Chapter: Seventy-Nine

"Just as we thought," he sighed.

"What?" I questioned.

"I'll explain soon. Stay here, please."

At least he was going to help her. No, I didn't like her either, but just the same, I didn't want anything happening to her because some stupid guys wanted to take advantage of her. I watched as he walked over and began speaking with them. At first, they looked ready to argue with him until I saw looks of fear cross their faces and they slowly backed off. What did he do? He started talking to Mandy and then she chuckled, grabbing onto his arm and I walked over to join them.

"Your so handsome," she slurred. "Way better than Zan, or whatever his name is."

Yes, she was clearly drunk.

"You were right, and I'm sure Clary has already warned you. That's one of the reasons we came tonight."

"But I haven't finished the drink," she whined, and he quickly took it out of her hand.

"You don't need it. Geez, what is it with these girls' parents not teaching them anything? One girl is upstairs passed out, and the other is drunk, too. Where's the fourth one? Julia?"

"I don't know, but it might be a good idea to find her."

"I'll go look for her. Why don't you stay here with her?"

"Okay sure," I said, taking the seat beside her, kind of freaked she might fall.

"Where's the hot guy going?" she asked.

"He's going to try to find Julia."

"Oh, Julia. Yeah, she's upstairs already doing well, you know."

"With who?" I asked in slight worry.

"I don't know. One of the guys they were with I was talking to."

"What?" I asked in a panic.

"I don't know some guy."

Shoot, I needed to do something, but I couldn't leave her alone either. What was with these guys? What was with these girls I used to think were so untouchable in high school? Every one of them seemed to so easily get in danger tonight. Did these just happen here often?

"Zeke, Lily," I called as I noticed them nearby.

"What do you want?" Zeke glared at me.

"I need you to watch her," I stated quickly.

"She's drunk?" Lily asked.

"Oh, it's Zan," she laughed.

"Her drink was laced with something. I don't know what and I don't know how bad it will affect her, but can you stay with her and make sure she's okay real quick?"
