Makayla's pov
Jett introduces me to most of the people and it doesn't take me long to make friends. I'm getting rather close with a boy named Ryland, he seems really cool

I think he might have a drinking problem though..

I notice Vinnie staring in my direction as Ryland tries to take me to the dance floor

I decide I have enough alcohol in my system to dance with him and not give a shit if I look dumb

I only saw Ryland as a friend, especially since there's been weird tension between Vinnie and I

I'm distracted by Ryland for a few moments, I decide to quickly scan the crowd trying to find Vinnie

I saw him and was about to walk over to him until I notice he's shoving his toungue down some blonde girls throat

Oh

"I'll be back" I yell over the loud music, ryland nods and walks to a large group of people and immediately starts chatting

I sneak into Chases house through a door that leads to his room, I quickly get out of there as to not invade his privacy and find a bathroom

I slam the door shut as I started to cry

Why is this affecting me so much?

I mean obviously, I have feelings for him. But I shouldn't be crying over him in my friends bathroom during a party

Right?

I hear a knock on the door and a soft "Makayla?"

It's Ryland

"Im just in the bathroom" my voice cracks

"Hey come on open up" I hear him say from the other side of the door

I open the door and he stands there with his arms out

He lets me hug him for as long as I need

"What's going on" he asks looking down at me

"I saw vinnie making out with a another girl" I sniffle

"Wait you and Vinnie?!" he exclaims

"No we aren't together, but I heard him tell his friends he has feelings for me and we have almost kissed a couple times" I say realizing how pathetic this shit sounds

"Then why is he swappin' spit with some other chick?" he questions

"I have no clue" I say starting to break down again

"Hey hey don't cry" he hands me a bottle of 42

I chuckle and take a swig from the bottle

"Now let's get back out there, not to make matters worse but I think him and that bitch left" he says putting his arm around me

"Hey come on don't be rude" I scoff smacking his hand that's resting over my shoulder

He lets out a laugh and as we walk out the music takes over my thoughts, Vinnie is nowhere in sight

Ouch

After a little while longer, a wave of exhaustion rushes over me and I search through the crowd to find my group all together

"Hey Mack!" Jack yells

He's clearly intoxicated

"Hi Jack" I smile

"Hey have you seen Vinnie" he asks clearly searching for him

"Um he left.. with a girl" I sigh

"What why the fuck would he do that he's like in love with you" he burps at the end of his sentence

"What?!" i yell

"Oh sorry excuse me" he says

"No, no I don't care about that what do you mean Vinnie's in love with me?" I question

"Man he talks about you all the time" he shouts

Did he think something was going on between Ryland and I?

Fuck

I'm snapped back to reality as Jack yells "I see someone I know, I hope you're okay, bye!"

I watch him stumble away shouting at a different crowd of people

I tap Alex on the shoulder "hey I think I'm just gonna Uber home I'm not feeling well" I say holding my stomach

"Okay I'll let you know when it's here" he says pulling out his phone

"Oh no you don't have to-" "too late" he smiles flipping his phone so I can see the "purchased" notification

"Thank you, really" I say placing a hand on his shoulder

He smiles and says "get home safe" and turns back around

I see Jett dancing with a bunch of friends so I figured I should let him know I'm leaving

I walk up and tap him on the shoulder "hey I'm going" I shout

"Are you okay?" He asks

"Yeah I'm just not feeling great" I reply

I figured I wouldn't tell him about what happened with Vinnie, considering he doesn't really know what was going on between us yet

"Okay, see you later, text me when you're home" he says

After 15 minutes the Uber shows up and I thank Chase for the party, Ryland for being my new best friend and Alex one more time for the uber

The ride home was nice, I finally got to see some of the city, for a moment I forgot about everything that happened

I walk in the front doors and see Vinnie sitting on the huge beanbags, his eyes widen at the sight of me

"What the fuck are you doing here?!" he whisper yells

"I wanted to come home, why the fuck do you care? And why are we whispering?" I whisper yell back

"I made the drinks Vin" the blonde says coming around the corner from the kitchen

Vin?

She pauses and looks at me "who the fuck are you?" she spits

"I live here?" I say sliding the high heels off my feet

"You? Live in this house?" she scoffs

"I'm not the only one who lives here" I say starting to walk up the stairs

Why does she need to ask me so many fucking questions

"Why are you-" she continues but I cut her off "I can't hear you!" I yell as I get to the top of the stairs

God that was awful

I immediately throw my purse onto my, still deflated, air mattress and head into the bathroom to shower, I smell of liquor and smoke

I hop in the shower and was about to put my favourite song on until I remembered who sings it

Vinnie.

I decide to just play a random playlist instead

After my shower I do whatever else I need to get ready for bed, quickly braid my hair and made a bed on the floor

I can't think about this for one more second
