DELIAH'S POV

I feel lightheaded as the music pumps through my veins along with the bittersweet alcohol I consumed. The football team won the game, no surprise there. The real surprise is that I was convinced to actually dress up and come to this party and, surprise-surprise, drink. Alcohol. I was always too scared because who knows what drunk me could do or say, but so far I was showing good behavior. That is untill Keanu decided to join me on the sofa.

"Well you've had enough to drink." he says sitting and taking the red solo cup out of my hand.

"Hey! I was drinking that!" I slightly slur and pout like a little child.

"And since when do you drink?" he asks raising his eyebrow.

"Since when do you care?" I ask taking back my drink.

My phone buzzed and quickly looking at the homescreen I see another ten texts from the mystery stalker. Huh. Ironic, but anyoing. I ignore the texts and bring the drink to my mouth. Just as the rim of the cup was about to touch my lips he took it yet again and threw it in the houseplant next to him.

"Rude" I say squinting my eyes at him. He raises his eyebrow and let's out a throaty laugh to which I stick out my tongue.

"You're really something." he says smiling.

"Yeah, thirsty." I say rolling my eyes.

Smirking he leans in "Luckily I have the perfect drink to quench your thirst. " his lips graze my earlobe sending sensations through my body. He slowly traces kisses from my ear, along my jaw to the corner of my mouth. Stopping, we make eye contact for a split second before capturing each other's lips.

Unfortunately, before I could even begin enjoying it, the kiss was short due to my ringing phone. He pulled away and I quickly took out my phone  silencing it. "Aren't you gonna get that?" he asked.

"It's nothing." I quickly say before locking my hands behind his neck and pulling him in for another kiss. He quickly responded and placed his hands on my hips. Pulling me against his body he added his tongue making me pull him impossibly closer. My phone started vibrating again making him break away.

"It sounds urgent." he says looking down at my phone.

"Trust me it's not." I say rolling my eyes. "I'm just going to switch this off"  but before I do, a certain message cactches my attention.

Get your dirty hands off of Keanu. I wonder what he'll say when he finds out.

I quickly look around the room but everyone is busy laughing and having a good time. Not a single person was on their phone.

"Are you sure everything is fine?" he asks again curiously looking around the room.

"Yeah" I smile and take his hand. "Let's go get another drink." I say pulling him up and dragging him to the kitchen. After passing numerous drunk teens we finally reach the kitchen. I waste no time and pour the strongest drink I can find down my throat.

"Woah! Slow down, darling." he says taking away my fifth cup. I can already feel the effect of the previous four.

"Why? You scared I'm too fast for you?" I ask pushing him against the kitchen island. His hands are instantly at my waist as he gives me a devilish smirk.

"I'm the king of speed." he says winking. I wrap my hands around his neck and pull him down for the kiss. Our lips crash together as we wildly made out. There was nothing slow or safe about this kiss. It made my heart beat faster and my stomach tighten. He roughly gripped my ass as he pulled me against him, leaving no space between us.

"Umm, Keanu?" A guy interrupted us making me groan. "What?" he asked a little on the rude side. "Sorry Clayton." he says sighing at his younger cousin. "What is it?" he runs his fingers through his hair.

"Umm... I was sent to give this to Delilah." he says stuttering as his shaking hands give me a letter.

If you don't answer your phone everyone here will know what you did.

"Uugh!" I grunt. "Who gave you this?" I demand.

"Um, a guy in the chess club. He said he got it from a girl in his class who got it from a guy who was paid to give it to her. I don't know who sent it but it's for you. I swear." he says looking like he's ready to wet his pants.  I try not to take my anger out at him and quickly turn on my phone again. I have numerous missed calls and unread texts all from one person.

I read the last message.

Let's meet up.

I quickly type my reply.

Fine.Place?

He/she quickly gives the address to an old alley behind an abandoned warehouse.

Not creepy at all
I think rolling my eyes.

See you in 10.

"I have to go." I say to Keanu grabbing my things.

"Is everything alright? I can drive you." he says observing me.

"Everything is fine." I smile at him.

"Okay, but I'm driving you. I'm not letting you drive drunk." he says grabbing his keys and I just raise my eyebrow at him. " Relax, I didn't drink" he rolls his eyes and escorts me out of the house.

After he drops me off at home I give him a quick kiss before hurrying inside the house. I then change into darker, more comfortable clothing and start driving towards the alley.

I park my car about 20 feet away and start walking to the back of the warehouse. The alley is dark so I have to squint my eyes to make out the back of the small figure leaning against the wall. I step on a branch, the sound of it cracking catching their attention. The figure spins around and I catch my breath. It couldn't be.

"Chelsea?"
