Willow sees all the guys looking at Alan with smirks as Alan looks back at Gray.

"Alan?" Willow says excitedly.

"I said I saw it happen, Gray?" Alan says.

"I don't know why you're looking at me she won't let me put my arm around her willingly."

"She wears your leather jacket," Alan responds with.

"You're the one who shared a room with her for a week."

"You're the one who slept with her."

"We did not sleep together!" I say turning to them with a serious face.

"Your the one who knew her since she was a kid," Gray says with a smirk.

"Your the one who has her ride on the back of your bike."

"You guys are making me sound awful," I say budding in between the two.

"You're the one who stole her phone and went through it."

"You're the one who suddenly decided to fight for her," Alan responds

"And you did the same."

"Why are you guys just automatically assuming it was someone in the group? And that it's between the two of you? This is not a cheesy love triangle." I say it like it's obvious.

They all turn to me. 

"L.J., truth or dare?" I say trying to change the subject

After a while, we all run out of questions and dares. I am able to keep from kissing anyone or telling anyone my secret so, pretty successful. Plus no one found out it was Alan so we are good.

We all end up getting lost in the crowd and I go to the snack bar to get a drink of water. I grab a plastic cup still in the stack and wash it out before I actually fill it with water and stand off to the side. I watch the party unfold as it more people show up till about midnight and the people coming in slowly comes to a stop. 

I watch as everyone starts to dance to the newer and more popular songs. I smile and shake my head as I watch different people try to dance. Not that I could do any better though. I am on my own until two guys come up to me. Adam and Tim. Known for flirting with every single girl every chance they get. They have dated at least half the girls in the school and broken up with all of them within a week.

"Here all alone?" Tim says as he stands in front of me as Adam stands a bit more off to the side.

"No, actually, I'm here with some friends." I know better than to say I'm alone around these guys.

"I don't see them anywhere," Tim says.

"They went to go find someone and go to the bathroom, they are gonna be right back."

"Would you like to come hang out with me for now?" Tim says keeping my attention.

"I'm okay, I am just waiting for my friends."

"Oh, come on. Do you want a beer?"

"I said I'm okay."

"Fine, we'll leave you alone, see you later Beth." He says walking away.

I watch them leave and I go to chug the rest of my water. As I am halfway finished with it I get a nasty taste in my mouth which makes me gag. I quickly turn and spit the little water I have in my mouth into the sink. Did someone mess with the faucet or something?

I hold the cup in my hand and my head starts to feel dizzy.

Gray's P.O.V

Me and the guys soon decide to go to the snack bar after a while and start to make our way till Willow shows up from the crowd and shouts after us.

"Guys!"

We all look towards her as she makes her way over to us.

"Have you guys seen Beth? She disappeared and I can't find her anywhere."

"Did you check her room?" L.J. says trying to talk over the music.

"Twice, if you guys find her, could you let me know?"

"Sure," I say as she nods her head and walks off looking around.

We all walk to the kitchen and sure enough, Beth is there. Guess she didn't check everywhere. She is dancing with a couple of guys as they touch her and she looks to be drunk.

"Though she said she doesn't drink." A says as we look over to her.

"She doesn't. Never has." Alan says as we continue to see her dance around.

"Beth! Over here!" I say getting her attention.

She turns to us and smiles and walks over to us almost stumbling over her own two feet.

"Hey, guys." She says slurred.

"How many drinks did you have?" Trever asks as she puts her hand on my shoulder and pulls onto me.

"None." She says with a slur.

"Give me your drink," L.J. says holding out his hand.

"No." She says smiling and holding it away from us.

I quickly grab it from her and pass it over to L.J. as she rubs up against me.

"Okay, knock it off," I say pushing her off me.

"She doesn't smell like booze," Alan says as we look over to L.J.

"Beth, how much of this cup did you drink?"

"Half." She says smiling as she tries to move onto me again.

"Well, s^&*. She's not lying, she's not drunk but her drink has been tapped." L.J. says dumping it in the sink.

She soon goes onto Alan and tries to move on him.

"Well, that explains why she's like this," Alan says pushing her off of him.

"A, Trever, go get Willow, L.J., help me get her to her room? And Alan could you go get the other girls? Someone is tapping drinks."

"Yep."

We grab her arms and put them over our shoulders and begin to walk her as we all split up. 

"Aww, you guys are so nice."

"Thanks," I say as we practically carry her up the steps.

As we reach her room I see Willow rushing up to us as we carry her in. 

Willow's P.O.V

I see them carry her into her room and I quickly follow. Her head is droopy and the guys are pretty much carrying her as her feet stumble. She would be walking into walls if it wasn't for them. They set her down on the bed as she giggles. I quickly go over to her.

"Wow," I say as I look at the guys and her as her eyes won't stop moving.

"Yeah," Gray says sighing.

"Never thought, I would have to be the soccer mom," I say as I grab my bag.

The others all soon rush in, including Emma, Sophia, and Charolet.

"Guy! I lost one of my fingers!" She says looking at her hand.

I drop my head into my hand.

"You girls wanna help me get her to bed?"

"Yeah," Emma says walking in as Sophia and Charolet follow.

"We got it from here, thanks, guys."

They nod their heads and head out, closing the door behind them.

I open up my bag and pull out everything that Beth uses for me when I am drunk or hung over. 

We take off her makeup and put her hair into a bun at the top of her head and grab a trash can as every now and again she throws up. I slide her out of the dress and like always, she is wearing a tank top and shorts underneath that fit her tightly and match her skin color but are comfortable at the same time. We finally finish cleaning her up and lay her down, under the covers on her side with the trashcan at the edge of the bed. We stick a few pillows behind her to keep her from rolling on her back and clean up ourselves.

"You do this often?" Emma asks me.

"No, she usually does it for me when I'm drunk and hung over. That's the only reason I know any of this. What about you?"

"We don't get drunk often but enough to know what to do."

"Should we let the guys know she's good?" Charolet asks.

"Yeah, probably, I'm gonna stay over tonight to help her out with the hangover," I say looking over at her as I fix my hair.

"Alright," Sophia says

We all head downstairs and the guys all stand there at the bottom as we head down.

"Well, she's asleep," Charolet says as we head down, getting their attention.

"She's gonna be alright. Never seen her like that though." I say sighing as I get to the bottom of the stairs.

"Good way to spend your first party," Emma says biting her cheek.

"We know who it is?" Trever says looking at us.

"No, she didn't say anything, but I have an idea," I say looking through the party.

"Who?"

"Let me find them so I can kill them first."

Tim and Adam, notorious for tapping drinks and getting girls. I thought they weren't here. I look around and into the kitchen and that's when I see them.

"Keep anyone from calling the police for me," I say storming off to them as they all follow. 

I walk up to them as I watch Adam pour something into a girl's drink. I quickly slap the drink from her hand.

"Hey!"

"They just tapped your drink."

She quickly looks to me and the guys and backs off.

"Who do you think you are-"

I quickly stop him mid-sentence punching him in the face and sending him flying backward into a wall like I had learned from Beth when we were kids. Everyone looks to me and the talking stops as just the music plays and I kick up to the guys' jaw in his soft spot making him squeal and I send another punch to him as he drops. 

"Scram, you jack*$$^$, that's what you get for messing with my friend!"

They quickly scramble to their feet and run out the door as I storm through the party after them with all eyes on me and the others following me. I watch them start away from the party and look back to me, scared.

I quickly take off my heavy heels and chuck them one after the other, hitting them both times as they continue to run. My chest heaves as I watch them run and I give them the look of death as they limp and sprint away. 

The other join beside me as they disappear from view. I walk forward and grab my heels off the ground, carrying them back in my hands as I walk barefoot.

"If sirens start sounding, I will blame what just happened on one of you," I say as I walk past them.

My anger is through the roof, what would have happened if the guys weren't there? What would have happened if we didn't find her when we did? I wanted to kill them but I don't wanna have to leave Beth alone when she lives at the party house. Juvie is nothing compared to protecting a friend, especially one who saved my life on multiple occasions.

I learned everything I know from that girl and she is my best friend so no one is gonna hurt with her without me killing them first. Same she would do for me.

I walk back to the party and everyone is still silent and looks to me.

"What are you all looking at?!" I scream at them and the party soon goes back to normal as I head upstairs. 

I'm pretty sure the guys went home and I stay to make sure Beth won't freak in the morning or choke on her own vomit.

I change into a pair of sweatpants and a black hoodie I had found with some white words on the back and put all my things into my bag as I wash my face. I go to her bay window and look down on the party unfolding till I eventually fall asleep against the window.

Beth's P.O.V

I wake up with a pounding in my head and I turn over the bed and everything in my stomach comes up. I feel so sick. My hair is out of my face and I see that there is a trash can on the side of the bed and the sun shines in my eyes.

"Oh, no. I'm coming." I hear a voice say.

My eyes are watery as I throw up till I finally have nothing left and take a deep breath.

"Oh, you're actually awake. Good timing too, it's nine.

I look up to see Willow there with a towel.

"Here." She hands me the wet towel and takes the trashcan from me, walking away.

I hold the towel to my mouth and wipe off the vomit and slowly sit up as my head pounds.

"What happened?"

All I remember is taking a few drinks of my water last night then, nothing else.

"Well, what do you last remember?" She says as I hear water running.

"Taking a small sip of my water."

"You don't remember coming onto both Gray and Alan?"

"Haha, I'm serious though," I say the first park jokingly.

"So am I. Tim and Adam tapped your drink."

"What!?"
