Ashton

Once I walk away from Anna, I decide to find Carson.

The only problem is, she's nowhere to be seen.

I have this bad feeling in the pit of my stomach, like she's with Luke.

Or Calum.

And right now, I can't tell which is worse.

___

Once I get into the kitchen, I grab a quick drink.

I hug it down, as it burns my throat.

Letting out a deep breath, I smile as I see Carson.

But she's with Luke.

And suddenly, I know.

He's worse.

___

Carson

So far, Luke has had 6 drinks.

I've had one.

He gives me a crooked smile.

"You look pretty." He slurs. "I like pretty."

I blush, and try to remind myself that he doesn't know what he's saying.

"Ashton also likes pretty." He giggles.

"Luke.." I trail off.

He smiles. "But I like pretty more!"

Oh god. I should have stopped him around 3 drinks.

He sways back and forth, and I hold him steady.

"Luke? Are you alright?"

He looks at me, wide eyed.

"Yeah. Let's dance!" He exclaims, intertwining our hands and pulling me into

the middle of everyone.

It's a slower song, so Luke pulls me close. He leans down, as if he's about to kiss me.

My heart flutters in my chest as my eyes flutter close.

And then, when I open them, Luke is on the floor.

And Ashton is on top of him.

Fear courses through as I realize what us about to happen.

A strangled scream escapes me as Ashton pulls back his fist.
