intro
_______________
once upon a time i was a completely innocent daddy's girl who never wanted to break his heart. always got straight a's, avoided all drugs and alcohol, and did whatever i was told.
my parents got divorced when i was 13. ever since then things went downhill. my mom never seemed to care about me and always focused on work. she kicked my dad out of the house and he was forced to find a place to live. i hated my mom.
then the summer before high school comes along. my dad got in a horrible car crash and died instantly. i was never the same since.

"is that alcohol i smell on you?" my mother exclaims as i walk into the house.
"no mom." i roll my eyes and run up to my room.
it was. in high school i didnt talk much due to my dads death. i ended up making friends with the "bad kids" my mom would say. they really arent all that bad. we all go out to parties together and get wasted. its not like they get into any drugs or anything.
*ding*
my phone dings and i immediately grab it from my pocket. i sit on my bed and unlock my phone to see a message from my best friend, windsor.
windsor: audreyyyy party on friday u in?
audrey: definitely. pick me up?
windsor: of course ;) gn
i put my phone down and smile. im so glad to have her as a friend.

the next morning i walk into school and immediately spot windsor, jade and ivy all by windsors locker. while walking up to them i spot him down the hallway. ian parker. i remember seeing him the first day of high school 2 years ago. his curly brown hair and green eyes caught my attention real quick. ive always had a thing for brunettes. i flash him a quick wave which in return i receive a smile and i catch up to my friends at their locker.
"hey guys." i say.
"hey bitch." says jade.
"ian told me he will be at the party tomorrow." windsor says and smirks at me while slamming her locker shut.
"i totally think he has a thing for you." ivy says and gives me a nudge.
i smile but roll my eyes at them and follow them down the hall.
"yeah he asked me if you were going." windsor adds.
"i dont know guys. i think he still has a thing with ashley." i say.
last year when me and ian first became friends he was with this girl ashley. shes the bitchiest bitch in the school. she hates my guts and wouldnt let him out of the house unless she knew he wasnt going to be around me. he ended up dumping her because she was so controlling. yet at the first party of the year i saw them holding hands. my friends are convinced it was because of the alcohol but im still sure it was something more.
"every time i see them pass each other in the hallway they never acknowledge each other. that has to be a clear sign that theres nothing going on." ivy says.
she has a point.

later that day in lunch i sit down at ian's table.
"hey!" he says to me with a big smile.
"hey, i heard your going to the party tomorrow." i say.
"yeah, i can give you a ride if you want." he suggests.
i think about it for a second, i dont think windsor would mind. so i say yes. we talk some more about school and parties and stuff. time flies by and the bell rings signaling its time to go to the next period.
as im walking to my locker i text my mom telling her im sleeping over at windsor's on friday even though she didnt ask me to. ill find a place to stay if i cant but i dont want to spend my time with her on my ass about everything.
she later responds saying fine like usual and i continue about my day.

friday rolls around and im at my house getting ready for the party when my phone dings. i quickly run to my bed to see who it was.
ian: ill be there in an hour
audrey: okay see u then
i quickly freak out realizing i only have an hour to get ready and run back to my closet to find something to wear. i decide on a short black skirt with a dark blue crop top. i quickly straighten my hair even though its already almost straight. then i throw on some mascara and highlighter. and just as i put down my brush my phone dings again from my bed.
ian: here
audrey: okay ill be out in a sec
i quickly throw on some shoes and run out the door before my mom could say anything. i see him in his fancy red mustang and cant help myself but smile. i open the door and get in.
"you look great" he says as he starts driving off to the party.
"thanks."
when we arrive at the party i text windsor to ask where she is and she immediately responds saying shes by the alcohol.
me and ian walk to the door where i hear music blasting and high schoolers running all around this huge house.
"i need a drink." ian says.
"me too." i say and follow him to the kitchen where i find windsor taking shots. windsor immediately sees me and runs up to hug me. i can tell shes already drunk.
"can i get you two a drink!" she exclaims as she grabs 2 cups. without responding to her question she already hands us some concoction of some type of juice and alcohol. i dont even question what it is and swallow the whole thing down. windsor cheers me on and i throw the cup on the counter.
after a few more drinks i realize im a little tipsy and i need to go to the bathroom. ive somehow lost windsor but ian is still right beside me.
"i need to go to the bathroom. please stay right here okay?" i ask him.
"okay. dont fall in!" he says.
i laugh way too hard and run off to find the bathroom. as i walk up to the bathroom i hear a flush and some girl walks out all groggy. i give her a weird look and walk in the bathroom to find throw up all around the bathroom. gross.
after im done i open the door and try to find my way back but i get lost. i pass by a closed door and for some reason i have a feeling that i should open it. so that's exactly what i do.
i walk into a dimly lit room to find out that its a game room. it has a pool table and a huge tv and a couch. it also has a dart board and its own fridge. i walk in and in the back corner theres a boy sitting on a big sofa chair.
"hi." i say quietly trying not to scare him.
he quickly looks up and says "hey."
"what are you doing in here? why arent you out there? are you not having fun?" i ask.
"no i just needed a moment to myself." he says.
"oh ill leave then." i turn around to leave but he stops me before i reach the door.
"no no its fine." he gets up out of the chair and walks towards me. as he walks closer i see more of his facial features. dark brown wavy hair and brown eyes. a chiseled jaw and big strong arm muscles. tall and thin, yet muscular body. "i should probably introduce myself." he says as he extends out his arm filled with tattoo's.
i give him a good look up and down and take in all his good looks. suddenly the thoughts of ian are gone and all i can think about is this insanely attractive boy standing in front of me.
"im calum."
