"We should play a game!" She says shoving the rest of her s'more in her mouth. "Truth or dare!" She finishes.

"Shay, I don't think-" I interrupt.

"Oh, don't be a party pooper!" She mocks. It didn't take long for the alcohol to hit her. This should be interesting.

I laugh and she starts the game.

Shay

I woke up with the sun shinning bright in my face. And I had no idea where I was. I sit up and rub my eyes.

We were still at the beach, laying in the bed of Ashton's truck. Ashton was laying beside me snores coming from his mouth. I couldn't remember a single thing that had happened. All I know now if that I have a major headache and I needed to take a shower. I had no idea where everyone else was, but Skylers car was still beside Ashton's truck.

I quietly got out of the back of Ashton's truck and walked towards the small smoking fire pit. Michael was laying in the sand next to the pit with a bunch of beer cans laying around him and I couldn't help but laugh to myself.

The sun was starting to rise above the water and it was just so peaceful and calming. I slowly make my way over to the water. The waves crash up on the sand washing away little rocks with it. This morning would be so much better if I could only remember what happened last night. I hope it was nothing bad or something that I would regret. I knew I shouldn't have started drinking, but last night was so much fun.

"Hey, have a good sleep?" Some says behind me. I turn around to see it was Grace. Her brown hair was messy and tangled but she still looked just as pretty.

"Oh, yeah, I don't even remember going to sleep." I laugh and Grace joins me by my side looking out at the water.

"You feel asleep on Ashton's shoulder last night." She explains. "You guys could be really cute together." She adds, I knew what she was hinting at.

"What happened last night? I can't remember a thing." I let out a little laugh and sigh.

"Well we started play truth or dare and you dared me to kiss Michael, which I have to thank you very much for that. I'm starting to like him." She giggles. "But then I dared you to play Seven Minutes In Heaven with Ashton. I don't think anything happened you'll have to ask Ashton, I went to bed in Sky's car after that." She explains.

I hope nothing happened between Ashton and I. Well I like him but I can't be with him, and I just hope he understand that. He needs to know that I like him. I just hope he can understand.

I hated how much I was starting to miss my family. They never said I was missing, hell, the probably didn't even noticed I left. Ever since I turned thirteen everything changed. They never payed attention to me, I barely came out of my room sometimes and they never checked to see if I was doing okay. They aren't your ideal parents. They are worse, and it makes me want to be a better mother if I ever have kids.

Grace leaves my side and heads back up to the fire pit. I don't know how drunk I was to even consider doing that with Ashton. I don't even think I drank that much.
Now that I think about it, I had fun when I started to drink. I forgot about my problems, I just had fun. And I loved the feeling, I wanted to do more stuff with Ashton, it gave me such a rush. I can't believe in even saying this but I can't wait to have fun again.

I walk back up the beach and everyone is now awake and talking about last nights events. Except for Ashton. He's probably still sleeping in the bed of his truck.
