"A P O L L O"
I cant believe this, actually no, I refuse to believe it. And all because of that STUPID prophecy. I couldn't believe it was right, but of course Axton was right, he's always right.
I hastily stepped away from Nancy and immediately headed to where the drinks where. The stench in the room was close to unbearable, even for me. I grabbed another drink and downed it in one go. "Apollo, you cant drink away all your sorrows!" My best friend since kindergarten, Axton, yelled at me. I flung my arms in the air trying to show the excessive amount of anger I was feeling, "The prophecy was bloody true! The one thing about this whole ordeal that we passed off as legend, how the hell could we be so naive, Axton!"
I sighed and threw my now empty cup on the floor, "And the worst part about this whole thing Apollo, everytime, you will hurt her, until she learns to accept you!" He snapped, pointing a very accusing finger at me.
"You don't get it Axton! I don't care about her, she doesn't care about me, so we will proceed to not know of each others existence. I can't change, it's her that needs to make the choice."

Running upstairs and hopefully to the nearest bathroom, I take a wrong turn and bang into Apollo once again. I had bigger problems than him to deal with right now. I slammed open a random door and was horrified at the scene, Mable, making out with one of the most arrogant jocks, oh god. I proceeded to open many other doors until i found the right one, luckily not finding myself face to face with another nightmarish incident. I stumbled toward the tap, and enjoyed the wonderful feeling of relief when the cold metal came in contact with my now what felt like, my flaming being.
Before I had the chance to turn on the tap, water gushed out of it, and sprayed all over the tiled room. Thankfully, it was cold in here, unlike the heat of the wild party downstairs. I sunk down infront of the bathtub and buried my head in my arms, the heat was only getting worse, now engulfing my entire being, there was nowhere that wasn't scorching hot. There was a knock at the door, and a dark skinned boy with a worried face popped his head inside. "Oh my god! Are you all right?" It took everything in me not to just yell and scream at him that I was obviously not okay. "No!" I yelled, it definitely came out harsher than supposed to.
"Okay Laike, just calm down, and I'll get you out of here" He soothed, if I wasnt in so much pain, I would have been grateful for his attempt of calming me down. "The fire...it- won't stop!" I cried, I could see the shadow of somebody standing behind the boy at the door, but it was too dark to see his face. "Come on, help me, get her out of here!" The boy screamed at the person behind him. There was now a small crowd gathering around the door, all watching for my next move. "Someone call an ambulance!" A very familiar voice called, the door was completely opened and many people filed in, all looking very disheveled, and the last thing that I remember seeing was him.
