Lowen

"I'm not staying long, Henry, and I mean it." I signed to him, a stern expression on my face. He put his hands up in surrender. "Chill, Ro, you can even stay an hour if you want." He answered with a grin.

I climbed out of his car and looked up at the house that's swarming with teenagers. "Let's go." I followed after Henry as we walked up to the front door, teenagers passed us with red solo cups in their hands, no doubt with alcohol in it.

Two guys smoking weed on the porch, high off their damn asses when I looked at them closely.

I was never the party type of person, Taylor would once in a while convince me to come to parties with her, but I haven't been a party since three years ago.

"Let's go to the kitchen for a drink!" Henry shouted loudly over the music, I gave him a nod and followed behind him, the house was a sweaty mess, the air around me feels hot and stuffy from all the teenagers dancing and smoking in here.

"Beer or Vodka?" Henry asked me once we were in the kitchen and I pointed to the Vodka. "Vodka it is." He winked and made our drinks on the kitchen counter that's filled with different types of alcoholic beverages.

I looked around where everyone was dancing and then I saw Eleanor on Jacob's lap, making out.

Ew.

I averted my gaze from them and sigh. "Lowen right?" I felt someone touching my shoulder from behind and when I turn around I make eye contact with a small petite girl, striking green eyes and jet black hair.

I nodded at her and she smirked. "I haven't seen you here before or for the matter at any of the parties I went to, so why now?" She asked and I shrugged.

"I'm Megan." She held her hand out for me to shake and I shook it and immediately took my hand back, I don't like physical touch very much.

Or at all.

"I'll see you around cutie." She
winked at me and disappeared behind the kitchen door and I frown.

What the hell was that all about?

I shrugged it off and went back to where Henry was only to find him flirting with a blonde girl. I rolled my eyes and tapped his shoulder.

He turned around and grin at me. "Here's your drink Ro, enjoy, I'll catch you later." He winked and disappeared into the crowd with the blondie.

Great now I'm alone.

So I might have said I'm not drinking much tonight, but I'm completely wasted.

Tomorrow's hangover is going to be a bitch.

I stumbled through the crowd to find Henry, all I want to do is go home. When he saw my state he immediately ditched the girl and wrapped his arm around my waist.

"Fuck, Ro, you're completely wasted." I heard him muttered under his breath, cursing a few words under his breath.

"Your dad is going to kill me if he saw you in this state." He said, his eyes filled with worry. I waved him off with my hand and made my way out of the house back to his car.

"Henry, I'll take her home." I heard Eleanor say to my best friend. "Honestly Eleanor get lost, I don't trust you to look after her." He said bitterly and I almost snorted out a laugh at his serious expression on his face.

"Henry, I'm serious, I'm sober, I'm heading home now anyways." She grabbed my arms and led me towards her car that's parked on the opposite direction of Henry's car.

"It's fine, Ry, go home." I signed to him and he let out a frustrated groan. "Fine, but I'll kill you if something happens to her." He pointed at Eleanor sternly and she rolled her eyes.

"Let's go, Lowen." I followed her to her car and climbed into the passenger seat, closing my eyes.

I feel like shit after consuming so much alcohol. I'm never drinking again.

"Dad's not going to be happy when he see you like this." I heard Eleanor say to me.

"I don't care, I had a little bit of fun." I signed to her and she sigh.

"Let's hope he sees it that way too." She mutters before starting the car and drove off.

I hope so too.
