Chapter 18~ Kook Life

"Izzy!" Rafe appears behind Kelce with a happy grin.

"Hey," I say, stepping around Kelce to walk towards Rafe.

"Yo, I got some yayo. Spread the word," Rafe says to Kelce who nods before walking away.

"What's yayo?" I ask in confusion.

"Nothing princess. I didn't think you'd make it. I'm surprised your brother let you off his leash," Rafe says as he grabs my hand and pulls me towards the kitchen.

"Oh, he didn't. I just snuck out," I say as Rafe grabs two polo cups and fills them with beer.

"You didn't tell them where the party was at right?" Rafe ask as I lean against the counter.

"Uh, no I don't think so-" I say, trying to remember if I did or not. "Wait, yeah, I think I mentioned it's at Kelce's."

"If they come and crash this party I'm gonna be pissed at you," Rafe says teasingly as he holds out one of the cups towards me.

Hesitantly, I take the cup from him and take a sip. It tasted bitter and burned my throat slightly as I took a bigger drink of it.

"This still taste like dog piss," I say, grimacing slightly which makes Rafe laugh.

"Rafe, they're waiting for you outside," A blonde haired girl says when she spots us in the kitchen.

"Okay, we're coming," Rafe says as he lets out a breath. Slightly confused as to what we were doing, I follow Rafe and the blonde girl out onto the packed porch.

I glance over at the large pool beside the house as Rafe leads me to a group of people surrounding a small table.

"Okay, let's get this party started," Rafe murmurs as he sits down beside the blonde and pulls me down beside him.

"What's that?" I ask as Rafe pulls out a small package which Kelce eagerly takes out of his hands and opens.

I stare in surprise as Kelce spreads the white contents all over the table.

"Is that cocaine?" I ask in disbelief which makes Kelce and a couple others snicker.

"Just relax Izzy," Rafe says quietly beside me. Kelce quickly arranges the white powder into a small straight line before he takes out a rolled up bill.

"Rafe, I don't like this," I mumble as Kelce does another line before passing the bill to the blonde girl.

I chew on my lip nervously, watching as Rafe continues to collect money from the teens.

"You know, 40 isn't enough for the amount of coke you've been doing tonight, but I'll let it slide this time," Rafe says to the blonde girl who rolls her eyes.

"Izzy, try some of this," Kelce says as he shoves the rolled up bill towards me.

"No thanks," I decline as my grip on my cup tightens.

"Come on, it does wonders-" Kelce urges but Rafe cuts him off.

"She said no," He snaps and Kelce holds up his hands in surrender. "Okay, damn."

"I think I'm gonna go," I say as I go to stand up but Rafe tugs me back down.

"No, stay. It'll be fine," He insist.

"Okay," I say quietly after a few seconds.

"Top! Hey! Top!" Rafe says excitedly as he jumps up from beside me and wraps his arm around Topper who'd just walked out.

I suppress a groan and take a drink out of my cup. Topper glances at me in surprise, obviously not knowing I was gonna be here.

"Hey, everybody. Hey, this is Top, all right?" Rafe says, patting Topper's shoulder. "I call him the Shred God. He goes Conan on overheads, right?"
