Pretty Little Liars belongs to Sara Shepard and ABC Family.

I do not own or take credit for anything.

Less than an hour left till we have to go to Noel's cabin. I was so stoked now I could hardly contain myself. I'm not one to get so excited about going to a party that includes popular kids but I think the fact that I was going with people I actually hang out with is what made it better. The only one who wasn't coming is Andrew. He didn't feel comfortable going. Noel invited him himself, but he's convinced it was just to get me to finally go to one of them. Plus he's so used to being labeled that he was afraid they'd do a prank on him. That never crossed my mind but I was convinced that wasn't the case. He won't hear it though, so instead he's going to the movies with one of his cousins.

I'm chilling out on the back porch, watching the stars. It was a nice night. The weather wasn't bad at all. A bit chilly but as long as I had a sweater I didn't mind it much. The sky was so clear you could see the stars as if you were out there with them. This was a time when I'd climb out my window of my room to sit on the roof of our garage. That's one of the things I miss most about that house. I had my own getaway spot, no one bothered me when they saw me out there. Well...with the exception of Mike.

"When are you going to get through your stubborn head that I didn't make the first move!"

I turn around to the glass doors. You could just make out Spencer and Melissa in the kitchen. They were having an argument, nothing new really. But Spence kind of got herself into a bad situation that made Melissa and Wren break up. Something about kissing the guy one night while he was in her room? I mean hey I'm not judging, it's their business. I just live here.

"Didn't keep you from kissing back!" Melissa shoots back.

I felt bad for her. I really did. But I also felt for Spencer. She's always coming second to her sister and it's as if her parents never notice when she's going through a rough time. She found out that Ali is gone and all her family is worried about is how Melissa is hurting from being betrayed by Spencer. Fine it's a good reason but Wren started it. Do they consider that maybe he forced himself on her? No of course not, because everything is apparently Spencer's fault. See this is why I don't want to be part of their family. It's either you're perfect and everything's fine or you aren't and they try to hide it from the world.

At this point I knew we were going to be late. I saw this coming as soon as Melissa stormed into Spencer's room while we were getting ready. She had found something of Wrens in the loft when she attempted to get rid of the things he left behind. But that just got her all worked up again. I tried to calm her down because I knew this would turn ugly fast. Sadly I was not able to stop her as she followed us downstairs.

I couldn't help watching through the window. I swear Melissa was so mad her head was about to pop off. It seemed to be getting really bad now. I was just about to get up and head inside but then Peter walked in and she stormed upstairs. Ever since they kicked Wren out Melissa hasn't bothered to sleep in the Loft. All of her stuff was still in there though, but she decided to take back her old room and I had no choice but to start sharing Spencer's room. For a rich family they have practically no space in the house. And a spoiled daughter on top of that. "Oh my fiancé is an ass. Let me not stay in the place I fought my sister for because all his stuff is still there and I'm being a baby about it." Like give me a break!

Her dad said a few words to Spencer then headed off upstairs after Melissa. I watched her anger building up. If she could she probably would have thrown fire out her hands. That's how pissed she looked.

I leaned towards the door and tapped on the glass. She turned to the door and I smile at her. The anger in her eyes faded right away. Then she walked over and came outside. She sat down next to me and for awhile it was quiet. I mean so quiet you could hear the music blasting from a few houses down.

Finally I say. "You okay?" She was too busy playing with her watch. This was one of her many ways of trying to avoid things. "Spence?"

She looks at me and smiles. "I'm fine." I went to answer. "Come on. Lets get to Noel's cabin." She then gets up and walks away. I had no choice but to follow her lead. She was my ride after all.

It took about an hour or so to get to his cabin. It's outside of Rosewood but I didn't think it would take that long. We made a turn on the street his cabin was supposed to be on. Turned out it was the longest driveway I'd ever seen. Well not really, but it felt like it. It was a long road just to get to his cabin, no houses surrounded it. I guess that's your life when you're rich.

A line of cars came into view as we started to get closer to his house. His parties are no joke. You could hear the music blasting half way down the road. When we got there we pulled up behind a blue convertible, two people getting out of it.

When I get out of Spencer's car I see who it is. "Em!" I yell. She turns around and smiles. Maya was the other person in the car.

She hugs me. "I didn't think you were coming."

I give her a look. "Why?" She points to my face. I realize she meant my lip. "Oh come on. I'm not going to miss the biggest party of the year because I have a busted lip." She half smiles but looked a little upset. "I heard about Ben." I slowly say.

Ben is, well now was her boyfriend. I didn't get to talk to her about it but it got around town. They got into a fight while she was in the girls locker room after swim practice yesterday and he started getting rough with her. She wanted him to stop, but he wouldn't. Then Toby swooped in and saved her. I know what you're thinking. What in the world was Toby even doing there? Creepy right? But I guess we owe him. Who knows what Ben would have done if he hadn't been there.

Her face drops a bit and looks at Spencer. Then Maya. Then back to me. "It's not a big deal."

"He was forcing himself on you Em."

"How could..."

"It's Rosewood." I say simply.

She nods. "Right."

"Hey!" We all jump. Aria was running over from her car behind us. When she gets to us she has a pretty bright smile. "Just got here?" We all nod.

I look over towards the cabin entrance and can just make out Noel and his best friend Sean (who happens to be Hanna's boyfriend) at the foosball table. We start to head over to the cabin. Em and Maya in front.

"Hey Em." We hear Hanna say. As I was looking over who happens to turn around at that moment? No one other than Ben.

"You came." He says to Em.

She froze in her tracks. Then she nods. "Yea." She looks at Maya. "Just not with you." Then they both walk away.

My brain echoed the word. "Ohhhhh." In that mocking type of voice people do when they get dissed. I couldn't help but smile 'cause he deserved it.

"Jessie!" Noel notices me "Here play for me." He tells Sean. Then walks over. "You're here."

I slowly nod. "Well. You did invite me."

He smiles, reaching from ear to ear. His teeth were so white he could probably blind you if light reflected off it. "Can I get you a beer?" He looks at me, then looks at Spencer and Aria as well. But returns back to my eyes as soon as he could.

"Uh." I nod "Sure."

He nods. "If you ladies would be so kind as to follow me to the kitchen." He turns on his heel and starts walking. At first he was in front of us but then he slows down a bit and starts walking next to me. "So I heard about Amber." I don't say anything. "I told her she couldn't come."

I look at him. "You did?"

He nods. "I did."

I was a bit stunned. "Why?"

He half laughs. "Brant come on. You're one of my good friends. I'm not about to have your worst enemy show up and ruin the night." It still felt weird that he considered me a friend, but a good friend? That's huge coming from a major popular guy. Like Empire State Building huge.

We reach the kitchen and he goes into the fridge. I hadn't noticed how quiet I got till I hear Spence clear her throat and nudge me. "Well." I was a bit stumped on what to say. "Thanks. I appreciate you looking out for me." Out loud I said it confidently. But in my head I said it like a question. Was he looking out for me? And if so why? What made him decide I was worthy of being his friend?

There's a crash as glass breaks in the other room. "Damn it!" He hands us all a can of beer. "I'll...give me a minute." Then he runs off.

I open my beer and take a huge gulp. I wasn't much of a beer person but I made the exception this time. The girls were watching me as I turned to them. "What?"

They smile. "He likes you." Spencer says.

"What? No. Are you nuts."

Aria smiles. "No. She's right."

My heart sinks. "I don't know if you guys know this but...I have a boyfriend."

They smile. "Yes." Aria says.

"We kinda figured when he kissed you on the mouth." Spencer half smiles. "But he could have just decided he was being friendly. I mean who knows really." I give her an evil look and she starts laughing.

Aria joins in. "Oh Jessie chill. We are just pulling your leg."

I take another sip. "I just don't want him getting the wrong idea."

"He won't." She says.

"He knows you have a boyfriend. If he's actually your friend he won't be stupid enough to ruin it by trying to get with you." Spencer adds.

I look over to where he walked off. Hanna was chillin with Mona against one of the walls. She looked a little bored. Next to me some guys were challenging each other to drink until they threw up. It was entertaining I guess but after while I felt like I was going to be sick. Aria and Spence took off not too long after Noel got back to us. He was trying to be friendly but started getting a bit snobbish. He tended to do that when he was around his friends but it was a bit worse than usual since he's been drinking. They weren't feeling it so they left the kitchen. Aria left to go to her moms opening like an half hour later.

I was getting a bit bored until the triplets spotted me. "Ayo Jessie!" Blake yelled. I couldn't help but laugh as they ran over to me.

"Dare you to chug that." Kyle says, pointing at my third can of beer. I won't lie. I was starting to feel it now.

I stared at it and shook my head. "Nah."

"Why not?" He asks. "Chicken?"

I laugh. "No. Just rather not puke."

"Oh come on." Blake says.

I look at Luna, who smiles and shrugs. "Give it a shot." She says.

So what do I do? I chug it down. It was less than halfway full so immediately Kyle got me another. I didn't want to but I chugged that one down anyway. Then Blake got me another one. I stopped chugging it down after the one Blake gave me but every time I finished they would pop another into my hand. I'm not sure how many I had but I was now having a good time.

This night went from shitty to fun in no time. I was feeling the beat of the music now, which meant I was done. You see me moving to the music in anyway and you'll know I've had too much, because I never dance. Man am I going to regret this in the morning.

Sometime later someone yells. "Look at Jessie go!"

I couldn't tell you who said it. Because I have no idea. I was surrounded by people, well they were upside down but still surrounded. No I didn't pass out if that's what you thought. I was drinking beer through a funnel from a huge jug thing. Someone was holding my legs up while I held myself up.

I just slurped up a good amount of beer when I see Emily come into view. "Emmiiilyyyy!" I say in a sing song voice.

She gives me a look. "What are you doing?" She walks over and helps me down. Then drags me to the side.

"Hey come on!" One of the boys yelled at her.

We get over to a wall and she just watches me. "What?" I half laugh. I'm not even sure what was so funny.

"You're drunk."

"What? No that's crazy." I attempt to lean my hand up against the wall but I missed. I crash into a couple who had been on the couch and start laughing my head off. They both look at me with disgust and took off.

She grabs me and helps me sit. "You so are." She looks around. "Spencer!" She yells.

"Are you..." I stop to think. I couldn't remember what I wanted to say. Then I try again. "Are...hiccup...Are you tattling on me?"

"You need to go home."

"I don't have a home anymore." I say a bit mumbled and slurring my words.

She gives me a sad look. I think for the first time she saw just how much what happened changed me. How much it affected me. Because I wouldn't normally do something like this. I was practically drinking my feelings away. I guess subconsciously I'm making an effort to get rid of my pain without even noticing it.

"Rosewood is your home Jessie." I look at her. She knows that's not what I meant. But I know she's trying to help.

Spencer walks over. "Hey." She sits down. "What's going on?"

Em points to me. "She's done."

She stares at me. "Done?" I grab her hand and start playing around with her fingers. Bending them back and forth. For some reason it was entertaining me.

Em tries not to laugh. "Drunk, Spencer."

"I'm not drunk!" I half yell.

Spence waves her hand in front of her nose. "Could have fooled me. You smell like beer."

"So...hiccup...do you."

She half smiles. "Oooookay. Time to go."

"I don't wanna." I say in a baby voice. Her and Em both help me up and put my arms around them. Then start to walk to the front of the cabin. "Guys...hiccup...I'm fine." I say. "I'm totally..."

They both look at me when I stopped. I had a mad look on my face. "What's up?" Em says.

"Uh oh." Spencer gets out when she notices what I'm looking at.

I had watched Noel walk from one side of the room to the front door. He had a look that made me know he was upset. When I saw who he was walking over to was why I stopped mid sentence. Amber, Tommy and Carly had all walked into the house. Noel was yelling at them.

"Now it's really time to go." Emily says and starts dragging me the other way.

I struggle away from them. "No." I say. I'm a bit wobbly but I storm towards her.

"Jessie stop!" They both yell and run after me.

I honestly don't even remember making the decision to do it. I guess that's the affects of drinking too much. But all I remember was walking up to Amber and punching her right in the face. The rest was a bit blurry but I do remember seeing a fist coming towards me before I black out.

Hey everyone. Just wanna know what you guys think of this story.

Would love to hear from you.
