And then I blacked out.

After the awkward dinner, I rushed upstairs to my room to pick out my party outfit. I have never really been to a "party" besides my friends' small birthday parties. I dump all my clothing items onto the floor to choose from. Jeans? No, the whole point of me going is to prove I'm not a prude. I decided on my denim highwaisted shorts that flatter my figure, a white crop top that comes up to my belly button, and I just threw on my plain black Converse. I decided to just throw on a little mascara and create subtle waves in my long hair.

"Come on prude! We're leaving now!" Charles yelled from down the hall and walked into my room. "I know your a girl and all but-" he stopped speaking as I walked out of my private bathroom. His eyes grew huge.

"What? Is there something wrong with my outfit? I didn't know what to wear to a party!" I exclaimed fastly, I was really uncomfortable at the way he stared at me.

"No! You-... nevermind, just hurry the hell up!" And with that finally statement, he stormed out of my room towards the stairs.

"Asshole.." I muttered under my breath. Grabbing my phone, I headed downstairs and out the front door.

"Bye Dad!" I yelled before running towards Charles' car parked in the driveway.

"You look amazing!" Niall whispered to me the second I got into the car. I made a light smile and turned away before he could see my bright red cheeks. I'm not use to getting compliments outside of my family.

"Shut up. " I could hear Charles' mumble to his brother riding shotgun. What is his problem? It only took about two minutes to arrive at the club where the party was being held. I could feel my palms start to get sweaty. Damn it, I curse to myself, I should have just stayed with Dad and Maura. Of course my big ego had to get in the way. We all got out of the car, Charles strode into the club without saying a word. Niall surprised me and grabbed my hand.

"Settle down. There is no need to be nervous. Just stay with me and you will have a great time." he whispered in my ear before entering the club. I sigh, and shoot him a confident smile, even though I'm anything but confident at the moment.

"Let's go!" I nod in agreement. As soon as we walked in, a crappy pop song playing filled my ears and caused my ear drum to start aching. My first party and in under than 30 seconds I hate it. Niall pulled my hand over to him and in front of him stood a girl our age with sandy blonde hair and brown eyes.

"HEY RHEA, THIS IS ELLIE!" Niall tried to scream over the music. Oh so this is his girlfriend! I masked my disappointment with a warm smile. She is very pretty, I see why their dating. I think I was really starting to like Niall.

"HI! LIKE NI SAID, I'M RHEA! HOW LONG HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN DATING?" They both burst out laughing. Great, a chance of a friend and I ruin it.

"NO! WE ARE JUST FRIENDS! COME ON, LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO SOME FRIENDS!" Ellie shouts and drags me over to a table full of people. She seems really cool and I hope I can befriend at least one of the girls. Thank God, the music is way quieter in the back!

"This is my bestfriend Lizzie! Lizzie, this is Ni's friend Rhea!" She said pointing to a girl with long dark hair that reminded me of Kristen Stewart.

"Nice to meet ya!" Lizzie yelled before talking a shot of an unfamiliar liquid. "That is Cole, Lila who is Lizzie's twin sister, Charles whom I'm sure you've already met, Craig, and Liam!" Ellie explained. I awkwardly waved at them.

"Let me get you a drink." Charles says getting out of his seat and leading me to the bar as if I had no choice.

"I don't drink." I stated firmly.

"Just try it you prude." He said narrowing his eyes at me. Before I knew it I had downed both of our shots.

"Am I a prude now?" I said with a taunting smile.

"I guess not!" He shouted with a pleased smile. It had been two minutes and I could feel the alcohol kicking in already. Wow, I really had to pee.

"Let's go dance!" I suggested and dragged him to the floor where the music was pounding at my ears but I didn't care. I let the music flow through me as I danced however I wanted. I really had to pee still.

"Charles I have to pee so bad! Where is the bathroom?"

"Follow me, I'll show you." He said nonchalantly grabbing my forearm and weaving us in and out of the drunk crowd. A stranger grabbed me and pulled me away and started grinding on me. I was so scared, the stranger could tell.

"Don't worry princess, I don't bite...unless you want me too." he snickered perversely into my ear. I need to go find Niall, I tried to leave but an arm pulled me towards them.

"Please let me go!" I begged, tears starting to drip down. I looked up to see I was in Charles arms.

"Shhh it's alright.." he comforted, "I'll be right back." I cleared my eyes in time to see him slam the drunken stranger into the wall. I ran up the stairs out of pure fear of both of them. I ran to the restroom and locked the stall behind me. Shit, I feel like I need to puke. Making me jump in fright, there was 3 light taps on the stall door.

"Rhea?" I recognized the voice as Charles.

"Yes."

"Unlock the door please, I won't hurt you." I don't know if I should, I don't trust him. I moved up from the corner and unlocked the door. He pulled me into his arms straight away.

"Don't you worry anymore he will never do that again. Let's go wait in the car for Niall, I texted him." I clung to his arm as he led me out of the club and to the car. I most likely look awful with smeAred mascara, a tear stained top, and red cheeks. When we reached the car we both climbed into the back seat. He leaned to grab something from under the front seat. Charles came up with a full Vodka bottle in his hand, taking a large gulp, he handed it to me carefully. I pushed it away politely.

"You will forget everything tomorrow, just drink this." I decided for it. This is most definitely a night I don't want to remember. Snatching the bottle, I took a long gulp before passing it to him and he did the same.

That is last thing I remember before blacking out.
