Lost Vacation

Girls Night Out

After a few long drive, Serena pull up in front of a club, and then they got out of the her car. I pull up beside her, Maddie and Lee bolted out even before the car stopped completely. I swept my gaze around, looking for something suspicious. But turn out everything's just normal. There goes enjoy the friday night in peace. Maddie said Justin and his gang will join us later, because right now they have some meeting with their basketball coach for their upcoming match next week. Serena has some friend that working in this club. And he owe Serena a favor and she called the favor so he has squeeze us in, even when he knows we're all underage. 

We got in the club without problem. The loud music blaring from the inside, and the girls immediatly shaking their bodies while getting in. I swept my gaze around, memorizing where the toilet is, where the emergency exits is, and such. Never in million years would I wish for the presence of the guys. But now I kinda did. If the guys showed up, they will give me numbers. Because now I'm not only have to protect Maddie but her friends as well. 

Heather choose a sofe in a not really private spot, so we still surounded by the other clubbers. Smart girl. I sat after the girls took theirs. But Aimee waiting for me to sit, and then she sit beside me, and massaging my nape wthout warning." You look tense, J. Let me makes you relax" she said in a low voice. I swear this girl makes me uncomfortable as a light word. But thanks god Heather caught my discomford and pull Aimee away by her ear.

" Don't ever do that again, Aimee" Heather glared at Aimee. All this time Heather is the tyrant in her friends eyes, but for me it's that she's been born as a leader. The responsible one. The caretaker. It's her talent. She knows what tone to use, how to speak and certainly knows how to put someone on her shoes.

" She's not comfortable, Aimee. Don't you see that?" Serena scolding her

" Besides, she's Maddie's sister., you're gone too far. You move here. Now, Aimee" Lee got up and forced Aimee move to her seat. So now Lee sit between me and Aimee, makes Aimee pout.

Heather stood up " I'll go get drinks, don't go anywhere" and then she left, while the other just rolled their eyes.

" Hey, what's going on there?" I asked before pointed at the far end of the club. There's a big crowd and noises there.

" I'm sure, it's just some stupid bet" Maddie answered nonchalantly

When a waiter came to bring our drinks, Lee asked her.

" What's they're up to there?" she pointed the crowd

" Oh. That's Big Todd. Whoever can take him down can brought the money home" she smiled " No one has ever bring him down" she added

" Wrestling?" Heather asked

" Nope. Beer" the girl anwered

" Come on, Let's catch that. Sounds great" Serena shout between the music and then just left for the crowd. The girls following suit.

" But, I want ice cream sundae" I protested

" It's a club J, they don't serve ice cream. I'll get you some on the way home. Now, drink your soda. here" Maddie hand me a glass of soda.

The emcee still making noises about some big chunk for whoever took down Big Todd. He even walking around waving the bundle of money. There's a guy passed out on the table face-down, and then there's a guy laid unconscious on the floor. Maybe the losers.

Behind the table there's a tall bearded big guy. Dark skin. His face flustered. And he's glistening with sweat and his curly hair mated on his skull. He wore sleveless shirt and his body supporting a riot colour of tattoos. One word ; scary. The kind of guy you should stay away from. I sit even a biker bar or something? why is there a bet like this here?

The emcee kept taunting the crowd but no one entering the bet. Judging from the losers which is not some small man_both of them, and how fustered big todd's face is, so.... 

" I'm in" I shout to the emcee

The crowd fell silent instantly and everyone looking at me now like I grow some heads. Uh-oh! I turn my head to my friends, and I can see their jaw dropped. The emcee approached me.

" I'm so sorry, Sir. My sister isn't serious. She'd just had an accident and screwing her head. She don't know what she said" Maddie said while gripping my arm.

" Yeah, Sir. That's true. She's not well" Serena added

" Well?" The emcee arched an eyebrow to me

" No. I'm serious, guys" I said to my friends

" No, J. You're not. And we're leaving. Now" Heather bombed an order. And for the first time I don't like it.

" No, guys. Come on, nothing to loose here. If I win, we can bring the money home, That was a lot of money and if I loose...well at least I have the beer free" I said grinning

" Yes kid, that is a hell of a lot of money. You sure do" the emcee encouraged me. And I can see him sneering at me, obviously looking down an easy prey.

" No, J. I'll bought you beers however much you want. You can drink until you can't walk for a week. But you're not going to do this" Maddie hissed at me

" Oh, come on mad...you're not fun..." I whined " Come on, do the math, he has been drinking for a while taking down his opponent before. So, My guess is he is half full now" I added

Yeah, and he's still three times bigger than you..." But the crowd noises and the emcee's vioce swalowed her retored.

" Great. We have the next challenger here tonight, folks. What do you think about this gorgeous girl here? She's sure can take the Big Todd down. Is she not?" The emcee shout to the crowd. Which got him a long booo. Big Todd laugh, ofcourse he did. But I don't care, 'm not loosing anything if I lose. I took off my jacket and throw it at Maddie. I jump over the fence and stood up in front of Big Todd. Now in this close proximity, I can really see this guy is really big and tall. My head don't even reach his shoulder. And his body is ten times bigger than me.

" I'm still in" I shout

" Come on Big Todd, are you chicken? So you're frightened of a little girl?" the emcee taunted Big Todd. " What's your name kid?" he put away his microphone before whispered in my ear

" J" I answered

" Just J?" he sneered. " Here's our challenger tonight, folk. J...the mighty" he announced. J The mighty? Really buddy?! That's chlice'

The crowd cheered in excited. They all chanting Big todd's name. None J. " Big Todd...big Todd...Big todd..." Even there's a " chew her in a second" do I look like a gummy to you buddy? I want to shout back, but I won't waste my breath. And then there's " eat her alive" Now, that's just gross.

But then I caught a little voice chanting " J...J...J..." Aimee?. I turn to the left and my suspicion confirmed. Aimee chanting my name and pumping her tiny fist to the air.

Big Todd reached the table and smirking at me, I look up in front of him tauntingly. The crowd got wilder. Mostly because they wanted to see a stupid kid got a lesson. But thank god, my supporter is now not just one, but all the girls chanting my name now. I grin at them.

The emcee read the rules. His assintants took place between me and big todd. Their duty are filling the glass and counting. And theen the emcee asked the audience to count along with him.

3...2...1...GO!

I'm not sure wether I ever drank beer before. It's tasted bitter, sour and burn at the same time. But I ignored it altogether. I just relax my throat, and pour the beer down, so I don't have to gulp.

We drank glass after glass. I lost count on how much the beer filling my stomach. The noises is somehow dimmed, as if it's came from a far faraway. Also, my sight started to blurr. And I almost drop my glass, because they're shaking. I even couldn't feel my legs. My body felt really light. And the most funny thing is I really need to pee. That's really annoying. I almost gave up for that.

But then there's a kaboom kaboom, and then shattered glasses hitting the floor. I turn my head around while chugging beer from the glass in my hand. But I saw big todd hit his face on the table and fell on his back to the ground along with his glass and didn't get up.

The emcee count to ten followed by the crowd, and when big todd didn't stirred the emcee shouting announcement of me as the champion. He took my hand to the air while did it. And the crowd is getting louder.

" And the money goes to...J...the mighty...." he shouted before put the money in my hand and raised it to the air so the crowd can see it.

After that there's not much I could hear. Or if there's any, my brain just couldn't process it right. There's much tap on my shoulder and it almost makes me fell everytime. I let Maddie drag me to our previous spot and sat me there. But now I really need to pee.

" Aku mau pipis" ( I need to pee) I shouted in Maddie's ear

" What?" she shouted back because the music is really loud

" Aku mau pipis" I repeated it louder, maybe she didn't hear me. But I know my voice a little shaky and I don't know why my tongue just don't work properly.

" What? What are you saying? I don't understand" she shout back. Now...how to say it? What's wrong with Maddie? What's not to understand? I'm going to lose it...

" Pipis" I said again, this time I pointed to my crotch, and I tried to demonstrate a pee, but my legs wobbled and I fell on my butt on the floor. And there's someone burst out laughing, I tried to catch who's laughing at me, but the room spinning too.

" I think she needs to pee" someone said. Thank god, finnaly. I don't care anymore about who's laughing. And the I felt someone helping me up.

" Maddie, Take her to the restroom. Then we're heading out" Heather barked an order.

" I want to stay and dancing" Maddie protested. What's wrong with this girls? I really need to pee, and they're arguing. I tried to undo my fly, and someone tried to stop me. But then I hiccupped.

" Mad, she's going to be sick. The last thing we need is a table covered in J's puke. They're going to kick us out" Heather reasoned.

" Yeah. Beside she's your sister. If you're not willing to take her, I will" Aimee added

" I'd rather hold her hair while she puke, then letting you harrasing her" Maddie grumbled. And then she put an arm around me and dragged me to the loo. On the long agonizing way to the loo Maddie kept chewing me about not going to take anywhere if she knows I'm going to do stupid things like a beer bet. I really want to talk back at her, pointed that my stupidity make us richer then when we came. But my brain just doesn't know how to work it, so I remain silent.

In the cubicle, Maddie help me in, that's got us stares. Maddie grumbled "it's my sister" to them. Maddie helped to get my pants down and sat me down there. This is really embarassing, I felt like an invalid. But Maddie did it patiently. I really want to tell her that she's the best sister in the world. But I'm sleepy, my brain just got waver and my eyes dimmed.

" Hey, J. Wake up. You can't sleep here" Maddie slapping my cheek softly. Oh! I slept

" Come on. Get up" she helped my up and then put my pants back on, and dragged me out.When we arrived back, the girls is ready to leave. They just waiting for us apparently.

" What's took you so long?" Serena asked

" Is she puke?" Lee added " The last thing I need is she puke in my car"

" Nope. Apparently she think bathroom is equal bedroom" Maddie said "She's slept"

" What?" Heather shriek, and burst out laughing. The other followed suit. " Oh...she's really drunk"

" Oh....she wasted. Come on" Serena said to the others.

" What about the boys? Aren't they going to flip if they don't find us here" Lee asked

" I'll text one of them" Serena said

Finnaly. A few more minutes they're arguing, I really going to sleep. I am damn sleepy now, I could sleep walking.
