hey heres your chapter 2! hope you like it!

i walked to where i just left reed a minute ago but only found her friends dancing in a group. i did a double check of the floor and saw no sign of her.

"hey constance" i said walking over to the group and pulling her to the side.

"oh hi there joshy" she slurred. she was drunk. of course.

"do you know where reed went?"

"i think she went that away" she said pointing her whole arm up in the air towards the ceiling.

due to her current state that made her lose her balance. i caught her by the shoulders a second before she wouldve taken us both down.

"thanks" i said shoving my way through the crowd to the spiral staircase in the back of the room. i took the steps two at a time until i arrived on the second floor.

what i saw was probably an alcoholics dreamland.

there was a giant fountain in the center spurting some kind of liquid that smelled suspiciously of vodka. beer kegs like the kind you see in those cheesy college movie encircled the room and in case that wasnt enough there were atlest five different self serving mini bars.

but the real show were the people here. they were all insanely drunk so therefore they were dancing, making out, running around, and just generally acting like drunken morons.

and these are the future leaders of our country i thought wirily.

but really this was just sad. i cant imagine how anyone could find this fun, especially reed. reed. was she on this floor? i didnt see her passed out in the corner or running around like a lunatic so still i had no luck in finding her. i even opened up a few doors but still just passed out partiers. i sighed and started up the staircase again.


i probably shouldve expected it because of the rumors floating around about the third floor but still. i saw more than a couple of things id never want to mention to anyone.

thankfully i didn't see reed shoving her tongue down some guys throat, or worse, on one of the mattresses laid across the floor, but where was she? i stomached enough to look around the room but she wasnt there. where did she go? i couldnt have left her alone for more than five minutes so its not like she couldve gotten far. what if she left? dread fell over me as i thought about not getting a chance to explain my awful behavoir to reed and her hating me forever. but i couldnt think like that. i still had one more floor to go and there was also the roof. i didnt have to start panicking yet. i turned around and headed up the staircase again.

onto floor four…


the second i entered i got a mouthful of pot. i chocked and covered my mouth hoping not too much had gotten in. it was the same situation as the alcohol, too much in me and ill go haywire.

i saw a group of guys i knew from Ketlar snorting something up there nose and i headed over to them. i knew they were all high as a kite but any help would be apreciated right now.

"hey guys" i said as a greeting.

"dude" said gage all wide eyed with white stuff under his nose. i guess crack is his preferred drug of the night "theres, theres a poodle on your head". he even pet my head like it was a real dog.

i swatted his hand away and rolled my eyes, not really sure how to respond to that.

"have any of you guys seen reed?" i said adressing the rest of the guys.

"who?" trey said groggily. oh god they even looped trey into this?

"nevermind" i grumbled and turned around seeing as talking to them would just be a waste of time.

i went in and out of rooms, explored every square inch and yet i came up empty handed. ok now i was really starting to panick.
