******************************

The music was loud, a bonfire lighting up the night sky. Some were in the water, some kissing in the shadows. You were looking around. For me. You saw me and smiled. You walked up to me, and suddenly looked uncomfortable. "Hey...ha, I feel bad for not introducing myself earlier. I'm Draco, but my friends call me Dray."

I smiled weakly. "I'm Tia, and my friends call me...err....Tia."

You laughed softly before holding out your hand. "Come on."

I carefully took your hand, your skin warm on mine. We were offered drinks- you took yours, handing me mine. I hesitantly took it, watching you as you raised yours to your lips, drinking some. I looked down at mine. I wasn't know for drinking, but I did anyway.

Wrong move.

((One drink too many.))

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

Your lips were warm on mine, the smell of alcohol lingering. Your fingertips caressed my skin, sending chills through me. You laid me across your bed, kissing me. In my drunken state, I was less then hesitant. You pulled your shirt off, kissing me again. You then pulled my shirt off, untying my bikini top and letting it fall from your grip, onto the floor. You kissed me again, and I drowned in your touch, reaching blindly for the top of your shorts.

((You made me a woman.))

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

I awoke, in your arms, my head pounding. You lay sleeping beside me, and I gently slid out from under your arm, slipping into my clothes, and out the door. Feeling horrible, I drove back home, parking my car and going inside the quiet house, dropping onto my bed, my car keys hitting the floor with a a jingle and a smack. I heard a car approaching, and didn't even open my eyes. The front door opened and slammed, and soon Lanell walked into the room, also plopping down onto her bed, which was across from mine. I looked over, curious. "Lanell, are you just getting in?" She looked over at me and nodded, yawning. I sat up. "Where were you all night?"

"Out."

"Out where?"

"With Chris."

I was getting angry. "Lanell, I told you not to go out with him anymore. I don't trust that kid."

"You aren't my mother."

"Oh, well, if you keep going out with him you're going to end up BEING a mother."

Lanell glared at me. "Stay out of my buisness. How do you know I'm having sex with him?"

I maintained my cool. "I can tell."

"Oh, yeah, well where were YOU last night, Tia?" Lanell said dangerously.

"Out."

Lanell looked satisfied. "With Dray Malfoy, I bet."

"How would you know?"

"I was at Pier Six, too."

"Lanell! How- you're only 14!"

"Well, you're only 17 and he's only 18 so it gives you no right to be drinking, either!"

I glared back at her. "Whatever you saw you keep to yourself."

She kept on glaring. "I saw you go home with him."

I swallowed. "So, keep it to yourself, and I won't tell Darana that you were at Pier Six last night."

"Tell her if you want. At least I don't have to live with being a slut."

She knew more then she was telling me.

((I was no longer a virgin.))

_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

The phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Tia? Hey, it's Dray."

My breath caught in my throat. "Um..hey."

"So..uhh...I wanted to talk to you about...err..."

"Last night?"

"Um...yeah. Listen, I'm sor-"

"Don't be sorry."

"Well I am."

"Don't. It was my decision to do it, too."

"We were both drunk. Let's just forget about it."

I swallowed. "Okay."

((How can I forget?))
