Painted Red ( One Direction )

Chapter 1

Sarah's POV

My name's Sarah Rose. I go to Clandestine High as a senior alongside my two best friends, Casey Montgomery and Victoria Avery. Everything about my life is normal, typical, for a teenage girl. Well it was for the time-being, until a couple complications changed my perspective on my many things.

" Don't you think you've had one too many drinks " I chuckle as Casey starts talking about how she wanted to marry Peter Pan in her drunken state. I look over to Victoria who was too occupied with her boyfriend, Liam, to take notice of Casey who was now attempting to walk with her 3-inch heels. Liam flew in from England yesterday to spend time with his girlfriend. The two of them met when our group took a trip to England two months ago, and ever since then they've been skyping every night and somehow managed to maintain a long-distance relationship.

My attention drifted away from the happy couple and went back to Casey as she tried to walk towards the dance floor but collapsed when she lost her balance. Luckily I was there to catch her before her face hit the cold, solid floor.

" Woah, she's wasted " Victoria voice catches my attention through the pounding music as she walks up to me and helps me get Casey up. She was now slurring her words and kissing the air, probably having some weird fantasy about Peter Pan.

" Yeah. There's no way she's going to be able to sneak back inside her house without getting caught. We have to help her out " I rub the back of my neck. Victoria looked at Casey with a weird expression on her face as she began to hysterically giggle.

" Yeah let's go " Victoria smiles and waved Liam goodbye as she helped me move through the crowd of dancing people, drunks toppling down like pin heads, and waitresses who looked straight out of a playboy magazine. The club was packed with people but we managed to find the door and exited the building.

The three of started to walk towards Victoria's car. We were a couple feet away from the vehicle when the drunken girl looked up at us.

" Guys, I don't want to go home yet, I'm hungry " We both look down at Casey who was bobbing her head back and forth. She finally got her balance back and could slowly walk towards the car with us, almost sober, but we still held onto her for precaution.

We drove to a Chinese restaurant down the block since it was the only store open at three in the morning. Victoria luckily had some jackets in her trunk, so we placed them over our dresses before stepping inside.

" Guys I'm sober now, you can let go of me " Casey groans. Victoria exchanged a look with me, questioning if we should let her walk on her own. Even though she was sober, she was still learning to walk in those deathly heels.

" Alright if you say so Mrs. Casey Pan, wife of the Peter Pan " I smirk and walk over to the counter to order some food. I could see Casey blushing behind me as she looked over at Victoria, who held her hands in the air in defense.

We both sat down on a table with a window seat, the lamp posts outside were flickering as a couple cars passed by every ten minutes.

" So what made you get so drunk tonight? " I pick up a dumpling with my chopsticks and plop it into my mouth.

" Alcohol " She looks directly at me with a bland expression on her face. I furrowed my eyebrows.

" You know what I mean. The last time I've seen you drink this much was when he ... broke up with you " I look down at my plate, not wanting to see the expression on her face. There was a small silence.
