MACIES POV

"Fuck you Danny." I laugh and splash him playfully after resurfacing from him dunking me.

"Oh hey! Sam and Garret are coming over." Teala waves at my brother and his girlfriend as they approach us in the pool. Wait...

"Garret, what happened to your eye?" I step away from Danny and over to examine the dark bruise under Garrets right eye.

"Uh, I got in a fight with Drew. It wasn't really that big of a deal, don't worry."

"It wasn't a big deal? Then why does your eye look like a plum?" He takes a deep breath before responding.

"Drew was talking shit about how you guys 'hooked up' and..."

"And what...?" I push my wet hair behind my ear and urge him to continue.

"He was gonna put something in your drink later."

"What?"

"He's gone now. Mac kicked him out."

"Oh, okay..." I nod and put on my best fake smile. "Well, let's not let this ruin the night. C'mon, let's go have fun!" Everyone seems surprised by my quick recovery from the news I just heard.

"Someone bounced back quickly." Garret teases.

"It's our last high school party. I wanna have fun, not sulk 'cause of some asshole."

"Okaay." Garret drags out the word. Truth is, I'm actually really bothered by what I was just told. Not only has Drew continually tried to fuck up my relationship, but now he's messing with my brother and that's something I just won't stand for. I'm glad Mac kicked him out because otherwise I have no idea what I would've done, or what could've happened. I mean, I know Drew was a desperate kiss up, but I never expected him to sink to a level so low that he would try to date rape me.

"Mace, you coming?" Danny asks me, leading towards the stairs to get out of the pool. I must've gotten lost in my own thoughts for a few seconds.

"Oh, ya!" I run towards him and take his hand. I head over to my bag and grab my towel to dry off with, then toss on the white lace cover up I brought. Danny puts on a shirt and comes over to me again.

"Wanna go inside?" He speaks as he grabs my arms and puts them around his neck, then wraps his own around my torso.

"Sure." I smile. He leans down to peck my lips, then pulls away.

"You can tell me whatever you were going to earlier."

"Okay." I nod. Danny's leans down and kisses me again before Garret shouts at us.

"Are you fuckers coming inside or not?"

"We're coming." I laugh and grab Danny's hand. I don't know if I should be nervous to tell him about Alex. I mean, it's not like I'm breaking up with him or anything, it's just about sharing an apartment. I know Danny trusts me and I'm hoping that he'll be okay with me and Alex living together.

We enter the house to see people scattered all over the living room. There's a group sitting on the couch, countless others standing and talking and a table on which there's a game of beer pong occurring.

"Want a drink?" Danny asks.

"Um, actually... Can we talk."

"Ya, sure." He stops and looks at me.

"I mean in private."

"Oh, okay." He glances around for a second. "Hey Mac, is there a room we can use for a minute?"
