Once

Chapter 3

Walk the moon – Shut up and Dance with me  

"Emily, wake up, we have arrived," someone whispered.

"Where are we?" I asked.

It looks like I said it to myself, because no one even heard me, nor answered on my question. My head ached badly: I felt sick, as though I've been riding on a roller coaster for an hour or more. No, that's enough! This party was my first and the last one. I can't believe, how could I even agree to go to that party? Tomorrow we will have a serious conversation with Jess. Slowly, I started to remember what I was doing at the party and these memories made me even sicker than before.

"Someone, wake her up," a man's voice said.

"Maybe we should leave her here? She'll have a good nap on the porch," this voice is also familiar to me.

"No, we can't..." Jess answered. I will always recognize her voice.

"She sneaked through the window to the party, and she can't return back through the main entrance. Her parents aren't asleep yet," Jess continued to speak.

I was lying comfortably on the back seat of the car. As I slightly shivered, I lied down even more comfortably. It's probably cold outside already, but I have only a thin dress on. No, it's better if I lie down here in warmth a little more. I started dozing again.

"Make up your minds already, my legs are getting hurt," someone said.

"What does he mean?" I thought to myself. I thought that I was peacefully sleeping on the back seat. What is going on here?

"Emily, wake up..." I heard a voice beside me.

I opened my eyes abruptly and saw that I was lying on Matt, Ted and Harry's knees. I was lying on their knees and the guys were holding me, so that I wouldn't fall.

"Leave me alone! How dare you touch me! You took advantage of me while I was sleeping!?" I started yelling, but from the other side it looked ridiculous, because I was still drunk.

My indignation knew no bounds. No one dares to touch me, especially when I am unconscious!

"By the way, I have a boyfriend!" I couldn't calm down and tried to open the door.

I should get out of the car and go home. What do they allow themselves? I looked miserable, gibbered and was making useless attempts to open the door.

"Oh, our excellent student has finally woken up," Ted said to me.

Finally, I somehow managed to open the door of a black car. I saw Jess and Brian outside, they were discussing something. It seems that my friend decided to hook up with this guy and completely forgot about me. Suddenly I felt that someone is pulling me out of the car. It was Chris. Strange, but I remember their names.

"That's it! We did our mission," Matt said.

I started muttering something to myself, hoping that someone will hear me. Silence. I repeated my sentence again, but this time I tried to pronounce each word properly.

"Wait, she's trying to tell us something..." Harry said, and everyone looked at me.

Finally, I have already a few minutes persisted in repeating one sentence several times. What, is it so hard to understand what I am saying? Well, it seems so.
