The Next Day

Madison's POV

"C'mon Elena, it'll be fun!" Audrey says, bouncing up and down on my bed. "I don't know guys. I haven't gone to a party in months." Elena said, sitting next to Audrey. "C'mon, pleaaaase." Audrey and I gave our best puppy dog eyes. "Okay, okay! I'll go." Elena laughed. Eleanor, Raelynn and Charlotte walked into my room, shutting the door behind them. 

"Okay, so our brother's won't let us go to the party, but we're sneaking out." Elli said. "Yeah, so are we going sexy or casual?" Lottie asks. "Sexy for sure. Wear the sexiest outfit you have." I said, walking over to my closet. I started going through my outfits, pulling a few out to show the girls.

"Okay, which one?" I ask, laying some options out on my bed.

"Ooh, second one, for sure." Elena grinned. The others agreed. "Okay, we have to start getting ready around 8:00 because the party starts at 10:00. So we'll all meet at the corner down the street from Lottie's house." I said and they all agreed. 

~~~Later That Night~~~

Raelynn's POV

"We're going to bed guys." Lottie said, standing up from the couch. I followed her to her room and she shut the door behind us, locking it. I looked at my watch and saw that it was 7:30. "Okay we have a few minutes to get ready." I said and Lottie nodded. 

Eleanor's POV

"I'm gonna go do some homework." I said, standing up from the couch. Steve looked at me weird but didn't say anything. I walked into my room and shut the door behind me. I saw that it was 7:30 so I pretended to do homework, knowing that Steve was leaving soon to meet up with Sodapop. 

There was a knock on my door and Steve walked in. "Hey, I'm heading out now to meet Soda for the drag race. I'll be back around midnight." he said, I nodded and he left my room, closing the door behind him. I waited a few minutes before going to see if he had left yet. His car was gone so I ran to my room and started getting ready.

I got dressed and did my hair and makeup, looking at my alarm clock to see that it was time to meet the girls. I ran out of the house and started walking down to the meeting point. I got their and Elena, Audrey and Madi were there waiting. Not long after, Raelynn and Lottie walked up.

"We all look hot!" Madi said excitedly. We started walking down the street to the girl's house that was throwing the party. "Who's throwing the party anyways?" Lottie asked. "That girl from the high school, her name's Melissa I think." Madi said. We walked into the house that was playing loud music and we all smiled. 

"C'mon let's go get some drinks." Audrey said, we all headed to get drinks and have fun. 

Dally's POV ~~~Later That Night~~~

I muted the volume on the tv and Johnny looked at me weird. "What're you doin' Dal?" he asked. "Don't you think it's weird that neither of the girls have come out in the last three hours?" I asked, raising a brow. Johnny looked towards the hall and scrunched my brows together. 

Johnny and I got up and walked to Lottie's bedroom door. I went to open it, but it was locked. I knocked on the door but there was no answer. "Hang on, I have a key." I said, reaching above the door and feeling around for a minute. I pulled a key down and unlocked the door. 

The girls were gone and the window was open. "They went to the party." Johnny said looking at me. We walked out to my car and I drove to Steve's house. Steve was just getting out of his car as we pulled up. We got out and walked over to him.
