•Serene's Pov•
Why did Gray bring roses? I'm really confused.

"Gray, you do realize I'm dating your brother right?" I said laughing.

"Serene? Ew!! These are not for you freak, these are for Raya!" Grayson explained.

"Oh well ok...WAIT WHAT!" I yelled. "THOSE ARE FOR RAYA! MY BEST FRIEND RAYA?"

"Listen Serene, I'm not a doctor or anything, but you didn't hit your head that hard, therefore you should know that you best friend is indeed Raya!" He said sarcastically.

"I know I'm just so excited you idiot, my two best friends!" I said.

"Yeah, yeah anyways where is sh-" He was interrupted. "Oh hi Raya! You look beautiful! Here I got these for you!"

"Omg thank you Gray! Your so cute!" Raya said running over to him and hugging him.

"I hate to interrupt." They both looked at me. "And as fun as this is, I kinda have a boyfriend that was kinda supposed to come too and he's also kinda like your brother Grayson so ya..."

"Serene don't try the whole sarcastic thing, it doesn't look good on you." Grayson said laughing. "But as a matter of fact, your idiot boyfriend is walking across right now."

"ETHAN!" I yelled running towards him dramatically.

"Oh my god!  Babe what's wrong?"  He asked worried.

"I-was-almost-a-third-wheel."  I expressed between fake cries.

"Oh no, babe, God forbid something like that happen to you again."  He said playing along with my act.

"To be totally honest, that was one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen in my entire life."  Grayson said killing the mood.

"Haha ok guys lets just go, get in the car everybody". Ethan announced.  "Hey Serene can we please ta-"

"Yes you can take my car."  I said.

"Thank you."  He said kissing me, I kissed back passionately.

We all piled into the car, me and Ethan in the front, and Grayson and Raya in the back. Ethan had his hand on my thigh the whole ride there, and Grayson and Raya just talked and got to know each other.

To be honest, I really didn't want to go to this party. It's not that I don't trust Ethan, I just don't trust him under the influence of alcohol.

"Hey are you ok?" Ethan said at a stop sign.

"Yeah, totally." I said sighing.

He had a sad and worried look on his face. He's really cute when he's stressed out.

A few minutes later, we got to the party. It was in a really rich neighborhood. It was a huge mansion. We met Kayden and Jake in front.

"Wow, Serene you almost look presentable." Jake said laughing.

"Nah, I think she looks stunning." Ethan said smiling at me.

We walked inside and the place smelled like straight up alcohol. Grayson was going to stay sober so that he could drive us back.

After a few drinks I was definitely buzzed. I was next to Ethan who not as drunk as I was. He was just sitting next to me listening to all of the nonsense I was saying.

"...and that's why I thought that a sloth lived in your backyard."  I said trying to be serious.

"Wow, it's still fascinating after the 7th time you told me."  He said laughing and hugging me.

"Hey I'm gonna go to the bathroom, I'll be back.  Don't miss me too much."  I explained sloppily.

"That's impossible."  Ethan said kissing my forehead and letting go of my hand.

I stumbled over to the bathroom, and found myself in front of two very familiar people.  Jasmine, Ethan's ex girlfriend, and Ryan, my ex boyfriend.  Oh fuck.  I tried to walk past them and Ryan grabbed my waist and pinned me against the wall. 

"Wow, long time no see beautiful."  He said into my ear. 

"Ryan let me fucking go!"  I said squirming trying to get out of his reach. 

"Oh, I already lost you to that Dolan fag, I don't think I will ever pass up another opportunity that has you in it, again."  He said still smirking.

"Ryan your drunk, and I left you because you cheated on me, now let me go, and maybe I won't tell Ethan."  I said trying to get him to let me go.

"Oh no need, I want Ethan over here."  He said buying his lip. "Jasmine will you go get Ethan for me please." 

"Of course."  She said smiling.

I watched as her ugly figure disappeared into the crowd of people.

•Ethan's Pov•
Serene has been gone for a long time, in starting to get worried.  She's really drunk, and as much as its funny, it's also really dangerous.

My thoughts were interrupted as a familiar whore was walking towards me. 

"What do you want Jasmine?"  I said clearly annoyed.

"Aww Ethy that's not how you should greet me."  She said biting her lip. "Anyways, Ryan wants me to show you something, so follow me!"

She led me upstairs, all the way down the hall, to a closed door. I opened it to see Serene pinned to the wall by Ryan crying.

"Ethan! I swear we didn't do anything." She said. That's so sweet. She thinks I think she's cheating on me.

"Serene, that was never my thought." I replied running towards her only to be pushed back by one of Ryan's friends.

She looked so scared, and pale. It made me so angry. I've always been protective of her, even when we weren't dating.

"Ryan let her fucking go!" I yelled.

"Wait, but Ethan this is the fun part. You get to watch your girlfriend suffer, because you took her away from me!" Ryan shouted.

I turned on my audio, so that my group chat with Kayden, Jake, Raya, and Grayson could all hear what was happening. I am just praying to God that one of them will find it, and come up here...
