Chapter 6

The party was already in full swing by the time we got there. I felt very exposed in the mid thigh length fitted dress Hailey insisted looked amazing on me. I was also getting very weird looks from the guys who were obviously way to drunk to recognize who they were gawking at. It was nice though, to get nice looks from people who normally look at me with looks of pure disgust even though it world only last for one night.

   Hailey grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the kitchen where the music wasn't as loud. I saw about 4 couples making out on the table, it was  disgusting, they saw us and ran out of the kitchen looking very flustered. Hailey rolled her eyes and immediately grabbed a cup and filled it with vodka and downed it in three gulps. She had always been able to hold her alcohol, I on the other hand would have started puking my guts out on the first gulp.

   All of a sudden a very drunken looking Richard stumbles into the kitchen and pleads with Hailey to go and dance with him. She quickly gives me a look as if she was asking if I would be okay alone to which I quickly nod not wanting her to miss out on the fun of the party because she's babysitting me. Richard drags her out but not before giving me a wink that actually looked more like a mini seizure than anything and then I'm left alone in a kitchen filled with booze.

   Knowing for a fact that there is no way I'm going to dance anytime soon I decide to just chill in the backyard. I quickly took a cup and emptied its contents then filled it up with water and went into the backyard. No pool thank goodness but I look around a little bit more and I see a hammock in between two huge trees and make a bee line for it. Thankfully the music is very minimal here and only the vibrations can be felt. I lay down take my phone out and text Jordan to tell him that I got here safe and then go on Instagram to watch random videos.

   About an hour later I got the sudden urge to go pee so so I made my way towards the house and I'm very surprised to see the party still in full swing. I quickly look round the room in search of Hailey but she's nowhere to be found, I just shrug to myself and start look around  for the bathroom but all the ones downstairs are full so I make my way upstairs. At some point I started to get the feeling that someone was watching me but I ignored it and blamed it on my dislike for parties.

   On my quest for the bathroom I open a random door and see some people inside. As I'm about to apologize I hear my name and immediately recognize the owner of the voice, Hailey, suddenly I'm intrigued.

“I mean Dakota is okay, she's a great friend and all but sometimes she acts so stupid and she thinks she's better than everyone just because she's rich. I feel sad for her sometimes though her parents use money to spoil her and her brother to substitute for the fact that they don't love her, I've never seen a more dysfunctional family ever” I heard Hailey slur before she and the people she's with start laughing.

   My heart cracks and my eyes well up with tears. I run into a random room and try to calm my self down but my body has other plans and my lungs start to reject air. I try grabbing my phone to call my brother to come and get me but my hands start to shake uncontrollably and my vision starts to blur. It feels like I'm having a panic attack and that's the last thing I want when I'm in someone else's house especially during a party filled with drunk teenagers. When black doors start to cloud my vision and I'm about to pass out, the door suddenly bursts open and I see....
