Chapter Twenty-Two

In Trouble

" ... The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
ROLLING IN THE DEEP
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it, to the beat
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it ALLLL" I screamed at the top of my lungs the oh so lovely song by Adele and just as I was about to go into the second verse Colette jumped on my back causing my already unbalanced self to fall over unto the pavement

"Ow" I moaned pushing her of me "What was that for?"

"I'm really drunk" Colette slurred rolling over on her side as if that explained it

"So am I!" I cheered clapping my hands excitedly feeling the mixture of energy drinks and alcohol was really getting to my head

"Why are you guys on the floor?" Davie asked all of the boys only just realizing

Me and Colette shrugged

"Help me up!" I demanded

Anthony held out his hand and pulled me up as William attempted to do the same with Colette but she was really, really drunk so he had to half carry and drag her as we walked back to school

I was humming the tune of the song I was singing earlier thinking about how badass I am. Underage and in a nightclub I'm pretty awesome really.

"Hey Lala" Anthony said slinging his arm around my shoulder "Good Birthday?"

I grinned "The best"

No one talked as we walked the rest of the journey back to school. I was still buzzing but I was afraid if I kept talking I wouldn't be able to stop so I decided on singing loudly instead

We turned into the the small secret driveway and spotted the familiar gate. I had to do a double take when I thought I saw a figure in the archway of the gate but when I looked again it was gone ... I'm so drunk

"Do you think they've realized we had gone?" William asked glancing back at me and Anthony

Anthony shrugged "only one way to find out"

"Hey guys ..." Davie whispered

"Why are you whispering?" I asked loudly

Davie glared at me "Because look" We all looked to wear he was pointing down the driveway to the gate.

My eyes took a second to realize I hadn't been imagining the figure in the archway

"Oh my god" Colette whispered pulling away from Williams grip "Lailah do something!"

"Me?" I scoffed

Colette stumbled over to my side and pulled me out of Anthony's arms pulling on my hand "what are we going to do?"

No one answered just stood there standing frozen watching the figure intently

"Come on guys, whatever happens, happens" I said the drunkness probably clouding my common sense and apparently everyone else's because they agreed and kept walking

I knew who it was before we reached them but I wasn't ready to admit it to myself before I saw there face.

Everyone one gasped when they saw who it was (apart from Anthony who swore really loudly instead)
