"Peter contrary to popular belief, I do have a life. I'm going to a party tonight!" you say indignantly.
"Hmm, I find that hard to believe, but if you don't want to be part of what will be the greatest movie ever, 'tis your loss, not mine." Peter says and leaves with Kevin who's still pointing the camera at you until you slam the door in his face.

You groan when you now realize you're going to a party that will most likely have several "Kevins" all attempting to get in your pants. Still, you've never not been there for Julie when she's really wanted or needed you and that seems to be the case now. So you're going.

You try to find something to wear that's not going to cause the natives to get too restless, but then you remember it won't matter, so you just wear something comfortable to you.

Your walk to Julie's is relatively uneventful and you get there exactly at six o clock. Julie is unusually sober. Granted the party hasn't quite started yet, but that's never stopped her before.

"Suzy? What the hell are you doing here? Nobody else has arrived yet!"
"Uh you told me six, so I'm here at six." You say totally not grasping the concept of being fashionably late.

Julie laughs and puts her hand on your shoulder.

"Oh Suzy, you are just so precious sometimes. That's why despite our differences I've always considered you my best friend after all these years."
"Uh huh. So what did you want to see me about?" you ask
"Oh we can talk about that later, you should enjoy yourself now."
"Julie, as you pointed out nobody else is here yet! Also, I just came over to talk to you, not hang out at your party, so now is a good time to tell me. You said it was important."

Julie begins to get a little nervous now, and tries to avoid the situation.

"Ha ha, yeah well. Maybe it wasn't as important as I thought I guess. It's funny to see you here; I almost didn't expect you to come, but now that you are, stay!"
"Julie, you mean to tell me you wasted my time, and lied to me?"
"No! I just…yeah I guess it's important, I just can't tell you right now. I will later I promise. Please can't you just stay for the party?"

It's apparent that Julie really does want you to stick around, but at this point you're very exasperated. You don't like leaving your basement without a good reason.

You didn't come here to play games. You give Julie one last chance.

"Look Julie, if you don't tell me what's going on right now I'm leaving."
"No! Please no! If I don't tell you now I might never…I need a drink first." She says and goes to her liquor cabinet, but you stop her.

"Dammit WHAT?!" you yell into her face while grabbing both of her arms.

Julie breaks free of your grip and grasps your face to kiss you full on the lips passionately. You're so surprised that you don't resist at first, but eventually you push her off of you.

"I love you Suzy! I think I always have! I think you're my soul mate!" she blurts out. "There I said it."

You're in too much shock to even reply at this revelation. All you know is she wasn't joking about it being important.

"Whew, I feel like a great weight has been lifted off of me. I thought I wasn't going to be able to tell you without being drunk, but I'm glad you forced it out of me. You always lead me to the right decision. It's why I love you."
"Stop…just stop Julie." You say, sitting down trying to take all this in.

"What's wrong Suzy? I mean I thought you might be into this."
"What? And what made you think that?"
"Oh come on Suzy, you're still a fucking virgin. You've never shown any interest in guys, so I'm pretty sure that it's obvious that you're a closet lesbian."
"Glad it's obvious to you, because it sure wasn't to me. Look I need to wrap my head around this. I gotta get out of here."
"But…but…"
"But what Julie? What am I supposed to do fall down on my knees and start munching your rug? Look maybe YOU'VE had those feelings, but I haven't. I mean I suppose we're friends and all, but quite frankly we're VERY different people and wouldn't be compatible in a relationship even if I was so inclined to pursue one with a woman. Which I'm not. At least not now."

Julie begins to look very hurt and upset.

"But…you could right?"
"Look Julie, it's not going to happen. First of all you'd have to undergo some serious lifestyle changes which I doubt if you're even capable of. Second of all I question whether or not what you feel right now is going to last. You have a habit of falling in love every other week."
"No it not like that! I've always felt this way! And I'll do anything for us to be together!"
"Julie, forgive me if I don't share your delusions. Look, I know that you probably believe what you're saying, but let's just forget about this shall we?"

At this point Julie starts to cry which is followed up by her running into the bathroom and slamming the door. You think about trying to console her, but that's probably only going to make things worse.

Lacking any other ideas, you decide to go home and let Julie work it out herself.

On your way home, you run into Donna and a bunch of her slutty friends.

"Suzy? What the hell are YOU doing out of the basement, you never go anywhere!" Donna says.
"I'm coming back from Julie's. It's a long story."
"Coming back from there? We're going there! Julie invited all of us to her party. Normally we wouldn't get there so early, but we figured we'd like to get the first dibs on the guys."
"Yeah she invited me too, but she wanted to talk about something else." You say and then feel the need to tell Donna more.

"Uh…Donna can I talk to you about something in private?"
"Sure, hey you guys just go on, I'll catch up." Donna tells her friends.

After her friends leave you tell Donna everything that happened between you and Julie. Donna's intrigued, but is shocked at your response.

"So you just left her to cry?"
"Well yeah, I mean if I stayed I would've just made things worse. She'll get over it."
"No she won't! She basically just admitted to you that she's loved you all her life and had a hard time even admitting it to you. And you basically just stomped all over her little heart! She's supposed to be your friend. The ONLY one you really have, and you didn't even give her a chance!"
"Yeah, key word being FRIEND. I never felt that way and I've known Julie a lot longer and better than you have and she's incapable of having a stable relationship with anyone. She's wild party girl just like you."

Now Donna gets offend by your rude choice of words.

"Oh I see. Just because Julie isn't some stick in the mud flying nun who's only knowledge of a so called relationship is with a piece of battery powered machinery, she's a whore that's incapable of change or true feelings huh?"

"That's not…"
And you see me and Julie as one of the same too, right?"
"I didn't…"
"Fuck you Suzy! I know what you think. Let me tell you what I think! I think you're an emotional cripple who's so fucking scared of the real world so you hide out from it in your goddamn basement! So scared that you'll get hurt that you miss out on shit that COULD be good for your uptight ass! Well fuck that, I'd rather be a whore than some scared virginal recluse!"

You're left speechless as Donna storms off who says one more parting shot.

"And I dunno why you're claiming not to be interested in Julie anyway. It's pretty obvious that you're a lesbian."

You go back to Julie's house

Donna's outburst has made you realize that she's absolutely right. You do hide out in the basement from the real world because you're scared of getting hurt.

You ponder several times on whether or not to go back to Julie's and finally you do.

When you get there, a few more people have arrived. Most of Donna's friends are already talking to various guys. No sign of Donna or Julie though. You ask where they are and someone dismissively says her bedroom.

Your heart sinks when you hear this. You can't believe you were briefly swayed by Donna's self-righteous speech! Here you were thinking that maybe she was right, and what happens? She's fucking Julie! You're just glad you didn't allow yourself to get too emotionally involved to get hurt, but you are mad and fully intend on giving the both of them a piece of your mind!

You quickly make your way to Julie's bedroom and throw open the door.

"JULIE! DONNA! ...Oh."

You see Donna and Julie sitting a respectable distance from each other, they both look in your direction with surprise on their face. Still, you maintain your suspicion.

"…what're you doing here Donna?"
"I was trying to console Julie, by telling her that you didn't mean to be a bitch, it was just you didn't know how to react to human emotions. And what're you doing here storming in like that…wait. YOU thought me and Julie were in here having sex didn't you?!"

You sputter and answer.

"Well…I…"
"Yes you did! So were you jealous or something?" Donna asks.
"NO! I was just…look. I took what you told me into consideration I decide you might be right. So I came back here, and when someone told me you and Julie were in the bedroom together, I just sort of got a little crazy."
"Jeez, Suzy I know you think I'm slutty, but I wouldn't have rebounded with your sister!" Julie sniffles still wiping her eyes.
"Yeah, I would've thought by now that you knew I kept my sluttiness to just guys. No offense." Donna adds with smirk on her face.

You sit down coming to grips with all that has gone on within the last few moments. Donna at this point decides to leave.

"I think the both of you have a lot to talk about, so I'm going back to the party."

Julie turns to you, still wiping her eyes.

"So, you came back."
"Yeah, I came back."
"Not to break my heart again I hope."
"Alright Julie let's not be overly dramatic. Look, I suppose on some level I might like you. I've never just considered us together like that before, but Donna said some things that sort of ring true. However, that doesn't mean I'm throwing all my beliefs out the window. If we do this, I mean if you're REALLY this serious about us. I need you promise me that from here on out, that I'M the ONLY one."

Julie walks over to you and grabs your hand tightly.

"You will be. I swear, I'll change for you, because I love you."

At this point Julie moves in to kiss you again, but this time you don't push her away. The pair of you embrace and begin to remove each other clothes. For the first time you don't ponder getting hurt or anything like that, you just live in the moment.

Julie's naked body lies on top of yours. You feel the warmth of her and enjoy her tongue which first explores your breasts and eventually your clit. You then feel her fingers enter inside you. Your back arches in excitement as she proceeds to bring you closer to a climax.

You don't get a chance to return the favor because when Julie finally causes you to have an orgasm you soon fall asleep completely satisfied.

A couple hours later you feel something completely different. Something going inside you. You open your eyes and see a teenage guy on top of you. He's a little shocked when you scream, which is good because it gives you enough time to push him off of you and roll of the bed. You pick up a nearby lamp ready to throw it if necessary.

"Whoa whoa whoa! No need for that! I thought you were passed out!" The teenager explains.
"Passed out? And that gave you the right to try to rape me?"
"Hey it's not rape! I wasn't hitting you or forcing you or anything." He replies, totally oblivious to the fact that what he was doing was wrong.

You refuse to argue with this teenage idiot and chase him with the lamp until he runs out the bedroom door. You get dressed as quickly as you can to find Julie. From the sound of the music it's apparent that the party is now in full swing.

You don't really want to think it, but you know damn well what's going to happen next.

You leave the bedroom and ask where Julie is; various people say they don't know. While fighting your way through the crowd you bump into Donna.

"Hey, oh uh…"
"Donna, where's Julie?"
"…Suzy maybe you were right…"
"Donna, where the fuck is Julie?"
"Suzy you don't really want to see…let's just go home."
"Don't tell me what I don't want to see. I'm a big girl, now where is Julie?"
"…she's in the backyard…I'm sorry…"

You make your way to the backyard and that's when you see Julie. She's engaging in her favorite past time of blowing one guy while another rails her from behind. You step up past the on looking crowd. Julie sees you out the corner of her eye and you get the impression she'd try to explain if she didn't have a dick in her mouth.

"It's alright Julie, I know you're real busy right now and can't talk so just listen. I don't blame you. I allowed myself to be temporarily swayed. Actually it's a good thing this happened so soon, I didn't get too hurt and it just proves I was right all along. Besides, I guess I can thank you for the sex at least. I'm sure its experience that we'll both remember, because it's not going to happen again. Don't contact me again for anything. Goodbye Julie."

You walk away and a few seconds later you her Julie in the background calling for you, but you quickly lose her in the crowd.

You head home and back to your basement. It's odd, but you aren't really upset by this whole ordeal. True, you are a little disappointed, because on some level maybe you wanted it to go well, but now that it failed so spectacularly you don't really care. If anything you don't ever have to put up with Julie's chaotic cries for help ever again.

Maybe that's why you aren't upset. You managed to cut off yet another link to the outside world which gives even more of an excuse to remain in your basement.

But you've had enough of thinking about this for tonight; you go to sleep even more secure in the fact that your way of "life" is the correct one.
