Where I Want to Be ::Two::

Artie's house is huge. It's a three story house, it has like six bedrooms. When we get into the house, there is a band playing. They sound awesome! Whoever is singing has the best voice, soft yet deep. People were everywhere. It was hard to get in. A guy nearly elbowed me in the eye. While another push me against the wall. I wish I was taller.
"Oh my god," Lauren shrieked. "There he is."
"Who," I asked. I looked around, I didn't see anyone.
"Seth, he is the lead singer of the band," Alley said.
"He dropped out of high school, so he could be in his band full time," Lauren said.
"Every girl wants him," Liz said. "But I'm getting him," she flipped her hair and started walking toward the crowd
"I don't see him," I said.
"You'll see him later. Come on lets go get a drink," Lauren said as she dragged me to the kitchen.
In the kitchen there was a huge keg. No way am I drinking. I like to have control of my actions. Lauren handed me the cup. I looked at it, I really didn't want to drink, but one cup won't hurt right?
"Hey Lauren," A voice called.
"Hey," Lauren answered blushing.
I turn around to see who was making her blush. No one really makes her blush. I mean she's really pretty. She makes guys blush. Right that second I really wished I hadn't turned around. It was the same guy from the bus stop. He was smiling at me. He was going to say something. I walked away and drank until the cup was empty. This sucks the one party I have been at since forever, and this jerk has to be here. I couldn't find Liz or Alley anywhere. I went back into the kitchen, Lauren wasn't there anymore. I pour myself another drink. This is the last one I'm drinking, I promised myself.

Maybe I had a little more to drink that I promised myself. I looked everywhere for Lauren, Liz or Alley. I couldn't find them anywhere. Why would they ditch me? They are supposed to be my best friends. I walked toward where the band was playing. I wanted to see if the lead singer was really as hot as everyone keeps saying. I tried to get closer but I couldn't. I'm never going to see him. Not that I care, really. I mean I can't even date. Not that he wants to date me or anything. We haven't even met.
"You look hot!" It was the guy from the bus stop. He was obviously drunk.
"Leave me alone," I said trying to walk away from him. He grabbed me by the waist and pulled me closer toward him, "Let me go."
He started kissing my neck, "You're so hot"
"Ewe, get away from me," I pushed him off. He stumbled back and fell onto a girl. I started laughing and walked away.

I went outside, because the whole room started spinning, I felt like I was going to throw up, this was defiantly not a good sign. I still couldn't find them anywhere; it's like if they disappeared from the face of the earth. I nearly jumped when I felt a vibration in my pocket. Then laughed when I realized it was just my cell phone. The music had stopped, which I found strange. I quickly answer my cell, before the music starts up again.
"Hello?" I answered, trying to sound half way normal.
"Elyse? What are you doing?" Mom demanded.
I cleared my throat. "Nothing mom, we are just watching a couple of movies."
"They better not be rated R."
"No, mom strictly PG-13," I inform her. I winced as the music started again. Loud really loud, but this time it wasn't the band. It was some Top 40 crap. I moved farther away from the house.
"Good, now I'm going to bed, and I suggest you do the same." She said. "I'll call you in the morning before I pick you up."
I was so glad, that the conversation was short. I just hope she doesn't suspect anything.
"There you are," It was Lauren. She was running toward me. "Come on," she took my hand and dragged me inside again.
 
We went up to the third floor, which was strictly off limits according to the signs. "Lauren, it's off limits here," I told her.
"Shh," she said. "Not for us."
We went into a room, which was sort of a living room. There were couches and a TV. Alley, Liz, and around five guys were in there. Lauren introduced me to Artie, and some other guys. I already forgot their names, but there was one person I would never forget. Seth. Yeah he's cute and all, but there was something about him. Like the way he was just staring into space, like he wasn't here at all. The way he would just close his eyes for no reason, whenever he would say something to one of this friends, it would come out all meaningful, but really wasn't. His voice, whenever he talked, it makes you want to melt. I didn't want to look at him for too long, because I know that if I do I won't be able to stop staring.
I was only half listening to their conversation. All I know is that I was starting to get that sick feeling again. I really need to stop drinking, but I need to enjoy this. It's probably the last time I will ever be at a party. I asked Artie where the bathroom was, he showed me where it was. I looked at myself on the mirror. The girl staring back wasn't me at all. I don't wear make-up. I washed my face, washing off all the make-up. I let my hair down then ran my fingers through it a couple of times. When I got back half of the people were gone. Alley, Liz, and some of the guys left. Seth was still there, and some guy who I think is name Kevin, or Kenny, or Kyle. Lauren was sitting on the couch; I sat down next to her.
"You need to stop drinking," she told me.
"Why, this is probably the last time my mom will ever let me go out," I said. "If she finds out, she will lock me in the basement and never let me out."
"By the way, she called when you were in the bathroom. Don't worry I covered for you," she held up my cell. I thought it was in my skirt's pocket.
I put my head on her shoulder. "I hate my life. I want to go out on a date. I want a boyfriend," I complained. The truth comes out with alcohol.
"I'll go out with you," Kyle/Kenny/Kevin said.
"I don't like you," I told him. I talked about more things that made absolutely no sense, until everyone came back.
Everyone was laughing, drinking, and having a good time. I just wanted some peace and quiet. My head was starting to hurt; the room was sort of spinning again. Maybe it's just because everyone is running around. I sneaked out, no one noticed, at least I thought no one noticed.
I found a room with a bed. I really needed to lie down. I felt really sick, the room wouldn't stop spinning. It felt like there was a war going on inside of my stomach. It was my first time drinking, I had no idea what to do. Someone came in by that point I was so wasted, that I had no idea who it was. All I know is that it was a guy, he asked me if I was okay. I remember him holding my hair as I threw up, and that's about all I remember.


I woke up; I was in Liz's room. I had no idea how I got there. My head was throbbing in pain. I was still wearing the clothes from yesterday.
"Good to see you are awake," Liz said standing over me.
"What happened last night," I asked.
She smiled, "Well you should be dying of embarrassment right now. You threw up all over Seth."
"Seth, who's that," I asked. Everything came back to me. Seth was the band guy, the one with the gorgeous blue eyes and dark brown hair. He was the one with the incredible voice, and magnificent smile. "Oh right." I said after a while.
"We all thought you had alcohol poisoning, until you started singing, The Beatles song, Hey Jude," she laughing. "It was hilarious. Seth had to carry you to the car, then you started singing another Beatles song, I can't remember what it's called; across the something."
"Across the Universe, I love that song."
"You should be dying of embarrassment right now," She demanded trying to be serious.
I shrugged. "It's not like I'm ever going to see him again."
