I locked my phone and went back to helping Zaray prepare for the party. I really wish I could be sleeping right now.

-

The party started about an hour ago and half the people here are already wasted. I'm all alone, sitting on the couch being squished by people I hardly know. Shawn is with his new girlfriend, Zaray is with her boyfriend, Nick is I don't know where. He randomly disappeared. Meanwhile, I'm here with people I don't even like.

"Let's play truth or dare!" Someone yelled.

What are you, twelve? 

I felt the spot next to me on the couch sink in. I turned around to see Nick.

"Where were you?" I asked him.

"Just with Jack." He casually replied.

The bottle on the table went spinning and I sighed in relief when it passed me. It landed on Nick.

"Nick, I dare you to make out with Ashley." This random guy said.

"You want me to make out with my ex??" He asked, completely caught off guard.

His ex. Oh.

"Nick, it's not a big deal, just do it." Jack said.

"I can't." He says.

"Why not?" Jack asks.

"Stop being a chicken and just make out with her. It's just a game man." The random dude says.

I feel like kicking him out. I mean, I basically can. It my best friends house, I can do whatever I want to do in a situation like this.

I could see Nick looking at me from the corner of my eye but I didn't look at him. I didn't want to. He could do whatever he wanted. I don't control him.

"Oh, I see what it is!" Jack says, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"It's Luna, isn't it?" He asks.

"Damn, it's like she controls you now."

I look at both, Nick and Jack. I'm so confused, what are they talking about?

"That's not true." Nick says, his face reddening.

"Oh, really? Prove it."

Nick pulls Ashley's lips onto his. Oh how much I wished that was me instead of her. I wanted to pull her off of him. A kiss turned into a heated make out session. I was ready to leave the room from how uncomfortable I felt. They finally pulled apart after Jack started coughing, indicating that it was enough.

"You see! She doesn't control what I do. I'm not wrapped around her finger! Luna is just a friend! Sometimes I don't even consider her as a friend. She can be an annoying bossy bitch. If it wasn't for the dare, I wouldn't be talking to her right now! She means nothing to me." Nick says, practically yelling.

Looks like he forgot I was even in the room because when he turned around and saw me, his expression fell along with all the color on his face.

"Luna, I-I" he stuttered, leaning closer to me. I smelt the alcohol in his mouth and felt disgusted.

"Fuck you, Nick. The only person you are playing is yourself!" I yelled, not being able to say anything else.

I actually thought I meant something to him. I actually thought I was playing him. Was he the one playing me the whole time? I told myself I wouldn't let this happen. I did all the rules, all of them but rule number 2. I got attached when I said I wouldn't. That was the most important part of it all, and I screwed it up.

I ran out of the room, to the kitchen and grabbed a few beers. I could hear Nick yelling my name, I just ignored him. I walked up the stairs to Zaray's room. She said I could go there if I wanted to get away from everyone.

As I walked into her room, I locked the door and sat on her bed. I didn't realize I was crying until I felt a tear drop fall onto my leg.

I began to cry. I never cry. Sobs left my mouth as I held myself. Is this how heartbreak feels? I didn't even cry this much when I found out my boyfriend cheated on me.

I took a sip out of my first beer. I hated the feeling alcohol gave me, but it's what I needed right now. One drink turned into 2, then 3, then 4, up to 5 drinks until I decided I had to get out of this place.

I ran downstairs and out of the door before anyone could see me. I entered my car, that was parked outside of the house. I needed to drive. Driving always made me feel free and calm. I needed to get my mind off of things. Plus, I didn't drink that much.

I didn't know where I was driving to. I just had to get away and be alone. I drove straight down the street, about 7 blocks. I was going to make my first turn until I got dizzy. My eyes were slowly closing, as I was forcing them open. Everything was a blur. I heard a car honk behind me and I drove faster. I didn't know which way to drive the car. The car went off the road and crashed into what was probably a tree. Everything went black after that, as I heard people yelling.

"Call an ambulance!" A woman screamed.

Wow that was a dramatic chapter, nice.
