Rafe knocks the navy blue front door of some persons house. Honestly I don't really know whose party this is but whenever Rafe is with me I feel... okay. On the other side of the door I could heard the music blasting throughout the house. But finally I hear it bursting into my ears when someone finally opens the wall.
"Hey! Rafe and Y/N, y'all made it. Come inside. Come. Grab a drink!", we are lead inside the house which smells like sweaty people and cigarettes and more. Average Kook party in Kildare. We make our way through the crowd, Rafe leading me first while grabbing my waist.
The guy takes us to the kitchen where red Solo cups are trashed everywhere and liquor everywhere in sight. "Get something to drink! We're in the back!" The guy leaves and exits the party through the back sliding doors. And by "we're" he's probably referring to Rafe's friends.
"You gonna grab a drink, babe?", Rafe asks me while looking down at me. There's a couple in the kitchen with us. The girl on the counter and the guy standing up and them making out while having their hands on each other.
"Yes, please.", I grab the drink from his hand and take a sip. The string taste of whatever this is slides down into my stomach. "Are you gonna go with your friends soon, baby?"
Rafe comes closer to me with his drink and towers over me. His dark eyes look at me as he touches my cheek, which makes me even more hotter. "Yeah, you're fine with that right?", he twirls a strand of my hair around his finger.
"Yeah, of course. Just have fun and stay safe ok?"
"Of course, Y/N.", Rafe bends down and kisses my forehead, then my cheek, and lastly my lips with the taste of vodka lingering on his lips.
"Rafe, big guy, you're here bro!! Finally!", a buff looking guy slaps his back, ending our kiss. Rafe spins around looking at him. They dab each other up and talk a bit.
"Y/N, I'm going with the guys now, ok? You'll be fine while I'm back there, yeah?", Rafe says as he refills his drink some more.
I'm leaning my back on the counter, as far as i can be from the couple who still making out. "Of course, Rafe. I'll look for Kiara, she said she's gonna be here.", Rafe smiles and kisses me on the head again and leaves through the back door.
This house is dark but with colorful lights shining everywhere. Literally because it's blinding me as i searching through the crowds of sweaty teens looking for my friend. I survive through the party dancers to the stairs that lead up to the second floor. I see a second living room and go in there and see the exact person who I'm looking for. The sound of creaking in the floorboard gets her attention l, with her and a few others being the only ones upstairs.
"Y/N, finally! You're here, man. I was wondering when you'd show up!", Kiara stands up and hugs me while holding a can of beer. I greet and hug the others who I go to school with. But as I hug one of them Xander, who sits behind me in Algebra, he doesn't have the same... vibe. He seems a bit off with him being more quiet instead of loud and looks at me weird and awkward.
"What's going on guys?", I say while taking a seat on a bean bag next to a bean bag, across from Xander. He shoots me another concerning look.
"Xander was telling us about how some guy at school is doing a bet to date this girl and stuff. But he won't freaking tell us who.", Kiara says while looking at me.
"Bro Xander, just tell us. You know us. We wouldn't tell anyone, promise. Right guys?", I say as they agree.
"I can't really. It's not really my place.", Xander mutters while looking down at the floor.
"Xander, maybe it's someone we know and if we do we can let them know before they find out on their own.", a girl name Claire in my English class says.
"Uhhh I don't know.", Claire let's put a sigh and most of them including Kiara and I chant "Do it! Do it! Do it!"
"Fine! It's someone here.", he shrugs his shoulders and looks around and back down. The room goes quiet. But the silence is broken by some other girl that I don't know. "Xander, just say who."
"Fine!", he looks up... at me and stares at me. "It's Y/N." I feel my heart stop.
"What?"
"It's you, Y/N. I was with Rafe and them and they said that he can't keep a girl for a month with how "crazy" he is. So, he told them he can and betted $100 for every month this girl would date him for. And that girl is you, Y/N. I'm sorry. I should've told you before.", Xander is shaking his head.
It's been a lie? A dare? What I had with Rafe was a lie and not real? I was just a dare? I was part of a dare?
It feels like the world stopped spinning with everyone looking at me and no one talking. I sit there doing... nothing. Not moving or anything. Every kiss, touch, and "I love you" wasn't real. None of it was real. It feels like I've been stabbed so many times in my stomach.
"Y/N? Are you okay? Do you-", Kiara is knelt down in front of me.
"Yeah yeah. Don't worry.", I stand up with some tears falling down my eyes and grabbing my stuff. "I just, I think I should go home now."
Kiara jumps up and grabs my arm before I started walking. "You want me to come with?"
"I'm okay, Kie. I just need to be alone right now. And if Rafe asks just say I wasn't feeling well.", I hug Kie and said bye to the others, leaving with nothing but tears and a cracked heart.
