The music was blaring, the house was shaking and everybody was partying. That's how it was, except a little more extreme. Everybody was either screaming at the top of their lungs or mentioning to skyler what a great time everyone was having. I walked into the living room to see out of the corner of my eye, someone was turning on the tv. The news was on, and today's big story was a car crash. A very nasty car crash. But then I thought I recognized the car that at one time had not been covered in blazing flames.
"Wait a second..." I stared at the car for a minute longer trying to remember where I had seen it before.

"don't you dare say it Kat. Because it's not okay. And when I said for everybody to get out that meant everybody."
"Skyler I..."

"o--okay." I said sadly and disappointed in myself. I looked at the floor beneath her one last time to see shattered glass and spilt drinks. I walked out with my head down low, i felt so bad for skyler and I had only made things worse between us when she needed someone most. Good job Kat... Good job...
