It was 11:30pm and she still hadn't shown up. Aria was off dancing with every girl possible and Lambrina, and Lissa were nowhere to be seen. Probably gossiping outside.

By now I was way too drunk to even stand up. I threw myself to the floor and crawled outside because if I tried to walk, I would end up on the floor anyway. As I made it onto the patio I noticed my two best friends, and they noticed me. "Oh Cleo!" Lambrina exclaimed
"Look what you've done to yourself!" Lissa pointed out. They're just like tweedledee and tweedledum. They walked over to me and picked me up, and sat me down at one of the tables, their loving touch made me just burst into tears. They were trying to sweettalk me into telling them what's up but I couldn't tell them what was wrong. They dont know that I'm with Ember.

Ember.

The girl who stood me up even though she swore she would be here.

The girl who I am risking everything for.

The girl who I love.

The girl who just walked in.

I mutter some lame excuse about being fine and I was just worried about Aria and waved frantically to catch her attention as i tried my best to walk over to her. She gave me a terrible look of guilt and hatred. What have I done?

She walked over to me and scooped me up in her arms, taking me away from everyone and the chaos, leaving Lambrina and Lissa speechless with their jaws hanging. Whoops.

She took me to sit in the small field in the back of Arias house. She set me down on the grass and sat down next to me, then looked me in the eyes and shaking her head.
"I can't believe you" she muttered. What? "Inviting me to a party full of high school children when we're supposed to be low key!?" She was practically screaming now. I could feel the tears pricking in my eyes, she's usually the most warm and loving person I've ever met. This isn't her.
"I'm sorry Em" I sobbed uncontrollably. "We never get to see each other and I just wanted to spend time with you, but maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all"
"Maybe it wasn't"
"I'm sorry!" I mutter again and kiss her. She pulls away instantly.
"Look Cleopatra if this is going to work nobody can know. That means no PDA, no calls around others, not even a text. Not until your 18th"
"That's 7 months away!" I start sobbing harder. I can't do that. "Maybe if that's what you think we shouldn't see each other at all!"
She gasps. I said it.
"I can get into trouble!!!" She exclaims.
"IM 17 AND WERE ONLY DATING ITS NOT LIKE YOURE SEXUALLY EXPLOITING ME!" I scream. A little too loudly. Everyone probably heard, oops.
"Keep your voice down" she hisses
"No!" I reply "I would give everything up for you! Absolutely everything!" I'm in complete full blown tears now. "You just care about your reputation! I love you yet you probably don't love me!" I get up and run, suddenly sobering up a lot.
"Cleo!" She screams after me. I just keep running.

I run towards the house, I mean to run past it but I crash straight into the conservatory doors, shattering one of them. Aria won't be happy about that. I get up and put my hand to my head, there's a lot of blood but I don't care. I can see Lissa, Lambrina and Aria in the house staring at me, dazed and Ember behind me. I run around the house and I make it onto the street, but I continue running for about 10 minutes, completely knackering myself.

I stop. I think about what I said. I regret it already. I want to run back to the house and take it all back and say I love her and I never want to leave her. I turn on my heel and gasp.

In the darkness.

There's a face.

And then everything goes black...
