Chapter 8: Wasted

Nope I wanna go home, this was a terrible mistake.

"Oh my gosh Amelia I can't do this, take me back home." I said nervously.

"Too late lovely we are already here!" She said with excitement.

We pulled up to a giant house with booming music and kids crowding around the lawn and inside dancing.

Of course Damien is set in such a cliché way.

We got out the car as Amelia parked and I noticed that Amelia only had on jeans and a tee shirt.

"Come on Clarity just have some fun." She grabbed my hand and led me inside of the house.

I scanned around the house to see if Lia was around and sadly I didn't see her, all I saw were a bunch of drunk teenagers dancing, kissing and doing whatever all around the house.

"Im gonna go find Damien, have fun!" Amelia shouted over the blasting music.

There I was, standing awkwardly in front of a raging high school party.

I shrugged and began walking around the house trying to find something to do.

"Hey there." Someone said behind me.

I turned around and noticed Damien smiling down at me with a drink in his hand.

"Hey yourself, this is some party." I smiled as I hugged him.

I loved how Damien wasn't the cliché football captain you normally hear in books. He was quiet, he was fun, nice and very loyal to his girlfriend which was Amelia.

"Yeah I figured we all needed a bit of fun, have you seen Amelia?" He asked as he looked around.

"Yeah she just walked away a few seconds ago." I pointed to the door.

"Thanks, oh and Lia is over there if you're looking for her." He said as he passed me a cup and walked away.

I looked around and finally noticed Lia in the corner talking to some blonde bitch from the cheerleading squad.

My heart sank as she leaned close to her ear and whispered as the girl blushed and giggled.

Lia had on black skinny jeans that hugged her bottom, white v neck tee shirt that showed her cleavage and a stylish blazer on with a pair of high top vans.

She looked delicious...in a non weird way but she looked great and she looked so unreachable.

She looked up to make slight eye contact with me and then went back to flirting with the blonde bimbo.

I turned away and gulped down the drink that Damien gave me and realized it was some kind of strong alcohol.

I speed walked carefully into the kitchen for more because I wasn't going to let Lia ruin my night. I poured more and more into my cup until I began feeling the affects of the alcohol.

Fuck drinking responsibly I was going to get wasted.

Lia's POV

I want to know who the hell decided to bring Clarity to this damn party? She fucking hates parties but yet here she is looking irresistible.

"How could your boyfriend neglect such a beautiful girl." I whispered in Jasmine's ear.

She was a junior and a cheerleader. I heard her boyfriend wasn't treating her right so I thought I would use her as a distraction.

She looked down and blushed as she giggled.

"Some people just don't know how to treat a lady." She said.

"Don't you think it takes one to know how to treat one?" I asked quietly smirking.

I looked up and noticed Clarity looking at me with a sad and defeated expression.

WHAT THE FUCK?!!!

I quickly looked down so she wouldn't notice me gawking at her. She looked so irresistible and gorgeous with that dress on but yet I just wanted to take my blazer off and cover her up with it.

I noticed her walk into the kitchen and my attention was no longer on the cheerleader.

After a while she came out of kitchen laughing and stumbling around with a drink in her hand.

She knows damn well she is a light weight and very little alcohol affects her.

"Are you listening?" My attention turned back to Jasmine.

"No not really but I have to go." I moved away from her and slightly followed behind her.

I came here assuming Clarity wouldn't be here so I could focus on other things and now here I am babysitting her. I may be mad at her but she is my best friend and I will do whatever it takes to protect her.

"Come on is this a party or a place full of boring people!" She shouted as sidestepped in the center of the dancing people and began doing what I can't call dancing.

People began cheering her on as guys began stepping forward trying to dance with her. I almost jumped when when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Just let her have fun and stop hovering around her like her dad or something. Here have a drink." Asha offered.

"No I can't drink tonight." I shook my head.

"Cecilia just go talk to her, it will make your life a whole lot better, besides I think she is genuinely sorry." Asha said.

I took a deep breath and sighed as I looked at Clarity.

I noticed some guy all on Clarity gropping and touching her as she continued to try to push him away.

I quickly walked over and pushed the guy off of her.

"Can't you fucking see she doesn't want you touching her?" I shouted at him.

"Who the hell are you?" He looked at me.

"Cecilia Beatrice Summers, her fucking best friend so you must have heard around the school that I won't hesitate to kick your ass." I threatened.

He raised his hands and backed away slowly from us not wanting trouble.

"Oh lookie Cecilia stop flirting with that blonde bitch and came to talk to me." Clarity giggled.

I took my blazer off and wrapped it around her shoulders then led her upstairs.

"Lia I'm not lesbian stop trying to have sex with me." She giggled.

I looked at her weirdly and then pushed her into an empty bedroom.

She stumbled onto the ground and looked up to glare at me.

"That wasn't nice." She struggled to get up and I rolled my eyes as I sat on the bed. She took her heels off and came over to sit next to me.

"Lia are you still mad at me?" She whispered.

"It's hard to stay mad at you. Just watching you look like a sad puppy dog makes me feel guilty." I shook my head.

"I'm sorry."

I chuckled. "You're drunk you don't know what you're apologizing for, besides I'm the one that's sorry."

I looked over and noticed Clarity taking off her dress which made my heart leap a little.

"What are you doing  keep your clothes on." I said nervously.

"Its hooooooooooot!" She exclaimed as she kicked the dress away, leaving her in her underwear.

She crawled over to me and laid her head in my lap.

"Lia please don't stop being my friend." She said.

I raked my fingers through her hair and sighed.

"I love you too much to let you go."

If only she knew the type of love I was talking about.

She sat up and stared at me with half opened eye lids. I could practically feel her drunken breath fanning my face.

"Lia what does it feel like?" She asked.

"What?" I asked as I unconsciously moved forward.

"Kissing a girl."

"Why don't you find out." I whispered.

She did what I never would have expected in a million years.

She kissed me.

Not a little peck.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and straddled my lap as she slipped her tongue into my mouth.

I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her back. I always dreamed of what her soft lips would taste like and my dream came true.

She grabbed for my shirt as if trying to take it off and thats when I realized.

She's drunk.

She doesn't want me she's just drunk, drunk people do crazy things all the time.

I broke away from her and pushed her off my lap.

"Clarity go to sleep, I'll take you home in the morning." I said as I turned away.

"Do you not want me?" I heard her ask quietly.

Yes.

"No."
