-YESTERDAY-
Chapter 3
by Ellie

My breath started going shaky again. I wasn't used to not being in control, and not knowing what was going on.

But Ray sat there, buried his face in his hands, and continued to look down. "Why did I drag you to this party?" He repeated, solemnly. "I thought we'd have a good time."

Thought we'd have a good time. I couldn't control the mock laugh that came out of my throat, "Yeah, Ray! Real good time. Last night was a complete blast. Let's do it again sometime!"

Let's do it again, sometime. Even being sarcastic, that didn't sound like me. I hate this, I hate this, I hate this...

"Don't do that, Lil."

"Don't do what?" I looked over; he was still looking down. I suppose I wouldn't be acting very well either if I had just woken up like he did. But if he thinks my head doesn't hurt too...

"This, you're making everything about you."

My voice got really quiet. "I'm not making everything about me."

"Then why are you saying that this is all my fault?" He finally looked up, but he looked.... he didn't look happy, or sad. Just kind of... void of emotion.

"Because it wasn't my idea to come here."

"You didn't have to come!" He shot back.

"I didn't want to drink-"

"And you didn't have to drink, Lily!" He shook his head, and before I could reply, continued. "Do you think blaming me's gonna turn back time? All of a sudden you realize whose fault everything is and then everything goes back to normal? This isn't Clue, Lil, this is fucking LIFE."

"But still," I started, trying to brush off the fact that Ray had just yelled at me. He'd never done that, and my voice was shakier than before. "We've known about past parties that Audrey's had... why this one? Why now?"

He paused. "Because I just wanted to go out and do something that we weren't supposed to do."

I started fidgeting with my fingers again. "What do you mean?"

He paused. "My dad... he always has these stories, you know? From when he was our age... and he got into so much trouble, and his stories are so fun." He looked almost nervous while he was talking. "And I don't have any stories. I mean, we don't do enough to have stories, and I just thought if me and you went out more often, maybe I'd have something worthy to tell my grandkids someday..."

I let out another mock laugh. "Yeah, great story, Ray! 'Hey kids, gather around, I'll tell you about the time I was 15 and got wasted and woke up half-naked to my best friend who was also half-naked, and we don't remem-'"

"Knock it off, Lily!"

I just stared right at him. "How can I just knock it off, Ray? Odds are I had sex with you last night, do you not realize that's a big deal for me? That's a HUGE deal! Ray, I was a virgin-"

"Yeah, like you were the only virgin in the room last night? You keep making this all about you, why are you doing that? It's like I don't have any feelings involved this whatsoever-"

"STOP IT!"

We both became quiet, and I actually felt the tears well up in my eyes. Don't cry in front of him, don't cry in front of him, don't cry in front of him...

I took a deep breath in, and a shaky one came out. "Ray, what's going to happen to us? I mean, like... if we did... like... would we have thought to use anything? What if... what if I'm pregnant... or what if I have something..."

"Don't..." He started, looking up at me. "Don't think about that, just don't..."

I paused. "Why don't we try to piece together what happened? ...See what we remember?"

"Ok..." He glanced at the door. "Think you could grab me a blanket? It's freezing and I... I really don't want to get up."

Alright, I know this one was really short (especially in comparison to the last chapters) but I felt like I wanted to cut it off there. Review; let me know what you think... I'm gonna be gone for a while (maybe a couple days), so I don't know how many chances I'll get to write more... but I will do my best.

Thanks again to everyone that reviewed!
