Vicki was swaying in a drunk manner by herself in the corner, laughing as her long ginger curls bounced and hit her back lightly. Audrey watched from the couch with an amused smirk, grimacing when the girl stumbled slightly.

"A little birdie told me" a female voice whispered in her ear "That someone was smooching-"

"Shhh" Audrey turned around, covering Brooke's mouth quickly "That's not what happened. And I don't want Jake to hear otherwise"

"Then what did happen, hmm?" Brooke walked around and sat next to the girl, grinning at how sheepish Audrey looked.

"Nothing"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive" Audrey rolled her eyes.

"But you wanted something to happen, right?"

She didn't respond, taking a quick drink from her bottle and avoiding eye contact.

"Oh my god!" Brooke gushed "You guys would be so cute-"

"Shhh!" Audrey hushed her once again, watching Vicki skip towards them "Not a word"

"I think...I'm like, just a lil-a little bit drunk" she slurred, shaking her head to try and clear some of the fuzzy feeling "I'm gonna go home, tell Emma I said I love you"

"Okay honey" Brooke smiled "Make sure you drink lot's of water"

"Okayyyyy" Vicki then stumbled towards the door in search of Noah.

"She's such a cute drunk"

"Hmmm" Audrey shrugged.

"Come on!" Brooke nudged her friend gently, laughing "Admit it! You like her"

"I, uh..." Audrey sighed "I have to go"

"What? No!"

"Goodnight" She gave her friend a side hug before jumping up from the couch. Waving a quick goodbye to Jake and Kieran she headed out towards her car. After jumping in the driver's seat she clipped her phone into a small special holder, getting up directions so she could head home. Just as she was pulling down her seat belt her phone started to ring.

An unknown number. Hesitating for only a second, she answered the call

"Hello?"

"How was the party?"

"You too can menace girls for just 99 cents with this nifty voice modulator app" She dramatically shook her head from side to side.

"You're funny"

"Yeah, no, I'm really just bored" She reached forward to hang up.

"Don't hang up on me. Or your girlfriend will be getting a little visit"

The girl froze.
