~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maddy and I woke up at 7:45 pm, deciding we would start getting ready for the party. I wanted to take a shower because I felt kind of gross once I woke up. We decided that while I showered, Maddy would go downstairs and make something to eat for us before we left for the party.
I stepped into the bathroom and locked the door, I decided I would play some music too while I showered. I stripped of my clothes and looked at my still prominent bruises in the mirror. I didn't think much of them anymore and stepped into the shower.
Once I was done in the shower I quickly changed into my clothes for the party (link at beginning of the chapter). I went downstairs to see that Maddy was making a pizza in the oven.
"Hey Mads, I can watch the pizza and you can go get changed if you want," I said realizing it was already 8:00 pm.
"Hey girl, thanks," she replied back and walked to the stairs to go upstairs.
I sat at the counter, waiting for the pizza to get done. Once the oven went off signaling the pizza was done, I quickly took it out and began slicing it. Maddy came down the stairs in her outfit for the party.
"Yes bitch! Pizza!" Maddy yelled, causing me to laugh at her. We each took three pieces of pizza and ate in silence.
Once we were done, we threw our paper plates in the garbage and raced upstairs to do our make up and hair. Holy shit I thought to myself, it was already 8:15 pm! Maddy and I got our make up done at 8:30 pm and began our hair. Maddy just simply curled her hair and I put my hair up into a messy bun.
We decided it was time to go and we left Maddy's house at 8:55 pm. On the way to the party Maddy and I just sang at the top of our lungs, with the windows down, to the songs that came on the radio.
Once we pulled to the place we were having the party at, I noticed that it was actually two, four story buildings connected by a bridge going across on probably the third floor. As I looked at both the buildings that contained the party, I began to get butterflies in my stomach.
"You ready?" Maddy asked as she turned the car off.
"As ready as I'll ever be," I replied backed nervously.
"It's okay, it's going to go fine, okay? Let's go," Maddy said. We got out of the car and walked into the right building of the two. As we walked in all you could really smell was the stench of alcohol. Someone walked by with a tray of shots and Maddy grabbed two, she handed one to me and kept one for herself. She counted down from three to one on her fingers, considering we could barely hear each other in here because of the loud music. We downed the shots and damn did it burn my throat. Maddy just yelled and we began to laugh.
Maddy and I went to a slightly quieter place so we could hear each other she also grabbed two cups of beer for us. Then these two guys walk up to us holding drinks in their hands.
"Hey ladies, I'm James and this is Lucas," a boy with glasses, James, pointed to a boy with his ears pierced,Lucas. (Picture of Lucas at beginning of chapter, a picture of James will be in the next chapter.)
"Hi I'm Maddy and this is my friend Thalia," Maddy replied perkily. Maddy and James went into conversation as I zoned out while staring at Lucas. He was the most attractive guy I've ever seen. We were both starring right at each other, then he crossed his eyes and we both started laughing.
"What are you two love birds laughing at?" Maddy questioned. I began to blush when she said love birds. I looked over at Lucas and even he was blushing too.
"Oh nothing, um, we just saw some girl trip, because she must be really drunk," I quickly replied, slightly embarrassed.
"Oh yeah, she just totally wiped out," Lucas said backing up my story. Oh my god, his voice was so sexy.
"Well, Maddy and I are gonna go over by the snack table together, see you guys later," James said. I gave Maddy a wink as they walked away holding hands so they wouldn't lose each other. (A/N: cuuutee)
Lucas and I kept talking for about five minutes, in that amount of time I managed to have two more drinks. I wasn't completely drunk, yet I wasn't completely somber either.
"Hey I'm gonna go outside for some fresh air," I told Lucas.
"Okay, are you sure you want to go by yourself? Your not exactly very stable," he said.
"I'm good, but thanks for the offer," I told him.
"Okay, see you later bye," he said.
"Okay, bye," I replied back. I began walking away and trying to find an exit. Then realizing that Maddy and I had somehow made it up to the third floor earlier. I remembered there was a bridge on this floor connecting the two buildings, so I made my way to the bridge. Along the way I had grabbed another drink and downed it.
Once I made it outside no one else was there, I just stood on the bridge looking up into the sky. I began to think about what this summer holds, which was many beatings. Why do I have to go through this, why me? I questioned. I could end it all right now, right here. I began to step onto the bridge to stand on the edge. This is it.
"I'm sorry, Mommy, I don't mean to fail you, I just can't do it anymore," I said crying.
Then I stepped off....
~~Lucas's POV~~
I walked around looking for Thalia. I really liked her, I wanted to get to know her more. I thought of where she would have gone to get fresh air, then I remembered probably the bridge. I began making my way to the bridge.
I saw Thalia standing on the edge of the bridge and I heard her whisper the words I can't do this anymore. I realized what she was doing and ran over to her, just as she stepped off.
