ethan's pov
friday, 10:10pm

standing on the patio in my own backyard with a ton of random people that I don't know, I clicked the power button on my phone, causing the bright screen to turn on.

10:10pm.

the party started three hours ago. where is she?

putting my phone back into my pocket, my jaw clenched tightly as I walked back inside through the back door. I could feel my eyebrows slightly narrowed as I walked in a quick pace towards the kitchen.

my feet stopped once I was in front of the counter with multiple different options of alcohol on top of it.

handles of vodka and tequila, cans of mikes hard, cases of beer, bottles of smirnoff and even some jello shots.

my eyes scattered around to each of the drinks that were set out for anyone to take, debating on which one to grab.

"fuck it." I mumbled underneath my breath as my hand sternly gripped the neck of the vodka bottle. I brought it to my mouth, letting it pour down my throat. hating the taste, I exhaled a large breath as I put the drink back down onto the counter.

disgusting.

my face felt tight from the muscles in my cheeks cringing so hard from the awful taste. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand before turning around to face everyone inside of my house.

my phone vibrated from my back pocket, grabbing my attention. I took my phone out of my back pocket, looking down to the lock screen to read the notification that had appeared.

I exhaled a large breath through my nose as I leaned back against the counter top. my thumbs hovered over my phone screen, being unsure of what to even say to her.
