Part 4

The next couple of weeks have been like a dream honestly I'm finally 16 what meant a bit more freedom from Leah but right now is the arsenal woman's annual party everybody in dresses but extremely drunk "pull down your dress Alex" lauryn suttly said sitting down next to me but I ignored her "my dress is fine" I whispered with the smell of vodka containing the air between us but she placed her hand on my thigh lightly tugging the dress down "your drunk you know that right" lauryn smiled as I nodded my head "hate parties.."  I told her laughed a bit "same just so many people..." "yeah." I agreed as I haven't told lauryn what happened at the last one I went to I mean she hasn't seen my arms or nothing so it's been all good or my thighs and she hasn't been told nothing from Leah or Katie but I am scared it is the one thing that might scare her off you know tonight's been the first night I have worn my arms openly out and it's been so far so good well so I thought "hey lauryn Katie's looking for you" Caitlin came over and sat in lauryn spot as she left "I'm done with talking about me all off tonight I came to check on you" "check on me?" I questioned "Leah's just slipped up drunk about a few things to me.. she didn't mean to but I thought I would give you a heads up as it was me Beth Katie and Kyra there" "what did she say"  I asked "your drunk Alex.. this isn't the time" "just tell me" "about the foster parents about your arms about.. that party" "what the fuck" I whispered about to get up but caitlin grabbed my arm pulling me back down "I am taking you home" "Caitlin no" "Alex as a adult who cares about you I am now let's go as we both know you don't wanna be here and neither do I" she helped me up and I couldn't walk properly  so she held my arm as we got to her car where she took me home "where are your keys" she asked me and I searched my pockets but kept loosing my balance eventually finding them "your fucked mate" she found the hilarious "keys" she reminded me but I can't find them "Caitlin go home or wherever I'm fine here" "over my dead body am I leaving you outside in the cold drunk with men walking around not after what happened last time" "well I don't wanna see Leah when she comes she had no right telling you lot about that" "maybe she didn't but you can't be mad at her forever" "oh yeah wanna bet" "Alex, besides that who has a spare key" she asked me and after alot of bribing with conversation lauryn showed up with the key "thanks lauryn" Caitlin told her "no bother"  she laughed opening the door  and soon Caitlin left leaving me and lauryn "how was the rest of the party" I asked her "fun, couldn't wait to get out of there honestly was missing you" "yeah?" She kissed me before hugging me "you need to go to bed cmon" she held my hand leading me to my room helping me get changed as I'm seeing double "right now I'll see you in the morning"  "wait... don't go yet " I asked her and she seemed kind of happy about it "fuck me man this whole room is spinning" I said as she lay beside me "perks of being pissed" she told me "no wayyyy" "shut up" she lightly hit me "wow
