Euphonious Memories {H.S}

16.

There's not a drink that I think could sink her.

As I walked timidly behind Raine and Harry, I looked around at the huge party. There were at least 500 people there. How did all of these people get invited? And why didn't I? I mean I had 2 classes with Roxy. She was not the type of person that I would be known to hang out with.

Roxy was one of those girls who had a different guy every week. She was never in a relationship. All she would do is sleep around.

I had spoken to her a few times, but most of the time it was a simple "hi" or "Could you hand me my pencil I dropped?"

I guess it was understandable why I wasn't invited. Raine was invited because she went to high school with Roxy. Surprisingly Roxy was on the dance team in high school.

I was pretty sure that the only reason that Harry was invited was because Roxy wanted to get into his pants.

We walked into the big room where everyone was dancing to upbeat music. As I was walking,I tripped on my heel.

Before I hit the ground I felt a hand catch my arm, preventing me from hitting my head on the floor.

I looked up and saw a guy with short brown hair holding my elbow.

"Careful there, blue eyes." He said chuckling. "Hi I'm Ethan."

"Skyler" I simply said smiling. I noticed Harry glaring at me from the corner of his eyes, but I ignored him.

I stood up and Ethan let go of my arm. When I looked up to glare back at Harry, he was gone.

"Well bye." I said to Ethan and walked away.

I looked all around trying to find where Raine had gone, but there were so many people crowding the room that my short self couldn't see.

"Drink?" Someone from behind me asked. I turned around, and saw a girl in an bartender outfit with a tray in her hand.

There were shot glasses on the tray and she was standing there waiting for me to answer her.

"Oh...I'm sorry no I don't drink." I said giving her a small smile as she walked away. I continued looking for Raine. I walked all around the gigantic fancy house, trying to find her.

I turned around a corner to see if she was in the kitchen, but as soon as I saw it I wished I had stayed in the other room.

The kitchen was crowded with people, but the only person I was paying attention to was Harry. But he wasn't alone. His lips were attached to someone else's.

I stood on my tip toes to see who it was. I finally got high enough to see that the girl he was kissing was...ROXY?!

It felt like there was a monster growing in the pit of my stomach. My heart started to beat faster and a my breathing got faster.

I had no idea why I was reacting the way that I was. I turned back around the corner and tried to continue my search for Raine.

I couldn't concentrate. All I could think about was the sight of Harry and Roxy kissing. The bitter image played through my mind like a horror movie.

I turned around and saw the girl with the tray of shot glasses. Without thinking, I walked up to her.

"You know what? I'll take one." I said not having a clue why I said that or what I was about to do.

I took the small glass in my hand and raised it up to my lips. I had never drank alcohol of any sort before and I couldn't believe that I was about to ruin that pure part of my life. But all I could see was Harry's lips on hers.

I raised the shot glass to my lips and poured the alcohol in my mouth. The liquid burned as it flowed down my throat.

It tasted awful. I swallowed the terrible drink and slammed the glass on the tray. I blinked my eyes trying to make my vision clear. I got another glass and drank it. I kept doing this for a while until I heard a familiar voice calling my name.

"Townes! What the hell are you doing?" I turned around and saw two Raines coming at me with a worried expression.

"Oh...heyyy....Rayyy" I slurred.

"Did you drink all seven of those?!" She asked pointing to something behind me. "Have you even ever drank alcohol before?"

"I haveeeee...now" I squeaked.

"Damn" She hissed through her teeth. She turned around and got somebody from behind her. "Harry I need your help."

As soon as she said his name I remembered the vision of him kissing Roxy. At the sight, I reached over for another shot glass.

"Oh no you don't." Said a raspy British person who stopped my hand before I could grad another shot. "Come on let's go." He said picking me up bridal style.

He carried me out of the big house and laid me down in the car.

When we got to the apartment he carried me and laid me down on the couch.

"Weeee" I said as he lightly tossed me onto the fluffy white cushions. He smirked at me. And I giggled.

"I'm gonna go shower and go to bed, you can handle this." Raine said to Harry. I saw him give her a look as if he needed help.

"Why in the world would you get drunk? You? Out of the three of us I thought it would be Raine who would get drunk not you."

"Shhhhh....I can't say it's a secret." I slurred.

"What's a secret?" He asked with wrinkled eyebrows.

"Well duuuuh. The secret that I can't tell you."

"You can tell me I won't tell anybody." He said.

"No. I can't tell youuu. Because it's a secret.... isssss about you." He leaned over me to prop a pillow behind my head and we made eye contact. "You're eyesss...are sooo preeetty."

"Are you going to tell me your secret now?" He asked laughing at my comment.

"No sir ree won't tell ya whyyy I'm sooo drunken right now."

"Oh so the secret is the reason you're drunk?" He asked

"Yep." I nodded. He stood up and walked to the kitchen. He came back with a water bottle in his hands.

"Here drink this."

"Yes sir." He laughed at this

"I like drunk Townes she's a lot more fun than the regular one." He said watching me trying to open the bottle of water.

"Is shheeee funner than...roxxieeey?"

"What?"

"You kissed Roxyyy so I decided to drink that shhiit." After I said this I covered my mouth like a little kid does after they tell a secret.

"Wait...What?" He asked

"Oopsie." I said and closed my eyes falling into a much needed sleep.
