The Road

5

My eyes opened just slits, and light hit them intensely. I groaned, and started to roll over when I slammed my face into a window. Wait? A window? I opened my eyes all the way, and took in my surroundings. I was in a car, my car, and snoring next to me was Kyle. He looked so peaceful, and his hair was tousled across his face. I loved how young he looked when he slept. I almost wanted to trace my fingers along all his features. But I knew better.

We were on the side of the road. I tried to think back to last night, but my head stung. The road was gravel, so we had to be still in the town, but where? I didn't recognize anything.

I glanced over at Kyle again and decided to wake him up. Maybe he remembered what happened. Then I noticed the cup holders. One had a red solo cup resting in it, and the other had a beer bottle.

"Kyle," I murmured poking him.

"Stop, pig," He mumbled.

I gasped and slapped him.

His eyes snapped open and he shot straight up. "What the hell Victoria!?"

"What happened last night?"

He started to chuckle.

"Answer me!"

"Nothing that I want to forget."

"Enlighten me, please."

"You don't remember?" He burst out laughing which worried me. What had happened? Did I drink? I had never touched a drink before in my life, and I wasn't planning on touching one until I was 21.

"Did I drink?" I questioned, trying to stay calm.

"Six... of those," He answered pointing to the empty beer bottle in the cup holder.

"Where did we go after the forest?"

As I mentioned the forest, his face whitened, but he tried to regain himself as quickly as possible. He twiddled his fingers for a couple seconds; maybe he didn't want to tell me. If he didn't want to tell me, it must've been bad.

"Well..." He finally said, "We went to my 'house', and the boys weren't there, so being my stupid self, I asked if we could go looking for them... We ended up finding them all drunk at a party near the edge of town, and one of the boys handed us drinks. You took a sip, and said it was lemonade. I didn't stop you, even though I knew it wasn't lemonade. Then once you got drunk we gave you beer, and I loaded up too. Not as much as you though. I saw you dancing, and laughing, and yelling. Then you came over to me, and I'm glad I had enough sense to stop you..."

He stopped. I looked at him, and waited for him to finish, but he didn't. My mind was swimming. Why did he let me drink? Why did I even say yes to looking for his boys? And what did I do to him?

"Finish!" I yelled.

"We started to dance, and let's just say it got a little too graphic... And let's just say you said some things you probably didn't mean..."

"Like what?"

"Like..." He paused and his brow furrowed as he tried to find the right thing to say. "Like I love you, and I can't live without you..."

"Yeah... I don't even really know you, so it was probably the alcohol... that you didn't stop me from drinking!"

He just shook his head, and sighed.

"You need to tell me, now!" I screamed.

"Tell you what actually?" He asked in a grumble.

"Why did you let me drink? Why do you kill people? And most importantly why were you freaked out in that forest?"

"I-I can't tell you."

"Then get out of my car, jerk."

And with that, he stepped out of my car. Even though I didn't know where I was, I drove away like I knew exactly where I was going. After about five minutes of driving though, I knew I was lost. To my left I saw a person strolling along the side of the road and decided to take a chance and ask the lady for directions. Pulling over slightly, I rolled down my window. The lady looked surprised at first, but slowly moved towards my window.

"Do you need something, dear?" She asked stooping down so that she could look at me.

"Yes, I need directions back to Birectly, please."

"You're a good thirty minutes away from there, but if you take a left up at Main Street here you should be able to find a highway that will guide you back," She smiled.

"Oh ok, thank you."

The lady nodded then backed away.

Where the hell was that party? Then out of no where a flashback hit me.

"So this is your home..." I whispered as we pulled up to Kyle's 'house'.

"Yes," He replied dully.

His 'house' was more like a one floor dance room. It was huge, and mirrors surrounded it. There was trash on the ground, and I saw only a couple doors. Since I was curious, I got out of the car, and walked in. I tried to avoid all the garbage and broken glass. Once I got to a closet type of door, I opened it. Kyle screamed no, but I already got buried under an avalanche of blankets and pillows.

I tried to push them off, but I was buried under what seemed like a neverending pile. I kept fighting the blankets though, and finally my hand broke through. Kyle's hand wrapped around mine, and he yanked me up. I could finally breathe again.

"That is our closet we store our sleep supplies in."

"Fascinating," I mumbled.

"Don't check the other door," He warned.

"Why? Is that where you keep the bodies?" I teased, laughing.

He stayed quiet. I glanced at him with a horrified expression. I started to take off towards that door, but he stopped me. I turned and looked at him. He had a huge grin on his face.

"You scared the crap out of me, jerk!" I yelled slapping his arm.

He just ignored me, and paced around. "Where are they? They're usually here by now."

"The boys, you mean?"

"Yes... We need to go looking for them," He said racing towards the door.

I trailed behind him, and got into the driver's seat.

Kyle told me to go down a street that didn't even have a sign; I didn't want to at first, but he convinced me that they might be down that rode. He was right. At the end of that unknown street was a house, and coming out of that house was blaring music. Kyle flew out of the car, and ran up to the house, disappearing inside. I was left speechless. I didn't know whether it was safe for me to go in there, so I just stayed outside. It was cold, and I hugged myself trying to summon some heat.
Kyle poked his head out from the door way, and was smiling from ear to ear. "Come on slow poke."
"I'm scared," I admitted.
His expression turned grim, and he shook his head. "I know, but they're all drunk, they won't even notice you, and there are other girls here."
Suddenly someone stumbled out, and offered me a drink.
Everything after that was dark.
