In his grasp

Where am I?

The party was amazing. The drinks were following, the music was pumping and everyone was loving it. Molly’s parents were on holiday and her brother was suppose to be looking after us but he is so involved with his new girlfriend he is hardly ever home. The alcohol was bought by her brother as he knows what it is like to be young. However he thought it would just be me, Molly and few of our friends. The rest of the alcohol was brought by the guests; probably bought or stolen from their parents stash or maybe even stolen from shops.

I downed drink after drink. Everything started to spin around me and a few hours later I was intoxicated. My favourite song came on and stood on the table dancing as sexy as I could. All of a sudden the thought of Joe came into my mind. I felt myself trying to dance like I was seducing him, as if he was in front of me. I felt someone get up on the table with me, holding me hips as my body grind in sync with his. Did I imagine Joe so much he was there? 

The guy spun me round and put his lips into my neck as he guided my hips with his. I couldn’t tell who it was but I was so drunk I imagined it was Joe. Everyone was cheering as we slid closer to each other. I couldn’t really make anything out just shapes and colours. Then out of no where, someone’s lips were twined in mine. I closed my eyes. I felt my entire body become entirely numb. I pushed my face to his, wrapping my arms around his neck. Oh Joe. 

“Okay Grey! That’s enough” Molly shouted from down the other side of the room. My eyes opened and looked at Grey. A boy from my science class who likes to wind me up and pick on me constantly. I pushed him off of me and gave me a forceful grin before grabbing my waist to pull me closer to him. I pushed him off me and went to step off the table, misjudging the height of it. I dropped and landed on my hands and knees. I felt everyone laughing. 

“Lauren wait!” Molly shouted after me as I put my phone in my pocket walking towards the hallway. 

“I’m going home Mol” I slurred. 

“Don’t let them ruin our night” she shouted. I looked at the clock on the wall 1am. It’s so late. 

“I’m going Mol, just let me go home, I don’t feel well and I’m way too drunk. I don’t want to do anything stupid...” I paused. “...Anything else” I finished. 

“At least let me call you a taxi” she desperately tried to stop me as I was stumbling all over the place. 

“Already have” I lied, or at least I don’t think I did. I walked out the door and stormed down the road. I couldn’t go home because I was completely drunk and told my mum I was staying with Molly. I would be in so much trouble. I was 14 in the next Few weeks and still way too young to be drinking. 

The roads were quiet and the streets were lit with orange street lights. I kept walking, stumbling after a few steps. 

“Hey!” I heard someone call to me. I turned around and saw Grey with two of his friends. I turned back and picked up the pace. He was the class clown but gets too full on when he’s had a drink let alone a bottle. 

“Wait up!” He continued as I heard his footsteps turn from a walk to a jog. I closed my eyes for a second then tried to walk as fast as I could, not turning around. 

“Why were you ignoring me Lauren?” He asked grasping my arm to make me stop. I kept stepping backwards every time he took a step towards me. My back was against the wall that ran along the path. It was about 10ft tall and Grey was blocking me along with his two mates standing either side of him. He brushed his hand past my neck and gripped the back of my head. Pushing his face onto mine. I squirmed to try to get away from him but he gripped my waist and pushed his body against mine. I was only 5ft 3 and he was at least 6ft. His friends were laughing as he tried to put his hand up my top.

“Grey! Mmmhhmm.... stop!” He wouldn’t move away. All of a sudden a screech of tires interrupted his assault and they stepped back. I was panting from exhaustion of trying to get him off of me. Black Corsa. It’s Joe. He stepped out of the car with engine still running. He didn’t take his eyes off of the group of boys as he opened his boot and took out a bat.

“She said stop” he said in a very dull tone. All of a sudden I felt extremely sick and disorientated. Grey and his friends ran off and I looked at Joe, my face pale and my hair all scuffed. He stepped towards me and I felt something happening. All of a sudden my mouth filled up and I threw up on the floor and then started to sway with my eyes rolling to the back of my head. He ran towards me and everything went black...
