the car he could make out DJ and Tyler, who was sitting next to Dj, in the distance in the driveway.
"Come on Tyler, you have to stand up" Tyler wobbled in his seat, despite being held up.
"Alejandro! Glad you made it" DJ waved with his free hand but Tyler was really confused.
"Good morning Dj, I see the party is quite enjoyable" Alejandro extended his arms towards Tyler to take him. "And good morning to you too, lindo" Tyler pulled away from both of them, still staggering.
"I can walk on my own! A-and besides I don't know you..." He slurred his words. Drunk Tyler was always an entertaining thing to watch.
"Not again... Tyler... He's going to take you home, okay?" DJ said calmly as the Spaniard nodded.
"I-I'll trust you but I don't need help walking" Tyler frowned a little and started walking towards some car. "It's to the right" Alejandro said and the jock went the other way.
"Thanks for letting me know" DJ shook his head, laughing a little.
"Thanks to you for coming at this time in the morning. By the way, he speaks quite highly of you, he was telling me about what an amazing boyfriend you had" DJ let out a few laughs.
"Really? That's really surprising" Alejandro thought for a moment. "Even though he's okay with this relationship it seems like he still hasn't come to terms with the fact that he's dating a guy."
"You can tell he really loves you but maybe it's hard for him to show it, I'm sure it's just a matter of time" DJ was about to comment something else when he heard a loud noise inside the house. "I think I should go back. Be careful."
They said their goodbyes and Alejandro started to head for his car. Knowing that Tyler thought so made him feel much better. Obviously he didn't doubt Tyler's feelings but knowing that made him know that things were on the right track.
When he got to his car he saw how Tyler was lying on top of a car that was a little farther away.
"My car is this one" Tyler mumbled something and walked over to the other one. Alejandro opened the door for him, then went to the driver's seat and drove.
"I-I don't know who you are but you're just driving me home" Tyler folded his arms.
"You don't recognize me, do you?" Alejandro chuckled.
"No and I'm not interested in meeting you either because I have a boyfriend" That made Alejandro let out a laugh. Seeing Tyler in this state was better than watching a comedy movie.
"Okay, okay" Alejandro stopped laughing slowly when Tyler started looking at him funny "So what's your boyfriend like?"
"He's like super cool and he's also really nerdy. Like, you ask him anything about anything and he knows! That's freaking awesome!" Tyler spent the next 5 minutes naming things his boyfriend was good at. DJ was right, it's a matter of time.
"I can tell you really like him" Alejandro hesitated a little.
"And how could I not? He's super handsome and attractive too!" Tyler thought for a few seconds. "He's so handsome I'm going to describe him" Alejandro just nodded.
"He has emerald green eyes, he has nice brown hair..." Tyler tilted his head as he looked at the boy on the side. "Tanned skin, muscular" The smile on Alejandro's face only got bigger with each passing second.
"You look a lot like my boyfriend..." Tyler inched closer and closer to Alejandro, curious.
"Maybe it's because I am?" Alejandro gave the jock a small kiss on the forehead.
"Alejandro!!! I haven't seen you in a year!" Tyler hugged the other, clinging tightly to his neck. "GOd... you really are my boyfriend and you exist too! You should have been at the party, it was super fun!"
"Tyler, amorcito, please you're choking me" Tyler loosened his grip and mumbled a few things. "Thank you. I had to do a few things and couldn't attend"
"T-too bad, you should have seen how I beat that punk Duncan!" The jock started curling brown locks around his fingers.
"That must have been pretty impressive" The Spaniard commented and then fell silent.
The jock after fiddling with the Spaniard's hair, fiddled with his necklace. He had always wondered why a bull, maybe he could give him a lion necklace.
Tyler looked up slightly, noticing Alejandro's neck. He ran his fingers across it delicately, tracing hearts. "I want to kiss you" It didn't take him a second to begin sloppy kisses.
"Tyler... I'm driving, please" It didn't bother him in the least, rather, it was enjoyable, but it was two in the morning while he was driving and that didn't add to the ambiance. And he was driving, too.
Tyler continued with the increasingly sloppy kisses but put as much feeling into it as he could muster at the time. One hand slowly moving down the Spaniard's chest and the other seeking support on the seat.
"You're very handsome and a big nerd..." Tyler continued with the playful touches. Why all this had to be happening now. Once something similar happened at Alejandro's house but they almost got caught because Jose didn't know how to knock before entering.
He tilted his head more to one side, maybe it was instinct or maybe it was apropos but the jock took the opportunity to kiss the newly discovered area. The temperature in the car began to rise, but the air conditioning wasn't even on or maybe it was just Alejandro's imagination and the only temperature rising was his body.
Tyler slowly moved his body closer, you could say a little more and he would be on top of the Spaniard. Alejandro was aware of this but what alarmed him the most was that the jock started groping under his shirt.
He put on his flashing lights and parked on the side of the street. "Guapito, I know you want to do this but I'm driving" Alejandro gently cupped the other's face to get him to look at him. "If you want, when we get to your house you continue, okay? But right now I'm busy" Tyler sat back in his seat and nodded. "Okay and seatbelt."
For the rest of the way the jock stood with his arms crossed and you could tell he was grumpy. To fix that Alejandro placed his hand on Tyler's leg, which caused him to giggle for a few seconds.
By the time they arrived at the house Tyler had fallen asleep and it was Alejandro's duty to take him to his room so he could get a good night's sleep. He reached into his jock's pocket for the house keys and they made it inside.
Tyler looked cute while he slept even if he was a little heavy. He let out some snoring or grunting from time to time but he could get used to it. As expected, no one was home.
Eventually they reached Tyler's room. The Spaniard gently placed him on the bed and since he was there, he took the moment to pat him on the head.
"Alejandro?" Tyle slowly opened his eyes, quite sleepy.
"Yes, Tyler?" He stopped giving him cuddles as Tyler began to sit up.
"Why do you have boobies?" The jock looked at the other curiously, as if inspecting his chest.
"Que mier-" The cute moment had just begun and now it turned into something weird. Thank you Tyler for.
"Knockers" Tyler's head fell on the Spaniard's shoulder and with that, he began to look at him intently. What could that sleepy look say and what could that distorted mind think. Only Tyler knew.
"Is something wr-?" Alejandro was stopped when he felt a squeeze on his pectoral.
"Boobies. Man boobies." Tyler released him and returned to staring intently.
"That look no longer brings me confidence..." Alejandro let out a sigh that even he didn't know was there.
"Marry me" Tyler fell into the other's lap, still looking at him and holding out his arms. "You're like what I've always wanted."
Alejandro laughed rather amused "Are you sure you didn't drink something other than alcohol?" He should be sleeping but instead he was with a drunken jock in his lap. A good way to spend the night. "And we can't get married because we're 17 and there's still a long way to go."
"Awww, but I did want to" Tyler pouted. His face showed the sleepiness that was slowly eating away at him. He made a little mental note of how cute Tyler looked with the moonlight on his face. He could see even the smallest of his scars and he loved every one of them.
"We can talk about that in the morning" Alejandro settled him back down and covered him with a blanket. "Sleep well, Tyler" He started to leave but was interrupted when he felt a firm grip on his hand.
"Don't go..." Tyler said softly, almost begging. Alejandro was very surprised by the sudden change of attitude, but with what had happened all this time, it should really surprise him.
"It's 3:45... I really need to go" It was kind of sad to see him like this and he was already letting go of his hand when he saw a tear form in Tyler's eyes. The jock could be quite... sensitive (?)
"Or maybe I can stay with you for the night" Alejandro despite being rather panicky tried to resolve the situation as quickly as possible. He was immediately relieved when he saw Tyler with a small smile.
The Spaniard took off his shoes and then sat down next to him. He texted to his father about coming home in the morning and his father just told him to bring the car in good condition.
"It's only for you that I do these things..... Maldita sea" He lay down next to him and immediately Tyler clung to his torso. "I'm not leaving, don't worry."
