The Big Party

Rachel:

"Breakfast is done!" I say. "Here you go." I say handing Luke a plate. "Thanks for making breakfast. My mom rarely makes me breakfast like this. It's because she's busy... busy getting into arguments." Luke says. All I can do is nod. Ugh today is Saturday which means I have to go to the party. But I need to go. I need to have a life for once.

...

*3:00 pm*

"Luke, I'll see you at the party, but right now I need to go before my mom thinks I moved here. Can you take me home please?" I ask. "Sure." Luke says and grabs his keys. "Oh before you go home..." Luke begins to say. He goes upstairs to grab something I guess. He comes back downstairs with a shirt. "Here. I'm giving you this shirt just whenever you're sad." Luke says. He also pulls out a necklace with a heart on it. "Keep this." Luke says. "I- I don't know what to say Luke. Thanks." I say. Luke goes behind me and I lift up my hair so he can put on the necklace for me. "There. It looks so beautiful on you." Luke says. "Thank you Luke." I say and hug him. "Well let's go." Luke says.

...

I get home. "The party starts at 8 so I'll pick you up at 7:45, okay?" Luke says. "Okay." I say.

Once I get inside of my house, get in the shower and do my usual things that I do in the morning even though it's 3pm.

I go on my phone and I decide to play some games. Then I hear a knock on the door. "What the?" I begin to say walking towards my window to see who it is. I don't see anyone. "That's weird. I guess some kids are playing." I say to myself until I hear another knock. Then I look outside and I see Natalie. Why is she always trying to start drama with me?! I'm not with any of it!

I go downstairs and open the door. "What so you need?! If you want to start some drama, please take it to someone else because I have no tolerance for it!" I say. "Get your panties out if a twist. I'm offended that you actually think I'm here for drama." She says. "That's what you're the queen of." I say. "Oh shut up Mrs. Man Stealer. I'm here to tell you that you're in for a surprise." She says. "A surprise? What surprise?!" I ask. "It's a surprise. Bye bitchacho." She says leaving dramatically.

"Umm okay." I say to myself.

...

*7:38pm*

I check the time and I notice it's almost 7:45! I quickly go and put on a my bathing suit. I put on a halter top and some shorts over it. Once I'm don't I check the time. "7:43." I say. I hear my phone ring and I go and get it. "Hey Luke!"" I say. "Hey. I'm coming to pick you up right now." Luke says. "Okay." I respond and I hang up.

Once it's 7:48, Luke arrives at my door. "Hey. Ready to go?" Luke asks me. "Yea. Ready as can be." I say and proceed to get in the car.

"Are you excited?" Luke asks me. "Maybe." I say. "If you ever feel uncomfortable or if you want to go home, I'll be there." Luke smiles. "Thanks." I say. It gets completely silent in the car. Luke turns on the radio and puts a cd in. "Which cd is that?" I ask. "Imagine Dragons," Luke says. "Which is also your favorite band." He adds. "Yea." I say while "Amsterdam" comes on.

...

We arrive at the party. "Aww but Bleeding Out was just on." I playfully whine. "I know. But I guess Mike will play a little Imagine Dragons here right?" Luke says. "Yea he might even do that." I say getting out of the car.

Luke and I head inside. "Heyyyy you're actually here." Michael says to Luke. "Yea I'm here. What a surprise to the world." Luke says sarcastically. "Well I'm just gonna head to the pool." I begin to say. "Alright. I'll be there in a second." Luke says. "Okay." I say.

I go into the bathroom to take off my shirt and my shorts. "Okay. I guess I'm here. At a party. Ready to party I guess." I say to myself before exiting the bathroom.

I head to pool and I just sit in a corner to drain all of my thoughts. I sit here for a while and then I begin to feel two hands on my head drowning me underwater. I begin to scream underwater but I guess no one cares to see that someone is god damn drowning me.

Luke's POV:

"Can I leave now?" I ask Michael cutting him off his story. "Fine. Okay." He says. I turn around and I see Natalie drowning someone. "What the hell Natalie?!" I yell running towards her to stop her from killing someone. "What the actual fuck is wrong with you?!" I yell. "Nothing actually. I'm fine." She says. "You're crazy." I say and I walk towards the pool. I notice that it was Rachel she was drowning. I gasp at the sight of her eyes closed and her not moving a muscle. I get her out and start doing mouth to mouth. Yea Natalie is jealous but no one gives a single shit.

Finally I hear Rach coughing. She sits up and hugs me. "She was drowning me." She says. "I know. Luckily I saved you." I respond. "Thanks." She says. "Do you want to leave?" I ask her. "No. I'm not gonna let someone kill my mood or my night." She says. Rachel gets in the pool and I get in with her.

I wrap my arm around Rachel. "Are you okay?" I ask. "Yea. I'm just frightened because I saw a little light. Not the party lights." She says. "I'm glad you're okay, or I would've lost the key to my life." I say. She cuddles against me.

"Are you hungry?" I ask Rach minutes later. "Yea." She says. "Let's go get something to eat." I say. "Alright." Rachel says.

Natalie's POV:

God this bitch annoys me. She's obviously seeking for attention. That little attention whore. She's probably scared of me. "Ha!" I laugh to myself. That little dumbass doesn't know what "surprise" she's in for.

I head upstairs to get everything out of my mind. "You shouldn't have tried to drown her. That's just crazy! Why would you do that?! To such an innocent girl!" My thoughts begin to tell me. "Shut up! Leave me alone!" I scream back sounding crazy because I'm actually talking to my mind. Finally I leave the room because I feel like my mind is talking total shit.

I actually had a reason to drown that bitch. She's stealing Luke away from me.

Time for her "surprise"! I see Rachel standing by herself. That's good. "Hey Rachel, look I'm sorry I tried to drown you. I guess I've been drunk for awhile." I lie. "No hard feelings." She responds. "Follow me. I hope you didn't forget that "surprise" I was talking about." I say with an evil smile. "No." She says. "Good. Now stand here... and close your eyes."

Luke's POV:

I decide to sit on the couch and wait for Rachel to get a snack. I look over to my right and see her standing over buckets. I quickly get up and move her out of the way until I get whipped cream all over me. "Oops. That wasn't meant for you Luke." I hear Natalie say. "Do you want to go home?" Rachel asks me with a smile. "Let's go." I say.

I get open Rachel's door so she could get in and then I get in after. "You look good in whipped cream." Rachel says getting some whipped cream on her finger. "I wonder how you look with whipped cream." I say going over to Rachel's seat to hug her. "Aww really?" She whines. "Yea." I smirk. "Are you sure you want to leave? I was beginning to have fun a little." She says. "We could always stay." I say. "No. You're all covered in cream." She says. "I have extra things in my trunk. Don't worry about me. I'm just happy you're actually having fun." I say. "I'll wait for you in the pool." She says. "Okay. Just make sure nothing else happens to you." I say. I grab a shirt and some swim trunks. I practically live in my car.

I head over to Rachel. "Is all the whipped cream gone?" I ask her. "Yea." She giggles.
