SEVENTEEN [ THIRTEEN REASONS WHY ]

[0.7]

Alice Rose-
[Trigger warning]

Saturday finally arrived and Alice was relieved that school was done for the week. It's only been two weeks into senior year and Alice was already waiting to the leave the school.

"Honey, are you sure Chloe will be at this party?" Alice's mom asked as she knocked on her bedroom door.

"Yes mom!" Alice yelled from the other side of the door.

Alice changed into her 'party outfit' that consisted of ripped skinny jeans and loose fitting t-shirt, preferably one that broadcasted a band or singer that she liked. She wanted to dress casual. Alice wanted Monty to see that there was a side of her that didn't contain cheerleading, pink skirts, or dresses. She wanted to be herself.

Alice Rose arrived at the Walker's house and quickly entered the house. She walked by many drunk teens and just quietly judged them in her head.

Alice stopped to talk to a few people and then went off to find the boy she planned on meeting here.

The girl picked up her phone and dialed Montgomery's number quickly and sighed once it hit voicemail. Alice angrily turned off her phone and shoved it into her back pocket.

Stay High by Tove Lo blasted through the speakers around Bryce Walkers house as Alice Rose walked around the mansion looking for Montgomery.

"Babe!" someone's voice called causing Alice to look in that direction to only see her friend Chloe drunkly hanging off of the kitchen counter.

"Chloe, what are you doing?" Alice questioned her friends as she helped Chloe balance out.

"I'm having fun, something you should be having," Chloe slurred while wrapping her arms around Alice's neck.

"Yeah, I'm trying too. Have you seen Monty?" Alice asked as she helped Chloe get to a safe area to sit.

"No, but you need to loosen up a little. Here, drink the rest of this," Chloe said shoving her plastic red-solo cup into Alice's hand and snuggled against the armrest of Bryce's living room couch.

"Alright," the dark skinned girl said to herself and took a sip of the intoxicating substance and soon scrunching her face up in disgust, "how can you drink this shit?"

"I don't," Chloe mumbled and quickly let her soft snores leave her house.

Alice rolled her eyes at the sight of her drunk friend and found herself back into the kitchen filling up the red-solo cup once again.

"Hey, there you are," Alice heard Monty's voice say from behind her.

"Yeah, here I am," Alice said with an annoyed voice and rolled her eyes, "if you were going to stand me up, then why come at all?"

"I- that wasn't going to happen. I got caught up in something at home," Monty said placing his hands softly on the girls face, but she quickly shook it off.

"No, you said this wouldn't happen and it did. For the second time, Monty," she said sadly and put her cup down for a second.

"I'm sorry. I really am. My plan wasn't to stand you up, not again," he said sincerely.

"Fine," Alice said and folded her arms, "if you're so sorry then make me a special drink," she said and wiggled her eyes brows causing the brunette jock to laugh at her.

"Your wish is my command, Madame Moselle," he said and brushed past Alice to the counter.

Only an hour past before the two were separated once again. Alice Rose was tired and she was denying her body's request to sleep.
