Perks of always being home alone: I can invite anyone over at any time.

My mom and Beth went to my grandmas for the night. She's been sick for awhile now. My dad is off on a 'business trip'. I think he's really off screwing some girl but whatever.

I pour the last bag of chips in a bowl and set it on the table. I've decided to throw a little together. I only invited Connor, Will, Grace, and Allison. Grace and Allison are the only girls I really talk to and can stand. I guess you could say they're my best friends too. Connor knew Will before I moved here so they have always been close. This is going to be a fun night.

The door bell rings and I yell,"Come in!"

I hear footsteps then see Allison and Grace standing there. Grace is wearing a plaid skirt and a plain white tank top with high tops. Allison is jeans and a band tank top with purple converse.

"Hey girls!"

"Hey!" they both say.

"So what's the plan for the night," Allison says as she grabs a handful of chips.

"Just to hang out like we use to."

She nods as she eats her chips.

I hear the door open and footsteps. Connor and Will enter the room with two bags. Connor is wearing black jeans and a blue Kentucky shirt with blue converse. Will is wearing black skinny jeans and a white band shirt with grey vans.

"What's in the bags," I ask.

"Alcohol," Will says as he puts the bags in the fridge.

I just smile and start eating some chips.

Two bottles of liquor later, we're all pretty wasted.

"We should play 7 minutes in Heaven!" Grace yells.

"Oh my god. We should!" Allison agrees.

"Sure, why not." Says Connor.

We spin a bottle to see who will go in my closet with. Will lands on Grace. Connor lands on me. Allison is the timer this round. I walk into the closet with Connor. Allison shuts the door.

I awkwardly smile at him. He laughs.

"So, what do we do?" I ask.

"I can show you."

"Uhm, okay."

He grabs my face and kisses me. It's not a kiss full of lust like it is with Josh. It's a kiss full of passion and love. I pull away and he rest his forehead against mine.

"Katie."

"Yes, Connor?"

"I really like you. I think I might even be..."

I cut him off," Connor, you're just drunk."

He kisses me again then says," I love you, Katie."

"You can't."

"Why?"

"It's complicated. You know with the whole Josh thing."

"The Josh thing?"

"Yeah, you know where we sneak and make out. It's really complicated. I know he doesn't really like me."

He pushes me away and opens the closet door. He rushes out and slams the door. What did I do? What did I say? I sit down on the floor. Maybe he'll come back.

Connors Point Of View

They sneak around behind my back and make out! Josh knows that I like her! I'm going to make him pay for this. I get in my car and start driving.

I pull into his drive way and get out of my car. I run to the front door and start beating on the door. I wish I was beating his face. The door opens and he gives me a confused look.

"What are you doing here this late?"

I push him back and walk inside. He shuts the door and looks at me.

"Did you and mom get in a fight or something?"

"No. I know about you and Katie."

"What about us?"

"Don't act like you don't know! I know that you and her sneak around and make out and god knows what else!"

"What are you talking about?"

"She told me! She was drunk and told me!"

"What? Katie doesn't drink?"

That pisses me off even more. How does he know that? I run at him and shove him. I kept shoving him but he doesn't move so I punch him in the stomach. He grunts and leans over. I push him down and start hitting him.

I hear a scream and I'm being pulled off him. I look up and see a blonde headed girl. She looks scared.

Katie's Point Of View

I stand up and walk out of the closet. Allison is passed out on the floor and I hear moans coming from the other closet. I need to find Connor. I stumble down the stairs and out the door. I get in my car and start it. I pull out of the drive way and start driving.

I make it to Connors house but his car isn't in the drive way. I start driving again. I pull onto the highway. He might be at Josh's.

Everything is spinning and I keep swerving off the road. Where am I going again? Oh yeah, to find Connor. I see lights and I close my eye. It hurts them so bad. I hear a car horn then feel my car spin. What's going on? My head bangs my stirring wheel and I open my eyes. I start seeing black dots everywhere.
