Parties in White Bridge wasn´t very common due to the town being peaceful so it was pretty hectic down by Micah´s house to celebrate the devils win. My anxiety rise like a bad feeling had hovered over me I knew I should´ve minded it but I couldn´t ruin this for Caleb and the rest. Putting the thought in the back of my mind was the best I can do to not ruin the party.

Micah - ¨Ladies, Ladies welcome to the best freaking party in White bridge, We got booze, pot, so go nuts¨

Keith - ¨Hell Yeah!!!!

Reese - ¨Now that is what I´m talking about¨

Bailey -¨Lets go party guys¨

Micah -¨Ivy¨

¨Micah¨

Micah - ¨I´m gonna let you two love birds have a moment, Caleb I´ll catch you inside¨

Caleb -¨Yeah¨

Caleb - ¨Hey, whats wrong¨

¨Something doesn´t feel right like bad¨

Caleb - ¨Hey its just your anxiety, you haven´t been to a party in a while everything´s fine just have fun, okay?

Caleb - ¨Hey...there´s nothing to worry about, I promise, now should we go¨

¨Yeah, lets go¨

The sound of the loud music and the huge crowd was overwhelming but I could bare it. People greeting me from left to right made me feel more welcomed instead of separated. I came to my conclusion and calmed myself believing that everything was absolutely fine. I didn´t know I was gonna be this loose.

¨CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG YEAHHHHH!¨

Bailey - ¨Ivy we´ve been looking for you there´s a freaking shot table and me, Reese and Sarah were about to get crazy wasted in 15 minutes come on your gonna miss all the fun¨

Ivy - ¨Okay, Okay¨

Sarah - ¨Booyah my 5th shot¨

Bailey - ¨No way you started without me that´s cheating¨

Reese - ¨Ivy you have to try this¨

¨ I don´t know I might have to be the one driving back home

Reese - ¨You only live once so live a little, here, I want to say this is tequila¨

Ivy -¨Wanna say? wow¨

Bailey - ¨Come on Ivy¨

Sarah - ¨Live a little sis¨

Nadia - HEY EVERYONE IVY IS GOING TO TAKE A SHOT FOR THE TEAM LETS GET HER GOING, DRANK IT UP! DRANK IT UP!

DRANK IT UP! DRANK IT UP! DRANK IT UP!

Bailey -¨ DRANK IT UP!!!

Reese - ¨DRANK IT UP¨

Sarah ¨ DRANK IT UP!!!

Keith - DRANK IT UP!

¨Fine what the hell¨

WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO

(Claps)

The burning in the back of my throat rasped my voice, the loud noise of claps cheering me on heightened my hearing. It all felt unnatural just by one drink.

Micah - ¨Wow (Claps) you finally got to live a little¨

Ivy - ¨Wheres the bathroom douche bag ¨

Micah - ¨Upstairs down the hall to the left, don´t mess up anything my parents will kill me¨

¨Yeah, whatever¨

Bailey - ¨Hey baby¨

Micah - ¨God, look at you a freaking mess, you just got here and you look like a waste¨

Bailey -¨Oh come on, live a little I´m just having fun¨

Micah -¨Yeah whatever, go upstairs and get cleaned up, your embarrassing me¨

Bailey - ¨I´m sorry¨

Micah - ¨Yeah sorry is not gonna cut it¨

Bailey - ¨Wow (Laugh) fine

As much as Bailey acted like she didn´t care she hurt inside. The alcohol just kept her from reacting to it all. All she wanted was for someone to love her but Micah didn´t seem to show her that affection back, she drained herself in fantasy instead of viewing that reality. I don´t blame her though, there´s only one way to get rid of those feelings and that´s to drink yourself away.

Micah -¨Hey, wanna go upstairs¨

Sarah - ¨You jerk do you not see us at a public place, Bailey´s here you jagoff¨

Micah - ¨What? she´s not gonna know in about 15 I bet she´ll be passed out on the couch, just come on lets have a little fun¨

Sarah - ¨As much as I want to I´m not that type of friend, not while she´s here¨

Micah - ¨What kind of friend sleeps with her friends boyfriend¨

Sarah -¨I guess I´m not a friend, am I¨

Micah - (Nods)

Sarah - ¨Fine 15 minutes and than we come back down¨

Micah - ¨I always win¨

Sarah -¨Don´t get to conceited I can end this¨

Micah - ¨But you don´t¨

Ivy - ¨Wheres the bathroom¨

Girl 1: ¨Down the corner¨

Ivy - ¨Thanks¨

Looking inside that mirror was definitely that old girl I was trying to avoid. The one that didn´t care and she drunk her life away, I tried to run from her. I tried to bury her deep inside my body but I just couldn´t. This was me, not no girl that had limits, I was Bailey. It hurt to wipe your pain away when you stare at a reflection of yourself in the mirror It hurt to see yourself breaking but it didn´t hurt to know the true you.

¨Your gonna be fine, everything is fine. okay lets go¨

Jesse - ¨Woah, watch where your going hot stuff¨

¨You were standing in front of the door, don´t blame me, creep¨

Jesse - ¨A guy has to use the bathroom and all of a sudden he´s a creep¨

¨You could have knocked¨

Jesse -¨Touche, but I didn´t¨

¨Disgusting¨

Jesse - Hey, wait my bad okay, i should´ve knocked, the names Jesse¨

¨I know who you are, I´m dating your brother¨

Jesse -¨I know that also, but it couldn´t hurt to introduce yourself even if someone knows you¨

¨Touche¨

Jesse -¨(Laugh)

¨I´m Ivy, Ivy Thorn¨

Jesse -¨Nice to meet you Ivy Thorn, wheres my brother¨

¨Honestly, I haven´t seen him since I walked through the door¨

Jesse -¨That is Caleb, he can wonder off, can I get you a drink¨

¨Yeah sure the only drink I had while being here was a tequila shot, I think¨

Jesse - ¨You think?

¨It´s been pretty crazy¨

Jesse - ¨I bet, any suggestions?¨

¨Booze¨

Jesse -¨Party girl huh, booze coming right up¨

(Giggles)

Anthony -¨Hey dude wheres your girl¨

Caleb - ¨Actually, I haven´t seen her since we got in, I should call her¨

Reese -¨CALEB!!! hey Caleb¨

Caleb - ¨Sup Reese¨

Reese -¨What are you guys doing out here¨

Caleb -¨Just smoking a joint¨

Reese -¨Gimme some of that¨

Anthony -¨I don´t think so princess you already look wasted¨

Reese -¨Who are you to tell me what I can´t have, let me hit it¨

Caleb -¨Okay, its your bed¨

Reese -¨(Coughs)

Anthony -¨ Woah princess, take it easy might hurt yourself¨

Reese -¨Shut up a**h***, so Caleb wheres Ivy¨

Caleb -¨ I don´t know probably somewhere isolated from everyone, I trust her¨

Reese -¨Do you really, when are you gonna start realizing that she isn´t the one for you and there´s so much fish in the sea¨

Anthony -¨I´m gonna go inside¨

Caleb -¨ Yeah¨

Caleb - ¨Okay Reese, your officially wasted, you have no clue what your saying¨

Reese -¨I know I´m drunk but I know what I´m saying and you do to. Ivy sucks and without us there would have been no her¨

Caleb -¨Okay, that´s enough get off of me¨

Reese -¨I am tired of you pretending Caleb¨

Caleb -¨Pretending what¨

Reese -¨ Oh, do I have to refresh your memory (Laughs) you remember Caleb, what happened between us at the dance, you cheated on Ivy¨

Caleb -¨You SHUT UP!!!

Reese -¨No I will not shut up because you make it seem like Ivy is the best thing that ever happened to you but its really guilt right, you don´t love her¨

Caleb -¨I do love her that´s why I chose her¨

Reese -¨But that night you chose me or multiple nights you chose me but I don´t know why you stopped. Is it because the crash, you felt sympathy for her, I remember when she was in the hospital you had so much sympathy for her you wanted a little distraction¨

Reese -¨I´m so glad I turned you down because if I didn´t I would have felt guilt¨

Caleb -¨Your life is mentally messed up both you and Bailey refuse to look in reality, why in the hell would I ever wanna be with you when you are ugly and vile, I love Ivy and no matter the mistakes I did I will still love her your just upset because your used and ran through no one will ever love a selfish skank like you¨.

Caleb -¨Now if you don´t mind, I have a girlfriend to go look for¨

Jesse - ¨Booze at you service¨

¨Wow, thank you¨

Jesse -¨Cheers?

¨Cheers I guess¨

¨Oh wow, I didn´t have booze in a while this burns¨

Jesse -¨Yeah it does, hey, wanna go to some place quiet¨

¨Umm I don´t know¨

Jesse -¨ I know what your thinking but I´m not talking about anything sexual, just to talk¨

¨Yeah I guess, sure¨

Jesse -¨Okay¨

Sarah -¨Wait, this is wrong¨

Micah -¨Whats wrong? the doors locked¨

Sarah -¨No, this is wrong, us. this doesn´t feel right¨

Micah -¨What do you mean I thought---

(Glass Breaking)

Micah -¨What the hell was that¨
