The G Word.

13.

" come on , you're with me." Katy says still dragging me along with her .
"Hey slow down I'm gonna fall ."

"Here take this ." She hands me a ping pong ball .

"Um, no I don't want to-" I get interrupted by Lee.

"Quinn? you're playing , have you done this before ?"

"You know if you don't want to I can take your spot ." The girl behind him suggests , she's been watching Lee for a while and I bet she just wants to get his attention .

"No I'll play , there's a first time for everything , right ?"

"Okay ." Lee says and we start the game .

Katy and I were off to a rocky start especially me , I drank a whole lot of alcohol and it was disgusting and it burnt my throat .
Then I got drunk and I mean really drunk , I was on a winning streak however but  for some reason I still kept drinking even though I didn't have to  and Katy encouraged me .

"Achew! Achew!Achew!" I keep sneezing and spot the cause of it , a dog ,a big white furry dog.

"Quinn are you okay ?"Lee asks concerned.

"I...I...I'm all...ver..allergi...c...t.. to..achew!  Dogs achew!" Im also terrified of dogs , ever since I was a little girl .

My mom and I were at the city  park  when I was like six years old and we were eating hotdogs .
I spilled some hotdog sauce on myself and and before I could clean it up some old man's golden retriever came charging at me and attacked me.
I was a little short for my age so from my point of view it looked like George from rampage.
My mom says things went down differently but I know what that monster did to me.

I instinctively step back from the dog , its  keen eyes still watching me . It looks like a stand off , you know like the ones you see in Texas cowboy films.
I slowly turn and start walking off as fast as I can despite the  heels when some guy bumps into me and pours a bunch of sauce on me and smears the hotdog on my chest .

"Oh my bad , I'm so sorry ." Before he continues , my eyes meet the dogs , he looks hungry .
In my head all I'm thinking is , 

It was at this moment she knew... she f***ed up .

The dog barks and just as the golden retriever did, charges .
Before it can catch up to me I run backwards and trip on my long pants with my high heels and land straight into the swimming pool .
Before I get out of the pool I notice something even worse .
My bandanas are floating at the top of the pool .

****

I instantly go sobber .

What the ef am I going to do .

"Aren't those Quinn's bandana's , from her outfit ?" Jarred yells and the whole pool area falls quiet before they erupt in giggles and cooing and whistles .
I can hear people chanting for me to come out of the water .

If you were me , you're underwater , running out of air and half naked in a pool surrounded by hormonal teenage boys , gossip mongers and  viral video  thirsty socialites .
What would you do ?

I can't hold my breath anymore , I try hard as I can to hold it a little while longer until some good Samaritan decides to come to my rescue.
All of a sudden the well lit pool goes dark and just dark enough for me to stick my head out .

"Quinn here take my jacket ." An all too familiar voice whispers and without hesitation I grab it and put it on .
He pull me out of the pool just as the lights come back on .

"Boo!" Jarred yells disapointedly .

I follow closely behind Lee who is  holding my hand leading me through the crowd . He's really warm .

****

"Take these clothes so you don't get cold ." Lee offers me a pair of sweat pants and a sweat shirt .

I walk into his room and get dressed , his room is surprisingly neat for a teenage boy.It also smells lemony , enchanting just like him .
From the décor I can tell he's a big fan of black .
The walls are painted black and on them are random customized  art , with initials L.S.
He really loves drawing .

A lions head  , specifically scar from lion king is drawn above the bed .

A half completed female face .

Some ocean waves .

Random calligraphy .

His dad who bad passed away .

And bunch of other stuff , it's beautiful .
He also has string lights  that make the room look like a magical utopia .

"Thank you for the clothes." I say .
His clothes are a little too huge for me , perfect.
"Sure thing ." He says .

"You want me to take  you ho-" I  push past him run to the bathroom  and knock the door open .
I kneel down infront of the toilet bowl and spill my guts out into it .It's a continuous loud hurling . Absolutely disgusting  and it gets even more embarrassing when Lee comes up behind me and holds up my hair .
This whole incident will scar me for life .

"Are okay ?" He asks once I flush the toilet , rinse out my mouth and and wash the make up off myface . The mascara was already dripping from when I was in the pool . I'm a mess .

"Come on I'll give you a ride home , okay ."

"Okay ." I murmur
