Cassie's POV

Wow. I take a deep breath, trying to soak in all of the information that Melissa had just told me. I felt awful. I completely judged her for being a slut that slept with all of the guys at school, but she wasn't. And she was dealing with so much more.

"Please, don't apologize. It was my fault for overreacting last night. And Jake has just always been overprotective of me. Like a brother." She says, trying to reassure me.

Jake. I needed to see him, tell him that I was sorry and tell him the everything was my fault and that I miss him and want us to be friends or whatever we were again. But Fynn. Even if I was just talking with Jake, Fynn would get all pissy with me. Which I get, I mean even if I don't want to admit it to myself, there was something between me and Jake. And I think Fynn knows it. Whenever I mention Jake or something that concerns him, Fynn tenses up. His forehead creases and his palms start sweating. Fynn means a lot to me, and if not talking to Jake makes him feel better and trust me more, then it's a sacrifice that I'll make.

~1 week later~

"Hey babe." Fynn says as he jumps onto my bed and greets me with a kiss.

"Hey." I smile and return the peck, then get back to my math homework.

"C'monnnn it's Friday Cas! Let's do something instead of just doing homework like we always do." He whines. I sigh and close my textbook.

"Then what do you suppose we do?" I say, lifting up my eyebrow and poking him in the side.

"Well... maybe we could do something like this.." He leans in and connects his lips with mine, slowly dragging his hands up my legs to my waist, giving my butt a squeeze on the way. I grab the back of his neck and pull him closer to me, causing him to roll onto me and use his elbows to prop himself up above me. He slides one of his hands under my shirt and onto the small of my back and then continues to pull the shirt up.

I disconnect the kiss and quickly pull my top down.

"I-I'm sorry Fynn, but I'm not feeling like doing IT right now."

"Who said anything about doing it? We could do other things..." he flirtatiously said, slowly leaning in again.

"I really don't feel like it Fynn." I say, rolling out from under him and sitting up. "Can we just talk?"

He sighs, clearly frustrated (sexually ;)) and clears his throat, sitting up and nodding.

"Sure. We're definitely doing something tonight, I don't care what as long as it doesn't include a calculator or square roots."

"Any other ideas?" I ask.

"Well, Jackie, that girl in our history class, is actually throwing a rager tonight... wanna go?"

"A rager? I dunno, isn't really my scene if you know what I mean."

"Oh don't worry, you'll be fine. You'll have me, and alcohol. Nothing can go wrong with that." He says, smiling to me and taking my hand in his.

I nod, and try to fake a smile.

"Ok, then I'm gonna get ready and I'll pick you up at 9."

9? That seems late. Wow I've never been to a high school party that actually starts late at night.

"Sounds good." He kisses me goodbye and leaves.

Ughhhh, what did you get yourself into, Cassie? You don't like alcohol or parties or socializing or dancing or Fynn or...

Wait. Forget that last part. That was just because he's been kinda on my case for sex this past week. I mean Jesus Christ, we've been dating for 2 and 1/2 weeks and all that's been on his mind is sex. Netflix date? Sex. Dinner date? Sex. Picnic? Sex. Movie night? Sex. Hanging out with my mom downstairs?? Sex. Is that how all teenage boys are? I mean I get it I guess, but maybe wait for a month at least before you start pestering me for it all the damn time.

I check the clock and see that it's 8. Fuck, I need to get ready for this stupid party.

~~~

I apply my pale lipstick and constantly check my phone for a text from Fynn telling me he's outside. It's 9:05. I decided after maybe 45 minutes that I was going to wear a tight black dress and some heels. I figured, it's my first high school party, why not go all out, right?

I finally get that text from Fynn at 9:16, and run down the stairs, calling out goodbye to my mom, and run out the door, the cold air hitting me and making me regret not getting my jacket like my mom had told me before. I just thought it would ruin the look of the dress.

I climb into Fynn's jeep and am greeted with a whistle.

"Fuck babe, that dress looks so hot on you. I just want to bang you right here and now." There we fucking go with the sex.

"Thanks... I guess." I say, tugging down on the bottom of my dress and starting to regret this decision already. I cross my arms and wait as Fynn finally takes his eyes of my boobs and starts the ignition.

We get to Jackie's party and you can hear the music from outside. I take a deep breath and let Fynn lead me into the house by placing his hand on the small of my back and gently pushing me in. The minute I pass through the doorway, the smell of sweat, alcohol, and sex hits me. I look around and see a bunch of horny hormonal teens grinding on each other, some so wasted that they probably have no idea whose butt they're rubbing up against.

"I'll get us some drinks," Fynn tells me, leaving me on my own to try to get through this sweaty mess of a dance floor.

"Hey!! Cassie!" Nick comes up to me, slurring his words and embracing me in a hug. The strong scent of alcohol stings my nose, and I hold him up by his arm to keep him from falling onto me.

"You having fun Nick?" I ask, laughing at his response of nodding his head like a bobblehead for 20 seconds.

He quickly gulps whatever is left in his cup and randomly turns around and leaves me alone, again.

"I'm back!" Fynn yells over the pounding music. I sigh in relief, and take the red cup in his hand.

"What is in this?" I ask.

"Uhhh... Some orange juice, vodka, rum, and a little bit of kool-aid. Don't worry, I have it all the time. It's great!" He tells me with a reassuring smile.

I shrug my shoulders and without thinking anymore, lift the cup straight up and gulp everything as fast as possible, trying to ignore the agonizing burn in my throat.

Bottoms up.
