A week. 7 entire days passed and I hadn't spoken to Reece once. We had been completely avoiding each other. He never showed up for lunch and would usually just ditch any lessons we had together. One time, we were both there for maths but we didn't speak a word to each other and he just spent the entire lesson looking the other way. When the bell rang, he was gone before anyone else even stood up.

On the plus side, Amber was expelled and the others hadn't bothered me once. I had seen Jackson, Brad and Chloe around school but they surprisingly just left me alone. Mona was seen with some new friends which was nice.

I'll be honest, I missed him so much. I missed how we would just fuck about in maths not listening to anything Mr Harvey was saying. I missed pissing Jake off in chemistry and most of all I just missed hanging with him. Jake had no idea what was going on and said he'd hardly spoken to Reece all week either. I pretended to have no idea and had to come up with an excuse not to go to Reece's house with him. I felt guilty lying to him but I didn't want to admit it. Obviously, Jodie knew but I made her promise not to say anything.

I didn't realise how much of an effect Reece had on me until it was gone. I had spent most evenings just hanging out with Cole and Jodie to take my minds off things. They were supportive and tried to make me feel better about everything but it wasn't helping.

I was more frustrated than anything. I was mad at him so much. He was the one who kissed me, he was the one who ran off and called it a mistake. He was the one who made it awkward by avoiding me and not speaking to me. Admittedly, I began avoiding him too but only because of how he acted. He must have hated the kiss so much to act like that.

Smacking my head against my dressing table, I groaned once again. What made things ten times worse is I couldn't get him out of my head no matter how hard I tried. It felt like a breakup but so much worse because I didn't even know what was going on.

I didn't know if we would ever be friends again.

We weren't drunk, we were both completely sober so it wasn't like we could even call it a drunk mistake. It happened for a reason but that reason I was unsure of.

Was it because we were both happy and just got carried away or was it because it meant something?

"Fuck sake Sam, stop thinking about it." I muttered as I applied some mascara to my lashes. Today was Cole's birthday and Cole being Cole was throwing a massive party at his house. I didn't really feel like going but he was my best friend and I couldn't ever miss his birthday because of some problem I was having.

Jodie was already there as I told her not to wait for me. I had already given Cole his present this morning at school so I didn't have to bother bringing it to his party. Finishing off my makeup, I stood up and rummaged through my closet for an outfit. Deciding on a dark green dress that ended mid-thigh, I paired it with some black short heels and I was done.

Grabbing my black jacket, I thrust it on and picked up my bag, jogging downstairs. "I'm going!" I called out to my dad who then appeared from around the corner. He smiled lightly at me. "You look nice, say happy birthday to Cole for me."

I said a quick thankyou and nodded before jogging out to my car. I drove the short journey to Cole's before parking my car around the corner from his house. His road was filled with dozens of cars so the next road was the closest space I could find. Exiting my car, I briskly walked over to his house and my eyes widened at how many people were here.

The front door was already open and the party was in complete full swing. Cole was pretty popular and had many friends so it was no surprise that the house was full of people. I froze in place when I spotted Reece in the corner talking to some girls. Thankfully, he didn't see me as I turned away and went into another room.

I took a deep breath and bit my lip to stop a tear from escaping. Seeing him with other girls hurt way more than I cared to admit. Shaking my head to clear the thoughts, I made my way to the kitchen to pour myself a drink.

May as well get drunk to take my mind off him.

I had to get over him some point and may as well start now. "There you are!" Cole smiled brightly as I turned to give him a quick hug. He frowned. "I was beginning to think you wouldn't show."

I rolled my eyes, playfully pushing him which he staggered back. I was guessing he was pretty drunk already. "Of course I would show you idiot." I smiled.

He grinned back as he grabbed my drink and downed it. Chuckling, I poured us both another one before we quickly downed it and he grabbed my arm. "Come on." He pulled me into the living room where Jodie was stood talking to Belle.

"Sam!" Belle beamed as she ran over to hug me and I hugged her back. I was shocked when I saw Izzy standing next to her.

"Hey!" I grinned as I pulled her into a tight hug.

"I can't believe we went swimming in the sea." She laughed loudly as I returned it. Jodie, Cole and Belle gave us a questioningly look as I quickly explained what happened. The three burst out laughing.

We spent the next hour just chatting, drinking and dancing with each other. I stood with Belle as we watched with amusement at Izzy and Jake trying to dance with each other. Cole and Jodie had disappeared upstairs a while ago and I think we all knew what they were up to up there.

Shuddering at the thought of my two best friends since childhood having sex, I downed another shot with Belle. I was smiling and laughing until I spotted Reece again. His eyes caught mine as my smile dropped. Belle looked confused but as she was drunk just started dancing again. Reece stood there staring at me as a girl was on his arm whispering something in his ear.

I glared at him. Two can play this game.

Turning around, I found the nearest guy and smiled sweetly at him. He smiled back as I grabbed his hands and placed them on my hips. The guy's eyes were full of lust as I turned around and danced with my back to him.

I pushed my back against him as his hands rested on my waist. Reece's jaw clenched from across the room as he turned around and pulled the girl beside him and placed his hands on her ass. She giggled as she tried leading him off but he shook his head, whispering something to her. She nodded and threw her hands around his neck, closing the space in-between them as she began kissing his neck.

Angrily, I turned around grabbed the back of his head and pulled the guy in for a kiss. His hands travelled down to my ass but I didn't stop him. He kissed me back straight away and the kiss felt sloppy and I wasn't liking a second of it but I didn't stop. I turned us around but didn't break the kiss as I watched as Reece glared at us. He then also pulled the girl in for a kiss and stared at me as he was kissing her.

The guy leaned back from the kiss and began to kiss my neck and that's when I realised what I was doing was wrong. I wasn't enjoying this for a second and the only reason I was doing it was to piss Reece off. I watched as he said something to the girl and lead her out of the room. I fought back tears as I gently pushed the boy off me.

He gave me a confused look. "I'm sorry, I can't." I whispered before running off. I pushed through the crowd and the second I got outside, the tears began to fall.

"I'm so pathetic." I cried as I stormed down the road towards god knows where.

I was drunk and wasn't aware of where I was going. "What the fuck was that Sam?" I yelled to myself in the empty street as I booted the pavement.

I didn't know where this road lead to but I carried on walking. "Why is he such a dick!" I hissed as I slumped down on the pavement. The area was pretty dark apart from the low street lights.

"Why do I let him get to me?" I murmured as I cradled my head in my hands. Through the crack of my fingers, I spotted a strange figure across from me. It was rather large with what looked like a rock in his hand.

My eyes widened as I dropped my bag and started running. In the corner of my eye, I saw the figure right behind me and before I knew it I felt a sharp pain to the back of my head.

And then all I saw was black
