If only I was there

Chapter 28

"Stella? Are you okay?"

"Oh my god! I'm great!!" She sounded drunk. I was assuming she was at a party, celebrating her success being prom queen.

"Where are you?"

"Derrick's. He can't drive me home! I need you to drive me home!" Her voice was so whinny.

"I'm coming okay."

I grabbed my car keys and left. Ben followed me, carrying Ginger.

"Do you have to bring her?"

"She won't let me go."

"Fine." We got in the car and I went to Derrick's house. Thankfully he told me his adress when I worked at Starbucks months ago. We arrived at the neighborhood. There were a lot of cars and drunk bodies.

I told Ben to wait for me in the car while I searched for Stella. I squeezed myself and walked into the house of sweaty teenagers. I heard some people chatting "DRINK DRINK DRINK". I walked towards them and saw Stella drinking bottles of alcohol. She finished her last bottle and raised it into the air. She spotted me as I walked closer.

"MEGAN!! I FINISHED 20 BOTTLES OF BEER IN A ROW!!" And everyone in the room cheered for her.

"Stella, you're really drunk. We need to get you home."

"EVERYONE THIS IS MEGAN! MY DRIVER BUT SHE ALSO A PARTY POOPERRR!!" She yelled and people started to throw cups at me while booing. I grabbed Stella's arm and dragged her to the exit.

When we were outside, Stella immediately ran to the bushes and started to puke. I held her hair high as  possible while she was puking her guts out. She turned to me when she finished puking, letting her body fell into mind.

"Can you believe I won prom queen?!" She yelled beside my ear. I nodded and helped her to the car.

Stella jumped onto the car and started to fall asleep. I drove to her house and dropped her off. Ben helped me carry Stella to her room. Her parents were to tired to do it. My dress was dirty because of the party.

"Sorry." I muttered

"Why?"

"The dress is ruined."

"We can always wash it off." He smiled and I felt better. We went to my apartment and in the morning he went home.

School started and finals were around the corner. I started to study everyday and worked every night. I was incredibly tired and my skin was pale as ever. Lunch was basically my time to sleep.

I went to my usual table and started to doze off. My friends completely ignored me because I ignored every advice they gave.

Time went by so fast and finals ended. All of my friends passed with flying colours, especially Ben. All we had to worry was graduation.
