Avalon's POV:

Jesse and I are drunk now after having way too many drinks, we giggle as he opens a door to a room on the first floor.

"No more drinking again", he says as he stumbles to turn on the switch.

"Agree", I nod.

"Let's play truth or dare", he suggests after I lock the door.

I nod.

"You first, truth or date?"

"Dare."

"Um..", he taps his chin, "I dare you to kiss me."

"What?"

"No backing out or are you scared?" He challenges.

"But Macke-"

"We are over so long ago, its no problem", he says.

I look at Jesse, he is staring at me.

"I can't do this", I shake my head.

"It will stay between us I highly doubt we'll remember this tomorrow", he states.

I sigh, this is my first kiss and I wouldn't remember it at all.

I close my eyes and lean closer to Jesse, our lips meet for a few seconds before I pull away.

"See? Was that bad?" He asks and I blush a little, "now you can say you kill a guy before college, tick that off your bucket list."

I roll my eyes, "I am going to sleep now."

"Now? Don't you have to go home?" He frowns.

"I have no idea where Avery is, Donovan is our ride", I shrug.

"We'll sleep then, the door is locked no one to disturb us", he says and I lay down, he lays down and faces me.

I close my eyes.

"Ava?"

"Hmm?"

"I'm happy we are best friends."

 I smile and fall asleep.

When I wake up, I realize I am not home or in my bedroom, where am I? I am still at Donovan's house? 

My head is killing me.

I turn on my phone, five missed calls from my mom and three from my father which were between 11 pm- 12:30 am.

I am in trouble.

Where is Avery?

I call my father first.

"Avalon Marie West, where are you?!" He demands.

"I'm at Donovan's house."

"We were worried, your sister came home and she had no idea where you were", he says, "how much did you drink?"

I frown trying to remember what happened last night.

"I don't know, maybe six?"

Yeah, six shots during the beer pong then much more afterward.

"Get home now", he says and hangs up.

The door opens, "Hey you're up", Jesse smiles.

"What are you doing here?"

"Don't you remember what happened last night?" 

I shake my head, "was it bad?"

"No, I brought you here, I myself was drunk so I couldn't take you home", he explains, "here", he hands me the glass of water.
