Lily's POV

I heard faint sounds of music, and my head was pounding. I woke up with a groan and grabbed my head, holding myself up. I looked around and saw that the room was locked and I could tell that the party had started. I got up slowly and walked towards the table to my phone, I saw a black floral dress covered with pink and blue flowers.

I took it in my hands and in the other I took my phone, I checked the time and it read 9:43. I set my phone down and awed at the dress, it was simple and short with long lace sleeves. I would have gawked at the size but it was to pretty, it wasn't much but it was the first good piece of clothing I had gotten for months and it meant a lot.

A grin spread across my face as I slipped out of Brandon's baggy shirt and sweat pants and slipped into the floral dress. I stepped in front of the mirror on the wall and smiled at my reflection, my dark circles and cuts were fading, i was finally looking more like I was before. I combed the tangles in my hair out with my hands, it looked surprisingly good, it looked natural yet fell perfectly on my collarbones brushing against them.

I was scared, to go outside i had always been one of those party loving girls so I know what goes on and I'm scared who I turned into wont be able to handle it. But I guess I'll have to go back out into that world someday and its better now then later. I guess there is still a bit of the old, daring Lily inside of me.

I took a last peek into the mirror, smiled, took a deep breath, and turned the knob on the door slowly, taking a peek out of the little creak. I only saw a few couples making out and... You know other stuff, in the hallway of my room. I walked down the hall following the blasting music, avoiding the drunk couples who wouldn't even remember each other the next morning. I eventually got to the end and saw tons of people, some grinding, some taking shots, and some just doing who knows what after taking drugs.

My eyes eventually reached Brandon, Amanda, and a group of others I recognized from school. Once Brandon saw me, his face lite up and he ran up to me.

"Hey your up!! Come play truth or dare with us, oh by the way nice dress" he slurred over the loud music and dragged me to a empty seat at the table. His breath reeked of alcohol, he had definitely been drinking.

"Hey lily I haven't seen you at school lately" Amanda tried to speak over the music, at least she seemed sober

"You didn't drink?" I said into her ear since I was uncomfortable yelling

"Oh I'm not a fan of alcohol, I can't control it very well"

At least there's someone who also won't be drinking

My attention turned back to the group as Brandon came to sit next to me and told me we were about to start another game, I tried to talk myself out of playing because I knew these things got crazy and I would end up having to drink or if it gets really bad, getting naked. But drunk Brandon wasn't so easy to cop with, so I ended up being forced to play.

It was all good other than all those shots Brandon took and the guy who was dared to take Christine in a room for 10mins. Then the bottle stops on me. Oh no. Amanda tells them to go easy on me and apparently I drinking out of someone's cup was safe for me to do. Who knows what is in it.

"Umm I'll pass" looking at the cup in Brandon's hand coming towards me

"Oh come on lil it's just a simple dare"

"I don't-" I was cut off as the cup touched my lips, I felt the bitter drink burn down my throat, I tried to back out but somebody was holding the back of my head to it. I scrunched my eyes until it was over and the hand left my head.

I coughed holding my chest, I could still feel the drink stinging in my throat. What the hell did they give me

When my eyes opened again I grabbed onto my head, I was starting to feel dizzy and burst out giggling.

"Let's play lets play!!" i giggled whole throwing my hands up

They spun the bottle once again and it landed on Amanda.

"Ok let's see, take your shirt off" one of the guys at the table said smirking

Amanda sighed and grabbed the hem of her shirt pulling it over her head. It was surprising that she had such a perfect body since she doesn't care about maintaining her body or looks. Wow I thought my girl best friend was beautiful and I only recognized that now.

"Hey!!" Brandon said getting up, still drowsy from the drinks "why would you dare her to do that, pervert!" he yelled at the guy

"Hey hey hey calm down, sit down and let's playyyy" I giggled again pulling Brandon back down to the chair by his shirt

"Yay it's Brandon's tuuuurrrnnnn" I laughed when the bottle pointed towards him

"Ok fine let's have a drunken kiss from Brandon and his best friend"

"Hey that's meeee" i said leaning on Brandon's shoulder with head on my hands

"Whatever" Brandon spit, his eyes focus on someone else

My head pounded and Brandon lifted me up by my shoulders, my eyes were barely open and I saw him lean in holding my head between his hands

I felt his soft lips pressing on mine but it felt wrong, I had no control of my body at the moment even if I wanted to pull away and run back to my bed at my house cuddling next to that someone, which wasn't who I was with or where I was.

I felt blood rush through my head and back to the rest of my body, I could feel my legs and the weight on my feet again even if it was barely holding me up. I slammed onto a heart chest as a warm arm squirmed its way over and around my arm holding the rest of me up.

My head was so jumbled up right now I couldn't understand what was happening around me, not to mention who the hell I was thinking about yet I felt all safe and protected with that arm around me like I had nothing to worry about and I could just let go of myself without a care.

My shut eyes started to open and I came back to my senses or should I say the other way around. I looked up at who was holding me and then at Brandon who was standing in front of me and him.

I put my hands on his chest and pried his arm off of me. I felt all wobbly again and felt like giving in to the dizziness but no instead I grabbed onto the chair next to me

"Hey, look who- who ever you are, y-you need to-" I pointed at his worried and confused face while struggling to hold myself up as I spoke "to leave okay!"

He set his hand on my forearm and tried to hold me up "Lily it's me, look I'm sorry but I need you to come with me, didn't you see my note I left it with the dress, did you not forgive me yet" his eyes softened but confused me further

"I don't know who you are ok!! j-just let go of me and leave!!" I screamed holding onto my head and pulling my arm out of his reach, everything was getting darker, it reminded me of that night again, why- why couldn't I just forget. I couldn't see anything around me anymore, just a soft touch that filled my arm with goose bumps. my eyes were filled with tears and behind that touch all I saw was my aunt, oh no she's back!!

"Stop it, please just let me go, I promise I won't tell, just let me go I'm sorry" I screamed holding my head with both hands, my palms pressing on my skull like it would make everything better again. Tears streamed down my face and I reached out to someone, Brandon? Before I fell to the ground finally letting go, with my parted lips, tear stained cheeks, and that horrible memory of her touch crawling on my skin.
