Saturday was finally here but Ashton wasn't entirely excited for the day because that meant that Willow would drag him and Zackary to a party and just their luck, Austin was throwing a party and he invited everyone in school and somewho people from the college in town also heard about it, but nobody was really surprised about that.

The three friends were getting ready for the party at Ashton's house because his parents were never home and he didn't have any siblings like Willow and Zackary had. Ashton was laying on his bed slowly falling asleep while Zackary was sitting next to him staring at Willow while she was standing in front of Ashton's mirror that he had in the right corner of his room.

"Are you almost done Gracie? Ash is falling asleep" Zackary said before he slapped a hand down hard on Ashton's stomach making him groan and open his eyes to glare at Zackary.

"Watch it Zack" Ashton grumbled before he sat up on his bed so he could see Willow. "But like he asked, are you almost done?"

Willow stood staring at herself in the mirror to look behind her at the two boys who were staring at her with tired eyes. Willow nodded before she looked at herself in the mirror one last time before she walked over to her shoes and put them on.

"Yeah, we can go now" Willow answered with a smile before she walked out of the room with her bag in her hand and one of Ashton's black shirts.

"Was that my shirt?" Ashton mumbled with a sigh.

"Yup" Zack answered with a chuckle.

Willow always took their clothes and never got them back, because if they wanted the clothes back they had to go to her place to get them and meet all of her family.

Zackary and Ashton looked at each other before both of them groaned and got up from the bed and started following Willow, who was already standing next to the door. Willow was wearing a black short dress and some black sneakers, she had curled her hair before she got to Ashton's place. She was also wearing one of his black shirts over her dress so she doesn't get too cold at the party.

Ashton was wearing mostly black like he always does but he also had a pair of dark blue jeans paired with the black shoes he wore all the time. His blond hair was like it always was, messy. He was also wearing his rings that he was always wearing. Zackary had on a light blue long sleeve shirt paired with some dark gray jeans and some gray shoes.

The three of them walked out of the house and Ashton locked the door after them while Willow and Zackary walked over to the car and got in, Willow sitting in the backseat while Zackary was sitting in the passenger seat. After Ashton had locked the door he walked to the car and got into the driver's side before they were on the way to the party.

When they got to the party and Ashton had parked on the side of the road, they all looked up to the house and saw a lot of teenagers. Some were drinking or making out on the grass, there was even a person passed out in the bushes. Ashton shook his head before signing and getting out of the car and locking it after Willow and Zackary got out.

"We can leave around 12 o'clock" Willow said to them as they walked up to the house.

"Yeah" Zackary yelled over the loud music that was in the house.

The three of them walked into the house and ducked through all the drunk people who had a drink in their hand while they were dancing and at the same time screamed the words to the music that was playing. When they had gotten to the kitchen where all the drinks were, they grabbed some of the alcohol but not Ashton as he grabbed a soda because he was driving the three of them home later.

A guy walked up to Willow as she was sipping on her drink that probably was vodka and some soda because she loved her vodka. The guy leaned down so his mouth was next to her ear as he whispered something into her ear making her give him a big smile and nod her head yes at whatever he asked her.

"I'm going to go dance!" Willow yelled at Zackary and Ashton before she took a hold of the guy who whispered into her ears, hand and dragged him with her to the dancefloor.

"I'm going to find Austin, he wanted to play some beer pong," Zackary said to Ashton before he walked off to find Austin.

Ashton sighed before he walked out of the kitchen to the stairs because he wanted to look for a bathroom that he kind of could hide in because he didn't really like to party but Willow always dragged him and Zackary with her to parties. He opened a couple doors and some he closed fairly quickly because there was someone in there and Ashton didn't want to stay and watch what they were doing.

Ashton opened the last door in the hallway and to his luck it was an empty bathroom that he could hide in. He hurried inside and closed the door after him before he locked the door and slid down against the door so he was sitting on the floor instead. He closed his eyes and sighed once again.

"Hello?" Ashton heard someone say inside the bathroom, making his eyes snap open as he looked at the way the voice came from. He looked around and saw a head sticking up from the bathtub. "Are you okay?"

Ashton moved closer to the guy sitting in the bathtub giggling to himself. The guy in the bathtub looked up from his bottle and looked at Ashton with a big smile.

"Hi, I'm William. But my friends call me Willie '' They guy in the bathtub whose name was William said.

"Okay... Why are you sitting in the bathtub?" Ashton questioned crouching down on the floor in front of the bathtub.

"I don't know." William mumbled before getting pulled out of the bathtub by Ashton.

"Do you want me to call someone?" Ashton asked.

"My older brother Connor is here" William answered.

"Come on then, we can see if we find him" Ashton said as he took a hold of William's hand as they walked out of the bathroom down the stairs to look for Connor.

"William? Are you drunk?" They heard a voice say from the side of them.

"Con!" William said happily as he gave his brother a big hug.

"I found him upstairs in the bathtub hugging a bottle to his chest" Ashton said to Connor who looked at his brother for a moment before looking at Ashton.

"Will, have you called Ryder?" Connor asked but his brother shook his head no. "You have to call him."

"I will call him but you have to wait for him outside" Connor said before pulling his phone out of his pocket to call someone called Ryder.

"I can wait outside with him," Ashton said as William moved away from his brother to Ashton and hugged his arm while Connor nodded before he started talking to Ryder.

"He will be here in a couple of minutes," Connor said to Ashton.

Ashton nodded before he and William moved outside and took a seat on the side of the pavement, to wait for this Ryder person. Ashton removed his jacket and put it over William's shoulder's when he saw that he was shivering.
