Logan opened the door, Jeff

They hugged and he pulled him in, arm on his shoulder.

Don't bother with the shoes, Carl is on his way

No shot, what about food

I got that covered, Paul even chipped in

Paul was standing in his room with the door open, waived two fingers, was doing something with a sneaker.

How you been?

Don't want to get too far into it without the whole crew here.

Got it

They sat on the couch and Logan handed him a controller.

•

A knock at the door.

One minute please

Carl pounded the door, come on dude, he tried the handle and it was open.

Logan and Jeff were laughing about the door, welcome dude.

They were playing a shooting video game on the big television in the corner.

The fuck, guys, I didn't know this was a gamer party

He said the word party in two words, par tay.

•

Once they got wiped out in the game they moved to the island in the kitchen, seated on bar stools. Logan sat closest to the kitchen so he could ration out the beers.

Jeff was just about to explain his love life

The fuck I am, I asked you first

Carl grinned, waiting for his turn to tell them about Vanessa.

Logan handed out the beers and Carl immediately began drinking his.

Paul, you coming out to hear about current events

No, got to go to the mall

The fuck is at the mall

Carl and Jeff looked at eachother and made strange faces.

I'm turning in applications today don't you remember

Fuck no

They laughed.

Break a leg, Carl lifted his beer to toast but no one else did, he drank anyway.

Good luck, Pauly

Paul closed and locked the front door.

I feel so safe

Jeff, you can stop holding me now the door is locked

Alright where were we

I don't know man I try to keep them lined up. They're all fucked up. I mean, everyone in this generation is. And they all do the same thing.

Smoke, suck, fuck, bail?

Something like that, Logan looked irritated that Carl put it so crass. His beer bottle was empty.

Meghan opened the door, the guys were sitting there, Jeff had the sad frog face.

What's up fuckers

Who invited you

I heard it was a convention of the pig fuckers and decided to pick up a badge and visit the retailers, who invited you

Paul, they all started calling his name.

He left remember

Oh yeah

Fucking idiots. Oh hey you're drinking Monte Alban

Is that what this is, Carl took another shot of the yellow liquor

Yeah the worm is in the fridge

Logan sat up straight.

We haven't had yellow worm there before

Yellow worm in the 'frigerator

You guys are fucking tossed

No, we are just happy to see you

She opened the refrigerator and looked for something to eat, when she didn't find it she went to the cupboard and moved the plastic containers of flour and oatmeal out of the way.

What's going on

Are you going to cook

She laughed and pulled out a bottle of vodka.

No, I'm gonna peel

She started working at the label with her thumbnail.

Meghan have I ever told you I love you

Yeah, Meghan, you're my best friend

They turned to face her, Logan stood up, want a shot glass

Or four

She looked at Carl with that predatory stare, a grin spreading across her mouth, he sat back down.

She turned her gaze to Jeff and he froze.

Logan, your friends are pussies.
