Natalia walked down the stairs of Rebeca's house and saw Ander sitting on his own. She sat next to him and smiled "Why the long face?"

Ander looked up and sighed "Look at what I'm wearing. That'll answer your question."

Natalia looked at his golden shorts and smiled "I think you look great." Ander smirked at her "You're just saying that to be nice. I look like a male stripper."

Natalia laughed and Ander smiled at her "You look great, by the way, Lara Croft." Natalia slightly blushed "Thank you very much." She was currently wearing a Lara Croft costume with her hair also in two braids.

Ander poured Natalia a cup of vodka and passed it to her "Thanks. Is anyone else here yet?"

Natalia was cut off by a boy talking behind Ander "You've poured out the whole bottle."

Natalia looked at the boy and smiled "You must be Omar. I've heard a lot about you."

She then put her hand out "I'm Natalia but you can call me Talia. I'm Ander's friend."

Omar smiled and shook her hand. Natalia squinted her eyes and looked at their outfits "Rocky Horror Show, right?"

Omar's eyes widened "Finally! Someone that knows their musicals!"

Natalia laughed and stood up "I'll catch up with you guys later." Rebeca then walked past the three with Samuel and looked at Omar with a frown "If being so feminine freaks you out, take a look at your friend."

Samuel scoffed "Fucking hell." Natalia quickly caught up with Rebeca as she rushed over to the dancefloor "Hey, Rebe." Rebeca turned around and smiled "Thank god you're here! I was beginning to think you weren't gonna turn up."

Natalia tossed her hair "I made you a promise remember." Rebeca nodded and rolled her eyes "I'm so bored. Wanna play a game?" Natalia nodded and Rebeca started to shout "Come on, let's change the music." The music was cut off.

She walked over to a throne and looked and made the boy that was sitting on it to move.

She sat down in it and Natalia sat on a chair next to it "We need to get plastered to get everyone dancing properly. So we're going to play a game of 'Never have I ever'"

Cayetana sat down and scoffed "Come on! Really? How old are we? Ten?"

Rebeca smirked at her "You're going to have a hell of a time, babe, believe me."

She then looked at the group of teenagers "You all know how to play? One person says what they have never done and anyone who has done it has to drink."

Lu shrugged "We're going to get well wasted, then. I'm sure we've done it all. You tell me, baby."

Rebeca scowled at her "Even better, baby, that way we'll get to know each other faster." As the two bickered,

Natalia looked around the room and saw Valerio sitting on a horse in the air. She playfully rolled her eyes and continued with the game "Never have I ever been poor. And since I have, I have to drink."

Natalia hadn't been poor in her life and so she didn't drink. She then noticed Rebeca continuously staring at Cayetana but chose to ignore it.

Rebeca smirked "I have another question. I think some of you are not being honest. Never have I ever...cleaned someone else's house."

Lu rolled her eyes "Boring! I have a better one. Never have I ever slept with my best friend's boyfriend."

Natalia shook her head at Lu as her comment brought back memories of her finding out that Lu had kissed Valerio when they were together but chose to forgive her.

Natalia stood up and walked over to the punch bowl. She suddenly felt sick to her stomach and so she poured herself a cup of spiked punch and downed it.

"Steady there, Lara." She finished the cup and turned around "What do you want, Valerio?"

He smirked at the girl and leaned on the wall next to him "I'm loving the shorts especially."

Valerio started checking her out and Natalia rolled her eyes "Can I help you?" Valerio shook his head "No, I'm just having a friendly conversation with you."

Natalia scoffed "We've never had a friendly conversation, Valerio. It's only ever been flirting or crying with each other."

Valerio rubbed his neck "Can I ask you a serious question?"

Natalia nodded and he continued "Why won't you give me another chance?"

Natalia thought for a second and then played with her ring "I've had my heart broken enough. I don't wanna have to go through it again. And you can promise me that you won't but you said that last time and you left me here. I just wanna be on my own, okay?"

Valerio sighed "You know, after I left...I was in a really bad place. I started taking more drugs and alcohol because all I could think about was you. What we had was special and I didn't wanna lose it."

Natalia put her cup down "Well, you have. I wanna give you a chance, I really do...but I don't wanna go through this again."

Natalia walked past Valerio and bumped into a sad Guzmán "What's wrong?" Guzmán looked at Natalia and scratches his head "Lu and I just broke up...because I slept with Nadia."

Natalia's eyes widened "Is she okay?" Guzmán huffed "I don't know, she slapped me and stormed off before I could explain myself. She was upset, though. I guess it was a lot to take in." Natalia nodded and went to go and find Lu.

Natalia reached the bathroom and saw Lu looking at herself in the mirror.

Natalia knocked on the half-opened door and Lu immediately wiped her tears away "Hey, Talia."

She walked into the bathroom and closed the door "Guzmán told me what happened. Are you okay?"

Lu looked down "He's an asshole. I can't believe he cheated on me."

Natalia walked over to her "Me neither. You don't deserve this." Lu looked up and looked at Natalia with pity "I never apologised for what I did to you all those years ago."

Natalia was taken back by Lu's comment and she continued "I loved my brother in a way that I shouldn't and I knew that you two were together but I did it anyway."

Natalia raised her eyebrows and tried to forget about Lu's comment "I-I need to go."

Natalia ran out of the room and the music suddenly started to play again. She decided to go outside and have some fresh air. She reached a bench outside and sat down. She rested her elbows on the bench and put her head in her hands.

She was already tired and for the first time it wasn't because of how many drinks she had.

Natalia looked up at many teenagers scattered around the backyard and then noticed a guy in a Michael Myers mask walking towards her.

He sat down in front of her "It's me, Nano. Follow me." Nano stood up and Natalia followed him. Nano led her into a secluded part of the house where no one was.

Nano took off his mask and Natalia's eyes widened "What the hell are you doing here? Guzmán is going to kill you."

Nano scoffed "I'm not worried about him. He doesn't scare me." Natalia tilted her head "Well you should. Grief makes you do terrible things."

Nano frowned "I need you to tell me where Rebeca is." Natalia rolled her eyes "I don't know, Nano. She's probably inside like everyone else. Why do you need her so badly?"

Nano didn't answer and put his mask back on. He then walked off causing Natalia to groan "Whatever." Natalia pulled out her phone and called a Cabify. Her night was definitely over.
