Mentions of drugs use and drinking
"Come on y/n! It will be fun don't be such a pussy!" My friend was currently trying to convince me to go to a party, the party scenes have never been my thing. I'm a huge introvert and don't do well in social situations.
"Just one time for fuck sake y/n." Sophie scoffed, "fine.." I mumble knowing I was going to regret this. It often went like this; Sophie making me do something I don't want to do. Then again, I don't help myself because I can't say no. I'm a people pleaser.
"Fucking finally." She rolled her eyes as we walked away from hell, otherwise known as school.
She dragged me to her house and immediately began rummaging through her wardrobe for clothes. She throws a piece of black clothing at me, "put this on and I'm not arguing with you. You'll look good in it I promise, you're always hiding under those fucking hoodies." I nod and walk into the bathroom.
I sighed softly looking at the black mini dress and changed into it. It fit perfectly but I felt extremely uncomfortable, it was tight and showed my body in ways I didn't want to. It hugged my stomach and I just wishing to be able to put my hoodie on once again. "y/n! Come on we're going to be late!" I hear her yell making me put my shoes back on and walk out of the bathroom.
"I'm ready." I mumbled, wrapping my arms around my waist trying to cover up my body a little more than this dress was doing. I followed behind Sophie with my head cast down like always and my eyes trained on the ground.
We soon arrived at this huge party which was bigger than I had expected it to be, "soph.. I don't think I can do this. I think I want to go home.." I tell her before we could even make it into the house.
"Stop being a baby." She grabbed my hand and pulled me inside harshly, I gasped trying to catch my footing at the sudden pull which thankfully, I did. That would have been embarrassing..
She dragged me into the back garden where a few people sat around in a circle with a mini table in the middle, she ushered us both into the circle. I felt my face pale as one of them pulled out a small bag of white powder. Now, of course I knew what it was but that didn't mean I was comfortable around it.
I watched as the boy rolled up a note and held it over the line he has just made, he snorted the line within a second and gasped after he had done it. The rush hitting him fast.
I knew for sure I didn't want to stick around for the aftermath. I stood up and pulled Sophie up with me, "you didn't tell me you did cocaine!" I yell at her, shocking myself with how loudly I spoke.
"Seriously y/n, what the fuck is your problem? It's a teenage party, there's going to be drugs. Suck it up and just do a line and you'll feel a lot better." Her tone changed throughout her sentence and it made me feel sick.
"I'm not doing drugs and you're making me feel unsafe and anxious!" I defended myself. Why? I felt the need to or I knew I would fall deep into the rabbit hole of peer pressure.
"How can you say that?! You came here!" She yelled back just as loud, I scoffed and ran back out the front of the house, holding back the tears that threatened to fall.
I pulled out my phone calling the only person I knew would come and pick me up.
"Hey y/n! I don't have much time since I'm signing a shit ton of stuff-" my sniffles alone cut him off. "What's wrong? Where are you?" Chris asked, alarmed.
"I don't feel safe.. please come and get me out of here."
I hear him ready for his car keys before I can finish was I was going to say, "tell me where you are." His tone was gentle like always but had a hint of roughness; adrenaline like roughness..
He was rushing for me.
"Some party. Don't speed you'll crash the car-" I told him the address but was more worried about him speeding.
"I don't care, you're the most important thing. I'm not far off just sit tight Angel." I sat on the curb outside of the house. Behind me in the garden, people passed out drunk, high or possible dead but if I began to think like that I'd only send myself into a spiral of panic.
"I'm almost there.. hold on kiddo." He said, I hear a car pull up and Chris jumps out of the car. I stand up from my seat on the grass and he picks me up, hugging me tightly. My feet dangled above the floor but I felt safe now.. I knew nothing would happen with him around.
"Come on let's get you out of here." He sighed and carried me to the car, he set me in the front seat and leaned over to buckle my seat belt. As he stood to his full height he pecked my nose softly, I giggle and smile softly at him.
"Come on little Cerulli." He goes around the car and soon enough we get to the storage unit Chris had mentioned yesterday.
"The guys have missed you so expect lots of attention from them." I couldn't help but laugh and shake my head before climbing out of the car and walking inside with him.
"Little Cerulli!" They cheered, they definitely knew how to cheer me up. "You're the only person I've seen make the old man run so fast." Ricky laughs pointing at chris.
"Hey, I'm not old!" He went back to signing the album covers while me and Logan caused chaos like we always do. "Y/n! Stop climbing things! Logan stop helping them!" We hear Chris yell making us go still before giggling and high giving.
