The morning after was brutal.

I woke up to my parents yelling in the kitchen. I could hear them clearly with these paper thin walls. My head was pounding and I couldn't find my phone where I thought I left it which was usually under my pillow. I had the strongest migraine I think that i've ever had in my life and I felt like chunks of moments from yesterday were blurred and taken out of my head.

I moved my head slowly lifting it from my pillow and looking over at my alarm clock. I squinted my eyes to try to make out what time it was.
1:45pm
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jFuor45PZ
I let out deep breath and fully sat up and leaned my back against the wall. I held my forehead as if that was supposed to help my migraine go away but it just got worse from the pressure I was putting on it. I opened my dresser next to me and grabbed the Advil in there and took 3 and dry swallowed them.

I started looking for my phone realizing that It wasn't in my bed. I looked by the table next to my closet and saw it sitting there charging. Weird.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnivUGyejkU
I got up and grabbed my phone and laid back on the bed. I should probably call Sarah and Jordan. They have given me their numbers when we were getting ready and we made a little group chat. I face-timed the group chat and almost immediately they both answered.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIraa6ggfu
"Hey girls I'm so sorry I didn't tell you guys I was leaving and I should've called or texted but I was so drunk I couldn't even function."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSZG8jsoiy
They both looked at me a little confused.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQb123RK8Q
"We know you made it safe because you texted us last night. You probably just don't remember."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzrMEWlpyc
I did?
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhamLHoUEJw
"I did?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgFWbRlFX4
"Yeah you said you got a ride and made it back safely and told us not to worry."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVvjdS1OvS
I went to the home screen of my phone immediately and pressed our group messages.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuII95ceIg3
"I got a ride back to my house I've made it safe, don't worry."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XUZVT6oqq
I don't exactly remember sending that message but it's on the screen so I must be crazy.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK493h7SWuE
"So do you guys want to do something today?" Jordan asked changing the subject.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZBr8pR3nu
"I can't, I have piano then after I have to babysit my cousins the rest of the day."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD5xDZ8oI1
"What about you Vee are you free today?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0BP3UK9rX
"Yeah I should be."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwpivnCHX8
"Great! we can hang out at yours or mine."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMyMzw5EaZ
"Let's hang out at your dorm, I think it's cooler." I lied.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yOIOwPNsW
Jordan just nodded and we all hung up and I got up and got ready to go over there. Id have to take the bus over today because my parents probably wouldn't want to take me so far away on their off day.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSYsm5IycH
I left my room and stepped into the living room slowly to feel out the atmosphere. I heard my parents stop talking and they both turned to me.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaPKeNpM47
"Vee where the fuck have you been?" My dad stood up and yelled when he saw me. "Your mom has been up worried sick about you all night thinking you got killed out there? You know how dangerous it is around here to be out at night?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1327bH9Qj
"Yea-"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0DsjkNDE1
"Then you have some fucking boy coming in bringing you inside like your some piece of trash. You're outside being a fucking whore while we work hard to get you into a nice school the least you can do is come home on time."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81mlTiKWJb
Before I could apologize me dad continued yelling, his voice echoed over the house so loud I bet the neighbors could hear it. My mom was sitting there quietly as he was shouting at me getting closer with every word. She didn't look at me or him she just looked down as the ground with watery eyes.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGLDWHm7Gs
"Answer me!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNasMHmg51N
Now he was only a few inches away and he was shouting in my face with his hot breath that smelled like Newports and whiskey. He raised his hand and slapped my face so hard I lost my balance and almost fell to the ground. I touched the place where he had slapped me. I felt my eyes water but I held it together because I didn't want to give him another reason to get upset at me.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8b1obBesA
I looked up to glance at my mom just sitting there letting this all happen. She was now crying and I could see she was exhausted and broken. I knew that she couldn't really do anything or she'd get hit too but I wanted her to try. Make an effort to help me. She just sat there and cried.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P9RwxqpiS
"You're grounded." He said and walked off grabbing his keys and phone off the table. He walked out the front door slamming it closed shaking the whole house. I stood there still in shock, staring at the door he'd left from hoping he'd never come back. My mom got up and went to her room silently crying not saying a word to me or even looking at me.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGQgHOJdqd
I sighed and sat on the floor looking at the ceiling leaning my head against the wall. I felt my phone buzz and looked down to see Jordan had texted me.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiPpU1gsQp
Hey babe let me know when you get here. I wanna go get a pedicure!! xoxo - Jordan
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrydYjl9YyJ
I sighed. I guess I shouldn't go. I don't want to get into anymore trouble. Plus I shouldn't go out with a bruise on my face people might get the wrong idea.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge7xDdDTRf
Hey, sorry something came up last minute. Rain check? <3 - Vee
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCekSbZ6hE0
She answered back within seconds.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBsD8uJ3fj
If you're going to go hang out with that mysterious man just say that. Have fun but not too much fun (jk) - Jordan
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mILcsSZj5
I took a deep breath trying to hold back tears from my cheek burning. I was trying to figure out what mysterious boy she was talking about. I wasn't sure but I just let it go. My head started hurting again and I got up and went to lay back down in my room. I wanted to sleep the whole day away and pretend today just didn't happen.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiigqbvQfTH
I took a nap until it was dark outside. I didn't know I slept that long I must've been exhausted. I grabbed my phone and checked if anyone messaged me. I had a missed call from Jordon 2 hours ago and a text from her asking me if I was ok. I texted her back briefly explaining that I needed a recovery day after last night.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBQq6KMTeN
I scrolled through instagram for a couple hours liking random pictures of people from my explore page. My phone buzzed and I saw that Jordan had sent me a dm. She sent me someone's account and I pressed on it to reveal that it was Ian's. He had almost 3 thousand followers and only followed like 10 people. Holy shit.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLBPsdgOw5
Immediately after she sent me his instagram page she rang the group chat. I answered the call to see Jordan laying in her bed with red led lights on in the background. "Ughh Ian is so hot, did you see that he posted a new photo?!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmYg9iHsKF
"No I haven't seen you literally just sent me his page like 3 milliseconds ago."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0InaTulItP
"Go check right now!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu8PDcxZS4
I opened up his account again and refreshed his page. He only had 4 photos, well now he had 5. Most of his photos were pictures of him in a group an his first upload was a mural that I was guessing he painted. None of them were of him alone until his most recent photo. It was a mirror picture of him smiling with nothing not black sweats. He was tall and built and the picture showed his sculpture like body and his perfect set of teeth. I noticed he had a little mole on his cheek as-well and it showed very well in his picture. His long brown hair looked damp and his face had a bit of water droplets on it. He didn't even have a caption on the photo.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GQvczddwL
"Woah." He looked really good I can't even lie.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1emewKxc4w
"Right? He's so sexy like please give me a chance." Jordan was practically drooling.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS0jhyhMWt
"He's definitely not ugly." That's all I could say. I didn't want to ogle over the boy she might've liked.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsViB1hGNu
"Him and his brother were at Club 9 too. I saw them."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWepanbGDz
"They're not celebrities they're just rich prep boys who cares if they were at the club."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWa91nYbq7
Jordan gasped and put her hand over her heart, showing that she was hurt by my statement.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oUD0hloAG
"They are celebrities in my eyes."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lUfMxDSGy
I just laughed in rolled my eyes. We laughed it off and continued talking as I began stalking Ian's page and other people that had Preston Academy in their bio.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBXpzYnGSu
"Where's Sarah why didn't she answer the phone call?" I asked.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzYrMpxuta
"I have no clue she's been M.I.A all day. I called her like twice and she hasn't responded."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzngKZ5dax
That's weird. She didn't seem like the type of person to be away from her phone for too long. We both shrugged the thought off and assumed that she'd just been busy since she told us she wasn't going to be free today. It was only 9pm and it wasn't too late, maybe she'll text later. I continued scrolling through and instagram while talking to Jordan on the phone. I clicked on Ian's page again and went back to his first post which he made almost a year ago. It was the mural he painted. I was looking closely at it and tried to zoom in to see the details of the painting. Oh shit..
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pRSKomQDG
"Shit!" I froze with my finger on the photo and realized i'd accidentally liked a photo he posted almost a whole year ago.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwffi6LqQri
"What?" Jordan sounded concerned about me and confused as to why I randomly tensed up.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbvrCSoFab
"I fucked up. Oh no.." I sat up in my bed and quickly unliked the photo.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88l4tGGxn3
"What?! Tell me what you did?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AEMrcnBpA
"I just liked an old photo."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGOCSA2D3u
"Bitch no way."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMpizXlVID
"Yes way. I'm deleting my account before he thinks i'm some crazy stalker. I don't even follow him."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPuf3CX3yL
"Okay don't panic just unlike it he probably didn't notice."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtclqYA2yFE
She's right he has like a million followers he's not gonna see that I liked his photo. I sighed in relief when Jordan reassured me that he'd never notice. "Yeah i'm going to sleep before I do some stupid stalker shit again."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bqfjwDI6c
"Okay, goodnight babe."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGRTD2SKiM
Jordan hung up and I took another breath and refreshed my page just to double check my instagram feed incase of new posts. Nothing new popped up and I had no more new notifications so I turned my phone off and closed my eyes.
