We pulled into Liam's driveway and the first thing I heard was pounding music. Actually, I could hear that music a mile down the road. I covered my ears.
"Don't the neighbors complain?" I asked almost having to shout. He chuckled shaking his head.
"Nope. As long as there isn't any puke in there yard they don't care. I have rules at my party that the neighbors respect. One: don't throw things that will shatter or break making unnecessary noise. Two: music has to be turned down at 11:00 PM. And Three: Party ends at 1:00, no later."
"Oh. So, what do you do at these things?" I asked. Yes, I know, a senior that has never been at a party? Crazy! Not really. I never saw the point of going to these things. All people do is get drunk and do inappropriate things.
"You've never been to a party? Have you?" Liam asked. I shook my head looking at the scene before me. There were kids outside dancing with red cups in there hands. Some with bottles. They were doing moves that really should be illegal. By the bushes there was a kid throwing up. I cringed at the sight. "Well, I guess I'm going to have to show you how it's done. Come on Cam, I'm guessing you've never had a beer before." We got out of the car and Liam grabbed my hand. At school he has always been known as the party animal. I just don't know how bad he gets. I hope not too bad.
We entered the house and I was hit with the sent of sweat and something else I'm assuming was beer. Gross! I tried not to gag. Liam lead me to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle out of the cooler. He handed it to me.
"Here's some beer. Don't drink it to fast, I don't know how much your stomach will take. You know, because you've never had any before. You've never had any, right?" He asked. I shook my head and he smiled.
"I'm going to go find the guys. Feel free to walk around. Just, don't dance with any guys. You're my date remember?" He kissed my cheek before walking away. I decided to go find the girls. I brought the beer with me so I didn't seem rude but there is no way I'm going to drink it. Drinking just isn't my thing.
It took me about ten minutes until I finally found Macey and Bex. Knowing Liz, she probably went home right after the game. Lucky duck. I thought.
"Cammie!" Bex yelled. She walked over to me. Well, tried to anyways. She kept stumbling with every step she took. And I knew it wasn't the heels.
"Hey Bex. Are you okay? You might want to sit down. I'll go get you some water." I was about to leave when she grabbed my arm.
"Nooooo. Don't leave! You just got here! Let's daancce!" She slurred. Bex pulled me over to Macey who was currently making out with someone. "Mace! Look who made it!" She yelled. Macey stopped sucking faces with mystery dude and looked over towards Bex and me. She squealed and ran over to me. So she isn't too drunk. Maybe I could have a conversation with her.
"Hey Mace." I said as she hugged me.
"Hey giirrll!" She, well, slurred. All hope gone. "Where's Liam? I heard he's going to get some!" She said while shaking her hips. Before I could ask what she meant, arms wrapped around my waist. I looked over my shoulder to see Liam. I sighed internally. Finally someone sober!
"Liam's right here." He said. "Have any of that drinkq babe?" He asked. I blushed when he said babe.
"No, I didn't." I told him.
"Here, I'll go and put some in a cup." He smiled his knee melting smile and walked away. I watched as he left.
"Cam! He is so freaking hot! And sweet!" Bex said. I looked for Macey. She was making out with the guy again. Doesn't she need to breathe?
"Yeah. He is." I td Bex smiling. "Way better than Zach. Speaking of, where is he." I haven't seen Zach since I came here. Wasn't he on the football team too?
"Here comes Liam! Bye giiirrll." She shook her fingers at me while backing away stumbling into people.
"Here you go babe. I only gave you a little because I don't know if you'll like it." Liam handed me a cup while wrapping his left arm around my waist. But before I drank it a voice yelled at Liam. A voice I knew.
"So, you did get Cammie to come here!" Zach laughed. "You know, I'm surprised. This really isn't Cammie's scene." he looked at the cup in my hands. "And you're giving her beer? Come on man. Have a little bit of manners." Zach walked up to Liam and punched him in the face. The music stopped and everyone was staring. Liam stumbled back taking his arm of my waist.
"I'm sorry Zach? Is someone jealous?" Liam asked wiping the blood from his lip. Zach went for him again but Liam punched him in the stomach. Zach grunted.
"Guys, stop!" I yelled. Zach looked up at me, then at my cup. "Zach, go home or something. Just, stop." He didn't listen and walked over to me. He took my cup and sniffed it. His eyes darkened to a very dark green.
"Are you f****** crazy!?" He yelled turning to Liam throwing my drink. "You drugged it!? You f****** drugged it!?" Liam looked at me, then to Zach, then back at me. Some guys sober enough stepped forward getting ready to stop a fight that will no doubt break loose soon. How right I was. Zach went for Liam and punched him in the face. Liam punched Zach in the gut making Zach grunt. They tackled each other on the floor. As they fought I just stood there. Shocked and hurt. I could feel tears rolling down my cheeks. Drugged?
"It was just a little pill. I wanted her to let loose! Have fun!" Liam yelled at Zach.
"Yeah! In your freaking bed." Zach yelled back punching Liam's face again. The boys that got ready to break the fight up figured both Liam and Zach had enough. One boy I knew as Nick grabbed Zach while another grabbed Liam. They continued to yell at each other while trying to break out if their friends grasp.
"You don't even like Cam. She's just another fling to you! And because I almost had her you wanted her even more!" Zach yelled. Everyone started whispering to each other.
"That's a lie! Cammie don't believe him! He doesn't know what he's talking about." He got out of his friends grasp and walked over to me. I stepped back. "Baby please. I-I love you." His hands cupped my cheeks. "I love you so much baby. Don't leave me." I stepped away from him shaking my head. I wrapped my arms around my self as if I was cold.
"Stay away from me." I told him. "Just stay away." He let out a sob. I looked over to Zach. I hate boys!
"Cam, let me take you home. I know I acted like a creep and I'm sorry. I just... Lost control is all. It won't happen again I promise." Zach told me. I looked at both Liam and Zach. Then I ran. I ran from them, from the whole high school that was no doubt there, from my friends and the drama. I don't know where to but I just ran. I wanted to get away from it all.
Zach's POV
I watched as she ran.
"You should be happy Andrews. Now I won't have her. But neither will you. Thanks to you none of us have a chance." I growled.
"She'll forgive me Goode. She's just scared. You? You don't even have a chance. We've been after her science 9th grade and she's always hated you. Who do you think has a better chance?" Liam said. I went to punch him but Nick held me back.
"Well then. May the best man win." And with that, I walked out. As I ran to my car to find Cam my phone started going off with text messages. They were pictures, messages and videos of the fight. I rolled my eyes and didn't bother to read them. I wonder how many people know about what happened now. No doubt idiots looking for attention posted this stuff on facebook and YouTube.
Getting into my car I went to look for Cammie. I decided to go to the beach first. Once I got to the beach I got out of my truck and ran.
"Come on Cam. Where are you?" I asked my self looking around. It didn't take long before I saw someone sobbing with her head in her knees. I walked over to her and knelt down.
"Go away!" She yelled. I wrapped my arms around her ignoring her protests.
"I'm not going anywhere Princess." I told her. "Talk to me baby. What's wrong?"
"You!" Well, that didn't sting. " You and Liam and drama. That's the problem! I can't take it! I wish I had never gotten involved with you two. If I hadn't, none of this would have ever happened." I picked her up and put her in my lap and cradled her. "Stop! I don't want to be comforted right now! I just want to be alone!"
"To bad Princess. I told you I'm not going anywhere." I told her kissing the top of her head.
"I hate you." She said in a softer tone.
"I know Princess, but I don't hate you." She didn't answer so I figured she either didn't want to talk, or fell asleep. The soft snores told me she was sleeping. I picked her up and went to my truck grabbing a few blankets. I laid a blanket down, which was very complicated because of holding Cammie, and I laid her down after.
"Sorry Cam, I would take you home but I don't know where you live and I don't want to go home right now." I laid down next to her putting her head on top of my arm so she could use it as a pillow. I turned on my side and used my left hand to wipe the tears off her face. "You're to beautiful to cry sweetheart. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I love you Cam. I just wish you loved me too." I kissed the tip of her nose, her cheeks, forehead, and eyelids. "Good night Princess." I wrapped my arm around her and let sleep take over me.
