      I woke up laying on the floor of Shay's bedroom. The empty vodka bottle still clenched in my fist. The afternoon sunlight streamed in through the window. I rolled over. My head was pounding. Shay was still asleep. I nudged her with my foot. She moaned as a response. Nudging her a second time woke her up. The second her eyes flickered open, her hand went up the sheild them from the blinding sun.

      "Shay this is awful." I moaned in agony.

     "You are the one who wanted the drink last night." She mumbled as she sat up slowly. Her makeup was smuged underneath her eyes and her shirt was twisted. I heaved myself up and wobbled a bit. Grabbing onto the wall to steady myself.

      "Can I borrow some clothes?" I said raspily as I began digging through her drawers. I grabbed shorts and a tank.

     "Ill shower in my parents room." She said as she grabbed clothes from her closet. I nodded to her and stumbled into her bathroom. Looking at my reflection I cringed at my appearence. My unruly Blondel hair pokes out in all directions. My makeup is smudged like Shays.

     I pull off my clothes from the day before and step into the hot shower. The water stung the cuts on my palms and knees from my fall the day before. I rinsed them out without crying out on pain. Shampooing my hair and conditioning it, I finished and turn off the water. Shimmy drying my body on a towel, I slip on the borrowed clothes from Shay. Brushingbout my hair quickly, I emerge from the bathroom to see Shay laying on her bed after her shower.

     "I haven't had a hangover like this in a while." She said while rubbing her eyes. She pushed herself off her bed and walked into her bathroom with me following close behind.

     "Try the senior party at the beginning of the summer Shay!" I chuckle. She just rolls her eyes and pulls out her case of makeup. Unzipping the box, we both go to town on our faces. Attempting to cover the bags underneath our eyes and our pale complection after barely any sleep.

     "I got accepted to Harvard Raegan." Shay says suddenly and putting down her lip gloss tube. I stop layering mascara onto my eyelashes and look at her.

     "Shay I am so proud of you!" I squeel and grab her into a hug. I am so happy for her.

     "Well I guess this is a good tome to tell you I got into Princeton!" I smile. This time she grabs me into a bear hug. I am so excited for college. But I have my worries. What if my room mate catches me having of my anxiety attacks. Would they think I'm an absolute freak? amy worried thoughts are interuppted when we hear the doorbells ring.

     "Ill get it." Shay says smiling and waking out of the rroom. I hear her bare feet pan down the carpeted hall and hurry down the stairs. I apply the last of my mascara and walk back into Shay's room. Slipping my feet into my Tom's, I grab my purse and go out into the hall. I am about to walk down the stairs when something tells me to stop and listen.

     "No Raegan is not here." I hear Shay's voice ring sternly through the hall. Who is at the door.

     "That's her car Shay. She is here." Luke.

     "No. Now I think you should go." She is being very firm.

     "Not until I see her! Rae!" Luke was comign up the stairs now. I ran down to the other end of the hall and into Shay's parents room. Pushing open the doors to the balcony, I go out and shut the door behind me. I sit and huddle in the corner praying he wouldn't find me. My breathing was short and speratic. I couldn't control the gasps. I hear him come into their room.

     "Rae?" He calls again, "Rae!" He yells. Then The sliding glass door opens. He found me. Seconds later he is crouching in front of me.

     "Rae please talk to me." He whispers. I shake my head and look away from his pleading gaze. He slips his finger under my chin and turns my face to look at him. His perfect lips and hair and face. Everything about him makes me want to kiss him.

     "I'm so sorry for giving you up so easy Rae." He whispers when my eyes finally meet his. I sham my head and look away.

     "Please Rae. I love you."" He says. My heart jolts and I look back at him.

     "Do you really?" I say back. He nods and a smile spreads across his lips. One tugs at mine too. I wrap my arms around him and pull him to myself for a hug. He picks me up from the floor of the deck bridal style and looks me in the eyes. Leaning forward he presses his soft lips to mine. And for one moment, my world is perfect.
