Chapter Fifty
Music was heard pumping from the huge house as Liz and Chris made there way inside. Once they crossed the threshold of the door Chris went his separate way leaving Liz alone as he pushed his way through the crowds of people as the song "Cruel Summer" by Bananarama played.
"Hot summer streets
And the pavements are burning
I sit around
Too hot to handle, baby
Trying to smile
But the air is so heavy and dry
"Chris wait up!" Liz shouted but it was too late he was already gone. She had tried to make the best of the situation with Chris but it looked like he had other plans.
Liz sighed and scanned the room hoping to see a familiar face.
"Parker!" Jack shouted as he made his way through the crowd and gave her a huge hug. "You made it! Welcome." he said smiling.
"I could never turn down a party and besides you and your sister Andie were way to generous to have this for the cast and everything." Liz beamed.
"LIZ" Alex beamed as Isabel, Charlie, Andie, Audrey, Jen and a group of guys came over to her.
"Oh Liz these are my Sigma Ep Frat brothers Moskwitz, Brady, Blossom, and Pete Willard." Jack said as the group introduced themselves.
"Wow Nice to meet you all. I am Liz Parker. Jack I didn't know you were in a Frat! Sorry but you don't seem the Frat type." Liz said in shock.
"That's what I said but then again Jack-attack here is full of surprises." Andie chimed in laughing as she patted her brother on the back.
"No if any thing Jack is family and a brother who we all love. He has our back and we have his so it's an even exchange." Pete Willard said clinking his beer bottle to Jacks.
"Thanks. Yes these guys were so welcoming to me and didn't care that I was gay they respected me and accepted me with welcome arms." Jack smiled as his Frat brothers pat him on the back smiling.
"Oh and one thing is old Jack here knows how to throw a party!! A McPhee party is always a good time!" Blossom and Brady said smiling.
"No kidding" Dawson said coming up from behind. "I think some of the brothers party throwing techniques have rubbed off on old Jack here I have been to many a Sigma Ep party in my day and they always have been a blast!" Dawson said smiling.
"Aw our horary brother for life Mr. Leary. Good to see you man." Pete said as they shook hands.
"Well I will check you guys later I just saw some hot girls walk by check you later." Moskwitz said grinning as the rest of the Sigma Ep frat brothers followed him.
"See you guys later. Liz again amazing job tonight." Dawson yelled as he tried to catch up with the rest of the Sigma Ep brothers.
Strange voices are saying
What did they say?
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got right out of hand
"There's my leading lady. How was filming?" Max asked as he kissed Liz and placed his arms around her.
"It was intense. I am just glad it's over." Liz sighed hoping that things between her and Chris would eventually cool off and be resolved.
"Are you sure you are ok?" Max asked concerned he knew that Liz was not ok and wanted to find out why.
"Yes it's just your brother is in one of his moods but its fine." Liz said as she kissed him.
"OK I hate to break up the love fest but can we go and dance?" Alex cried.
"Alex you’re starting to sound like Maria!" Liz laughed as Alex smiled.
"Well I have to fill in while she is out with her Lover!" Alex said as Liz, Max, Isabel, Andie and Jack burst out laughing.
"I think it will be a miracle if they both make it home alive. That is if they haven't killed each other already." Max chuckled remembering how frustrated Michael was getting ready and trying to get his hair just right while Max gave him a last minute pep talk to ease his pre-date jitters.
"Well we will soon find out when they show up at the party later." Isabel said as her and Alex made there way towards the dance floor.
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
"Well Jen and I are going to go and check out the guys. I mean after all I have to be a good host see you guys later." Andie said as she grabbed Jen arm and made their way into the crowd.
"Speaking of hot guys I think I saw some that I so have to check out for Joey and me." Audrey beamed excitedly.
"Wait Audrey Joey is dating Pacey." Charlie said looking at her.
"So she still can look and I am not about to let my roommate and closest friend miss out on some eye candy. Like Duh Charlie how clueless can you be. Oh guy in the blue shirt 10 o'clock." Audrey cried as she pointed to the far left hand corner and grabbed Charlie’s arm.
"Lets go" Audrey said as she dragged Charlie away as he rolled his eyes and waved good bye to Max and Liz
The city is crowded
My friends are away
And I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle
So I got to get up and go
"So we are alone at last." Max said smiling as he looked down at Liz.
"I believe so Mr. Evans." Liz said cloyingly
"Mmm I can think of a few things we could do." Max whispered into Liz's ear as he placed kisses along her neck line.
"Mmm...But Max what about the party?" Liz sighed as the two of them looked around at the massive amounts of people dancing, driniking, and laughing the night away.
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel,
It's a cruel cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
"Do you really want to stay?" Max asked as they looked at the display in front of them.
They then looked at one another. "You want to get out of here?" Liz asked smiling.
"Yes. Let’s go." Max said as he kissed Liz and grabbed her hand as they headed towards the front door.
"Oh look who I found some wondering Party people just like us Jo" Pacey smiled as he and Joey walked up to Max and Liz blocking their exit to the front door.
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel,
It's a cruel cruel summer
Now you're gone
"Pacey! Joey!" Liz said smiling as she let go of Max's hand and hugged both of them.
"Max! Liz! good to see you guys." Joey said as her and Pacey hugged Max and Liz.
Pacey then placed a Hawaiian lei over Joey's neck.
"Jack and Andie really went overboard with the tropical theme. I feel like I am on Gilligan’s Island with this thing." Joey said laughing as she placed lei over Pacey's neck.
""You guys weren't leaving?" Joey asked looking at them with excitement.
"Yeah cause you are going to miss quite a show. Never a dull moment at a McPhee party." Pacey said laughing as he looked at them.
Max and Liz looked at each other not knowing what to do. "No we weren't leaving." Max said hesitating.
"We were just getting some fresh air." Liz smiled as she looked at Max.
"Fresh air. Yeah some fresh air would do me some good right about now. See you guys later." Max said as he grabbed Liz's hand and waved good bye to Pacey and Joey as they ran outside.
---------------------------------
Max and Liz made their way towards the back of the house by the gazebo.
"God I love how your mind works." Max said huskily as he attacked Liz's mouth in sweet passionate kisses.
"Well I had to think of something to get you alone. I missed you all day." Liz said breathlessly as she held Max close to her as she felt her back hit one of the beams of the gazebo as she kissed Max hard.
-------------------------
Back inside Chris grabbed a drink and headed towards where his friends were.
"Chris Wolf." Drue smirked as he saw Chris approach.
Drue Valentine." Chris said as they clinked their glasses in a warm welcome.
"You’ve meet my girlfriend Miss Hannah Van Wining of the Barl Harbor Van Wining
"Chris Wolf well this is a pleasant surprise. How are you?" Hannah smiled as she greeted Chris in a hug.
"Never better" Chris laughed slightly as he took a sip from his drink.
"Chris here is dating the Miss Elizabeth Parker daughter of Mr. Jeff parker and owner of the Crash 47 Hotel Casino in Santa Fe." Drue beamed.
"Wow Impressive" Hannah smiled as she took a dip of her drink.
"Speaking of which were is the lovely Liz tonight?" Drue asked looking at Chris.
"We broke up" Chris said bitterly as he took a swig from his beer bottle.
"Ha ha funny Wolf." Drue laughed "This is coming from the guy who practically wrote the book when it came to getting girls" Drue said to Hannah as he looked at Chris.
Chris was silent.
"Wait your serious!" Drue said in shock.
"Yes” Chris said gloomily.
"God Chris it's bad enough your sister and that geek I mean her and Todd were a perfect match and hear I thought you finally had it together with Parker I thought you would be wiser then to make the same mistake as your sister Isabel. I expected better from you" Drue said appalled.
"I mean really the way she hangs around that freak of nature it's enough to make the historical society as well as me sick. Next thing you know that bafoon Pacey Witter will want try a grab at getting in with that charity case Josephine Potter." Hannah laughed as she looked at Isabel dancing with Alex on the dance floor.
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
Drue smirked at her comment as he looked at Chris who seemed hurt.
"Oh come on Wolf we were only kidding." Drue said trying to catch is breath.
"Pacey and Joey are fine as I am concerned! Look this is my fight leave Isabel out of it ok!" Chris spat.
"Sure but just don't be the black sheep and be the stain that tarnishes our world. We have worked to hard to get to where we are so don't go and ruin it because your sister thinks she is in LOVE." Drue said coldly.
"OK fine Drue but I am warning you if you do anything to Isabel I swear I will hurt you." Chris spat as he looked deep into Drue's eyes.
"Deal"
"Oh god there is that basket case Andie. I can't believe that Abby Morgan was friends with that psycho." Hannah sighed.
"I never understood that one. I mean I could see Jen and Abby more together but Andie not so much. Jen fit right into our group perfectly being from New York and all." Hannah said as she sipped her drink.
"Yes Jen Linely. Now she is a vixen that’s for sure. She had men eating out of the palm of her hand. Of course I never could understand why Abby ended up with you Chris when she could have any guy she wanted." Drue said as he looked at Jen dancing.
"I Abby and I were in love." Chris sighed as her face flashed into his mind as he slightly smiled.
"Oh please get your head out of the clouds did you really think that Miss Abigail Morgan would end up with you. Dream on. She was only using you so that she could move on to the next best thing that came her way" Hannah said in shock.
Chris then looked at Hannah as rage filled his eyes. "DON'T YOU EVER TALK ABOUT ABBY THAT WAY! Chris said as he grabbed Hannah’s arm.
"I loved her! But you…you don't know what love is if truth be known you are only going out with Drue because you know he can buy you things and stay in your little social circles but he doesn’t know in order to stay in your percious social circles you practically slept with all of Capeside before you were sent off to boarding school in CT. All so you could just to enjoy your wealthy rich life! But then again I am sure Drue already knew about that before he decided to go out with you." Chris spat as Drue looked at Hannah in shock as tears ran down her cheeks.
"Is it true Hannah?" Drue said as Hannah sobbed.
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel,
It's a cruel cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
"Alright Wolf you had your fun this time but just know this you better get your act together and fast or else next time you will be left with nothing your brother will be the one laughing at you." Drue spat as Chris left the room alone.
