Ugh!

The walls pound with such a bass drop Im afraid they will burst any second. But they don't, and Cassina holds it in. I walk around to where Jax is DJing and give him a song suggestion. He nods and grins, then stops the bass song, making people look over, but then the song I wanted plays and everyone cheers. 

Its Kesha. For some reason, I think that Kesha is just the perfect artist to play at a party. 

Tick Tok comes on and I grin.

"Thanks!" I call over the song to Jax and walk through the people towards the dance floor. I move my feet to the beat and start to move my body. 

"How did I know that you picked this song?" A voice asks me. I look up at find Kyle grinning down at me. I shrug and booty bump him, feeling the rush of the alcohol I drank a few seconds ago. 

"I don't know!" I laugh and pull Kyle, towards me, wanting him to dance.

"Eh, I don't dance."

"Yes you do." I say and move around, crazy. So crazy Im sure it will attract attention, but it doesn't. 

"No. I cant. I suck." 

Suddenly, West pops up.

"I knew you were gay." He slurs and punches Kyle on the shoulder. Kyle jumps forward, like the punch actually hurt. 

"No, West, Im not gay." Kyle says. I step in front of Kyle and put a finger to West's mouth. 

"Shhh, it's true. I know he likes girls."

"How?" They both ask. I pfft out air and roll my eyes.

"I have ears." I say, and point to my left ear. Kyles mortified face doesn't go unnoticed by West, and West's bursts out laughing. 

"Duuuuude! She hears your groans and moans!" West laughs. I can tell by the way West is moving that he is drunk. Not to mention the way he is talking. Like some frat dude, going back into college after years and years past. So an old guy trying to be cool, I guess.

"Ugh." Kyle groans and walks away with West trailing behind him laughing.

I laugh too, but walk the other way to the kitchen to get some water. I am a little bit tipsy, not going to lie. I pour the water into the cup and turn around when I feel someone hug me.

"Mare! Always a pleasure!" I see John grinning at me and I smile.

"Hey."

"So what are you up to?" He asks. I shrug and shove my water in his face.

"Im thirsty."

"Oh. Yeah. I like you Mare." 

Suddenly all the alcohol within me subsides and leaves me standing there in front of John while he grins like a lunatic.

"What?" Completely sober, I look at him shocked. John likes me?

"I like you Mare. I have since I saw you at the beach that one day." Then he's leaning toward me. Quickly, I dodge him and scan the room. I find Beth and look at John's drunken body still leaning in with his eyes closed. Without thinking I grab her arm and pull her from the boys living room and into the kitchen, right in front of John. I push her head toward Johns, then they are kissing. 

I leave them to it and walk around before finally finding the guest room and crashing down on the bed. But, I hear a groan of pain and a scream or mortification. I immediately get up and stare down at the moving covers. Ummm.

I see a head peeks through, then a second later, another. 

Riley and Dallas.

"What are you doing?" Riley hisses. I look around and pause.
