Jules's P. O. V.

My eyes shot open and I woke up with a jolt.

The door flipped open and my 'mother' walked in.

"Juliana Cresswell, wake up!"

"I'm already awake, Kally."

"Oh", she just said when she saw me.

" Does it hurt?", she asked me.

"Is that a question?", I retorted.

"Touche. Juliana Cresswell, why did you booze?", she put her hands on her hips to show how serious she was.

I winced.

"My head hurts. You are making it worse."

She dropped her arms.

"I'm so sorry. Are you alright?"

I nodded.

"I will be if you stop talking and moving."

"Oh, okay", she said.

Then a few minutes later...

" Are you sober now?"

I managed to look up at her.

"I will be if I take aspirin and a glass of water", I looked at her expectantly.

But she just stood at the same spot not moving.

I sighed.

" I need you to get them for me."

She slowly started to realise what I meant.

"Oh right. I'll get them", she rushed to the bedside table, opened the drawer, took a bottle of aspirin and gave me one.

I swallowed it.

Then she poured water into a glass and gave it to me.

For the first time, I opened my eyes and took in my surroundings.

" Where am I?"

She shrugged.

"Don't know. One of the guestrooms, I guess."

Then she pulled me up.

"Let's go down the guys are waiting."

I rolled my eyes at Kally.

I can't believe she brought me downstairs just to get drunk again.

"Truth or dare, seriously?", I asked her when she told me to join she and the guys.

" Because of you, some people have not drunk yet."

Yeah.

That is exactly what she said.

So, that's how I ended up sitting between Jay and some other guy named Dash and opposite Reed.

I don't even know if that's his real name.

Am I right?

Is he really an old man behind that young mask?

I got goosebumps thinking about it.

And when did Rona become so close to Reed?

During the game, I felt Reed and Rona's gaze on me but I didn't dare look up at them.

I can not believe that I'm in the same room as the man who did all those things to me, 7 years ago.

"Jules! Jules!"
