"Hey Ella, nice landing." Ethan smirks.

"Sorry about that, this crowd is rather pushy." I chuckle, climbing off him.

"Can I get you a drink?" Ethan asks.

"Sure... I'll have a Coke." I reply.

"A Coke? Really? Nothing a little more out there than that?" Ethan mocks.

"Why, what do you suggest?" I ask him.

"A shot." Ethan answers.

"Nooo way, I'm a bad drunk." I state.

"Don't worry, I'll keep you under control." Ethan smirks. "Two shots!" Ethan orders.

"No Ethan-"

"You said this party was once a year, you can have fun once a year." Ethan chuckles, not wiping the smirk off his face. The bar attender slaps down the shot glasses and pours them for us. "Drink up."

I take the shot and neck it before instantly regretting it and feeling light headed. "Another?" Ethan questions.

"No way, that one tasted a little odd." I state, trying to judge the bar attender as my vision lags and makes me feel a bit distant, he winks at me which sends bad chills down my spine. Ethan runs his finger around the base of my glass, collecting the tiny bit of liquid left on his tip before tasting it.

"Your right that was a little strong, maybe he gave you a double." Ethan says.

"I have to get back to A... Abby." I stutter, I've never seen alcohol take affect this quickly, what did I just drink?

"Hey where you going hot stuff?" I hear the bar attender yell.

"Wha- what did you put in my drink?" I ask him, walking up to him.

"Just a little kick, looked like you needed it. Next time maybe you won't dump my younger cousin." He smirks.

"Your Tyler's cousin?" I question.

"You don't look so good maybe you should go lie down." He smirks.

"Your sick!" I spit at him.

"Don't be so dramatic, it's not gonna kill you." He laughs. I stumble away from him and to find Abby whose stood with Daisy.

"Abby!" I call out at the room gets dimmer and my legs grow slightly weaker. "Abby!"

"Oh hey Ella! You don't look so good, how much did you drink?" She asks.

"He spiked my drink." I say to her.

"What who?!" She exclaims.

"The bar attender, its Tyler's cousin. Remember when we were together, he told me he had a cousin who was getting out of jail for selling drugs and looking for little jobs." I explain.

"I'm going to go kick that guys ass!" Daisy shouts.

"No, no wait. I don't feel right, I don't know what it was or what's happening to me but my legs are getting all wobbly and I'm getting all hot and sweaty." I describe to her.

"Hey are you okay?" Grayson asks which sounds all echoey in my head and the room begins to spin, I feel like I'm a million miles away from them, it's the weirdest thing I've ever experienced in my life.

"Someone spiked her drink." Abby replies.

"Ella!" Grayson says loudly, waving his hand in front of my face but my reactions don't seem to register and one of my legs cave in and I stumble into him. "Let's get her some fresh air and take it from there." Grayson scoops me up in his arms as I clutch on to his t-shirt to hold on.

Abby, Daisy, Grayson and I all get outside and he sets me down on the floor. Abby pulls out a napkin and tries to fan me with it but it doesn't really work.
