ᎠᎥe ᏔᎥᎿh ℳe By: Arimay A Love Story 1. One Stupid Party It all stared with the one invite that made tears come from my eyes for such a long, long, long period of time. "Your invited to Mandy's party, be there at seven, this Saturday. It's gonna be a hell of a party." I read allowed by my mailbox suddenly grasping the fact that the Saturday she was talking about was that night. I sighed and ran to my room figuring out what to wear, I knew I wouldn't be staying so long considering Mandy always had the most craziest parties. Every party she throws a couple people always end up arrested or passed out completely wasted by three o'clock in the morning. It's terrible, but if I didn't go I'd be known as the good girl a school. While rummaging through my closet looking for something to throw on for the party my cell phone blasted the slight noise of vibration on my bed. I picked it up and answered, "Hey Damian." I said in a cheery voice to my boyfriend, we were always in that first love stage every time we talked to eachother. "Hi, quick question?" "Sure." "You going to Mandy's party tonight?" "Yeah," I sighed "I know, I know, bad idea." "No I'm going too. I don't want to be known as the dork at school who didn't go." his voice was so cool and smooth. "Good, so driving plans?" "Ariana's driving us since she the first to get a license." "Cool, okay, I got to get ready...I love you." "You know I love you too, see you in a bit." "Okay, bye." I quickly pressed the button to hang up and I was off to the shower. After an hour of getting ready the sound of three beeps came from my drive way. I opened my window ready to go. "I'm coming, I'm coming!" I giggled. I ran down the steps passing my mom and ran straight for the car door, I got in the back seat. "Finally!" "Oh shut up, you were out here for two seconds before I came out!" she laughed and so did I. It wasn't long until Damian was in the car with us and I was hugging him like a crazy person. We stopped at the party and Damian and I just talked, we made sure to talk to Mandy before we left so we wouldn't be the ones who were the victims of her rumors. "Hey!" Mike our friend yelled out from the pounding music. "Hey Mike, what's up?" "Ariana wants the two of you outside!" "Okay cool, bye!" We both walked out of the house relieved we got to leave. We both got in the car and Ariana didn't say a word until we made it on the highway. "Hey! Let's go a little faster...nobody's around! Let's party! Let's do stuff we've never done before!" she giggled and then it hit me. Ariana was drunk driving. "Ariana stop...we need to stop...your drunk." I couldn't believe the words pouring out my mouth. Damian hugged me tight. "Ariana, stop speeding and pull over, were going home on foot if your going to be this way." Damian yelled. "Shut up!" yelled Ariana back flooring the pedal. "It's okay." whispered Damian repeatedly, "It's okay, focus on my voice, it's all okay..." then, it happened. The truck rammed into both Ariana and Damian's bodies. In and instant, I realized when I turned my head laying on top of the shattered glass...two lives escaped the car that day. All because of one stupid party.
