Chapter 28 A Jerk Between Us

• I wish I hadn't come. Claire wanted me to be with her because she didn't want to be alone at the party with the guys, not that she didn't trust them. She did. But I really shouldn't have come. She was perfectly fine without me.
• I didn't know where she was. Knowing her, she was probably too drunk out of her sense by now. Others too have dispersed into the house. I didn't see Sam, Josh and Tyler again in the party. Maybe they are upstairs occupying a room with a girl each. I didn't really know, neither wanted to. Jake came a few times to grab a drink and smiled politely at me. He was just so sweet. I couldn't believe Claire would choose Jesse over Jake. I despised Jesse Winters. I felt like Claire was being used. Jesse had always been physical with her. I wouldn't be surprised if she tells me that their bodies talk more than their mouths. Jesse freaking fuckboy Winters.
• And not even Brian was here. Gemma dragged him with her to God knows where and I didn't have any idea where my other friends are. I was all by myself at the bar. I have been here for almost half an hour and I was in no mood to go elsewhere. I had been drinking a lot of fruit punch and Pepsi to the point that my stomach was full of it. I might need to visit the bathroom soon.
