Ellerie's POV
I got off the island and walked over to where the drinks are. I grabbed the Tito's and poured a lot into a plastic cup. I poured some random juice into the cup, not really caring what was in it any way. I went down in the basement where more people were. I couldn't find Luke so I sat down on the couch and watched Dylan and Ethan destroy some kids in beer pong.

"Come dance with me!" Grace said dragging me into the group of teenagers. I laughed and downed more of my drink. We danced together for a while until my drink was empty. I walked over to the drink table where Luke also was.

"Hey cutie." He smiled at me grabbing a beer.

"Hi Lu." I said standing next to him. I poured random liquor into my cup.

"Let's go play beer pong." He said walking downstairs.

"Alright." I said sipping my drink. I don't think he could tell anything was wrong which was good. I was starting to feel buzzed. I wanted to forget this night anyways.

We played beer pong and won then I went back upstairs to fill my cup again.

"I'll be back Lu." I said to him while leaving the table.

"Ok I'll be down here." He said kissing me cheek.

Once I got upstairs there was a group of boys with John Aiken, the kid hosting the party.

"Hey John." I said.

"Sup Elle!" He said. I went to fill my cup for the third time that night as most of John's friends filled into the basement. "How have you been?" He asked walking behind me. I never really liked John as a person I just like his parties. He also has creeped me out many times but I've had too much to drink tonight anyways.

"Ok." I said trying to move past him to go back downstairs.

"Hey where ya going hottie." He said putting his hands on my hips.

"Downstairs to my boyfriend." I said as I tried to pry his hands off me.

"No I don't think you are." He said holding my waist tighter. "Who is he anyways I'm better than him for sure."

"It's Luke." I said quietly. I was feeling tipsy and I felt like I couldn't do anything about it.

"Luke Hughes?" He said surprised. "He's out of your league."

I just looked down and tried to shove by him. "Your not going anywhere Ellie." He said in a deep voice.

"Don't call me that." I said calmly.

"I can call you anything I want." He smiled down at me.

"No you can't." I said louder this time.

"So you don't listen to me now?" He asked leaning in. I could smell the weed on him. "I'll show you what you deserve." He said pulling me with him towards the stairs.

"John stop." I said angrily.

"You be quiet I can do what I want." He said picking me up and walking up the stairs.

I tried to kick him but it was no use. "Stop right now or this could be so much worse." He said walking into his room. He put me down and held me against the wall.

"Don't you dare touch me." I said trying not to sound scared.

"Oh don't be that way princess." He said kissing me. I held my mouth shut praying that someone would come looking for me.
