third person.
warning !!! mentions self harm.
"come on, get up," trinity dragged estrella out of bed.
"no," she whined, pulling onto the covers.
"yes estrella." grace said. "you've been inside all day! there's a party tonight and you're come with," she put out her hand for estrella to grab.
she rolled her eyes and huffed, "fine."
"wait really?" lillian asked. "i thought it was going to take years for you to get out of bed."
"no drinking-" trinity tried telling her.
"well you're taking me to a party. what do you expect?" she then left to the bathroom. she peaked her head out the door, "wait lillian you're coming too?"
"yup, jacks family's taking care of lavender."
"diana?" estrella looked over at her.
"yeah, sure. why not," she shrugged.
"great!" she closed the bathroom door.
"didn't that seem a bit... off?" grace questioned the girls.
"it's estrella. everything about her is off," trinity stated and left the room, shaking her head.
"i don't know but drinking? this isn't gonna go good," lillian mumbled and diana nodded in agreement.
"seavey, get out of bed!" corbyn jumped on the bed.
"corbyn get off!" daniel pushed him off the bed.
corbyn groaned as he hit the floor. he popped his head up, "i told you if you go back to bed i'll jump on your bed."
"let me sleep," he mumbled and held the covers tightly.
"daniel come on. we're gonna party," corbyn pulled the covers off the boy. "i'm not going to let you sleep here all day in estrellas room!"
"he's right seavey," corey spoke. "you have to come. we're not letting you stay home all day again."
"go away," daniel told them.
"nope!" corey popped the 'p'. "daniel you love to party-"
"she's not going corey! i'm not going to say it again! leave! me! alone!" daniel yelled.
"who said she wasn't going?" corbyn said.
daniel sat up quickly, "what?"
"now go shower. you smell like four days ago. wear something nice." corey pulls daniel out of bed.
"is she really going?" daniel asked as he was being pushed into the bathroom.
"yes daniel! the girls convinced her. now go shower before she sees you like this," corbyn moved his hands in motion, showing daniel himself. he looked down. he was wearing the same clothes since forever. "now go!" he shoved him into the bathroom, locking the door then closing it.
"that boy is so much work," corey sighed and sat on the bed.
"he so is," corbyn agreed. "do we really have to clean this room up?"
"nope. at least i'm not going to do it." corey then walked out the room.
"great," corbyn mumbled. he leaned over and picked up a frame that was on the bed. "what's this— oh," he fluffed his hair as the picture in the frame was the one he took on estrellas and daniels second year anniversary.
"stay with her at all times," trinity told diana.
"what why me—" she sighed and watched as trinity walked off to her boyfriend who came in with jonah and zach. "maybe it's a good idea," she watched as zach was greeted immediately.
diana shook her head and went off to find estrella who was the first to get lost in the crowd of people. "jesus, we just got here," she mumbled while watching estrella drink down a bottle of alcohol.
"didn't you guys just get here?" corey asked diana as he saw estrella going for a second bottle.
"yup," she muttered. "what are we going to do with the both of them?"
"try to keep them away from each other," corey shrugged. "but i just needed them both out of the house." he then walked off to estrella. "hey shortcake," he greeted the girl.
estrella gasped with excitement, "corey!" she slurred. "you're here!" she stumbled over to him.
"yeah... how are you drunk already?" he chuckled a bit.
"magic!" she giggled loudly, catching other's attentions.
"don't you even think about it," trinity told daniel as estrella caught his attention.
"trinity leave me alone," he tried to walk off but trinity pulled his arm back.
"leave her alone daniel. let her have some fun," she said.
daniel sighed and walked the other direction. but still from where he was, he watched her every move. it was noticeable that she was drunk. she soon had a guy walk up to her. he tensed up.
"hi pretty lady!" the man said to estrella from behind her. "what's you're name darling?"
estrella softened at the word darling. "estrella!" they spoke with their voices louder than usual because of how loud it was in the house.
"pretty name," he complimented her. "i'm ronny!" he held his hand out.
she shook it, "nice to meet you ronny," she smiled. ronny, dani, two different words but for her it felt the same.
"wanna get a drink?" ronny asked. estrella lifted the bottle in her hand. "right," he laughed a bit. "how 'bout i get you another drink?"
estrella nodded, "sure! but i'll be over there," she pointed to where corey and the gang were at. "meet me there?"
"yeah," he then left to get the drinks and estrella left to greet her friends.
"hi corbyn!" she practically screamed into his ear. since she was drunk, she almost fell into his arms.
"hey estrella," he held her as she tried getting back up.
"look! alcohol!" she giggled as she lead up against the wall. "oi, my head hurts," she threw her head back and hit her head. "ow!"
"are you alright?" corey asked and she nodded rapidly.
"oh god, dizzy," she then fell onto the floor. she burst into a laugher as zach went to help her. "i'm fine zachary," she slurred.
"is she ok?" daniel questioned corbyn as she was still on the floor, fighting zach.
"she's wasted," corbyn answered with a very concerned look on his face.
"estrella?" ronny appeared with two drinks. "your drink." she immediately stood up and grabbed it.
"thank you!" she began to drink some but trinity took it away from her. "damn it trinity!"
"i think you had enough to drink," trinity told her, handing the drink to corbyn. he smelt it and it definitely wasn't alcohol. like it was, but there was a mix in it.
"did she drink some?" corbyn asked corey.
"only a bit, why?"
"i don't think this is just alcohol," he brought it to his nose again, smelling it.
"what do you mean?" daniel asked, grabbing the cup. "what the fuck is that?"
"that's what i'm saying."
"hey leave her alone!" ronny yelled at trinity. "she could drink if she wants to!"
"man, she's had enough to drink. she could barley stand," corey told him as zach held estrella to stay up.
"she's fine!" ronny told him. "come on estrella." she was going to leave with him but fell. daniel caught her this time. "let her go dude," ronny pushed daniel off of her.
"she can barley walk, just go find someone else to hook up with," daniel said.
"no i found this girl and i plan on having her for the night. just let her go!" ronny pulled estrellas arm.
"sorry but i can allow you to take her." daniel started to walk with estrella away from the boy.
"let me go!" estrella yelled at daniel.
"what are you her boyfriend?!" ronny shouted at daniel.
the boy handed estrella to corbyn. "hold her." he walked back to ronny. "so what if i am. so what if i'm not," he punched the shit out of the man. "you shouldn't try and fucking drug a girl especially when she's already drunk."
daniel walked back to the group. "i'm going to take her home-"
"no you aren't," trinity stated. "i'll take her. i don't trust you with her."
"trinity come on-"
"i'll take her," corey said before this turned into a fighting match.
"but corey-"
"i'll drive her home. daniel, stop worrying alright. she'll be fine at all times when she's with me, you know that," he walked over to corbyn.
"ok," daniel mumbled. "just tomorrow she's going to have a terrible hangover."
"i know she will. i'll take care of it," corey stated.
"i'm tired," estrella rubbed her eyes.
"i'm taking you home. come on. bye guys!" he waved to the group before walking out the door.
"what are we going to do with him?" corbyn asked as ronny was knocked out of the floor.
"zach do you still have the water guns and silly string in your car?" daniel questioned the boy.
"yeah... why?"
"and jonah you still have the rope, tape and string?" daniel looked over to him and grace who's face turned a deep shade of red.
"kinky motherfuckers," corbyn mumbled making trinity snicker.
"yes," he answered, ashamed.
"i have an idea."
"corey my head hurts. and my stomach," estrella whined as she pulled the covers over her body. she quickly got up and ran into the bathroom. she threw her head in the toilet and vomited.
"shit!" corey ran after her. "you're not going to party for awhile alright," he stated and rubbed her back, pulling her hair behind her shoulder.
"that felt good," she sighed and laid back on the wall as she was still on the floor.
"yeah," corey mumbled and flushed the toilet. "keep a bucket by your bed."
she nodded and wiped her mouth with toilet paper corey handed her. "why don't you take off the sweater. it's hot and you have vomit on it."
"i'm good," she waved him off.
"estrella it's like a million degrees in here," corey stood up. "just wear a shirt to bed."
"i said in fine corey."
"why are acting weird?" he asked her.
"if i take off the sweater will you be mad at me?" estrella questioned him.
"why would i be mad at you for-" it clicked. "estrella," he fluffed his hair, letting out a soft sigh. "when?"
"the day after i left yours," she answered and fiddled with the end of the sleeves.
"that's why you left in a rush. i should've seen it," he mumbled.
"i'm sorry-"
"no. no. never apologize when you're with me..." he waited for her to finish it off.
"never apologize for living," she mumbled.
"don't forget that," he stated and held his hand out of her. "come on." she grabbed it and stood up. "don't be ashamed of relapsing alright. it happens a lot, just don't give up after you relapse."
she nodded, "thank you cor."
"of course shortcake. i'll always be here for you."
"that'll teach him," daniel finished off and was proud of what they did.
"you know, you are smart," diana stated.
"thanks," he nodded. "mess with a girl again," he walked over to ronny. "i dare you," he ripped off the tape from his forehead and under said pervert. the man let out a scream.
though estrella was twenty, the group had found out she wasn't the only one he was trying to get with. he had also talked to lillian and diana. and many other younger girls.
they also found out he was a thirty year old man who was an uber to bring the few people to the party. that was how he discovered the party.
