A D D I S O N P A R K E R

The club is raging, lights are flashing, you can feel the heat from all the bodies that are squashed together on the dance floor.

Elody is pulling me over towards the bar, "wait, how are we supposed to get drinks we aren't even close to legal age." We stop in the middle of the dance floor since the only way to get to the bar is to make our way through the masses of people dancing at this new club.

Elody reaches inside her bag for her purse, pulling out two cards, in the darkness I couldn't quite make out what she was trying to show me, but then it clicked, "fake ids, where in the world did you manage to get those?" I ask or shout since the music was loud.

She laughs, continuing to drag me towards the bar, "I know a guy." She winks at me. This girl is so sketchy, sometimes I wonder about what she gets up to in her spare time.

We finally make our way through the masses of people towards the bar, I had no clue what to do from here, I'd never been to a club or a party, let alone even had alcohol.

Well that's a partial lie, Ryan allows me one beer here and there, but never to much, I understand why though, because if he allowed me to drink while he was throwing one of his parties who knows what could happen to me, but that doesn't mean he should be keeping me locked up while I'm sober.

Elody shouts over the bar to the Bar man asking for some tequila shots, since the music was so loud there was no way anyone could here anything, "I.ds?" The Bar man shouts over the bar back at Elody.

My whole body freezes, this is it, i'm going to get caught, the barman is going to get the club owner and tell him that we have fake I.Ds, and then they'll call the police and the police will call Ryan then Colton will get involved- oh no this isn't going to end well.

Elody hands over our fake ids, the bar man grabs them out of Elodys hand glancing at them for a mere second before throwing them back to us.

The bar tender hands us, two shots each before walking over to the other end of the bar, to serve the other people waiting to get a drink.

"What the fuck, I was positive we were going to get caught." I grab the shot glass from the counter, staring at the liquor in front of me, contemplating if coming was even a good idea.

"Yea I know I would have thought he'd study the id more, but I guess not- anyways, here's to you finally breaking the rules." Elody raises her shot glass, downing the liquor quickly then grabbing the other glass, and throwing it down her throat.

I quickly follow throwing the first shit down my throat, it burned, i swear for a moment I thought acid was sliding down my throat, but I quickly got used to it, then throwing back the next one.

"Shit I need some more, don't you? I'll get us some more drinks." She calls over the bar tender, while she orders us some more drinks I quickly take time to study the club.

It was very much like what you'd see in a movie, coloured lights flashing throughout the club, loud music, people grinding up against each other, couples making out around the walls, it was full on.

I spin the barstool back around to face the bar, to see that Elody had got us a selection of drinks for us, I definitely getting beyond drunk tonight.

It took me a while but slowly I managed to get down every drink, without throwing one up, since I was very inexperienced with alcohol, I assumed I'd be throwing up all over the place, but I hadn't been, im just completely and utterly pissed.

"Let's go find ourselves some hot boys to grind on!" Elody a shouts to me, I nod my head, we both laugh making our way to the middle of the dance floor.

At this point all sense of worry, guilt, fear was gone, I felt free, me and Elody start dancing to the music the blared through the club bouncing of every wall.

I probably looked ridiculous, the amount of drinks I had I knew my hair would be in a messy state, my make up has probably smudged a bit butt I continued to sway my hips to the beat of the music.

I look over at Elody who's already got a boy, his hands are on her hips, As her arms a reached behind her, gripping onto his hair.

I recognised the boy she was dancing with, it was one on Ryan and Colton's friend, Ashton Brewer , if I were sober I would probably be in panic mode right now, because I would realise that all my brothers lacrosse friends will probably be here, and would definitely recognise who I am.

But I'm not sober so it brushed past me, I continued to dance, I felt someone's hands on my waist, the started guiding my body along with the music.

I had no clue what I was doing, this whole thing felt more the foreign to me, but the guy dancing behind me knew how to move my hips to the beat of the music.

All of a sudden I felt tiny little kisses being placed up my neck, and first I didn't mind I was to lost, in my own world, until I felt this persons hands slide lower and lower, from my hips all the way to I place I wasn't ready to be touched.

I started to sober up a bit instantly trying to pull away from his grip, "right buddy time to find someone else to dance with!" I try to pull away but he keeps me in a tight grip, his hands dig into my hips harder.

I'm still trying to pull away, "get off me!" I don't understand how we are surrounded by people but no one has noticed what's going on.

Suddenly I felt his hands tear away from me, the sudden release of grip made me fall to my knees I quickly pull myself back onto my feet trying to regain my balance.

"She fucking told you to get off her!" My whole body freezes, I could recognise that voice anywhere, I whip my head around and of course holding the guy, that I was trying to get away from, was Colton.

He was fuming, and his eyes weren't on my he focused on the man he was holding, the guy was quite attractive I wouldn't lie, but I'm not going to let myself getting taken advantage just because of looks.

Obviously the guy that Colton had been very intensely staring at, knew in no way would he win a fight a against Colton, being as Colton's has such a strong build.

He walks away, well more runs away from Colton, disappearing into a mist of people. That's when quickly Colton's attention turns towards me.

Not bothering to say anything he grabs my arm, pulling me out of the club, you could tell how angry he was by the lace he was moving at, I barley managed to keep up to him, he was practically dragging me.

I quickly turn my head back to the sea of dancing drunk people, and quickly remember that I had forgotten about Elody, "what about Elody?" I shout at Colton trying to pull us in the opposite direction.

Obviously I'm not strong enough to pull Colton the other way so he kept on walking, I was 100 percent not prepared to leave my drunk friend alone at a club so I did the first thing that I thought would stop Colton from leaving my friend here.

Scream.

Colton's hand quickly found my mouth covering it before to much noise could escape it, "shut the fuck up Addison, your friends fine okay she's with Ashton, now don't make me call your fucking brother." I glare at him.

He removes his hand from my mouth, scooping me up cradle style like I'm a baby, and carrying me out of the club.

Once we reach the outside I feel the cold air instantly chill my skin, it was so hot and muggy inside the club I didn't realise how cold it would be outside.

After a little while of searching Colton finally found his car, he opens the door for me sliding me out of his arms and onto the passengers seat.

He jogs his way round to his side of the car, once he hops in his attention is on me, "Addison Parker what the fuck were you doing there?" My head snaps from staring out the windscreen to straight to his face.

"What was I doing there, what were you doing there you're not twenty one!" I snap, he's only two years older then me yet he acts like he's at least ten.

"That's not the point, girls like you shouldn't be at clubs like that, do you know how many predators are out there just waiting for young girls like you to become drunk, god it's almost happened to you!" I roll my eyes at him.

"I was handling myself I'm not five." Colton's face quickly changes giving me this look, like I'm absolutely stupid.

"No but your sixteen at a twenty one plus club." I scoff at him, he can't be serious.

"Colton your seventeen your not even two years older than me get over yourself." My head turns back to the windscreen, I know what's coming next he's going to tell my brother and then I'll really be on lockdown.

"Look at you Addy I'm twice your size, that man that was going to take advantage of you. He was at least five years old than me but ran away when I threatened him, this isn't about age anymore, this about how well you can handle yourself, and you can't Addy, at all!" He waves his hands up and down my body referring to my size.

I don't saying anything I just stare straight ahead, I can't stand these lectures anymore it's all the same thing, 'you can't handle yourself' 'your too young'.

"Your bloody unbelievable." Colton starts the car, quickly making his way out of the club car park.

We start driving through, town but I keep my eyes focused on the buildings and the street lights anything to distract me from the current situation, but of course Colton has more to say.

"Do you know how shocked I was when I figured out you were there, I saw your friend and I thought, I can't let someone hurt her because I know how much it will hurt Addy, then I remembered you stupid drinking pact, and I knew you'd be here. How you snuck out with out Ryan noticing? I can't quite figure that out, but lucky I found you when I did because, who knows what could have happened to you? Then I couldn't wait to tell Ryan-

"That's enough Colton for fucks sake, you can't go a fucking day with out rubbing something in my face! Yeah you saved me! Yeah I'm grateful! Yeah I know I fucked up! But I just wanted freedom! All I want is freedom." I let out a sigh, resting my head on my chair.

I felt Colton look at me but I choose to ignore it, I hear him open his mouth like he was going to say something, but his head turned back to the road and I heard silence.

Silence the entire car ride home.
