Re:life with Karmic Gacha (Modern Family)

Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Party (Part Last)

In Abby\'s gothic style room, laying on the bed was a blonde haired teenager with a denim skirt and a long sleeved unicorn shirt.

By her side– sitting on the bed while doodling on a piece of paper was a pretty brown haired girl. Meanwhile, the goth girl was crouching on the chair near the desk while hugging her knees and having a worried expression on her face.

"So, what is he doing now?" Haley asked as she took a breather from doodling.

"He\'s dancing to the music and is still ignoring the slutty bitch." Tara replied casually as she read the text from her sister Enid while still lying down on Abby\'s bed. Enid is her sister whom she planted at the party to act as a spy for her friends.

"Good." Abby muttered, still feeling anxious that her boyfriend had gone to a party without her. Haley turned to Abby and said, "You know, you didn\'t have to let him go to the party if it\'ll bother you this much."

Tara finally raised her head and turned to Abby, "Yeah. If it was me, I would never let my boyfriend go to a party alone. Boys are pretty stupid. They won\'t think much about something before they do it."

"No. Edward isn\'t like that." Abby said with a low spirited voice. Tara rolled her eyes and said in exasperation, "We all thought like that on our first relationship. But the truth is, if you don\'t control your man, he will BE snatched away by someone else."

Abby then confessed, "I...don\'t want to be that kind of girl that would control all of her boyfriend\'s actions. Besides, Ed is pretty mature. I don\'t think that he\'ll be swept away by the party."

"Oh." Tara read another text from her sister when Abby finished talking.

"What?" Haley turned to Tara and asked with a serious face. Abby turned to Tara too, and her eyes turned glassy.

"He\'s...joining the game..." Tara said with some difficulty as if trying to let Abby down easy.

Haley was confused and asked, "What game?"

"You know...the one where you enter a closet with a girl...and have your first kiss... or you know just make out..." Tara replied in a hushed tone, but all of her words became thunderous when they entered Abby\'s mind.

"Wait. Is he just sitting there because he didn\'t know about it?" Haley asked again after glancing at Abby in anxiety.

"No. They had explained the rules pretty clearly. They are spinning the bottle now."

Abby lowered her head and buried her face behind her knees. Haley slipped from the bed and walked to Abby hurriedly. "Do you want to go there and beat up that bitch who plans all of this?"

"No need...He\'s just like the other men...I thought he would be different.." Abby said with a shaky voice and a lump on her throat.

"Wait! Don\'t cry yet!" Tara suddenly shouted, causing Abby to raise her head and Haley to turn toward her at the same time.

"He\'s not joining them. He said he was only there to provide his friend some moral support. He\'s getting out of the game now!" Tara reported all of Enid\'s text clearly as if she was some reporter reading the news.

Abby brightened up and exclaimed, "Oh," before she smiled in embarrassment. Haley and Tara had a teasing smile afterward and Tara mimicked Abby, "I thought he would be different. My romeo-"

"Shut up!" Abby yelled while being embarrassed and threw a pillow at Tara\'s face.

"Hey! My MAKEUP!" Tara shouted in anger as she saw a clear lipstick mark and her eye shadows on the white pillow case.

"Shut up and read. What are they doing now?" Haley ordered.

"So that\'s it? That\'s my only purpose here? I feel used. Is this how all of your ex-boyfriends felt?" Tara teased Haley.

Haley smirked and retorted, "I never used anyone!...and yeah, that\'s your only purpose."

"You...bitch." Tara cursed.

Haley sat back on the bed, picked up her doodling that looked like a 10 years old\'s drawing and showed it to her friend, "Abby, how does this look?"

"Oh...that\'s nice. Did Luke teach you how to draw?" Abby teased.

"Zip it!" Haley gazed menacingly at Abby as she put her drawing down.

"I think it looks nice. But I need some more details. Why don\'t you use some of the magazine cutouts like we see in the movies to show it?" Abby advised.

"That\'s....a great idea!" Haley smiled brightly as she heard the idea.

"Uh-oh." Suddenly, Tara exclaimed again.

"What now?" Abby asked in concern.

"It seems that your boyfriend is going to fight someone." Tara replied.

[Edward POV]

At the party. I returned back outside and lay down on one of the pool chairs before Jenna suddenly came out and sat beside me on another chair. She sat on the edge of the chair and leaned forward before she tapped on my arm with one finger.

"Hey! Why did you NOT want to play the game?" Jenna asked anxiously. "Are the girls here not pretty enough for you? Do you want me to change the girls for better looking ones?"

With a scrunched eyebrows, I turned my body sideways toward Jenna in confusion. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Why don\'t you want to play?" She asked again, determined to get the answer today.

Propping my head with my left hand as I laid down sideways, I replied lazily, "You know I got a girlfriend right?"

She scoffed immediately and said in a condescending tone, "As if people will care about their girlfriends or wives at a party. Do you know how many people who came to my mom\'s party are someone\'s husbands? They didn\'t care about it, why should you??"

Pausing my thoughts for a moment, I studied Jenna\'s face and found out that she was being honest in her words.

"Do you really think all men are like that?" I asked in a calm tone.

Avoiding my gaze by lowering her eyes, Jenna fixed one of her stray hair behind her ears as she answered, "That\'s true isn\'t it? My mom told me that."

"Then, your mom had given you a fucked up view on what men and woman\'s relationship should be like."

She raised one of her eyebrows in irritation before looking back into my eyes and asked, "Be honest with me. If you could do anyone you want at this party, with no repercussions afterward, no girlfriend to be mad at you, wouldn\'t you do it?"

"Still no." I replied almost instantaneously before I turned to lay on my back once more.

"NOW WHY THE HELL NOT?!" Jenna stood up and shouted in anger from my response.

"HEY YOU BITCH!" Suddenly, Boy#2 Ollie and Boy#1 Nate came out with a group of boys and shouted at Jenna\'s and mine\'s direction from afar.

Jenna turned angrily toward the boys and no longer hid who she truly was. With venom in her voice and a murderous gaze, she asked, "What?!"

"What do you mean \'what\'? You owe all of us a game!" Ollie said while the boys were walking briskly toward Jenna.

"Go play with the other girls, I don\'t have time for you!" Jenna said and turned her attention back towards me while I was trying to get some grapes in my mouth.

Suddenly, Nate grabbed Jenna\'s arm forcefully from behind and pulled her backward. "Ouch!" She exclaimed in pain.

"You\'re going to play a \'game\' with all of us...whether you like it or not." Nate said with a hint of threat. "Who knows, when you finish sucking all of us off, we will let you go. Don\'t want you to cry like the first time you lost your virginity right?"

"Get your fucking hand off me!" Jenna slapped Nate\'s grip with her free hand, but he wasn\'t letting her go. "Be obedient bitch!" Nate said and raised his hand up to slap Jenna\'s face.

The other girls were giggling at Jenna\'s misery, not caring what the boys were doing at all. Right now, all of them wanted to see Jenna get ruined and maybe after this, they will be the one who will get the most popular girl in school reputation instead of a whore like Jenna.

As Nate cocked his hand, I had already stood up from my seat to intervene. I wanted to intervene sooner, but I was busy with the grapes.

"Okay. You\'re done." I said and grabbed Nate\'s hand before he could slap Jenna. As he turned towards me, I raised my right leg and kicked him in the balls.

"OOf-" Nate yelped in pain and fell knee first to the floor, finally releasing his grip on Jenna\'s arm. A bright red mark could be seen on her wrist which pissed me off a little bit.

"Oh I\'m sorry. It seems that you\'ve been thinking with your dick, so I decided to give it a rest." I said and stood in front of the shivering Jenna.

"You little-" Ollie almost punched me, but he stopped as I spoke calmly.

"Did all of you have a talk together and decide to commit a crime while sharing collective responsibility for it? You know, things... that would ruin your future if any of them got out?"

Their eyes shook as they realised that they had gotten carried away and almost committed a major crime. As the teenage boys were drunk, I decided to give them one last chance. "Apologise to Jenna right now." I demanded.

"You don\'t have any say in this matter! In fact, all of this is your fault!" Ollie said and took a step forward before he tried to punch me with a sloppy right hook. Sighing inwardly, I grabbed his wrist and tightened the lock further upwards.

"ARG-ARGHH! MY ARM!! MY ARM!!" Ollie screamed in pain as I twisted his hands further upward. "ARGHHHH!" He let out an almost inhuman yell before I whispered to his ear, "Shut up if You don\'t want to lose your hand."

He quickly shut his mouth and whimpered in pain while tearing up in front of his friends.

"Apologise to Jenna right now." I demanded once more as I made him suffer once more, not knowing that my action had caused the girl behind me to look at me with heart shaped eyes. Jacob and Elsa came out of the making out closet at this moment while holding hands and saw the scene from afar.

"I...Need to go." Jacob said to Elsa and released her palm.

"Wait- You don\'t know how to fight!" Elsa said from afar as Jacob had already run away toward my position.

As Nate finally collected himself, he shouted in a high pitched voice as his nuts were still in pain, "Get him. Why are you guys just waiting around?!"

"Don\'t do it guys. You didn\'t do anything wrong just yet. But if you continue, I will make sure you regret it." I warned them as they hesitated.

"DO IT!" Nate shouted once more. The boys decided to follow Nate\'s order as he was the captain of the football team and they were his teammates.

One of the boys lunged at me, so I released Ollie and kicked his butt, making him stumble forward and crash into the other boy before they both fell into the pool together. I considered breaking his wrist entirely, but I had too much drink in me to do it cleanly.

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" The bystanders chanted in excitement as the rumble started. Three boys decided to punch me at the same time, but I only focused on one of them as I saw a big giant joining in the fun.

"UGH!" Jacob arrived and tackled two boys – the ones that I ignored, causing them to fall into the pool. Jacob stopped at the edge of the pool and stumbled there for a second. "Oh shit!" He cursed as he couldn\'t stop himself from falling.

With flailing hands, Jacob almost fell into the water, but I grabbed the waist of his shorts and pulled him back after throwing the other boy into the pool.

"You okay there?" I asked him with a smirk.

"Other than you basically giving me a wedgie, I\'m fine." Jacob replied with an ashen face.

"Don\'t worry. I got your back, like you got mine." I said casually.

Finally standing up despite his hurting nuts, Nate turned toward me and Jacob and said, "Fight me one on one if you dare bitch!" while staring directly at me. Jacob gave me a \'Is he serious looks\' but I responded to Nate.

"Okay sure."

Walking forward, I stood face to face with Nate. "Come on. Punch me or Apologise to Jenna. If you chose the first one, don\'t blame me for what I\'m about to do."

"Uh..Fuck you!" He said and he cocked his punch. The minute he released his hand, I slapped his left cheek with my right hand. The sound of the slap reverberated around the pool area, and Nate was stunned by my wake up call.

"Choose again." I said casually with an innocent smile on my face.

He paused to think before he punched at me again, so I slapped his right cheek with my left hand.

"Again." I said, still with an innocent smile. Elsa walked toward Jenna and checked her wrist.

"Elsa, did you see what he did? He stood up for me!" Jenna said with obsessive eyes that kept following my figure as I continued to bitch-slap Nate.

The bitchy girls were leaving the party after their fun was ruined. They walked toward Elsa together to wish her before leaving. Some of them watched me toying with Nate, and couldn\'t help but bite their lower lips as they were turned on, but their hate toward Jenna trumps their horniness at this moment.

"Elsa. Happy Birty-day. Don\'t hangout with that slut any more. It\'ll ruin you. If you\'re looking for handouts, I can give you an allowance if you follow my back obediently like a dog everyday. Hahahaha!"

Jenna\'s eyes turned murderous as she heard that. She turned toward the girls and bitch-slap the skank who was bad-mouthing her best friend. The blonde cheerleader held her red cheek in disbelief after she got the wits slapped out of her while her eyes shook, and her mouth hung half open.

"Get the fuck out of my house bitch before I call security." Jenna ordered coldly.

"You whore-" The cheerleader girl wanted to fight Jenna, but another girl held her back and said, "She\'s not worth it. Let\'s go."

"Yeah. Run away bitch!" Jenna said in anger from afar toward the running girls before she turned toward me with eyes full of hearts once more.

With a swollen face, Nate said while involuntarily kneeling, "I...sowwy..." he finally gave up after being slapped for the 10th time. The other boys had already come out of the pool, but decided not to do anything after they saw their Captain\'s fate.

"Not to me." I said and nudged my chin toward Jenna. "To her."

"I\'m...sorry Jenna." Nate said with teary eyes.

"Get the fuck out of my house before I call the cops on you!" Jenna yelled at him and chased him away from her house. The crowd dispersed quickly, leaving only me, Jacob, Elsa, Jenna, and a random girl with denim overall and rainbow shirt staying there.

Enid suddenly asked innocently as if she hadn\'t seen the conflict before, "So. When will the cake arrive?"

...

"So, Happy Birthday Elsa. Congrats on your new boyfriend." I said as I toasted to Elsa after the cake arrived. Only 5 people left after the whole fiasco over there. Well, 6 if I included the lone waitress.

After Penny arrived with the cake, she was flabbergasted to see the empty party. She gave me the cake and went to get yelled at by the party planner – only to see that all of the staff there had left. So I invited her to eat the cake together.

"So far, 14 is my favourite age." Elsa said as she looked at Jacob while smiling softly. They continued holding hands after everything had calmed down.

Enid ate some cakes without any concern for others as it was too big a cake for only 6 people. Jenna wanted to resume pestering me, but Elsa dragged her somewhere to bandage her arm, leaving only 4 people in the living room.

"Oh. I need to go to the toilet." Enid said. "Where is it?" She asked me and Jacob.

"Turn left over there. It\'s at the end of the corridor." Jacob answered unexpectedly. I turned toward him and asked, "You still drunk?"

"...No. Why would I still be scared of girls now that I\'m in a relationship with the best one?" Jacob replied with a sly smirk. I punched his bicep and he turned into the wimpy Jacob once more.

"What\'s that for?" Jacob asked while rubbing his sore bicep.

"For being annoying." I said and walked to the lonesome waitress.

"Don\'t worry Penny, I will talk to your boss after this." I said to Penny.

From staring at her plate, she turned toward me with puffed out cheeks that was full of cake and try to speak with her mouth full, "Its\'s okayhs."

"What?"

She swallowed the cake and said clearly this time. "It\'s okay. I think...I\'m going to quit this job and accept my friend\'s offer to work at the cheesecake factory."

"Ah I see. I think that\'s better anyway than having to continue to devalue yourself by working here."

"You think so too, right?" Penny agreed with me. "I don\'t know how Hollywood people do it. I can\'t debase myself like this even if I think that it\'ll help me to land a role in a movie or a commercial."

Nodding at her words, I said, "You know, I am an artist myself, and I\'m going to be making a few music videos soon, so I\'m probably going to need some actress."

"Wait. You\'re an artist?" Penny asked in disbelief and looked at me up and down. "Are you just saying that to pick me up?"

"Nope. I am actually signed under a new, big entertainment agency and we\'re in the middle of recording an album. Also, you have some cake on your cheek." I said and I grabbed a napkin from a table nearby before helping her wipe the cake away.

"I am not promising you to get the part. I\'m only saying that you can have a place to audition if you\'re looking for a part in the future. If I do need you as an actress, could I call you?"

"Yes of course!" Penny said in excitement and hugged me closely. Then, she suddenly gave me a peck on the right cheek before going to the left, but I stumbled at just the wrong (E/N: Or right?) moment , causing her to give me a peck on the lips.

At this moment, Jenna, Elsa, and Enid returned to the living room at the same time and saw the dreaded sight. Jenna\'s smiling face turned frozen in a second, while Enid was excitedly texting someone.

"Oh shit." Penny muttered as she slowly backed her face away from mine.

"That\'s okay. It was an accident. Do you have any way to get home, or should I give you a ride?" I asked Penny calmly after the incident despite the hostile looks she was getting from Jenna.

"NO!" Jenna shouted in objection.
