Alex 9:30pm
I walked up the secluded street mentally preparing myself. The music's so loud I can hear it from here and I know a lot of people are there.
I prefer to be alone or in a small group. If it wasn't for Lila insisting, I wouldn't be here.
I felt the stares of many people as I entered the large house. The sound of a weekend song is playing clearly and everyone's dancing along to it. Red cups were scattered everywhere, it's so dark in here, and people are wearing glow sticks around their necks and wrists.
As I walk into the living room I'm handed two glowsticks I quickly put them around my wrists while searching for Lila. I reached for my phone and texted her.
"Lila where are you? I'm here." Several minutes went by without a response. I decided to look in more rooms,
Before I could check in the bathroom Nate's friends stop me, gesturing me to take a sip out of their cup. I didn't want to and resisted but they overpowered me forcing me to drink all of it.
"It burns." They walk away laughing while I cough and rub my neck. I stepped into the bathroom and I stopped dead in my tracks. Not being able to utter a word. Lila and some buff guy were fully making out.
"Oh, I see you've made it Alex." Lila says with a sick smile on her face.
"What-t, I don't under-." She smirks a bit and I know she isn't drunk. she looks toward the dude and slightly tilts her head. As she walks out I'm dragged by the guy and I begin to feel a bit dizzy.
The crowd splits making space in the middle of the room and I'm thrown there. Lila stands in front of me.
"Come on, don't tell me you actually thought I liked you." she says slyly. My eyes widen even more.
"I was just playing with you as a dare."
"I -I don't believe..." I stop in the middle of my sentence as the crowd erupts in laughter. I feel tears well up in my eyes and heat rush up my face.
In a second my shirt is ruined by fruit punch thrown at me. Without even thinking I ran making my way throw the crowd, Into a random room.
Before I enjoy the silence of this room and rest I hear a voice. The lights are off but I don't even have to look to know who it is, Nate.
"What are you doing in my room." He says angrily walking across the room and quickly switching lights. I lower my head so he can't see my face.
"I'm sorry." I whisper still not looking up.
"You're Sorry?! Get out!" he yells. I can't take this anymore. I'm so tired of it all.
"Just hit me already!' I scream looking directly at his sharp, green eyes. His expression quickly changes from angry to worried than angry again. He moves closer lifting his hand.
I close my eyes waiting for the hard impact. But instead, I'm greeted with a soft one. His warm hand caresses my cheek. He slowly wiped the tears as they traveled down my face.
"Alex? Why are you crying? " he asks through gritted teeth. I don't respond.
"Tell, Me." he says emphasizing each word and grabbing my arm. I look at him with pleading eyes. he mumbles something then lowers his arm to my wrist.
I follow him as he leads me to his closet. He digs around in it pulling out a hoodie and a towel and handing them to me.
" The bathroom's over there, I don't have any pants that will fit you, sorry."
