'You will face many defeats in life, but never let yourself be defeated.'

Alcohol.

That is what keeps the smile on my face most of the time these days. Hunter and I have gone through the evening jumping from party to party for our graduation. I told my dad I was spending the night at Hunter's house and we told Hunter's mom that we were staying at my house so that means I have no curfew.

I was hesitant at first because if I went I would have had to leave my brother and sister with my dad but Kai and Hunter convinced me they would be okay for a night.

"Do you have to go?" Nathan holds onto my hand not wanting to let go.

"Nate, I'm only going to be gone for the night. I'll be back by morning." I pull my arm away but he still keeps a tight hold. What will it take for you to let me go, buddy?"

"Just stay here. I hate being here with Dad. All he does is tell me how I should be doing better at football and throws all my mistakes in my face." My brother vents to me.

"Okay, what about this? Tomorrow you and I will spend the whole day together and we will even go out for dinner."

"Can I come?!" Violet jumps up and down. Mid-air hunter puts his arms until her armpits throw her in the air laughing.

"Yes, Violet you can come." She nods still laughing while Hunter continues tossing her in the air. I look back at Nathan who still had his focus on me. "So what do you say?"

"Fine." He gives in.

"Okay. Now both of you shower, brush your teeth, and don't go to bed late."

"Can I watch Dancing with the Stars tonight? It starts at eight but it's not a school night, can I?" Violet is slowly lowered down to the floor Hunter looks out of breath.

"Yes but after it's over you go to bed." She agrees walking to Nathan and me grabbing onto his arm.

"You guys have a party to go to." Violet shoo's us away out of the door and to the car.

That brings us to right now. Hunter and I are driving away from one party to another. The next party we go to is going to be the last for tonight.

"Okay, what party is next?" My vision was beginning to get a little foggy from the drinks I'd had tonight.

"Next is Niall's party. He didn't shut up about if I didn't at least make an appearance I would be his friend anymore." Hunter nods, driving to our destination.
