"May, are you almost ready? We want to leave already!" Michael calls from the living room. Michael, Luke, Cora and I are all going to the party together, they're just waiting on me to be ready. I stand in the mirror and take one last look at myself. I'm wearing tight light wash jeans and a black thin strap lace tank top. My hair is curled and two strands are pulled back with a clip. I grab my phone from the charger and walk out into the living room. 

"Alright let's go." I say.

"Finally." Michael groans as he walks out the door with Cora.

I roll my eyes at him as I walk over to put my shoes on. 

"You look sexy as fuck." Luke mumbles into my ear. 

I bite my lip as I turn to look at him.

"Fuck, don't do that or else i'm gonna have to skip the party and go back into your bedroom with you." 

I chuckle as I kiss his neck.

"As amazing as that offer sounds, I actually want to go tonight. For Michael." I say.

"Shall we then?" Luke smiles as he holds his arm out for me to link onto. I laugh as I link my arm onto his and walk downstairs to Cora's car. 

After a short while, we arrive at Calum's house. Just as everyone is stepping out of the car, I speak up.

"Is Brooke going to be here?" I ask.

Cora turns around to face me. "Yeah, of course. Why?" 

I shrug my shoulders as if nothing is wrong. "Just wondering." 

I step out of the car and Luke walks around to my side of the car. He takes my hand in his and squeezes it gently. "Just ignore her tonight, yeah?"

I nod my head. We walk towards the door and Michael opens it without knocking, as usual. Everyone is standing around the beer pong table. I scan my eyes around to small crowd and my eyes lock with Brooke.

"Hey guys!" She says overly cheery as she walks over to us. She gives Cora a hug and then turns to me. "Hey, May!" She says with a smile as she engulfs me in a hug before I can object. I look at Luke and he looks just as surprised as I am. She pulls away from the hug with a smile still plastered on her face.

"Wow. Not even fifteen minutes into the party and you're drunk already?" Cora jokes.

"I'm completely sober, just in a good mood. I have a feeling tonight is going to be a great night." Brooke says as she looks directly at me. My eyes turn into slits as I eye her. I cannot stand her. She is acting completely fake just so I won't tell Cora or anyone else about how much of a bitch she really is. How does she know I haven't told them already? For all she knows, they could all know the truth, but they don't. Except for Luke. 

"Come on, Michael! You're on my team for beer pong." Cora says as she takes my brother's hand and leads him over to the table. 

"Is it flip cup?" Michael asks. 

"Yeah, bro!" Ashton says, clearly already drunk.

"Nice! Luke, you're on our team!" Michael says as he waves Luke over. 

"May, you're on ours!" Calum says.

Luke looks over at me and I nod in confirmation, silently telling him it's fine. He hesitantly walks over to the table and stands on one side of the table with Michael, Cora, and another boy I don't know. 

I begin to walk over to the table when Brooke grabs my forearm. I turn back to face her with my eyebrows furrowed. 

"Just so you know, you might have came here with Luke, but I intend on going home with him." She sneers. "Yay, beer pong!" She changes her mood and walks over to the table.

My mouth is wide open as I am completely appalled and pissed off by what she said.  

"Come on, May!" Ashton says. 

I walk over to the table and stand beside Calum, Ashton and fucking Brooke. Why did I have to get stuck on her team? Two other girls are standing around beside Brooke. They look up at me with disgusted looks on their faces, obviously friends of Brooke's.

"Hi, I'm May." I smile at them. I decide to try an opposite approach. Maybe being nice to the girls will benefit me more than being mean just because of Brooke and I's drama.

"Okay.." One girl with bleach blonde hair says as she rolls her eyes.

"Oh come on, don't be rude." Brooke says very fake. "May, this is Ava and Harper." 

"Nice to meet you both." I say, trying to sound as nice and genuine as possible.

"Whatever." Harper says.

Luke looks at me with an eyebrow raised, obviously confused as to why i'm being nice to girls who are being complete bitches to me. I groan before the game begins.

-

Before I know it, almost everyone is drunk, including me. Luke and I agreed that we both wouldn't get drunk tonight, but things took a turn. I needed a drink to take the edge off, but one drink turned into twenty. 

"I'm bored of beer pong. Let's do something else." Michael groans.

"Like what?" Cora slurs. 

"How about truth or dare?" Brooke says with a smirk. 

I look at her and narrow my eyes. "Sounds good to me." I fake smile back.

"I don't know if that's such a good idea I mean-" Luke begins before I cut him off.

"We're playing." I say before I walk over to the couch, everyone following.

We all sit down and countless rounds are played. Most dares are just uncreative ones to take shots, except for Calum who got dared to keep his shirt off for the next ten rounds. 

"Luke, truth or dare?" Brooke asks.

"Uh, dare I guess." He says as he takes a sip of his beer.

"I dare you to kiss any girl here who's single." She smiles.

"But you're the only girl here who's single." I interject.

"I have a girlfriend." Luke says.

"It's just a dare. And Ava and Harper are single too." Brooke says.

"I don't give a shit. Pick another dare or ask someone else." Luke huffs. 

Brooke rolls her eyes. "It's not like your girlfriend's anything special." She says, eyeing me up and down.

Luke crushes his beer cup in his hand. Beer goes all over the floor but no one seems to notice at the moment. Everyone is just staring wide eyed at Brooke after what she just said. I'm not really bothered by it since she's said worse about me, but I don't want her to start involving everyone else in our drama. 

"Don't fucking start." Luke warns.

Everyone turns their attention to Luke. Some people notice the beer on the floor, but no one is willing to speak up.

"I just don't know what you see in her. I mean, you had me and you go for her instead?" Brooke says, sounding disgusted as she refers to me.

"Brooke!" Cora shouts. "What the fuck is the matter with you?"

"I'm just telling it like it is. Luke had me, and he ended it for her." 

I roll my eyes. "One hookup that Luke doesn't even remember doesn't count as you 'having' him." I say, putting air quotes on 'having'. 

Brooke snickers. "Oh please. Is that what he told you? That it was only one time and he doesn't remember it? Honey, I can assure you he's remembered every single time." She smirks. 

I furrow my eyebrows and turn to Luke. "What is she talking about?" I ask him.

"She's fucking lying! I told you I don't even remember hooking up with her, I wasn't in my right mind! But it couldn't have been more than once, I swear!" Luke says.

"No, it's true. I was at multiple parties they were at when they hooked up." Harper says.

"What the fuck?! I've never seen you in my life! May, they're lying!" Luke yells.

"They practically dated for a few months. Right before summer. Right before you came into town." Ava says.

"Oh cut the crap! Luke wasn't dating anybody!" Michael finally steps in.

"How would you know? You're always too busy with your tongue down Cora's throat the realize anything going on around you. Besides, it was a secret. We never told anyone that we were together. Luke, you don't have to lie about it. What's done is done, no hard feelings." Brooke says with a smile.

"No hard feelings over what?! I've never dated you in my life. I can't even stand to be in the same room as you!" Luke stands up and screams. 

I truthfully don't know what to believe. I want to believe Luke, but how can three people all be saying the same thing. Maybe it's all because Brooke wants Luke to herself. That's got to be it. She wants me to get mad over all of this. That way Luke and I will fight, and she'll try to make her way in and get Luke. Not going to happen. 

"I honestly don't know what you're trying to achieve here. You want Luke all for yourself, is that it? Well, after that note you gave me you've made it pretty clear that you want my boyfriend. Well i'm sorry, but he would never be with such a stuck up bitch like you." I raise my voice. I know I usually wouldn't say something so mean but with all the liquor in my system, I can't help it.

Everyone turns to look at me. "What note?" Cora asks. I feel bad for Cora right now that she's finding out what a terrible person her best friend truly is, but she would find out sooner or later.

I stand up and walk over to my purse. I unzip the small pocket in the front and pull out the now wrinkled paper. I unfold it and walk back over to the group. I hand the note to Cora as I sit back on the couch. She takes it and reads it, with her eyes wide. She looks over at Brooke and shakes her head slightly.

"Who are you?" She chokes out.

"What is that?" Brooke asks innocently. 

"You know what it is." I say.

"I truthfully don't." She says. Cora hands her the note and she reads it. "What the hell? I never wrote this!" 

I jump to my feet. "Bullshit you fucking liar!"

"That's not even my hand writing. And why would I even write that? What Luke and I had ended before summer even started." Brooke says.

Luke rolls his eyes. "Oh my god we never had anything." He doesn't even seem mad anymore, he just seems extremely annoyed with all these lies, as am I. 

"I didn't want to do this, but you brought it on yourself. I won't be made out to be a liar." She says as she pulls her phone out of her back pocket.

"What are you on about?" Luke groans.

"I guess May needs a little convincing that you're the liar here, not me." Brooke says. 

"What the fuck are you even talking about, Brooke?" Michael asks.

Brooke takes a long pause as she smirks. "I have proof."
