I had never been more embarassed before in my entire life, and I was starting to feel as if this was the worst idea of my life. I made my way to the back of the large building slumping to the ground of the door way.

I didn't care if I was ruining my dress, or if the tears had ruined my make-up; I couldn't do this is my father wasn't here. My mother was smart, she didn't run after me, she would give me time to cool off before I would call her and tell her to come and take me home, I could hear through the door, that they were going to keep the party going, I mean 300 kids come an except to party.

Grown up
She just turned 16
Stuck in the moment
Dead at the scene
And it's on tonight
This is the life that you wanted, right?
So turn off all the lights
Dressed up just like a movie star
At all the parties they'll know who you are
Wouldn't it be great, to be fashionably late?
So why don't you wait, till you're sedated

I could hear Dance Hall Drug, pounding through the door, it described most of what I was feeling, and now I felt like an idiot for sitting outside of my own party, tears rolling off my cheeks, alone.

"Sitting out at your own party?" I heard a voice say coming from the side of the building and I almost stopped dead in my tracks. This boy… he looked familiar, but I'd never spoken to him, his eyes were so dark… darker than I'd ever seen, and his hair was so golden his face lit up slightly as he made his way over to me.

I dried my eyes with the corner of my jacket before looking up at him. "Sorry.. who are you?" I asked, pushing my hair out of my eyes.

"I'm James, you invited me." He said not seeming annoyed, as I know I would have been.

"Than of course I wouldn't know you, I barely know anyone here." I said swallowing thickly.

"I see…" he said as he took a seat next to me. "You going to be alright?"

I nodded turning my face away from him, it was hard to understand how this boy I barely knew was giving me such goosebumps.

"Can I give you a ride home or somewhere…?" He asked looking at me, as if he was actually worried.

"I would like that." I said as a small smile crept up on my lips as he stood before me extending his hand, as I clutched it and pulled myself up, him aiding me along of course. There was something about him that wasn't… human.
