And if you let go,
I'll float towards the sun, I'm stronger 'cause you fill me up.
But when the fear comes,
And I drift towards the ground, I am lucky that you're around.

Mila knew her mum and dad would kill her if they knew where she was.
She knew they would probably ground her for a decade if they found out that she wasn't at Nicky's having a sleepover with popcorn and homemade brownies like she had said but in fact at a random boys' house party on the other side of London.
Nicky, Charlotte and Lilah; Mila's three best friends knew the boy whose house it was but she however didn't. She just tagged along to see if it was as good as it was supposed to be.
"Here, drink this." Charlotte handed Mila a white polystyrene cup. They had been dancing ever since they arrived.
"Aren't they supposed to be red?" Mila joked. "All house party cups on tv are red,"
Charlotte shrugs. "I don't care about the colour of the cups, just the contents."
She had met the girls at her acting school, Charlotte was just about to turn 18 and had an impressive acting CV already. She'd been recognised a couple times in the streets even. Nicky and Lilah were both 18, both of them had worked on West-End shows their whole lives.
With Mila only being 16 it did put her at the disadvantage of being the youngest but with her being so confident and loud, she blagged her way out of things and convinced others to believe she was as old as her friends.
"Hi, what's your name?" The guy was cute; brown hair, blue eyes. He was Mila's typical type.
"Mila, yours?"
"Alex,"
"Nice to meet you,"
He smiles at her, she knew he must have been at least 18 so she didn't really try her chances so she turned away.
"How do you know Ritchie?" He asked walking around her.
"Oh, I don't.. my friends do, I just came along."
Alex nodded. "Right,"
"How do you know him?"
"He's an old mate."
Mila didn't know what to say to that, so she looked around whilst his presence loomed over her.
"Want to go somewhere quiet?" He asks, his hand on her arm. "I'd like to get to know you better but the place is a bit too noisy."
Looking around she tries to find her friends, she wasn't quite sure how she lost them. "Erm, alright."
She followed him into a room opposite, it didn't have anyone in it and she wondered how he knew which place to go.
