Sawyer sprayed one last bit of perfume on herself as she stood in front of her mirror holding her phone in her other hand, "I'm at your window." Brianna's loud voice echoed from the phone. Sawyer quickly turned it down.

"Alright coming." Sawyer hung up and slipped her phone into the back pocket of her low waisted black jeans.

She grabbed her mini hand bag off her bed and swung it over her shoulder. She shut off all her lights and made sure her bed was made and that her door was locked.

Sawyer climbed onto her bed and reached over unlocking her window. She slowly opened it trying her hardest not to make any noice.

Once the window was completely open Sawyer made eye contact with her bestfriend breaking a small smile before putting both legs out of her window and jumping a few feet below onto the ground.

"Ow!" Sawyer loudly whispered in pain as her feet and ankles went dumb from the harsh landing.

"Hurry Maddy's already down the street." Brianna wined, as she waited for Sawyer to finish closing her window.

"Okay okay let's go." Sawyer smirked as Brianna's face lit up and she grabbed Sawyers hand.

As the two teen girls got further away from Sawyers house they began to get louder.

"Whooooo!! First party of junior year lets fucking go!!!" Brianna cheered.

Sawyer giggled, and the two girls approached Maddy's cars.

Brianna opened up the back door to reveal a packed car. Maddy looked back from the drivers seat smiling at both of the girls, "You bitches look hot."

"As do you." Sawyer softly smiled at Maddy.

"you're fucking sexy are you kidding me!" Brianna beamed at her older cousin.

"Just crawl in and find space." Maddy suggested.

Brianna and Sawyer exchanged a small look before the two just climbed into the car and ended up sitting on the floor in front of BB and Cassie.

"Hi." Sawyer softly smiled at the older girls.

"Hey." Cassie bent down and gave her a side hug.

"You guys want some?" Kat looked back with a Gatorade bottle in her hands.

"Hell yeah!" Brianna said with no hesitation, taking it from Kat.

Kat let out a chuckle, "oh okay"

"What is it?" Sawyer questioned, as she watched Brianna struggle to chug it because the taste was so bad.

"Mmmm Bacardi, pink Whitney, and tequila I think." BB shrugged, "Whatever was in my dad's liquor cabinet honestly."

"Umm okay." Sawyer slowly nodded, looking down at the bottle that was now in her hands.

"You don't have to drink if you don't want to Sawyer it's okay." Brianna assured. She could tell Sawyer was nervous.

"No, No, it's fine. I can handle it." Sawyer broke a small smile. She took a light breath and brought the bottle up to her lips and took a small sip squinting her eyes.

Everyone laughed.

"you okay?" Maddy giggled from the front seat.

Sawyer turned her head back to look at Maddy, "Yeah it's good. I'm good." She brought the bottle back up to her lips and started to chug it.

"Okay okay, no more for you." BB took the now half way empty bottle away from Sawyer.

"Gotta save some for us." Kat laughed as BB passed the bottle back to her.

"Who is that?" maddy began to slow the car down glancing outside the car window.

"slow down. Is that Rue?" kat asked, widening her eyes.

"Rue like - didn't she die?" maddy pulled over.

"No she didn't die what-" Sawyer got cut off, "Okay. Do not freak me out." bb warned staring at Maddy.

Kat rolled her window down,"Whaddup Casper?"
Rue turned around looking at the girls, "Need a ride?"

"we don't have room" bb said from the back, looking around at the full car. "She can get in the trunk." Kat suggested with a small laugh as a joke. Maddy widened her eyes, smirking as if a light bulb went off in her head.

"Wait, That's a good idea! come on rue don't be a bitch" maddy snickered looking at rue.

Rue paused for a moment thinking. She glanced around the car before locking eye contact with Sawyer who had a blank expression.

"okay okay" rue opened the back seat and crawled over everyone, getting into the trunk.

     Brianna and Sawyer cheesed while walking into the party hand in hand.

Brianna looked at sawyer, " I know you're upset with Troy, but I really wanna see Roy can we please just go for a second." She pleaded.

Sawyer rolled her eyes at her bestfriend. Brianna quickly mouthed thank you as she dragged Sawyer up the stairs by her wrist.

As they got to the top Troy was already there eye balling some girl he was talking to.

"Fuck.." Brianna paused. She spoke a little too loud because Troy brought his attention from the girl directly onto them.

"Double fuck." Sawyer's heart rate began to go up.

She hadn't spoken to Troy since he cheated on her a few weeks prior. He'd tried to contact her and get her back but she was done.

"So much for trying to change right?" Sawyer loudly snickered. It was definitely the alcohol talking she would've never said this sober.

Troy let out a chuckle as he could tell she was intoxicated. He made his way over to Sawyer, towering over her.

Troy rested one of his hands on her waist, and turned his head back to look at the girl he was previously with, "Yo sorry Ashley, ima have to catch up witchu later my girl here right now."

The girl grunted and looked at him then at Sawyer before storming off.

As Troy let Sawyer go she snickered at him, "I see you still fuck with ugly bitches." she store up at him.

"I see you're clearly not done wit me. Showing up to my house and shit." Troy laughed shaking his head at Sawyer who just rolled her eyes as a response.

"I wanna get high." Sawyer raised her eyebrows at him, the turned to look at her bestfriend.

"Come on we know you got somethin." Brianna pitched in.

Both girls store up at Troy before he gave in.

"Fine. Follow me." Troy put his hand out, staring at Sawyer.

She hesitated before she intertwined her fingers with his.

Brianna led the way to Troys bedroom that he shared with his twin brother Roy.

"Aye you might wanna Knoc-" Troy tried to say but Brianna opened the door before he could finish.

"Oh.." Brianna muttered glancing around the room seeing that Kat, Roy and some other people were in there, "Hey guys?" she gave a fake smile, as she fully walked in the room.

Brianna sat bedside Roy and they began to have small talk whilst Troy sat on the edge of his bed while Sawyer rested her head in his lap, and her body laid out comfortably.

Troy rolled a blunt and the teens all passed it around keeping up the small talk. Each time it reached Sawyer she took long inhales, trying to feel it as much as possible. One thing she loved about the twins was that they always had good weed.

"What's the deal with your friend?" Roy suddenly asked, causing Kat to glance at Bri and Sawyer frowning, "Who?" they both questioned in unison, "BB." once Sawyer heard that name she let out a light chuckle.

"What about her?" Kat asked curiously.

"She like a prude or is she like... a slut?" Roy bluntly asked, causing Kat to snicker at him, "Definitely a slut." Sawyer pitched in.

"What about you?" Nick one of the guys there shifted his attention to Sawyer since she always had so much to say.

"Oh she's a slut fosho." Troy honestly admitted, shaking his head up and down while Sawyer used her hands to cover her face, "Am not!" she squealed.

"Oh you definitely is." Roy shook his head laughing, "Troys told me the stories.. And mannn, shittt." He exaggerated the end of his sentence.

"Bruh!" Sawyer playfully groaned as she swatted Troy's shoulder while he glanced down at her on his lap.

"Aye, I couldn't keep that shit to myself." Tory shrugged his shoulders.

"I've never had sex though. So i'm not a slut." Sawyer rolled her eyes.

"Yeah but that mouth be doin wonders." Troy chuckled, but something about that comment annoyed her.

Sawyer sat upright, and glanced over at Troy side eyeing him.

"What ma? You good for a mixed girl." Troy raised his eyes brows as everyone in the room burst out into laughter, expect her.

"whenever you get around your friends you wanna act all hard and shit but do they know about all the times you've cried and broke down over me like a little bitch?" Sawyer boldly let out causing every one to go silent, just staring at her.

"And don't even get me started on all the shit you talk about your friends so let's know our fucking places and act accordingly." Sawyer snapped while everyone was still in shock staring at her.

Before Troy got the chance to respond Sawyer had already stormed out, and he wasn't the type to chance her so he just let her go.

Brianna quickly got up and followed behind her. She grabbed her arm cashing Sawyer to snap her head around and look back to Brianna.

"Come on Sawyer lighten up it was just a joke." Brianna softly spoke.

"Just a joke?" Sawyer chuckled, "just a joke to you. But not to me, but of course someone like you wouldn't understand."

"What's that supposed to mean." Briana frowned.

"You know what never mind. I just need to be alone." Sawyer stopped herself before she said something she knew she would regret."

Brianna sighed and rolled her eyes, "Ugh whatever sawyer. I'll be in there just text me when your ready to go."

Sawyer nodded her head.

And with that the two girls separated.

Sawyer walked down stairs and noticed there was a huge crowd around the kitchen. she frowned and pushed her way through the swarm of intoxicated teens, trying to see what all the comoshion was about.

"By the way i'm Jules! I just moved here." A blonde girl that had blood streaming down her arm shouted to the crowd, "Hi Jules i'm Sawyer." Sawyer smiled at the girl and hoped up on the counter grabbing a bottle of Vodka that was near by.

Jules didn't respond she just glanced at Sawyer and broke a fake small smile before exiting the kitchen. Sawyer didn't think too much of it she just went on with her night.

Sawyer was a wuss when it came to Alcohol because the strong sensations of its flavoring but she enjoyed the way it made her feel so she just sucked it up and began to take a few big gulps of the vodka before setting the bottle back down.

Sawyer was a light weight, so the alcohol quickly kicked in. She started to feel more bubbly and giggly, she happily jumped off the counter and started dancing around the party in her own little world.

The house was very crowed and Sawyer could barley make her way out of the crowd that was surrounding the kitchen still.

She tapped on someone's shoulder that was standing in front of her, mumbling a small 'excuse me' They turned around and Sawyer's smile quickly faded as did Ashtrays.

"Do you need something?" Ashtray hissed.

Sawyer could smell the liquor from his breath hit her face since he was only a few feet taller than her, But she also couldn't help but notice his new hair cut. And everything new about him. He smelled different. He started using a new cologne? He looked taller too. No it had to be the shoes. Or maybe he did grow?

So many thoughts began going through
Sawyers head as she examined his new look. She hadn't seen or spoken to him since the big incident from freshman year. she must have been staring too long because Ashtray snapped his fingers in her face letting out a rather loud dramatic scoff, "Hello?"

Sawyer quickly snapped back into reality before clearing her throat, "Oh um. Wrong person sorry." she apologized as Ashtray just shook his head beginning to walk away. Without thinking  Sawyer caught up to him placing her hand on his exposed shoulder, "Hey Ash."

Sawyers touch sent chills through his body. He missed her soft touch.

Ashtray stopped walking and glanced down at Sawyer.

"What." he spat out. She quickly removed her hand from his shoulder.

"I just wanted to say i'm sorry. I know it's been a long time and we haven't talked but I want you to know you were really my best friend and I didn't want things to end-" Sawyer began to ramble but quickly stopped herself from speaking once she noticed Ashtrays angered expression.

"Do you honestly think I give a fuck Lee. I don't. Stop trying to explain yourself. You guys didn't mean anything to me anyways." Ashtray store hard at Sawyer. Her whole expression changed.

She wanted to explain herself to him. And tell him the truth. But now she didn't care about being nice. In all honesty she was hurt, more than anything.

"You don't care?" Sawyer simply asked.

"No shit. I just fucking said that."

"For someone who doesn't care you sure seem to bothered by it." Sawyer lightly chuckled, "You wanna know why I know you do care?"

"Because you're still the only person to ever call me Lee. You know that no one else says that. And if you hate me so much why are you calling me a nickname? And why are you getting so worked up over something that doesn't bother you?"

Ashtray let out a loud sigh, "just shut the fuck up. Shut up."

"No. You shut the fuck up and let me explain." Sawyer crossed her arms.

Ashtray knew she wasn't going to stop till he listened.

"Fine. Whatever. Make it quick." Ashtray rolled his eyes.

"The summer the trio ended, I didn't mean to hurt you. In all honesty I had no idea you felt the way you did and if I knew you had felt that way about me things would've went a lot differently." She honestly admitted.

"You didn't know I felt that way? I made it so fucking obvious there's no way you didn't know. And you led me on to think you felt the same but ended up dating the one guy everyone knew would treat you like shit." Ashtray drunkenly expressed.

"He was my bestfriend..." Sawyer muttered.

"I was your best friend!" Ashtray shouted.

Sawyer stood frozen for a few moments.

"You both were okay. We were all best friends. It was never supposed to end the way it did, but it did and we need to move on." Sawyer reasoned.

"Yeah, well I did. That shit was forever ago." Ashtray shrugged.

"Okay good. So we're good?" Sawyer broke a smile.

"Whatever." Ashtray coldly let out staring down into Sawyers eyes, making her nervous. She broke another small fake smile.

Ashtray slowly looked Sawyer up and down with his low red eyes. He admired her. Her outfit was nice. She still smelt the same as her usual scent. Her hair looked big and curly how he always liked it.

"I'm glad we can be friends again." Sawyer beamed.

"Friends.." Ashtray chuckled.

"Whyd you say it like that?" Sawyer frowned.

"The way your looking at me right now doesn't really seem too friendly." Ashtray didn't break the eye contact as he moved a curl behind Sawyers ear.

Sawyer's heart rate began to race once again. She was getting nervous. She wasn't sure why she was feeling this way but she knew she didn't want the moment to end.

Ashtray kept his red cup in his left hand, as he pulled Sawyer in by her waist with his right hand.

Holding her he looked down into her eyes. His cold touch sent shivers through her spine, giving her goosebumps.

Sawyer was feelings that she didn't know she could feel.

Just as Ashtray inched his face down, closer to Sawyers, Brianna let out a loud fake cough. Sawyer and Ashtray quickly snapped their heads to look at Brianna.

"Uhm. We have to go." Brianna grabbed Sawyer by her hand and quickly dragged her out of the party.
