eden was laughing at something someone had said, which wasn't even funny.

it's been a half hour and eden had already felt drunk.

it was hitting her hard because she both has never had one sip of alcohol before and because of the amount of vodka she had been ingesting.

she stumbled around until she fell into someone.

she turned around and saw that it was jace.

she gasped at the sight of him.

"hey, babe. where have you been?" he asked.

she had no idea what to say. her lips parted.

"baby?"

she turned around and began walking toward the door.

"babe, where are you going?" he called to her over the music as he followed her.

when she got outside, she bumped into taylor.

"hey, girl. you good?" she asked.

eden shook her head. "i-."

"oh, look! it's jace! hey, jace." taylor smiled and spun eden around.

"uh, hey taylor." he replied, then looked to eden. "you don't look so good, eden."

he then looked down at the cup in her hand.

"have you been drinking?" he furrowed his eyebrows.

"i—."

"she has actually!" taylor exclaimed. "and she has something important to tell you. don't you, eden?"

"what's going on?" conrad asked as he walked over, jeremiah accompanying him.

"eden's about to tell jace something really important." taylor replied.

conrad and jeremiah looked at each other.

"it—i don't h-have anything t-to tel-tell you, jay. exc-except that i love you." eden stuttered.

taylor shook her head. "i don't think that's it, eden. i think you should tell him what you did upstairs."

jace looked from eden to taylor then back to his girlfriend.

"what—what happened upstairs."

tears started to run down eden's face.

"i'm so sorry, jace. it just happened." eden shook her head, which made her even more dizzy.

"eden, what're you talking about? i want a straight answer."

her head was buzzing. she put a hand to her forehead and took a deep breath.

"you know what? i'll tell him for you, girl!" taylor said. "she kissed steven."

jace closed his eyes and hook his head.

conrad glared at taylor and jeremiah's mouth hung open.

"i'm sorry, jace. it just happened. he—i—we—."

eden then leaned forward, throwing up all over jace's shoes.

when she was done, she looked up at him and gasped.

"are you kidding me!" jace exclaimed. "ugh. my new fucking shoes."

"i'm really sorry—."

"save it. you can have steven. you really are just the slut that everyone thinks of you as."

jeremiah went to lunge at jace, but conrad pushed him back and went face to face with jace.

"i think it's time for you to get the hell out of here." conrad said.
