"Milan, is that country music?" Benny tried not to laugh as we started to arrange the drinks and snacks on the array of tables.

"Yea!" He cheered as Benny snorted. "I secretly always wanted to try and live the American Dream, you know what I mean?"

Benny and I glanced at each other amused. "No sis, we don't know what the hell you mean." I couldn't help but laugh at Benny's response, making Milan speak again.

"Like I want to live in one of those super huge prairie houses and have a boyfriend that I can catch fish with." He dreamily looked up as Benny scrunched his face. "Then at night, we can lay down on a mattress that we set up at the back of his truck and watch the stars as we cuddle." He breathed.

"Huge prairie houses? You mean those old houses that slave masters used to live in back in the day?" Benny spoke as he kept his eyes at the table, making sure everything is ready.

"Yea!" Milan cheered as Benny and I rapidly turned towards him now. "I-I mean the style of the house of course, not for the fact that it's for slavery. Slavery was bad, I mean, slavery is still bad bu-" Benny quickly interrupted him.

"Milan chill, I get what you mean." Benny audibly tried to sound nice as he slowly turned towards me with a tilted head. "You planning to get fucked up tonight or you good?"

I tried to hide my smile as the country song continued to play in the background. "Is it bad that I kinda want to?" I bit my lip. "I mean, Jesse is gonna be with me the whole time so I should be alright, right?"

"Is Jesse gonna get fucked up too?" Benny asked.

"I honestly don't know." I slowly shook my head as I followed him out towards the pool.

"Hey Milan!" Benny exclaimed as my eyes caught sight of the gorgeously large and shimmering pool.

"Yea?" He exclaimed back from inside of the suite.

"Are you planning to let people swim tonight?" Benny looked up as he waited for a response.

"They can if they want to!" Milan responded loudly, a different country song now playing.

Benny quickly looked at me. "Milan's suite is gonna be so fucked up after the party tonight." He loudly cackled as he slowly clapped his hands. "I can't even imagine how bad it's gonna get."

"I know." I sighed as I looked back at the pool. "I don't really know how to feel yet. For some reason, I'm both scared and excited. I just don't want it to end up like the bonfire. I was so reckless and just really gross that night. It brought up so many problems for me and I don't ever want it to happen again."

"I can kinda relate." Benny shrugged as he pulled up his sleeves to quickly touch the water. "I just wanna end up hella trashy tonight. I know that sounds so bad and I know I'm 21 and gotta act my age, but I just don't give a single fuuuck!" He loudly let out, making me playfully roll my eyes.

"There's no bushes around here for you to wake up in." I dramatically let out as if it was the end of the world. "Who knows what might happen to you Benny?"

Benny just smiled. "Hopefully end up with Keanu rearranging these organs, ya feel?" My mouth rapidly dropped as we proceeded to explode out in complete laughter.

"You're too crazy!" I let out, Milan's voice coming up behind us.

"Guys, Cadence is here!" He bubbly announced as we all quickly went inside the suite again.

My mouth couldn't help but drop as I watched Cadence and Rama proceed to bring in huge plastic bags of the devil's lettuce closer to us. "Hey babes!" Cadence saluted. "Where's this lounge you're talking about Mil?"

He looked definitely livelier for some reason. His skin wasn't the usual pale as hints of pink now complimented his face and his chiseled arms through the shirt that he was wearing.

Milan kept his smile as the smell began to definitely roam around the suite. "Follow me guys!" He instructed.

Benny and I stood still as he just looked at me. "That is a whole another mess I'm not trying to deal with." He quickly got closer towards me with a serious look. "You told me you wasn't ever gonna do it again so don't be dumb tonight." He reminded.

I quickly nodded my head. "Y-yea, of course." I breathed as he moved back away. "I'm gonna be really responsible tonight, I promise!"

Music shook the walls of the suite as the sun began to set. There was already an overwhelmingly amount of people here and it's not even night time yet.

I breathed deeply as I waited for Jesse. He hasn't responded to any of my texts or calls and I was getting a bit worried if he was still gonna show up.

It's not like I'd be angry if he didn't show up or anything, I just wish he would at least text me on what he's planning to do.

Communication is important.

My body brushed against countless bodies of people as I walked my way towards Benny who was in a small group with Keanu, Andrew, and Leo.

"Micah!" Benny exclaimed through the music. "Where's Jesse?" He asked, smiling as he downed a shot.

"I don't know, he hasn't repli-" My eyes slightly widened as Benny interrupted me with a randomly loud laugh. "Replied yet." I inaudibly murmured underneath my breath as I just sighed.

Keanu offered me a shot as I quickly declined with my head. "You sure?" He asked.

"Yea." I nodded, looking around the huge groups of people I had no clue even existed.

Benny took full control of the music as it made some people start to dance. Each song passing made me realize how quick the sun diminished, making the night finally taking over.

There was all of a sudden a large influx of incredibly attractive guys, their eyes enticingly checking out some of the people brushing against them. They weirdly resembled a boy band a lot and I didn't know how to feel.

I felt like my ears we're going to pop as I just awkwardly sat next to Keanu and Benny, completely being third wheeled.

I glanced down at my phone to check if Jesse texted-nothing. I sighed, burying my phone back into my pocket.

"Micah!" I hear Benny exclaim beside me, moving over Keanu to make me hear him better. "It's a party and you look like a frail old woman who's going through menopause!"

I remained quiet as I looked down. He's right. What the hell am I even doing? Why am I sitting here being so depressed about nothing?

It's a party not a funeral!

I threw him a small smile. "I need a drink!"

Benny's eyes dramatically widened as he was visibly intoxicated now, but not too much. "Let's go!" I quickly grabbed onto his hand as he smirked at Keanu. "We'll be right back! You better not play some garbage ass music!" Keanu retuned the smirk with a nod.

Benny and I passed by a lot of people as a couple of eyes were following me for some reason. It was very awkward.

A sharp exhale quickly left my mouth as my other hand was rapidly grabbed, making Benny turn back and see why I had to stop walking.

My eyes then landed on a guy I have never seen before in my life. "Wanna dance with me?" He cooed, his hand still grabbing onto mine.

He had messy light brown hair and his eyes were a gorgeous hue of deep green. His face had a few freckles as he smelled like the artificial flavors that Cadence would usually smoke through his vape.

"Honey he's straight, sorry!" Benny horribly lied as he slurred out his words, painfully pulling me away. "He's a pussy addict!" The guy pouted as we continued to walk towards the drinks.

I couldn't help but laugh at how random that was as we finally reached a table. I watched Benny gather a bunch of bottles close as he danced to himself. "You look like you know what you're doing." I smiled brightly as I watched him quickly put together a weird shot that were different liquids.

"Drink my child!" He cheered as he handed me a filled shot glass.

I quickly took it, my eyes squinting at the potent taste of alcohol. "You're not gonna drink?" I asked.

"I am, but not from that tiny ass glass." He responded, my eyes widening the second he stuffed his mouth with the bottle. "Here." He poured me more as I quickly took it, hissing.

Benny laughed at my funny facial expressions as I began to speak. "I don't think Jesse is coming." I blurted out.

"He still hasn't texted you?" Benny asked, putting the bottle momentarily away from his mouth.

"N-no." I bit.

"Is that why you're sad?"

"Yea, little bit."

Benny rolled his eyes as he quickly clicked his mouth. "You know what? I'll tell you what!" I quietly laughed at him visibly getting more and more drunk as he plopped his arms down on the table. "Sometimes, men ain't shit and what you need is yourself!"

"Y-yea I guess you're right." I softly responded.

"What!" Benny asked through the music.

"I guess you're right!" I spoke louder now.

"What?" He asked again as I let out a widened grin.

"You're right!" I screamed, making the both of us laugh together.

After I don't know how many shots, I seemed to struggle to talk to Benny now. "O-one more!" I slightly slurred against the table.

Benny was also intoxicated now too as I loudly gasped at him spilling the alcohol everywhere at the first few seconds of pouring. "Ooo shit, my bad!" He cackled.

After taking my last shot, it felt like my mouth was already numb to the taste and the alcohol started to taste like water. My head slowly rocked side to side as I just grinned to myself.

I began to feel dizzy and I felt like everything around me was starting to move in a spiraled direction. "Let's go dance!" Benny cackled as he threw his hand out.

I struggled to grab onto it as I couldn't help but laugh. "Lets go!"

Just before I could've tried to get up, our attention was quickly stolen by a pair of two guys that were furiously making out. "Holy shit!" Benny loudly cursed, making me wince.

My mouth dropped as I watched Dallas effortlessly carry Milan over the counter and proceed to rock their head against each other, their tongues visibly intertwining.

Holy shit indeed..

I would be lying if I said it didn't look somewhat fun. Seeing Dallas so forceful and more commanding was like seeing a whole different side of him. He's normally so easy to break and easy to treat like a peasant and I'm glad to see him out of that shell.

He looked insanely hot out of it too.

I was jealous of seeing Milan and Dallas feel so good now as Benny tugged onto my arm again. "Micah stop being weird!" He exclaimed, pulling me out of my seat as my eyes couldn't stop looking at them passionately kissing.

Posh would die if he saw this..

Bright flashing lights surrounded us as the sound of music seemed as if it only got louder, if that was even possible.

My vision started to blur as Benny and I ran towards the large groups of people that were going insanely crazy. My numb body started to jump with the other people to the music as seeing Benny so wild made me happy. You know what! I don't need a Jesse! Fuck that mushroom for not texting me back!

Mushroom.

For some reason, mushrooms are actually kinda cute. They look like fat squishy umbrellas and umbrellas are kind people. They offer us shade, they offer dolphins food, and they just help a lot of people who struggle everyday at Target.

Benny and I danced to the music as he swung against to almost everybody around him and he didn't care. This made me not care also.

All of a sudden, a pair of strong arms quickly wrapped around my waist, making me the dance against the mysterious person.

I quickly turned around to see who it was and it was an insanely tall guy I've never met before. His olive tan skin was being beautifully complimented by the flashing lights as taking in his facial features made me begin to feel all mushy inside. "Which Camp you from, I'm from Brazen!?" He smirked as he bit lip at me.

My mouth just slowly dropped at his handsomeness as our bodies rubbed against each other. "You should take this." He whispered against my ear, his finger bringing up a small piece of paper.

"What the heck is this it's just a piece of paper." I couldn't help but laugh out loud as he pulled down my mouth, my eyes not breaking from his gaze.

"You're just going to feel happy as fuck, you'll love it." He smirked as the paper didn't really even do anything in my mouth.

This dude must have been way too fucked up. He probably thought he was giving me gum or something.

I decided to entertain it anyways and chewed on the piece of paper. "Where's yours?" I asked, his hands going around my waist as my hands rubbed against his neck.

"Already took it." He bit his lip, my eyes closing.

I felt genuinely happy and I couldn't explain my exact thoughts and emotions. Everything just slowly started to feel like everything I felt like I've been missing out on my whole life.

I managed to quickly brush off him as I closed my eyes, dancing and feeling the music warmly fill me. It was weird because I don't normally let anyone touch me like that.

The second my mind processed this, I kinda felt uncomfortable over the fact that an absolute stranger that doesn't even know my name just made me chew paper while touching my body.

The second my eyes opened to get away from the music and the people, Benny was definitely on sight.

I mean not on sight.

How do I say that Benny has vanished.

Oh yea, like that.

Benny has vanished!

My body was being thrown against random waves of people as I tried to make my way out of skins that were caging me away from my freedom. I couldn't even think right anymore as the smell of alcohol, colognes, perfumes, food, and sweat mixed together in the atmosphere.

I took a deep breath as I finally reached a dimly lit hallway, my blurred eyes carefully scanning the people passing by me.

All of a sudden, my eyes widened as they landed at Jesse, unexplainable happiness quickly spreading throughout my reckless body. "Hey! You're here!" He threw me a confused smirk as I couldn't help but throw myself at him. "You haven't been answering my texts!" I whined.

He licked his lips as my vision was incredibly blurred but I knew he looked gorgeous. "You have? That's quite odd, I don't remember having your number?"

"Stop acting dumb." I laughed out loud as my hands wrapped around his muscular neck, our eyes meeting. "Your eyes are a lot deeper in color for some reason." I moved my face closer towards him as he quickly moved back.

"Micah, you're drunk, you need to relax." He anxiously chuckled as I continued to whine.

"Jesse I'm literally sober I'm okay!" I exclaimed, trying to meet my lips against his but for some reason he didn't give in.

His cold blue eyes widened at me as he was forced to wrap his hands around my body since I was basically laying all of my weight against him now. "Yea no, you're very drunk, you need to go rest." Just before Jesse could've tried to pull me out the door, I immediately frowned, pulling back. "Micah, come on!" He chuckled.

"I can't leave yet!" I let out. "I-I wanna go upstairs tuh sleep!" I closed my eyes as I nodded my head a bunch of times.

"You love getting fucked up don't you?" He asked softly against my ear as we made our way towards the stairs.

"Not even!" I breathed.

"Yea you do." He enticingly chuckled as he helped me balance myself. "You're lucky I found you. A beautiful boy like you can't just walk around a huge party like this while drunk."

After Jesse and I walked our way upstairs, we began to walk towards rooms to see if they were empty.

The first door we opened exposed a tall built guy with curly brown hair and a bare muscular back, carrying and thrusting into a girl's small body against the wall in a rapid pace.

They were both naked and for some reason, I wasn't really shocked that much.

"Jesus Christ." Jesse rapidly closed the door again as I crinkled my face at him.

"Who would wanna be pinned against the wall like that?" I slurred my words as I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

We finally reached an empty room as Jesse quickly sat me against the edge of the bed, my whole body dropping as my hand tightly held onto his. "Micah, let go." He sternly commanded.

Silence broke out as I just looked at him. He looked genuinely attractive tonight and I couldn't handle it. He looked like a completely different person.

I noticed him begin to prepare to leave as I rapidly pulled him back. "N-no stop! What are you doing!?"

"You're very fucked up again and I have to let you rest." He cautiously let out as our eyes met again.

"What do you mean again?" I awkwardly snickered as I slowly pulled him closer towards me. "S-stop trying to leave, I need to tell you something, come!" I loudly begged.

He deeply sighed as we both now sat at the edge of the bed. "What is it?" He clenched his sharp jaw at me as silence broke out between us.

Sudden heat and desperation for his taste rapidly zoomed through my veins as I plunged my mouth against his.

I felt his whole body tense up as I felt like I was kissing a statue. I then let out a soft moan out of complete happiness as I felt incredibly happy now that he returned the kiss.

My hand aggressively got behind his neck as I pushed him further into me, making his soft warm tongue press inside my mouth. My body broke apart any space left between us as I got on top of him, feeling his arms tightly hold on around me.

I slowly broke away to breathe as I buried my hands against his soft black hair that was slowly becoming blonde for whatever reason. His light blue eyes also started becoming a deeper shade of blue as his reddened mouth kissed my neck.

Jesse tasted like strawberries and I loved every single thing about it.

Huh?

Wait, what?

Strawberries?

I didn't think it was possible but the amount of shock that came over my body now as I snapped my head back to see who I was kissing was able to
