I woke up feeling dizzy again. I looked around me, thinking, where am I? Then I remembered-someone spiked my drink. I started to get up but I was pulled back by someone behind me. I turned around and Moises was half sleeping, half awake next to me.

"Moises!" He groaned and rubbed his eyes.

"What?" He yawned and said, "Go back to sleep, it's too early to get up" I sighed, frustrated. I need to get some water and some coffee would be good too.

"Moises do you want a coffee?"

"Mmm"

"I'll take that as a yes." I got up and walked barefoot out of the room. The hallway had so many doors, I didn't know which one was the hallway. I closed my eyes and tried to remember where I was lead last night. Suddenly I get a whiff of alchohol smell, so I follow it into the large room which was where the main party was held last night.

I make my way through all of the rubbish that is scattered everywhere, to the kitchen. I yawn and rub my head as I wait for the kettle to boil. Grabbing two mugs from the cupboard I put two spoons of coffee into each. I poured the hot water in and stirred them. I added a tiny bit of milk into mine, and picked them up to make my way back to where Moises was.

He had fallen asleep again. Typical boys. I put the mug on his bedside cabinet and made my way round to my side of the bed. I sat down and sipped it. It was so nice, my head cleared quite a lot within 5 minutes. Moises eventually stirred and sat up, drinking his.

Aww he looked so cute!

Stop it Brooke! You're with Teo! Don't think these things about his brother! I mentally slapped myself.

"What's up babe?" Moises asked sleepily.

"Nothing, and don't call me babe." I snapped.

"Alright, calm down."

I was so annoyed wth him. Why was he trying on purpose to get me to like him and not Teo? The worst thing was, I think it was working a little. Who was I kidding? It was working a lot. I was starting to see him in a different way. But I didn't want to break up with Teo, I loved him.

****************************************************************************************************

"Where do you think he went?" Moises sounded annoyed. We were arguing about where Teo could be.

"I don't know, you're his brother!"

"And you're his girlfriend!"

I groaned.

"We're never going to find him like this! Let's both go seperately around, then we'll cover the most amount of space." I was walking out of the door when he grabs my arm gently.

"No, we'll go together, this place is huge. I don't want to lose you too." I sighed and nodded. We made our way into the hallway. I looked around.

"Which one goes to the back garden?" I asked. It was his cousin's house so I assumed he would know where to go.

"Last door on the left." He said, and we walked in that direction.

I opened the door and a cool breeze hit me. I look around, squinting. There is a large lawn with a path running through the middle, which leads to a huge infinity pool. But there was no one in sight. Just loads of rubbish - I felt sorry for whoever had to clear it up.

"He's not here. Where next?" I ask Moises.

"I don't know, you're his-"

"Ok, don't get into that again" I said, cutting him off. I sighed. How was I ever meant to find my boyfriend with Moises hanging around and not helping at all? I headed back inside. It was stuffy in the hallway compared to the back garden.

We searched upstairs, but still couldn't find Teo. I flopped onto the sofa in the lounge and cried into a pillow. Stupid, I know, but I felt like there was nothing else to do.

I felt two strong arms scoop me up into a warm hug. I kept weeping, not thinking of anything else.

"What the hell dude?" I couldn't believe my ears, it was Teo, it was really Teo! I ran up to him and gave him a warm hug, but he pushed me away. I looked at him, confused, while I wiped away my tears.

"Teo? What's wrong?"

"Brooke don't even act like you don't know. I just caught you in the act, so there you go, have her" he said to Moises, pushing me over at him. I looked up at him, more tears dripping down my cheeks.

"Teo! It's not like you think! He was helping me look for you, honest! We didn't do anything!" I begged and begged but Teo wouldn't listen. He grabbed his keys and stormed out.

"Now look what you've done!" I shouted at Moises. "You did that on purpose didn't you!"

"Woah, chill down Brooke. But now you're available-"

"NO. I HATE YOU!" I screamed and ran out, crying. I grabbed my jacket and ran out the front door. I hated the world. Everything was against me, I was just not meant to be happy. I get flashbacks of how it ended with Robbie, the guy before Teo.

*******************************************************************************************************

"You're a stupid slut!!" The smell of alchohol filled the air with every word.

"I didn't do anything, he was just helping me do my coursework!" Tears streamed down my red cheeks.

"You slept with him, I can smell him on you! We're through. You're nothing but a whore!" I felt a sharp pain as he slapped me across the face. He was my world. How could he think I would sleep with another guy?

"Please, I'm begging you Robbie! Give me a chance. I love you."

"Don't lie! If you loved me you would do everything I asked, like a normal girl! But no! You had to go and disobey me, I told you that you were not allowed to speak to any other guys without me being there! You only ever think about yourself!! You didn't listen, and you couldn't resist him, could you! Get out!" 

The pavement was cold and wet with rain. I knew this the moment my face hit it. I was glad for the rain though; it covered up my tears.

*******************************************************************************************************

I had no idea how long had passed, or where I was, or how far away I was from Moises. I just wanted Teo back. I wanted to feel his arms around me, feel his hand linked in mine. I pinched myself. Robbie was right. I only ever thought about me. I needed to wake up.

I could hear a noise. Someone was coming. My only way out of here, of the place I shouldn't be. I should go now. I've been here too long, this is not my destiny. I realise I am on the floor and use all of my energy to stand up. My head is reeling and I can hear the blood pounding through my veins. I take a deep breath and wait for the right moment. Then I take a large step forward. Into the unknown. Into my future. Into blackness.
