We were still outside when Rine left. Still in the same circle but only two people missing. We continued chatting amongst ourselves and let the love birds be together. "Let's play truth or dare,"
"Nope," I shake my head repeatedly. The last time we had done this game I was in middle school and I did not have a lovely experience. That was a story for another day- plus, this game always had a history of something going bad. Or there were personal dared or truths.
"Yeah let's do it," Levine smiles. She loved to stir the pot.
"Nope," I stand by my answer. That's when my phone beeps. I take it out from Darek's jacket- yeah... another story for later.
I see the text on my lock screen. It's from Rine.
From; S is for sister - don't judge.
- I don't think Alexander is who I thought he was.
Ps.
don't tell the guys.
I frown at message not knowing what the hell was happening. Weren't they just all lovey dovey just moments ago? But I remember my mom always told me, "Don't believe everything you see, it could be all hidden in disguise.'
Things hadn't really been going well for them, until recently. Me being their biggest shipper was hoping they get through it but that was my best friend he was with. My sister. I wouldn't give two fucks if he was hurt in the process- if he hurt her.
That's right people! I can cuss.
"Beauty, what's wrong?" I look up to his emerald orbs. His voice soft and radiated with genuine concern. Guilt rushed through me. I didn't wanna lie to him- to anybody. But I couldn't tell them even if I wanted to. Serine trusts me. Without bothering to do muster up a lie- I grab the arm of two toned hair girl next to me and gently force her to stand up with me. She doesn't blow my cover nor mess up.
As per.
"A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do, Darek," she shrugs and I drag her along to the back door. "What's up?" she asks once there's a good distance between the guys and us.
"I think Rine's in trouble," I mutter but loud enough for her to hear. I hand her over my phone and she unlocks it. Three seconds later, "That bitch," she hisses glaring into space. She hands me back my phone and we rush inside- the music is still loud and clear on. Every body is partying and I almost text her asking where she is but I assume, in her room. Hopefully. How would l find her through this bunch of people. With me in front- "Dude are seriously walking in there with nothing to protect you?"
I don't argue with her but just take the pepper spray in ny hand and I almost choke when I see the lip stick, pepper spray tazer. It was an actual thing. I don't question her or anything and just make my way towards her room. We make our way up the stairs which feels like a hundred, especially now that we're in a rush. "Don't you wanna take your heels off?" She shakes her head almost aggressively. "Never know if I might need it for that-"
"Okay, okay, chillax." she exhales when we reach the top of the white stairs, which is covered in carpet to avoid any accidents. We finally make it to her room and that's when I raise my hand up to knock but a hand stops me. "Haven't you seen in the movies, how an idiot knocks, while the villain inside is getting away with it?" Before words could come out my mouth, she barges in and I stand behind her.
Our eyes search the room
And she's nowhere to be found.

Serine
My eyes were open after moments of me being passed out. I was sitting on a chair, in what seemed like a warehouse- one of those dusty, rusty brown ones. It's now that I realised I've never seen a clean one before.
