Chapter Twenty Four:-

Payton's Point Of View:-

After getting ice cream with Mason, we went back home and everyone turned to us.

"Why are you so late?" Brooke asked. "You're the birthday girl and you weren't even here."

"Oh, where's Mason?" Danny asked.

"He's..." I didn't know what to say.

I didn't want to talk about it now.

"He couldn't make it, he has a few problems." Alex said.

"Yeah, problems." I smiled.

Everyone stared at me and Alex, like they didn't believe us.

"What?" I looked at them. "Are you gonna start the music or what?"

Brooke played some songs and we all started dancing.

I walked to the kitchen and found drinks on the table. Alcohol. Ohmygod, how did that get in here?

I wanted to drink, but I knew Adam and my mom would kill me. But, a few cups wouldn't hurt, right? I poured some of it in a cup and drank it. It burned my throat, but I liked the feeling.

I danced while drinking more, the cup turned into five, and the five turned into eight. I knew I drank a lot, but I couldn't help myself.

"Hey, enough!" Someone pulled the cup from me and pulled me away from the kitchen.

"Noo, I want more!" I hit the person's back.

I looked at his face and it was Alex.

"Alex, leave me alone! I'm a grown up!" I yelled.

"No, you're going to bed."

"I'm 18!" I complained.

He still carried me and took me upstairs, to my room. He threw me on my bed and covered me with the blanket. I just started laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" He asked.

"You." I continued laughing.

"What did I do?"

"I don't know."

He smiled and sat down next to me.

I was slowly drifting to sleep, and I heard him say,

"I wish you really loved the real me as much as you loved the fake me. I really love you."

And everything went black.
