Sam woke up to her phone ringing and reached around on the table next to her bed for it. She had fallen asleep right after school by accident and now she jumped up when she saw Josh's number on the caller id.
She had completely forgotten about the party.
"Hello?" she said quickly. "I'm sorry I fell asleep!"
"It's ok, babe" he said, "I'm outside your house take your time."
Sam ran down the stairs and saw Josh's truck parked. He was walking up the porch steps so she opened the door.
There was a note on the kitchen table that Sam hadn't noticed till now.
Sam, we went to see a late movie we will be back around midnight. Have fun at your party. Dad.
"Ok, should we go now?" Sam asked.
"Maybe you want to change?" Josh said, looking at her outfit. She was still wearing just jeans and a t-shirt from after school. Sam ran back up the stairs and slipped on a white skirt and heals. Then she pulled on a loose simple silk tank top and grabbed a sweatshirt, even though the weather was close to hundreds now and she might not need it.
She walked back to the kitchen where Josh was waiting, he stood up when he saw her and walked over to her and kissed her.
"Your beautiful." He said. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Not yet." Sam said, "ill let you know by the end of the night."
"Ok hon." He smiled and put his arm around her shoulders as they walked outside to his car. He opened the door for her and then got in the drivers seat.
They were the first ones to his house, but when they got there it only took ten minutes and the place was filled with people. There was music, drinks, food and drugs.
Sam danced with so many people she didn't even have time to see who some of them were. Drinks were passed around and Sam started getting drunk.
Then when she was dancing she realized something. She wasn't thinking about Jake, and she wasn't wishing to see him. Infact, no part of Sam really cared for Jake anymore.
"I am over him!" she yelled, but no one heard her over the pounding music.
Someone took her hand and pulled her into another room. Everything now was pretty blurry and she couldn't tell who it was for a minute. It was a kid named Cathal, who was in her trigonometry class. He was a hottie, but known to do drugs. And he was popular. She had only talked to him a few times.
"Wanna take some shots?" he said.
"Dude, im prrrretty fucked up already" Sam slurred.
"Just one or two more." He insisted, smiling.
After the second shot she stood up to leave the room. The floor started to come nearer to her face as she fell and Cathal reached out to catch her. Instead of him catching her, her weight pulled him on the floor next to her. Sam couldn't tell where she was or what was happening but there was a weight on top of her and someone was kissing her.
Was it Josh? Or Cathal? No maybe Jake.. but she was at a party, not with Jake, he was in college.
There was a crash and Sam saw nothing except black.
