"Ashley, you, you have to, you have to see this!" A drunken Rachel says, dragging across the house. Tonight was the night of Nate's party. Drunk or high people roamed the entire house, it was absolutely hectic.

"I'll hit you, I'm not scared." I hear someone say. A guy's voice, sober? Yeah, most likely.

"Swing at me bro, you won't! Youuuu wooooon't!" Another voice says. Rachel leads me through an arch way and I spot Ethan and Nate. Grayson looked cooked, he was sitting on a bean bag in the corner, trying to hide a zip lock bag.

"I will, watch me." Ethan says, pushing Nate. They both get right into each others faces.

"Bro, I can see the moon!" Grayson says, sitting in the corner.

"Leave, no one wants you here." Nate says. Ethan spits on his white button up shirt. Nate looks at Ethan like he was about to murder him. I take a step closer to them. Suddenly, Nate hits Ethan in the cheek, E pulls back, grabbing hold of it.

"World star!" Rachel yells. "Fight thotties!" I rush to Ethan's aid.

"Stop! Are you okay?" I ask,

"Get out Ethan, and don't expect anything from me again." Nate says, walking over to Grayson. Gray puts his head back.

"Come on Grayson, we're leaving." Ethan says as I pull Grayson up. Grayson starts giggling like a school girl. I grab the zip lock bag behind him.

"Mmm bye my Natey Pooh!" Grayson says, putting his arm over my shoulder, and the other over Ethan's.

"Delete my number Ethan." Nate calls as we walk away. Rachel stays behind with him.

Ethan and I lead Grayson out of the party. We pass almost everyone from school. Music blasts behind us. I message Liam,

A: Can you come get me, e and Grayson? Ily.
L: E, Gray and I ***
L: and ok, I'm coming.
A: Ok, we will be outside of Nates.

"Thanks Jack, sorry about Grayson. I'll text you tomorrow." I say, unlocking the front door.

"Bye!" Grayson says. Liam drives away.

Ethan keeps up Grayson from falling over. Looking at Grayson, I can't tell if he is drunk or high. I push the door open and get Grayson through the door. No one was home, so I don't have to worry about the boys making any noise. Ethan and I help Grayson up the stairs into Ryan's room. We get him onto the bed. Ethan leaves and goes back down stairs.

"Ashley?" Grayson says. I take off his shirt and throw it into the hallway.

"Yeah, what's up?" I say, grabbing a hoodie from Ryan's drawer, it didn't fit him, so I put it on Grayson. "Arms up." He does so.

"I missed you, like, a lot." Grayson says, grabbing my hands and pulling me closer. He gives me a hug, I wrap my arms around him and hug him back.

"If you need me, you know where my room is. Sleep well Gray." I say, letting go of his hand. I leave the room and shut the door behind me.
