Life Unexpected

Chapter V

Sawyer stares at me with a lingering look and I immediately look away and sip my cup. Taylor, who is oblivious to the whole thing starts to tell Sawyer about some guy in her class that threw up everywhere or something, I didn't stay to hear. I walk away with my glass and take a sip. I knew I shouldn't have come. I'm such an idiot. Someone grabs my arm and I yelp. A black haired boy with breath that reeks of alcohol gets in my face. I try to pull my arm free.

"Where you going pretty girl?" he breaths hot breath in my face.

I try to shove the guy off me but hes way stronger then me. He looks me up and down and I gasp in horror. Sawyer shows up and pushes the guy off me. He grabs the guy and whispers in his ear and shoves him again. The guys eyes turn fearful and he nods to me, mumbles sorry and runs away. I thank him and start to walk away. He grabs me by the waist and turns me around.

"Look I'm sorry for the other night," he says, "I didn't mean to snap at you."

I stay silent not to be a bitch but because I'm surprised he apologized. I finally find words.

"It's fine," I slur. He raises his eyebrows at me.

"Are you drunk?" he asks.

I snap, "No!"

I stumble and almost fall but he catches me.

"Maybe a little tipsy," I say and he chuckles.

"I'll get you a glass of water," I nod and he walks away and I find a couch to sit on. My head starts to pound.

Sawyer doesn't return so I decide to get up and get my own glass of water. I walk to the kitchen while stumbling into almost everybody on the way. I finally reach the sink and rinse my cup and fill it with water. While sipping it I turn around and lean against the counter. I spot Taylor in another room with Ethan and Hunter. I see Sawyer join them. And he looks my way. He walks over and looks very angry. My god what does he want now.

"Where the hell did you go?" he yells.

"What are you my mom? God, you didn't return and I was tired of waiting." I reply.

He pinches the bridge of his nose.

"What!" I yell.

"You know what I'm fucking done," he says.

Something overcomes me which is probably the alcohol, "What are you done with, Sawyer, huh? You have no reason to act like this. You barely know me and then like your nice one minute and a dick the other. Don't treat me like a fucking kid!"

I push past him and walk towards Taylor. On my way I grab another cup filled with beer and take a sip. He doesn't follow me. Taylor is way drunk and I decide I'm probably not going home with her. Great, now I'm stuck at this shitty party. I mentally curse myself again. Taylor runs up and hugs me, knocking my cup out of my hand on the floor.
