It was my spring break of my freshmen year of college, and as usual I was going nowhere for spring break because I didn't have the cash. My parents both came from big families and had to pay their own ways through college. This made them think, for some unknown reason, that me paying my way through college would teach me good money handling skills that I could use later on in life. I was 18, and because of this I was stuck with no parties and no hot chicks. Since I was home for spring break, my parents decided that we would go visit my cousin, Jennifer, for her 21st birthday. This excited me because if we could get there in time I could go to the party I knew Jennifer's friends were holding for her. Normally, they would have done this in some exotic location, but since they had all spent their money shopping, they were all staying for spring break too.
We left for the 3 ½ hour trip to my cousin's house at about 11 am, but to my dismay because of a severe wreck on the interstate the trip ended up taking 6 hours. When we arrived around 5 pm, I found that Jennifer had already gone to the party and that I was stuck at the house. After being bored for the rest of the day I decided to turn in for the night. I knew I would be sleeping on the couch because they only had one guest bedroom and my parents got that. So I fell asleep watching tv sometime after my aunt, uncle, and parents had gone to bed.
Somewhere around 3:00 am Jennifer stumbles into the house with her friend Tara waking me from a very good dream about me and my friend's ex-girlfriend. I asked her quietly, "Why is Tara here? Shouldn't she have gone back to her house?"
"Her dad would have killed her if she had come home drunk. She told him she wouldn't drink tonight. Would you mind if she slept on the other couch?" Jennifer babbled drunkenly.
"No, of course not. This isn't my house." I said
