“Its like the crowd itself is pulsing. I dont know this place and for once at a party I feel unnatural. I dont know where the guys went and I try pushing through the crowd when Dallas grabs my hand and leads me to what seems like a kitchen. Drinks are in here wild child. I grin. Thanks. No thank you for that little show out there. I laughed shly. What can I say the rush gets to me sometimes. Yeah well what do you like to drink?? Vodka straight please. I walked around the counter and stood by him. While waiting for him to get my drink I caught sight of Stark, Heath and some other guy hanging on a couch in the main room. I lean on the counter watching when some blonde came up behind the couch where Stark was. Dallas sat a bottle of vodka in my view I stood up straight just to see the blonde put her arms around Stark and kiss his cheek. I turned to face Dallas. I could feel my face heat up with jealousy and anger. Were just friends I repeated to myself.”
