Aliyah's Pov

"Want another" Demi asking. She is drunk out if her mind. We've been here awhile and she's had more drinks than I can count. I won't say I'm drunk, but maybe a little tipsy.

"Sure" I beamed finishing my drink

"Slow down" Jerome chuckled looking at me

"Are you okay?" He ask with a small smile

"Yeah. I'm really good actually" I return a smile

"Good to hear, but you may want to slow down with the drinks yeah" He said and I nodded not really listening to him.

"Let's go dance" Demi said not waiting for my reply before pulling me along with her.

"Demi I don't want to dance" I shouted to her over the loud music

"Please. I want you to enjoy your time here" She begged and I sighed letting her pull me further into the crowd.

I look around at the group of sweaty bodies that surrounded me. Demi started dancing not with anybody really, but she started moving her body to the rhythm of the music. I took a deep breath letting the music take over my body. After dancing through a few songs and a couple more shots, I was exhausted. I walk back over to our table to see Jerome talking to a few people, I excused myself grabbing my clutch purse pushing my way through a few people before I finally found the bathroom.

My phone vibrated in my purse so I dug through it finally found it when it stopped vibrating. Five missed calls from Alex and 10 from my mother. I send a quick text to Alex, but ignored my mother because I really don't feel like arguing at the moment. I searched through my phone to see if I had any messages from anyone. Nothing, not even from August. I don't know why but I found myself dialing his number.

I rest my phone on the counter putting it on speaker while applying lipstick. The phone rang a few times before it when to voice mail. Why isn't he answering? I thought redialing his number and after the third ring I hung up. I sighed and tore a piece of paper towel from the dispenser whipping the sweat off my forehead.

I was about to walk out the bathroom when my phone rang and August's name appeared on the screen. I waited a few seconds before clicking the green button.

"Hello" I say in the phone

"Aliyah?" He asked his voice deeper than normal

"Did you call me?" He questioned

"Yea. I guess I did" I said turning the lock on the bathroom door

"Are you drunk? He says

"A little" I said honestly.

Someone banged on the door scaring me. I ignored the noise, but they started banging harder.
