Chapter 12

"Hello?" I asked in a groggy voice. Who could be calling me this late?

"Hey Bella. Its Mike."

"Oh hey. What's up?" I asked trying to sound awake.

"Not much. Is your mom asleep yet?"

"Umm I'm not to sure. Why?"

"Well, I was wondering, have you ever snuck out of your house before?" He asked me, in a very rebellious tone.

"Honestly, no, what do you want me to?"

"First go see if your mom is asleep," He told me.

So I went into the living room. She wasn't in there. So I tip toed into her room, and she was sound asleep in her bed.

"Yeah she's asleep."

"Sweet. So do you want to then?"

"Well I've never done it so I don't really know how to," I told him honestly.

"Oh really? Well then I guess we need to change that. What don't you know?"

"What if she comes in to my room?" I asked worriedly.

"Stuff your bed with pillows. It's worked for me. Then just tip toe out the back door and make a run for it. You don't have an alarm do you?"

"No. I guess I can try it. What are you wanting to do?"

"There is this big party one of the guys from the team are throwing. There parents aren't home. It sounds like a lot of fun. Do you want to go?"

"Sure! That sounds awesome. When are you going to pick me up?"

"Be by the park at your house in an hour. I will be there. Call me before you leave though, I don't want you waiting at that park a long time by yourself," He explained.

"Okay. I'll call you soon. Thanks."

"Okay, bye Bella."

We hung up the phone then and I went into the bathroom to see myself in the mirror. I needed a lot of work to do if I wanted to be ready for a high school party soon. So I went to my room and started on picking out my clothes. Nothing looked right. But eventually I settled on this cute black skirt, and a blue tank top, with a half jacket over it. I searched through my closet looking for my heels, and eventually I found my blue ones that went perfectly with my shirt.

After that was over I went to the bathroom. I rushed my teeth and then started on my hair. I took a straightening iron to my already pretty straight hair. But I wanted to smooth out the little bit of curls I did have.

Eventually though, I was ready for my makeup. I kept it pretty subtle, but went more for the Stephanie look with the eye make up. I put a little red on my lips, a little blush, some foundation, my eye liner, my glittery blue eye shadow, and my mascara. Finally though I was ready to go.

I looked at my clock and saw that it was about time to call him. So I went into my room and stuffed pillows and blankets in my bed to make it look like I was sleeping in it. After I finished that, I quickly went downstairs and went to the back door.

I checked our security system and saw that it was disabled. So I pulled out my cell phone and called Mike.

"Hey," He answered.

"Hey, I'm at my backdoor. You want me to leave now?" I asked.

"Sure, I'm about at the park. Go ahead."

"Okay, see you soon. Bye."

"Bye."

So I went out the back door. And quietly shut it. I watched my house for and evidence that my mom or Ellie woke up. There wasn't. So I quickly walked out of the yard and into the road, making my way down to the park.

I could see why Mike didn't want me to walk alone down there. It was pretty spooky. So I just kept my pace fast and within a few minutes, I was at the park. Mike's car was already there, so I went ahead and hopped in his car.

"Hey you," He said.

"Hey."

"You look great. I've never seen you wear a skirt before. Or heels for that matter."

"Yeah I usually don't like to wear them, but tonight seemed like a good night to. So I did."

"Well I have to admit, I'm glad you did, it looks great."

"Thanks," I said. "So where is this party at?"

"You know Tyler? His house."

"Alright. I have no idea where that is though. So how big is the party?"

"It shouldn't be huge. The football players, and their girl's pretty much. We didn't want to risk getting the cops called on us or anything."

"Umm what about drinking and stuff? Is there going to be any of that do you think?" I asked him.

"Maybe, probably, but no one will pressure you to do anything, don't worry."

"Are you sure about that?" I asked.

"Yeah, and if anybody does. Just tell me, I'll make sure they don't try to do that again."

"Alright, thanks."

"You've never been to an actual party have you?"

"Sure I have."

"Were parents there?" He asked.

"Well no… but…"

"I didn't think so. Don't worry, you'll have fun. I'll be there with you the whole time.

"Thanks. So I take it you've been to a lot?"

"Yeah, defiantly, I've been known to be a party guy a lot. They are a lot of fun."

"Oh okay."

We started to run out of things to talk about. I started thinking, and I wondered if maybe it bothered me having such a party boyfriend. Well I would have to get over it because there was no way I could change him.

"Alright, well we're here," He told me.

And then I saw the house that we were at. Music blaring from the house, people hanging around outside, seeing people dancing inside through the windows.

"Wow…" Was all I could say.

"Yeah. Looks like this is going to be a good party." And with that he took my hand and led me inside. He took me into the kitchen and he grabbed a drink for himself. I saw what he had and I grimaced to myself, he had a beer.

"Do you want one?" He asked me.

"No thanks. I don't like drinking."

"Okay."

So we went into the front room, there were people playing beer pong, and others dancing, and some just on the couch making out.

"Do you want to dance?" He asked. I didn't see any harm in that.

"Sure," I told him.

So an upbeat song came on, one that I didn't know but I had heard it on the radio. We danced to that song, and then to another when he excused himself into the kitchen to get another drink.

I went with him this time, and saw some lemonade in a bottle and decided to go ahead and get some lemonade. I opened it and took a sip and found out it wasn't lemonade.

"Mike, what is this?" I asked him.

"I thought you weren't a drinker?" He asked.

"I'm not, I just wanted some lemonade. What's this?"

"That is lemonade, but it has some alcohol mixed in with it," He explained.

"How much alcohol?"

"Just a little bit, it shouldn't really do anything to you."

"Alright then. I guess just one of these can't be to bad then."

So I went ahead and drank some of it. It didn't taste to bad really, just a little off from regular lemonade. We went ahead back into the living room and I watched Mike play some beer pong. Eventually I ran out of my drink so I went to go get another one.

I rummaged around in the kitchen until I found something else. I didn't want more lemonade again, so this one looked like some kind of energy drink almost.

I went back into the living room and sat down drinking my drink while cheering Mike on. After he had enough of the game he came and sat down by me.

"What are you drinking?" He asked.

"Umm I'm not to sure what it is, but it taste's really good."

"You do know that has 9.0 percent alcohol right? That's going to mess you up."

"No actually I didn't know that. But I've already had half of it, and I feel fine, I should be okay."

"Alright if your sure Bella."

"So what time is it?" I asked him.

"Its almost 3. We still have another two hours or so before we need to get you home. After you finish your drink, go ahead and go get some water so you can be a bit sobered up when you get home."

So I tilted my head up and finished the last bit of drink I had.

"There, all finished," I told him.

"I didn't mean I wanted you to chug it, that's going to really mess you up," He said.

"Oh well. I'll just go get some water."

So I stood up and that's when I really felt it. I took a step and stumbled some. Mike looked at me worriedly.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, just a little drunk I guess."

"Here, let me help you." And he put his arm around me to make sure I wouldn't fall. I told him thank you but the words got slurred a little bit, and the room looked like it was spinning a bit.

"How long does this last?"

"It shouldn't last too long for you, you didn't have that much and you're going to drink a lot of water. So you should be good in a hour and a half or two hours. Something like that."

"Oh okay." And then I just realized something. "How long does alcohol stay in your system?" I asked.

"About a week or so. Why?"

"Umm, because I have to go to the doctor tomorrow, and they need to draw some of my blood I'm pretty sure."

"Oh crap, umm I'm not sure what to tell you. Drink a lot of water, maybe you can get it all out."

"Alright, I'll try."

So that's how my first party ended up going. Me getting drunk by accident, and then freaking out. I can't even count how many times I ended up having to go to the bathroom, after all the water that I ended up drinking.

After a couple of hours though, we decided it was time to bring me home and for him to go home too.

We got in the car and it was silent for the ride home to my house. He pulled up to the park and leaned over to give me a kiss good bye. I smiled and gave him a kiss too, and then he tried to deepen it, but I pulled away, not wanting that while I was drunk.

So I quietly walked into the back door and went into the bathroom. I took all my make up off, and jumped in the shower. When I stepped out of the shower I looked over in the mirror and realized I would be needing some foundation to make it look like I got some sleep. So I went ahead and put that on.

After I finished that I went in my room and put my pajamas on. I looked at the time and saw that it was only 5:30 so I went to go lay down so I could get at least a few hours of sleep, after all, hour appointment wasn't until 2.

I laid down, probably only for a few minutes before I drifted off to sleep.

Ellie came in at about noon to wake up.

"Come on Bella, you've been sleeping all day, you need to go get ready for the doctor."

I opened my eyes and regretted it. The light was so bright and I had a splitting headache.

"Ugh," I moaned. My voices sounded cracked.

"Are you okay?" Ellie asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, throat ache, and my head hurts. Will you go get my some Motrin?"

"Sure, be right back."

So she disappeared into the hall bathroom and came back with a bottle of pills.

"These are the right ones right?"

"Yeah, thanks El, so what time are we leaving?"

"At about 1:30. You don't think they will give us a shot right?"

"Not a shot, they might have to draw blood, or it could be as easy as a piece of hair, I really don't know. I've never had to do this before."

"Will it hurt?" She asked.

"If they have to draw blood it will probably sting a little bit, but no that doesn't really hurt."

"Okay good. Well you should probably go get ready, you look so tired."

"Yeah, I'm going to go do that, I'll see you later Ellie."

Ellie left my room then and I went and looked in the mirror. My hair had some curl in it from me sleeping in it while it was wet, and my eyes looked sort of red like I hadn't slept, but besides that I looked well enough.

I walked downstairs to go get my breakfast. After I had poured my cereal and eaten it I looked at the time. It was about time to go.

"Are you ready?" My mom asked.

"Sure!" I yelled back, but instantly regretted it, feeling the throbbing head ache.

We walked out to the car and I got in the front seat and Ellie in the back. I leaned my head against the window closing my eyes trying to block out the sun until we finally pulled up to the hospital.

We ended up not having to wait in the waiting room, since the doctor's office was pretty empty today. So we walked in and Ellie and I took a seat waiting for the doctor to come in.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Davids. Are you to ready to see if your sisters or not?" He asked.

"Umm how do you do that?" Ellie asked nervously.

"Its quite simple, we take a little sample of your blood, and we go look at the DNA. It doesn't hurt, its nothing like getting a shot," He explained.

"Well… Okay."

This wasn't good for me. I'm sure I still had plenty of the alcohol in my system, but there wasn't anything I could do to change it.

He went into the drawer and got out a needle, and some sterilizing cloths.

"Alright this might sting, how about you go first Isabella to show Ellie that it doesn't hurt."

So I stuck out my arm and he wiped it clean. He poked the needle in my arm and I didn't even flinch as he started taking blood.

"Doesn't that hurt?" Ellie asked, fear evident in her eyes.

"Not if you don't think about it, if you think about something else."

"What are you thinking about?" Ellie asked.

"Lots of stuff, mostly about school and my friends. But you can think about books and movies too. That can get your mind off of it. Just be brave."

She worked up the courage and she went to go sit on the chair that I just got off of. She closed her eyes and started crying just a little bit when he stuck her with the needle.

"Count to twenty slowly and it should be over by fifteen," The doctor told her.

I could see her counting, and I became more worried about getting caught as he took the needle from her arm and took our tests back there.

We sat there waiting in silence, lost in our own thought for the next fifteen to twenty minutes. Finally the doctor came back.

"Well you two, looks like you guys are only half sisters," He told us smiling. "Mrs. Swan, may I see you for a minute?"

I started worrying, I knew what this was about. So I sat there for the next few minutes freaking out. Finally she came back, not looking happy at all.

"Come on you two, its time to go home now."

So we walked back out to the car, both of us knowing to stay quiet, we could tell something was wrong with our mom. The car ride home was brutal, the silence eerie, and especially scary for me knowing how much trouble I would be in when we got home.
