Life changes.

Party.

Pulling up to the party I look around and smile. It seems like this is going to be a great night. Alex parks his jeep and turns to me smiling. “Ready?” I nod and watch as he gets out. I open the door to see Alex standing there holding a hand out. “I’ll help you.” Placing my hand in his I watch as my heel hits the rail and as I place my other heel on the rail I feel my foot slide and I start going forward when I feel arms holding me. I look up and smile. “Thanks Alex.” Smiling he places me upright on the ground, “we aren’t even in the party yet and you are already getting in trouble.” I smile and shrug, “Well you will have to protect me then.” He laughs and throws his arm around my shoulder, “Anytime sweetie. “

Walking through the door I look around. I see people everywhere; dancing, leaning on the wall, and laughing.  I look at Alex and smile as we walk farther into the house and into the living room.

Alex finds a seat on a couch and sits me down. “I will be right back.” I nod and watch him go towards the kitchen. I look around and see a bunch of people dancing on and around each other. I shake my head and see people come through the door with beer. I tilt my head and look around the house some and see that I am in a frat house.

I see someone stand in front of me. Looking up I see this Brunette staring down at me, “Hi.” I smile, “Hi.” He leans down and smiles, “Want to dance?” I start to answer when I see Alex look at me and bump the guy smiling. The guy moves over slightly and stands up looking at Alex. Alex smiles and hands me my drink. The guy looks between Alex and me and then laughs before walking away. I smile and stand up, “Thanks.”

I see a coke in my hand and laugh before taking a drink. Alex is standing behind me and quickly I get bored. I turn slightly and smile, “I am bored, Let’s dance.” He smiles and nods, “Sure.”  Placing a hand on the small of my back he leads me to the dance floor and starts swaying. I start to move a little and he laughs and starts to do little moves.

A couple songs in the smell of alcohol is taking over and it starts to take over. I turn to see Alex and smile, “Can you get me something to drink?” He looks at my coke in my hands and tilts his head a little, “Umm..” I smile and tilt my head, “A beer.” He looks at me and then I see him clench his teeth and swallow. “Um, Ally? I don’t think…I don’t know… I mean we are.” I put my finger to his lips, “Please.” He looks at me and I see him struggle a little then nod, “Okay, I will be right back.”

A few minutes later Alex comes in with two drinks in his hands. Smiling I set my coke on a table and leave it. I see two cups  and take one and look at it before smiling. Lifting it up I take a big drink and cough as it goes down. Alex laughs and I look up, “How is it?” I shake my head, “It is so gross.” He laughs, “After a few sips it gets better.” I smile and see Alex take a small sip and then another and it seems to be better for him. Smiling I lift it up and take a small sip and even though it is still gross its not as bad this time. He is watching and I smile, “Not as bad.” He smiles and raises his cup. Smiling I raise mine and we hit them before drinking more.

Alex and I start to dance together and with a little bit of alcohol in me I am relaxed and lose. I am having fun. I feel amazing, like I can do anything.

A song comes on I kind of know the beat and the song but I just smile as I keep dancing with him.
