Almost

¦ S I X T E E N ¦

We quicken our pace towards the house and Veronica whispers, "Me and Elena, Faith and Avery."

As we get closer to the house you can see that there were many people. The music was so loud that it was unbelievable to think that the cops hadn't pulled up yet.

People are everywhere dancing with red plastic cups in their hands. Faith quickly hooks her finger onto the chain on my dress.

"Just so we don't get separated from each other!" she shouts over the loud music. Veronica and Elena had already disappeared into the crowd and so had Eli and Damon.

It felt odd that I had someone else take care of me. I always took care of myself and made sure I didn't put the burden on someone else. Now Faith was taking care of me willingly it really warmed me. Even the fact that she held onto my clothes instead of my arm or hand made me see how understanding and observant she was, since I made it pretty clear I didn't like when people touched me.

We walked past different rooms that were also crowded with people holding red plastic cups. No doubt they were filled with alcohol.

I go on my tip toes peering over the heads of people trying to find the source of drinks.

"What are you looking for?" Faith asks when she sees what I'm doing.

"Drinks." I reply simply still looking.

Finally I see a kitchen up ahead and I walk towards it with Faith following closely behind me.

When we enter the kitchen there was a lathe table that had cups, bowls and bottles of alcohol. I grab a cup and pour myself a drink and down it in one go.

Faith looks at me surprised. "I didn't know you were a drinker."

I shrug my shoulders and pour myself some more. "You'd be surprised."

"Looks like I'll have my hands full tonight." She smiles.

She also takes a cup but fills it with orange juice. I raise my brow at her.

"What? Atleast one of us has to be sober." She laughs and I almost do too. Almost.

I quickly drink another cup before filling it again.

Faith shakes her head with a small smile before tugging on the chain on my waist. "Let's go outside. Well atleast somewhere away from all these drinks."

We both push through people to get outside and when we do it's just as crowded as inside.

I hear a splash and turn towards it and my insides drop when I see a pool. People were jumping into it and some were even being pushed into it too.

"Can we go somewhere else?" I ask Faith desperately.

She doesn't notice that I'm feeling uneasy and shakes her head. "No, I don't want you getting more drinks. Look I think I see Elena. Let's go."

Again she pulls me towards Elena, who, might I add was closer to the pool than we were. I ignore the uneasiness as we make our way over.

"Oh! Hey guys!" Elena shouts over the music. She was holding onto Veronicas arm and she seemed very drunk.

"Well hello there sexy ladies. To what do I owe the pleasure?" Veronica slurred waving her arms about.

Faith and Elena laugh and I almost do. Almost.

"Anyways. Having fun so far?" Faith asks.

"I'm gonna go get a drink. I'll be back soon." I tell them and turn to go.

"Make sure you come right back." Elena called after me and I put up my hand making the OK sign letting her know that I heard.

I pushed through people trying to get back inside but the fastest way was to walk by the pool since there were less people there.

Ignoring my fear of the water I walk past it looking at my feet to make sure I walked carefully. Just to avoid an accident you know.

"Ow." I stopped walking and rubbed my head as I had just walked into someone.

"Well if it isn't the brat herself." Looking up I inwardly curse myself.

"Look, I'm not in the mood so leave me alone." I roll my eyes and brush a strand of hair out of my face before walking off.

Camryn grabs my arm pulling me back. "Not so fast. We still have to talk."

I take my arm away from his strong grasp and shake my head. "No we don't have to talk."

He let's out an exasperated sigh. "Come on just get over it already. The past is the past now let's just forgive and forget."

I scoff. The audacity he had to suggest that. The caucasity. "Forgive and forget? You expect me to just get over it and forget it happened. OK then I will. Tell me why you left and maybe I will."

I tap my foot on the ground waiting for his response. He just brings his arm up to scratch the back of his neck. A clear indication that he didn't want to tell me.

I glare at him. "When your ready tell me. Until then don't talk to me."

I turn and walk away ignoring his calls behind me. I need some drinks. A lot of them so I can get drunk as hell. Forget about everything and not remember anything. Even if it's just for a short while it's still worth it.

"Can you just stop for a second!" Camryn roughly grabs my arm and I wrench it out so hard that I start to fall backwards.

As I fall I hear the wind rush past my ears. I hear shouts and the music stopping. But everything soon dissappears as soon as I hit the cold water.

Fear takes over every inch of my body. I thrash around wildly trying to get out or even find something to hold onto. It's no use as everything slips through my fingers.

Every ounce of my body is sorrounded by one of the things I hate the most. My heart starts racing as it gets harder and harder to breathe.

Then everything disappears.
