As Grayson's car pulls up across the street from Alex's house, I let out a deep breath. Looking up at it makes me uneasy. The lights are dim and there is no music blasting from inside.

"Jeremy's car is here." Grayson mutters as he looks out the window.

"It's nine thirty, we're a little late." I sigh as I glance back at him.

"Let's just get this over with." He says as he gets out of the car. The air is still and quiet as we walk up toward the front door.

Grayson does the honors of ringing the doorbell since my fingers don't jump to it. The door immediately swings open and Alex is standing in front of us, a red solo cup is gripped around his hand.

"There you guys are, I thought you wouldn't make it." He moves to the side so we can step in.

"Sorry we're a little late." I explain as I walk into the house.

"Rach!" Nicole calls out, getting up from her spot on the couch. She wraps her arms around me as she pulls me into a tight hug.

"Hey." I smile as I hug onto her.

"So happy you're here!" She slurs on her words as she grips onto me.

"Me too." I say as I look down at her drunken state.

"Come on." She takes my hand and wobbles into the kitchen. I didn't expect her to be this wasted for a simple scary movie night.

My heart stops beating when I see Ethan and Jeremy sitting down in the living room. Crystal is sitting next to them and to my surprise Kelsey and Zachary are also in this house.

"What are they doing here?" I ask Nicole, not even bothering to be quiet.

"My best friend dragged me here." Kelsey stands up from the couch, also slurring on her words. "I just wanted to get drunk."

Zachary copies her motion and walks over to the kitchen. "I'm here to make sure my sister is okay." As usual, his camera is wrapped around his neck.

Alex and Grayson walk back over to the rest of us. I watch as Ethan glares at his brother with cold eyes. "The man of the hour is here." He angrily hisses as he keeps his leg elevated on a cushion.

"Knock it off, Ethan." Grayson rolls his eyes as he stands next to me.

"Get anyone else pregnant?" He laughs at his own stupid joke.

"The was the dumbest attempt at a joke, it could have been yours." Grayson fires back.

"Guess we'll never know, right Rach?" Ethan's eyes move to me.

"Don't talk to me." I glare at him.

"Okay, we aren't doing this tonight." Nicole lifts her hands in the air. "We're just here to get drunk and try to fix our friend group."

"I am not in your friend group, I don't know why we were even invited." Kelsey mutters as she takes another sip of her drink.

"I wanted to come." Crystal states from the living room.

"Why you so quiet, Jer?" Kelsey looks back at him.

He doesn't say anything. All he does is shrug his shoulder and keeps his eyes on me. "This party is lame."

"That's cause it's not a party." Alex corrects him as he turns back to Grayson and I. "Let me pour you guys a drink."

"I don't want anything." I quickly clear my throat.

"Same, I'm driving." Grayson mutters.

"I'll get you guys some water." He walks over toward the fridge and takes out a container of water, pouring it into two red solo cups.
