Camila's PoV
I usually knew my limit. Most parties were held before a game the next morning so I knew how much to drink. I don't think that night at the party was one of those times.
Lauren and I were having a really good time with the crowd we were hanging out in. Kyla was even having fun even though she really was the only person not drinking. No one questioned her, which I think she was thankful for.
It was well past one in the morning and even though quite a few people left, the place still seemed to be pretty alive.
"I'll be right back!" Lauren cooed in my ear as she made her way towards the kitchen. My head was swirling but it was a good swirl. I felt like I had no cares in the world. Granted, it was the alcohol talking, but it felt good anyway.
"I think I'm going to head home," Kyla said from the other side of me. She looked tired.
"Okay, let me walk you to your car." I helped her up and waited as she grabbed her coat. She insisted that I stay in the house since the weather dropped. "Are you sure you're going to be okay?"
"Yes mom." Kyla smiled softly and looked towards the darkened street. "You and Lauren don't get into trouble kay? I know you when you're drinking. You can get pretty careless." I raised my eyebrow at her as she laughed. "I'm just saying Mila, a lot of secrets are at stake here, just, be careful." She gave me a hug and told me she'd call me tomorrow.
I turned around and was making my way towards the DJ that Brent had hired for the night. Just as I made it to the booth, I bumped into someone and the next thing I knew, I was wearing their drink. "What the fuck." I wiped off the liquid and snapped my eyes up to meet the intruder. "You've got be kidding me!" I half yelled and pushed past her.
"Hey, where you goin'?" Normani rushed to step in front of me. Her grey eyes looked over my face carefully and a smile formed on her face. "I didn't dent that beautiful face of yours, that's good."
I frowned and shook my head. "Why can't you take a hint, Kordei. I. Don't. Like. You." I tried to brush past her again but she gently placed her hand on my shoulder, keeping me still. I felt a little wobbly so I let her keep me standing.
"Really Cabello, I'm just wanting to apologize for that day at Johnny's. I never meant to hit you." Sure, her voice sounded sincere and she looked sincere but I had to laugh.
"Fuck you Normani," I hissed, finally shrugging her hand off my shoulder, "you may not have meant to hit me, but you were about to hit my girlfriend!"
Normani raised an eyebrow. "Finally admitting it? That she's your girlfriend?"
"Don't even start that shit, okay?" I eyed her up with a fury and pictured decking her right there but held back. "You really want me to like you?" My face was inches from hers. "Leave me alone."
That was when I felt her cup my face. Normani had her hands on my face. Her grubby hands were on my fucking face. Oh God she was moving closer and I couldn't move.
I really couldn't move because my arms were being held behind my back.
What the fuck.
"Mendes!" Normani jumped back and I twisted my head over as far as I could to see that fucking pussy holding my arms behind my back. "Let go of her!"
"Kiss her Normani, isn't that what you wanted all along? Now's the chance." Mendes laughed.
"Get the fuck off me!" I struggled and almost freed my arms but then he gripped tighter. I even tried to stomp on his feet but that didn't work either. Some guys tried to pull him off but he stayed where he was.
"Mendes, let go of her. Don't be a fucking ass." Normani looked over my shoulder and I could see concern in her eyes. "I mean it."
Mendes laughed louder and finally let go of me, pushing me forwards. I stumbled and collided into Normani, falling flat on the floor with me on top of her. The wind was momentarily knocked out of me and I could barely move.
"What is going on?" Lauren appeared, a frown deepening on her forehead. She looked down at us and I struggled to get up.
I didn't answer Lauren. I turned around and fucking wiped that cocky smirk off Mendes's face with a fist to the jaw. I kneed him in the groin hard and shoved him against the wall, bunching his collar in my fist as he whimpered from where I had clocked him a good one. "Don't you ever fucking pull that stunt again on me," I hissed and shoved him again, causing him to groan in pain, "you fucking watch your back Mendes, I'll have you off the team in no time. That is a promise."
I let go of him and turned around, wavering as I did so. Lauren rushed up to me and wrapped her arm around my side. "And fuck you too, Kordei," I flipped the bird at her and then glanced at Lauren, "can we go now?"
Lauren nodded with a frown and threw the cups of beer at Normani, causing the liquid to splash her own shirt. "Have a good night," she said in a sarcastic voice.

Sofia's PoV
"Cami'la?" I groaned as my head hit the softness of the pillow and a cool washcloth was placed oh my forehead.
"No," came a soft whisper. I opened my eyes and found crystal blue staring back at me. "Hey."
"Sam?" I tried to sit up but the throbbing pain coursed through my head and I groaned. "What the hell is loose in my head?"
"A killer headache." Sam chuckled softly and pressed the cloth to my face a little more, while pulling up the covers with her free hand. "You should try and sleep, Sofi."
I swallowed. "Hey," I frowned in concerned and placed a hand on her delicate one that was resting above my heart, "what time is it?"
Sammy's eyes looked at the clock beside the bed. "Six."
"In the morning?!" I hissed and tried to sit up but she pushed my shoulders back down. "Sam, you should be at home, in bed, sleeping."
A smile formed on her lips as she slipped under the blankets, with me. "I am in bed, at home."
I looked at her confused before I really took in my surroundings and noticed we were in her room. "But your parents, they're going to be mad that I'm here and you have to work."
"I got a voicemail saying my shift was cancelled. I didn't know if Camila and Lauren were going back to your place, so I had decided to bring you back here and take care of you." She whispered, brushing a few strands away from my forehead. Her blue eyes hit my brown ones and I couldn't help but feel relaxed.
"You took care of me?" I whispered, tracing her cheekbone with my fingers and smiled as she nodded almost shyly. "Thank you."
Sam shrugged with a blush and settled down next to me. We've fallen asleep like that before so it wasn't anything new, yet it was at the same time. I felt her lips brush against my neck softly before pulling back. "Get some sleep, Sofi, I'm not going anywhere."
I bit my lip and nodded as she shifted and wrapped her arm around my waist, pulling me closer. Her forehead pressed against the back of my neck as my fingers entwined with hers. "Sam?" I whispered, just barely.
"Hmm?" She hummed against my skin.
"I'm going to be feeling this really bad later in the morning, aren't I?"
She chuckled softly and squeezed my fingers. "I'll help you through it."
I nodded and closed my eyes, feeling as if the room was moving. I pulled Sam closer and heard her sigh. "Go out with me tomorrow night." She spoke softly.
I smiled, my eyes closed tightly. "I thought we were already girlfriends." I rolled onto my back and she moved to hover over me slightly, smiling shyly again.
"Yes, but I meant, you know, on a date." Sam ducked her head and peeked at me through her brown hair.
"Oh God, Sam, I'm like, drunk and you're asking me out?" I widened my eyes but smiled playfully.
"Is that a yes?" She quirked an eyebrow, her blue eyes dancing in the dark.
I nodded silently, my own smile.
"At least I'm not taking advantage of you," she smirked and brought her lips inches from mine, her eyes flickering to mine.
"I don't think that's possible." I cupped the back of her neck and sighed as we met in a slow kiss. "You've got yourself a date," I whispered against her lips.
"Now, rest." She pressed her lips to my forehead and we went back to our previous position.
I closed my eyes and sighed. I was going to wake up with one hell of a headache, but somehow I didn't care.
I was looking forward to the night that would follow.
I wasn't looking forward to the blow up that happened the following day.
I don't think anyone could be prepared for that.
