annies pov
let me tell you what went down...
at least from what i can remember.
jayden handed me a shot of vodka that i took real quick and let me tell you, it was pretty good. once we both took our shot, i looked over at hayden who was keeping an eye on us the whole time. a few minutes later, people came around passing more drinks so jayden grabbed us some and we drank some more.
"jayden i just gotta ask, why is there alcohol?"
"seniors. addison and bella are the two most popular juniors in our school. they basically know everyone"
suddenly they came over to us after that
"hey guys, you most be the popular sophomores. glad you guys could make it." addison said
"just for the record, this is a lowkey party. if you drink and get drunk, it's not on us. don't get into peer pressure either, people know here if others don't want any, that means to stop offering. also, if you get too drunk and can't get home, just crash here." bella told us
"yeah and don't go upstairs drunk, with a total stranger or get any drinks from one besides the person passing out drinks or from the drinking 'booth'."
"well, that's it, enjoy our party...hayden, jayden, &...annie!"
and with that, they left.
"omg did they really just talk to us & know our names?!"
"yes jay" i laugh and look at hayden
"let's partyyyy" jayden grabs our hands, leading us to the drinking booth
"c'mon, let's have fun!" she told us handing us drinks
"nah, i'm good" hayden tells her
"you sure?"
"yeah, i'm fine"
"cheers anns" she clicks her drink to mine, together we took the shot...after shot...after shot...and let me tell you, every shot i took reminded me of my father. i took too many that i couldn't stop if i wanted too. that's when, the night became a blur...

hayden's pov
well, the girls are serious too drunk and it's 9:30, one hour and half into the party. i've been watching them this whole time but at least annies getting her mind off johnny for awhile. she's been very sad, seeing her smiling and laughing is all i want to she her doing. oh shoot, i was zoned out and once i snapped out i saw annie and jayden on different teams of 3 playing beer pong...oh no...
"guys...guys...don't worry...i-i i'll take alllll the drinks so that you all can be home safe" annie told her team.
this isn't good
"yea yea same for me guys, i got you"
oh no.
both of them were too drunk that they were never even close to the cups. i let them play a little longer then i pulled them away into the kitchen where no one else was at
"why you do that hay"
"i think you both need a break anns"
"no hayden we good, c'mon anns let's get back to drinking! wo!"
"yeah no, let's go home" i'm not letting them stay here any longer
people start turning up the music
"let's dance!!" they said in sync
well this went through a different path than i expected. they left to the crowd of people dancing then carson comes up to me
"hey man"
"hey, i didn't know you were coming"
"laur and i got invited but she didn't want to come since, you know but she told me that i should com when i kept denying that i should stay with her so now i'm here. didn't know you were coming"
"i wasn't but somehow i got convinced in coming"
i look at the crowd where jayden and annie were at and carson looks
"ohh, i see. they're drunk huh?"
"they are drunk drunk"
"well i think we should get them out of here before anything happens"
"you'll help"
"yea, i'm over this party. now let's hurry"
"alright"
the crowd seemed to get bigger, everyone started singing while screaming. carson and i went in it trying to find them and all i saw was this guy all up on annie.
oh no he isn't.
i approached him and pushed him off of her. let me just say, he was sure in hell sober.
"what's your deal man?" he told me
"she's drunk, leave her alone"
"we're having fun, who the hell are you?"
"none of your business, go find someone else. carson get jay"
"nah nah nah, let us have fun. right gorgeous?"
he looked at annie who wasn't paying attention and dancing
"dude just leave her alone"
i got closer to annie to take her outside and the guy comes and turns her around, about to kiss her. he places his hands on her face leaning in. i wasn't going to let him touch her so, i punches him, making him fall.
"anns let's go, now"
"why"
"never mind"
i picked her up bridal style and ran out the door where carson and jayden were at
"what took so long?" carson asked
"i'll explain in the car, now let's go. my car is over here"
we went to my car and got the girls in the back and drove off. i told carson what happened on the way to carson's house.
"crazy story"
"could've been worse"
"a lot worse"
"well thanks for everything"
"anything for the bro"
he got out of the car and went inside his house. next, i helped jayden go inside her house and took her up to her room, putting her on her bed.
"good night jay, i left some water and pills for the morning"
"bye bye haydenn thank youu"
i turned off the nights and closed the door. i went back to my car where annie was sound asleep in the back. we got to her house and i took her to her room. once i tucked her in her bed and as i was about to leave i heard
"stay"
i turned around and made eye contact with her. she smiled and made some room for me.
"are you sure?"
"please..."
i wanted to but at the same time i couldn't do that to john.
"annie, you're too drunk."
"it doesn't matter, please just stay"
i went over and sat down on her bed. i looked at her, she was still so beautiful. i wanted to kiss her right then and there but i held myself back. i laid down, resting my head on the pillow, and turned my head facing her. we looked at each other as it seemed like the world just stopped and we were the only two in the world. i'm crazy about her and i don't know what to do anymore. i could stay like this forever. she is truly the most amazing human being ever and i wish i could spend the rest of my life with her. she's the one and will always be, the one.
