On Thin Ice

18.

Autumn Kingsley

This is fucking torture.

My hand is firmly gripped onto Raven's arm as we push past tightly-packed masses of people.
Lilah following behind us.

We eventually manage to make it to the kitchen where Raven hands me over a drink.

"Where's Lilah gone?" I practically scream, trying to make my voice audible over the blaring music that was playing.

"Probably went upstairs with Grace."

I nod and take a sip out of the cup.

Just as I was about to take another sip, a pair of arms wrap around my waist and I feel someone lay their chin on my shoulder.

My head whips around and I'm met with a pair of green eyes.

"Jesus Brady you scared me."

He laughs before letting go of me and propping his elbow onto the kitchen counter.

"Before you ask about him, I don't know where he is so-"

I cut him off, "ask about who?"

Brady smiles at me. "Atlas. You're beloved boyfriend."

I smack him on his arm.

"I wasn't even going to ask about him. Plus he isn't my-"

He presses his index finger to my lips, cutting me off. "I don't want to hear it."

Straightening himself up, he gives Raven a wave before grabbing two bottles of vodka.

I roll my eyes.

Alcoholic.

"Stay safe ladies, and inform me if you catch a glimpse of any cute guys hanging around!" Brady winks before exiting the kitchen and disapprearing into the crowds of people.

I finish the remainder of my drink and place the cup down onto the marbled counter next to me.

"I'm just gonna go to the washroom real quick." Raven nods.

"Do you want me to come with you?"

I shake my head, "no it's okay, I'll be fine."

She nods again before taking another big gulp of her drink. Cautiously, I make my way out of the kitchen and up the stairs.

Okay maybe I should have brought Raven with me cause right now...

I have no idea where the bathroom is.

My eyes trail over the different doors in front of me. I decide to try the door near the end of the hallway and immediately regret it as I catch a quick glimpse of Kaden and a random girl.

Panicking, I shut the door my left hand shielding my eyes.

I think I'm going to be sick.

"Autumn?" I whip my body around.

Lincoln. "What happened?"

"I don't even want to describe what I just saw." I remove my hand from my face to look at him. He starts laughing.

"Bathroom's that way." He nudges his head to the door at the end of the hallway.

I send him a weak smile. "Thanks Linc"

I stumble over to the door at the end of the hallway. I try twisting the door knob.

Locked.

Groaning, I slide down the wall and sit on the floor, cold ass floor may I add.
