Love and a Coma #Wattys2016

Past

"Bye mom!" I yell as I walk out the door with my big brother. He adds "We will be home by eleven," then closes the door.

We walk and get into his Subaru Forester. Tonight we're going to Jensen Leo's party, there's basically parties every week but I don't go because, well..I'm very allergic to being social.

     About 10 minutes later we pull up to Jensen's house. It is an average sized house, but with more 'razzle-dazzle". It has a pool in the back and is currently full of teens, some already drunk to no-end. I hop out of the car and walk in trying to be as lowkey as possible. I look around the open-concept first floor to see people making out, and drinks at the bar. I walk over and pour my self some lemonade and mix in some vodka, then make my way to the patio.

*****
"Fight! fight! fight! fight!" I hear the crowd chanting from the front of the house. I start to walk towards the chanting when I stumble over myself. I pick myself back up and manage to ask a guy, "heyyy what's going on out there?" My fingers flirtatiously crawl up his arm, before pointing towards the crowd. "Uhh, some dude, I think Derek? Well anyways he is fighting Cody for talking shit about a girl named Tori," He replies.

Wait that's me and well Derek, that's my brother.

"Oh my god, you have to help me out there," I giggle but its the drinks doing it, I've had 5 in the past hour already. The random dude walks me out there making sure I don't fall. When I see my brother I gasp, his nose is bleeding and his jaw is all bruised. We make eye contact, before he breaks it, to punch the Cody kid in the face. Well Cody is not winning.. Let's just say that after the punch he stayed on the ground. My brother ran over grabbing my arm and tugging me away towards the Subaru. To my surprise another pair of arms link around my waist, tugging me in the opposite direction. My head shoots back to see who it is. Cody. His eye is black and his lip is bleeding in unity with his nose. "You know, I told your brother you were ugly, but now that I see you upclose," he whispers before leaning in more and finishing his sentence," You're pretty damn hot."

     I tremble at this. I feel violated. I want to rip his arms off and yell at him. But I am interrupted with a hand flying past me and hitting Cody right in the jaw making a crack sound. I cringe, then take a deep breathe of relief when his hands fall off my waist. Then start to cry. I don't know why this is happening to me. I'm pulled into a hug by my brother and we start to walk. "Don't you ever come near my sister again, or I'll make sure you suffer even more," my brother yells back at Cody, who is now on the ground clenching his jaw.

I'm sobbing, now. We're in the car about five minutes from home and the music in car is hurting my ears. My head is thumping and I sure as hell know my hang-over is not going to be pretty. We come to a sharp corner with a stop sign, but don't stop, and turn too late. A car smashes into the side of ours. Glass shatters, painstakingly hitting my face, my sides, my arms. The vehicle spins. I am jolted up cracking my wrist and neck on the ceiling. I want to scream, nothing's coming out. I try to let out a scream again just to feel  my head hit the dash board when the car lands back upward, on its tires. Then, everything goes black.

Hey guys! I hope you liked my first chapter! This is a bit of an insight before the story switches to present time, which will be in the next chapter.

So how do you like the characters so far? Cody is a bit of a biscuit, huh?!
