purloined booze,
 
 Chase invited
 
 elated, pumped
 
 up, full of Bree’s
 
 magical ego,
 
 Brendan inflated
 
 chastised, brought
 
 back down
 
 a notch or two,
 
 Leigh instigated
 
 then all the way,
 
 chest-deep into
 
 shit when
 
 Mom finally noticed
 
 the tattoo, my
 
 meaningless, forever
 
 symbol of love. Still,
 
 Bree swore
 
 whatever
 
 punishment
 
 lay ahead,
 
 only one thing
 
 could have
 
 improved
 
 that phat,
 
 fabulous day:
 
 a big bite
 
 of the monster.
 
 Grounded UFN
 
 Until further notice. No
