Emma and Manny sat on Emma's bed waiting until they knew for sure that Emma's parents were asleep. Craig was going to come to their house around 11:30 to pick them up. They both decided that they had to dress extra sexy for this party. Even though they were both taken, they were still allowed to look, just not touch. They both put on extra short jean mini-skirts. Manny put on a black tube top and Emma put on a light blue halter top. The shirt was very loose on Emma because of her sudden weight loss. She didn't care though, she looked good and she knew it. There was a tap at the window; Craig was sitting outside signaling one of them to open it. Emma ran to the window and opened for him.

"Hey! Sorry I meant to leave that open for you." She said

"That's okay." Craig replied, "You girls ready?"

"Just about." Said Manny as she applied some last minute lip gloss

"You girls are dressed a little bit provocatively for tonight. Planning on picking up some guys?"

"Ha-ha! Very funny!" Manny said turning around and giving him a quick kiss on the lips.

"Ugh, I swear you two are worse then Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes!" said Emma

Both Craig and Manny stared at Emma.

"What, so I like my celebrity gossip! Sue me! It helps me get away from everyone at school talking about me and my problems."

"Em, no one knows about you and what goes on in your life." Said Manny trying to make her feel better.

"Right! Like no one found out about the Ravine or my recent trip down supposed eating disorder lane!" she said in disgust

"Alright, you know what? Manny has applied enough lip gloss and you both look amazing, so, let's go!" Craig said trying his best to avoid yet another argument about Emma and her decisions.

Craig helped both the girls out the window and then lifted himself up through the window after them. They got to the party only to see a kid sitting on the curb puking his brains out.

"I'm guessing someone had a little too much to drink." Pointed out Manny.

Craig parked the car and all three of them got out of the car. They made their way to the door and knocked. A tall, built man with a football jersey on answered the door with a beer bottle in his hand.

"Hey Craig! You made it!" said the man

"Yeah. Hey, Emma, Manny. This is my friend Jason."

"Hey!" said Jason, eyeing Emma. "Ooo, girl you are totally fine!"

"And totally taken." Said Emma giving him a dirty look

"Oh, sorry. My bad! But come on. Join the party!"

They walked in, they looked into the kitchen and saw a group of boys surrounding one girl cheering, "Chug, chug, chug!"

"Hey guys. Here drinks for all!" said one of the kids at the party. Handing them all red cups full of some unknown liquid.

"What is it?" asked Emma

"Oh, it's a secret. But if you're looking for a good time, this is the stuff." Said the boy

"None for me thanks. I'm the DD for the night." Said Craig

"Aww, look at my boyfriend being all responsible." Said Manny

"Well, I'm in!" said Emma as she started chugging the drink.

"Whoa Emma. Take it easy. I don't want to have to carry you out of here later." Said Craig

"I'm good, don't worry. I am not going to drink that many!" she replied after she finished chugging the cup clean.

"Now that's my kind of girl!" said the man again, "Want another one?" he asked

Emma didn't hesitate. She took another drink. She decided to take her time on this one. She wanted to enjoy it.

"You know, maybe I should be DD with you too. I have a feeling it's going to take two to get here out of here later." Said Manny looking at Emma with worry

"Good idea!" answered Craig

Emma was slowly making her way around the Frat house. Then she heard a familiar voice. Someone's voice she really didn't want to hear. She turned around only to see Jay.

"Well, well, well! I did not expect to see you here!" said Jay walking towards her.

"Go away Jay!"

"Oh come on. Is that the way you greet an old friend?

"You know, I forgot how funny you were."

"Are you still bitter about that whole STD thing?" Jay whispered to her." Because that was just as much your fault as it was mine."

"Shut up Jay! It happened last year okay! It's done and over and I've recovered!" she snapped

"What's going on?" she heard behind her.

She turned around and there was Sean.

"Sean, what are you doing here?"

"Jay invited me. I guess I could ask you the same question."

"Oh, I came with Craig and Manny."

"Wow, I'll have to go say hi later!" he said "So, what you two talking about? It seemed pretty heated."

"Oh, nothing. Just solving some old problems." Said Jay with a smirk

"What problems?" said Sean eyeing them both.

"Nothing!" said Emma quickly. "He was just kidding!"

"Wait a minute! You never told him did you! Said Jay pointing from Emma to Sean.

"Told me what?" asked Sean

"Nothing! He's again, just kidding!" said Emma trying to give Jay a hint that he just wouldn't take.

"Oh man buddy. Have I got a story to tell you about good old Emma Nelson here. You're most likely going to hate me afterwards, but it's worth it because I can not wait to see the expression on your face!" said Jay grabbing Sean by the shoulder and leading him away from Emma.

"Jay, don't you dare!" said Emma on the verge of tears.

"Oh now don't get all emotional Emma, he deserves to know. Being your ex-boyfriend and my friend." Said Jay, as he and Sean walked away.

Emma turned away from them because she didn't want them to see that she was crying. She walked away to get another drink and bumped into Manny who was making out with Craig against the wall. They both saw that she crying and instantly became worried.

"What's wrong?" asked Craig

"Well, Sean and Jay are here and Jay is off somewhere telling him about the Ravine!" said Emma as tears flowed down her face.

"Are you sure? He's probably just messing with you." Said Manny trying to comfort her.

"Come on! It's Jay we're talking about. Any chance he gets to ruin someone's life, he'll take it!"

Manny hugged her and tried to calm her down.

"Do you want to go home" asked Craig

"No, we came here to have fun so that's what we're going to do." Said Emma, grabbing another drink off the table next to them. She again instantly starting chugging it.

"Emma, this is not the way to make yourself feel better. You're just going to feel ten times worse in the morning. Take it from me." Said Manny

"I can take care of myself thank you very much!" she snapped

Emma was already starting to feel a little light headed being that it was her third drink. She was starting to feel better with every sip she took. She grabbed another cup and starting sipping it. She stood in the corner of the room by herself when all of a sudden she heard a crash come from the other side of the room. She couldn't see what happened because a crowd had formed. She walked over to see what was going on, she made her way through the crowd only to find Jay lying on the ground holding his face as someone held Sean back from attacking him.

"Sean, what are you doing?" Emma yelled

"Shut up! Don't even look at me! You slut!"

Emma looked at him in shock. She had never seen him this angry, it scared her. She felt the tears coming back. Sean gave her the dirtiest look she had ever seen. She decided to walk away and let him cool down a bit. She knew Sean was going to react this way when he found out. She wanted to explain herself to him but knew he wouldn't listen, not now at least while he was this angry. She walked away and sat on the nearest couch. She chugged the rest of her drink, she knew this night wasn't anywhere near over and that it was only going to get worse.
