As soon as Saturday comes around I'm embarssed to say that I'm really nerveous for the party. There are a million what ifs that could happen and I am a big believer in what ifs, I could fall down the stairs and die, get alchohol poisoning and die, get beat up and die, or even get kidnapped and die. Since I already know when I'm going to die so death just seems more open to me. A shiver goes up my spine and then I dont feel scared anymore because either way I know I'm going to die.
No less than a minute later I get a call from Drew telling me she is going to meet me here so we can get ready for the party. In all honesty I don't even know what a real High School party is like, I have only seen the ones in the movies so all my judgement is from that. I wipe my palms on my sheets because I'm starting to sweat because of how nervous i am.
Drew walks into my room. "Ok party starts in one hour so we dont have a lot of time... what have you been doing all day?"
"Watching netflix," I say shyly.
"Thats what I thought now get your lazy ass out of bed so we can get you ready."
"Fine."
I groan and attempt to get myself out of bed falling on the floor as a result. Drew laughs so hard I see tears come down her face.
"Stop its not funny." I throw a pillow at her.
"Im sorry but it is kind of hilarious."
I roll out of my sheets on the floor and stand up. I walk over to the bathroom and turn on the floor heater. I walk over to the sink and brush my teeth like there is no tomorrow because god knows my breath is stale. I look towards Drew who is setting her makeup out on the counter and I am amazed by how much there is. She is almost like a makeup artist.
"you dont even wear a lot of make up to schoo."
"I know its just for special occasions."
I nod my head. There are somethings I just dont get and makeup is one of them, but the way Drew puts it on me leaves me amazed. I haven't felt this good in along time. I looked over at Drew and she smiles from ear to ear knowing how I feel too. I hug her because for once in my life, I have a best friend.
"You know how much I love this girl bonding stuff I have to do my own make up."
"Okay, I will leave you to it."
I watch her as she curls her hair slightly at the bottom and applies a natural amountof makeup to her face making her look breat taking, if I thought she could bea model know she could definetly be one before. She is gorgeous, so many girls would kill to look like her including me.
"So are you ready to get your party," she asks me.
"Yup." I say as we head downstairs.
We are driving toward Todd O'neil's house and it would be an understatement to say I am freaking out. My hands keep on sweating no matter how many times I wipe then on my dress and I can't stop shaking not because it's cold or anything I'm just so damn scared.
"Uh Kate are you okay?"
"No, I'm freaking out."
"Don't be, you look gorgeous. Nothing is going to go wrong I promise and besides your kick ass best friend will be here to protect you. With a friend like me nothing can go wrong." She says it so confidently so I believe her.
"Your right, you are absolutely right."
We walk into Todd's house and it is pretty big, but not as big as Parkers house. The smell of alcohol is everywhere and people are dancing and grinding on each other like animals. Drew picks up drinks for us and I immediately take a sip. To enjoy this place you definitely have to be drunk.
"You want to dance," Drew asks.
"Sure just give me a second."
She nods and I go to throw put my drink down when I lock eyes with Parker and my heart skips a beat. Why did my heart just skip a beat for Parker Adams. My face turns red, but I'm hoping the lack of light is hiding it. Obviously not enough because Parker laughed and turned back to his friends. God I'm such a dumb stupid girl snap out of it Kate.
I return to Drew who is eager to start dancing. She takes my hand and drags me toward all the movement. In the middle of the dance floor I was lost. Drew just let loose and have fun. I wasn't sure how to have, but I sure as hell wasn't going to let that stop me so I threw my head back a little laughed and then danced my ass off and in all honesty it was pretty fun. I did get really really sweaty but I didn't care this was the best time I ever had. Soon the alcohol started to kick in and that's when the real fun started. I went crazy doing dances I never even thought I knew, I was on fire. I found myself going back for more and more drinks until I was really drunk and let me tell you the party was a lot more fun.
After a while I had to pee so I let myself be excused and went up stairs to the restroom. It smelled like alcohol and vomit which disgusted me. I put some toilet paper on the seat because you know this is a random boys house and I didn't want to take any chances. As soon as I pulled up my dress to pee an unfamiliar face walked into the bathroom.
"Get out," I yelled at him.
"Little bitch I don't think you want to yell at me."
He yanked me off the toilet and started to take my dress off as I tried to fight him, but he was just to strong. My dress flew towards the tub and more people started to surround the bathroom door laughing at me as I tried to hide my body while two boys pinned me down. Another one slid my bra and panties off leaving me completely naked and crying on the bathroom floor as I curled myself into a ball in the corner.
Then out of no where I saw one familiar with a smile on it until he saw me and his smile disappeared. It was Parker and I thought he would do something yell at them beat them up but he just stood there like the rest of them. I got up and covered as much of my body as I could using a hand cloth, snatched the dress from some unknown person and said, "keep the undies." And walked right out in the nude and all.
Was I really this wrong about Parker. The whole time I thought he could be different, but I was just wrong. I wanted to cry, but I just didn't let myself. I wanted to be stronger, I wanted to fight harder. Drew came and wrapped her arms around me despite the fact I was naked and said, "Kate I'm so sorry they wouldn't let me go upstairs, let's just go home."
I nodded and a hand wrapped around my arm throwing me off guard.
"Kate I'm so sorry..." Parker say as he I look at him I realize we both are crying his knuckles split.
"Get off me," I push him away," I never want to talk to you again."
Then Drew and I left. I knew one thing. I never wanted to go back to another party again.
When I get to the house I say good bye to Drew and head straight to my bedroom, but before I fall asleep someone came into my room and I realize that it was Parker making sure I was ok. He muttered words that made me feel safe again and I believed him.
Parker{POV}
"Parker buddy you made it," Todd says to me.
"Yup I wouldn't miss it."
I walked over to the kitchen and grabbed a beer. I sat on the kitchen counter listening to the crappy music playing in the next room.
"Hey Parker."
I turn to see Josiah grabbing a beer from the fridge. "What's up."
"Nothing much. You look upset, you ok?"
Why was I upset. I guess I wasn't I could just not get my mind off of Kate. "Ya dude I'm fine let's go find Todd."
He nods and we walk into the living room where I see Kate and her friend. I don't know why but when I looked into her wide eyes my heart skipped a beat. Not because her dress was showing off her body in a revealing way, but because it was her. The fact that she was here was enough for my heart to skip a beat. Out of all the girls in the world by heart only beat for one girl and that was her, Katherine Hill owned my heart.
She blushed which made me laugh. Damn I could not stop thinking about her.
The guys were engaged in some conversation about which girl had the biggest boobs and somehow with out knowing Kate jumped onto the list and I said, "naw she is flat." I lied I knew her boobs were perfect, "take her off the list." Josiah looked at me suspicious and took her off the list.
I start to walk towards the bathroom when I see a crowd of people huddled by the door.
Todd looks over me and says, "dude you have to check this out."
I smile and make my way towards all the commotion and that's when I see her. Kate is sitting on the floor naked, my baby is sitting on the floor naked while tears are streaming down her face. She is trying to cover up, but there is nothing she can do she is completely exposed. I'm stunned stuck in place while I try to figure out who could have done this to such an innocent girl. Bye now people are hysterically laughing whipping out their phones to take a video of her poor little body shiver in fright.
I feel tears sting the back of my eyes and I'm trying as hard as I can to keep them in. I want to wrap her in my arms and tell her that it would be ok, but I just can't seem to move.
Her eyes pour into mine and she stares pat me in disgust. I can't speak, I can't move, I can't help her even if I want to and she just stares at me like I am the worst one here because I'm not helping her.
She stands up revealing her naked body although she tries to cover up using a hand towel and I notice how perfect it is she has the most perfect body I have ever seen. I didn't know she had a belly button piercing. She walks over to Todd who holds her dress and mumbles some thing like keep the undies. As she runs down stairs I walk over to Todd and punch him in the face repeatedly until his face is smeared with blood, but he deserved it.
I try to run down stairs to catch up with Kate and I wrap my hand around her arm.
"Kate I'm so sorry..."
She pushes me away from her and says, "get off me," tears are streaming down her face, "I never want to talk to you again."
He words stick in my heart like a bullet and they nearly kill me. I would do anything for this girl but I screwed up and I hate myself for it. Tears are sliding down my face as I watch her leave out the door with her head held high.
I walk back upstairs to find Todd in the same place as I left him he looked up at me and said, "what the hell was that for man."
"You were taking advantage of her."
"It wasn't me bro I was just watching."
"What? Who was it!"
"I think James. You know how he gets when he is drunk."
That asshole. I knew it couldn't be Todd he was too much of a good guy, but I also thought james was better than that. Wait till I beat the shit out of him he won't be taking advantage of girls anymore.
The ride home was unbearable I just couldn't get home fast enough to see if Kate was okay. I can't believe I stood there while she just got ridiculed like that, I'm such a dick.
I walk up stairs towards her room and open her door to find her sleeping. God I wish I was there for her. She needed me and I just let her down. I stood there as she sat on the floor naked.
I whispered things to her as I stood in her doorway. I said promises that I meant ones that I had never said before to anyone not even my own family.
I left her room not wanting to disturb her sleep and went to my own room and I sat on my bed. I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight.
