17. Midsummers

I walked in with Sawyer through the big grand doors with all the ritch stuck up kooks staring at us as the Camerons followed. I turned behind me and caught a mam dressed in all black with sunglasses on, hiding round the corner looking at me but when he realised I saw him,  he then disappeared into the shadows.  I didn't think much of it at the time though."Sawyer can you come to the bathrooms with me and just wait outside for me.?" I was really anxious knowing Rafe was here so I didn't want to go anywhere alone. "Of course." He gave me a warm smile and I'm so happy he wasn't questioning it.

I went in and rushed over to the mirror examining my face. When Caroline slapped me earlier it left a nasty purple bruise on the side of my face near my eye but luckily my makeup covered most of it. Looking in the mirror I wasnt sure if you could still see it or it was just me imagining it because I knew where it was.

I freshened up and came out to see Sawyer. "So you want to stay with me the whole night or are you going to go find Sarah or something?" I couldn't tell wheather he was trying to get me to leave or not. "Wow Thanks for the hint Sawyer but I'll go if that's what you really want." I said jokingly with a chuckle and his face dropped. "I didn't mean It like that I just wanted to know where your going to be so I know your safe." He nudged me so I nudged him back.  "Over protective much." I laughed. "Nah I'm joking ill try find Sarah."

We walked outside and I looked around and I saw that weird man again but he quickly disappeared when he noticed me staring in his direction like last time. I turned my attention back to the party and started looking for Sarah but I couldn't see her anywhere." Maybe she is with her other friends."  I wondered around looking and Sawyer followed close behind me." Sawyer you know you don't have to follow me everywhere. I don't need a bodyguard." All of a sudden  wheezie popped up out of no where and jumped into my arms for a hug. "See I've got wheezie, ill be fine." I had never been so thankful to see wheezie. "Fine, be safe okay."  Sawyer wondered off over to his friends.

"Someone was excited to see me." Wheezie looked up at me with a smile. She was always like a little sister to me although sometimes she was really annoying and got on my nerves. "I really missed you Rena." She paused and looked at all the kooks dancing. "Let's go dance." She grabbed my hand and dragged me over there as I turned behind me to see the man for like the 3rd time tonight. It had started to get weird and I felt so on edge because it was like he was watching my every move. Who the hell is this man? Is he stalking me or something?

"Wheezie I'm not dancing." She started giggling at me. "Yes you are. I have seen you dance before and you're so good at it. Come on Rena pleaseee." She pleaded and gave me little puppy dog eyes and I just couldn't say no.

We danced hand in hand spinning around and laughing for about 5 songs but after all of that I needed a drink so I snuck up to the bar and stoll a glass of wine. "Can I have some?" Wheezie asked and my eyes widened." Nope absolutely not. Your parents and your sister would kill me if you got drunk." I lifted the wine up out of her reach incase she tried to grab it. "Ugh.your no fun."

"Ah Wheezie there you are. Where's Sarah? Can you go find her please?" With that Wheezie ran off and I awkwardly stood there infront of Ward hoping he didn't know about me getting arrested because of Rafe. "Lorrena your mother is looking for you." That all he said as he just walked off but thank god he said nothing more than that.

"Lorrena come! I have people you need to meet." Oh god this is the one thing I hated the most about midsummers. Caroline always made me walk around with her greeting everyone and introducing me to her friends. Normally I would just stand next to her quietly and wave or smile when the kooks would say hello to me or something but this time was different I got so many questions and it felt hours until I thought she was finished but unfortunately she wasn't, she was just took a second to find more people to tourcher me with. I was so tired of speaking to these kooks.
