Hi guys, I know I haven't finished my other story yet, but I am busy writing the next chapter. I just had to start writing this story. There's a lot going on in my life and I had to get if off my chest, and this is a great way to do so. I hope you'll enjoy!
Chapter 1
It was a beautiful day in Rosewood. Emily Fields was at a barbecue organized by her cousins. The barbecue, and thus drinking, had started at noon. It was now 3 pm and she was drunk. She had gone for a run that morning and came to the barbecue without having eaten anything. Nonetheless, she didn't refuse the mojito she was offered when she arrived. Even though she only had 3 or 4 mojitos since, she had not felt this drunk in a while. The drinks were quite strong, and this in combination with an almost empty stomach wasn't working out for her. She left the buzzing epicenter of the party and went to a calmer area of the garden, not noticing someone was following her. She sat down on a swing chair. Everything around her was turning and the only way she didn't feel nauseous was by looking at her feet. Why did I let it come this far, she thought to herself. She hated this feeling and was scared of being sick.
'Hey, are you okay?' she heard a familiar voice behind her. She looked up, but immediately felt the nausea coming back and had to look down again. 'I'm.. I'm okay, sorry I need to look at my feet or I'll be sick' she said. Noah sat down next to her and tried to comfort her by softly stroking her back. 'You'll be okay, just try and breathe in and out slowly' he said. Emily had known Noah for ages; he was the best friend of her cousin Jake. She knew he liked her, but he was too shy to take the first step. They sat like that for a while, until Emily had sobered up a bit and could take her eyes of her feet. 'Thanks for sitting with me', she looked him in the eyes. 'It was my pleasure' he smiled at her, and pulled her closer. Emily didn't really resist, as she was still very tipsy. 'So you think I'm the most handsome guy at this party?' Noah asked after a while. Emily chuckled, 'it's just a game Noah, but yeah you're a good looking guy'. They had played a drinking game before, and Emily had to give out 4 sips to the most handsome guy at the party. She had chosen Noah, as it would've been weird to choose one of her cousins, and she didn't really know the other guys. 'Mmm sure' Noah winked at her. She had never seen him this courageous, it was probably the alcohol that made him braver than he'd ever been with Emily. He had even put his arm around her. Emily gave him a shy smile and before she knew it his lips were on hers. Although she didn't really mind him kissing her, she didn't really enjoy it either. She had been confused about her sexuality for quite a while, and was worried that she'd never find out whether she liked boys, girls or both. After the kiss ended, they awkwardly sat at the swing chair for a while. 'Shall we go back to the others?' Emily asked after a few minutes, 'I feel a lot better now'. 'Erm, yeah, sure' Noah, while standing up.
Back at the party Emily and Noah went their own separate ways. Emily was hungry and sat down at the picnic table to eat. After a few minutes her cousin Lauren joined her. 'I saw you coming back with Noah, did something happen?' she asked with a smirk on her face. Emily felt her face reddening and looked down at her plate. 'OMG Em! Tell me! How far did…' 'Sssh! Lauren! Not everyone has to know! We just kissed, okay' Emily looked around to make sure no one had heard them. 'Mm just kissed huh? I bet you'll do much more than kissing before the end of this party!' Lauren teased her. 'What? No! I don't like him like that' Emily said, Lauren made her feel uncomfortable. She was so open about this kind of stuff and she had so much experience, it made her feel like a 12 year old. 'Ah come on Em, I know you think he's good looking, and he hasn't kept his eyes off of you ever since he arrived. He likes you. Just give it a chance, be spontaneous, have a bit of fun' she tried to convince her cousin. Emily was a pretty girl, hell she was probably the most beautiful girl Lauren had ever seen, but she had to come out of her shell. Lauren knew Emily and her friends had had a hard time being stalked and abused by a psycho, but that was over now and Emily deserved to have a good time. She was almost 20 now and her teenage years had been horrible due to A. It was time for a change. 'Come on Em. You can stay in the cabin tonight. Just give it a go' Lauren smiled at her cousin, who knew that she meant good. 'Erm, yeah okay, I'll see where it goes' Emily said, still not sure whether she wanted to do anything with Noah. 'Good girl! I'll make sure it will work out, don't worry about it!' Lauren didn't know about Emily's doubts about her sexuality. No one really knew, except for her best friends. 'Oh, okay, erm, thanks Lauren' Emily gave her cousin a weak smile, she didn't have a good feeling about this…
