Remember Me

... One passed out on the stairs with added lipstick and whipped cream.

A hand slapped against my ass and I whirled around, shoving the beer in my hand at the guys face. He looked shocked for a second, then laughed.

"You're a feisty one aren't you?!" He exclaimed. I glared at him.

"I have a boyfriend you know." I told him.

"What Chase? He'll never know!" He waved this aside. I looked at him in disgust.

"Come on just one little kiss, maybe more." The guy snaked an arm around my waist and pulled my close against him. I struggled and pushed him away but he just attacked my lips with his.

He stank of alcohol and cigarette smoke which made me gag. I struggled harder but he just chuckled and started sucking on my neck. He slid an hand down my back and squeezed my ass. I cried out as he bit me.

Suddenly he was thrown off of me by someone.

"Leave her alone." A deep voice growled. The guy that had attacked me ran off to some other girl.

"Are you okay?" A voice asked

"Yeah, I'm fine." I muttered, rubbing my mouth with the back of my hand furiously.

I looked up to see a tall boy with short brown hair and kind blue eyes, a concerned expression on his face. He was truly gorgeous but wasn't anything on chase.

"Your dancing's incredible." He complimented me. I blushed a little.

"Thanks. I'm Maria." I replied.

"Hunter Lawson" He replied.

"Did I know you before?" I asked him.

"No I don't think so." He decided. "I mean I'd heard of you, Maria Carleton, life and soul of a party, bad girl extreme, but no I never met you."

"Bad girl extreme?" I inquired uneasily.

"Yeah, you got arrested a lot." He informed me. I bit my lip.

"Well that's something Isaac elected not to tell me." I mumbled.

"So how come you've never met me before?" I asked.

"Oh I never came to these parties." He told me. "I just wanted to see if the rumors were true about you and your amnesia."

"Oh, right." I felt a little bit sad at that. I was simply a source of gossip, an interesting story. Lets all go and see if Maria's a head banger.

"Sorry that was a little rude." Hunter had noticed my sad expression. "I didn't mean it like that." I nodded but then a song that stirred my memory somewhere came blasting it the speakers.

"It's going down, I'm yelling timber, you better move, you better dance." I winked at hunter.

"Watch this." I told him. I ran into the middle of the dance floor and began to dance again. The crowd formed a circle around me and cheered me on. I began singing along with words I didn't know I knew.

After a while I felt two hands on my waist and someone dancing alongside me. Whoever they were they were very good. I continued dancing with this random stranger until the end of the song I turned and saw hunter.

"You are one hell of a dancer." He told me. I grinned.

"So are you." I commented.

The rest of the party was a haze which I couldn't remember, dancing, drinking, talking, games until about three or four in the morning when I finally stumbled up to my room. Or tried too. I took a wrong turn and ended up in Isaac's room.

Oh well, my exhausted body thought, and I passed out on his bed.
