Mistakes: 4

*this one's kinda sucky, I think. I'm having extreme writer's block lately, and I've been working on another story too, so, yeah.*

"Are you sure you still want me to go to the party?" I pout and look at Justin.
"Yes, I want you to go to the party. Besides, I'm probably gonna hang out with Chaz and Ryan tonight. I haven't seen them in awhile too."
"But you get to take them on tour with you. And you never bring me," I point out.
"I'll bring you sometime, I promise."
"You make a lot of promises these days."
"Nicolette, don't start this." Justin looks at me, almost pleadingly. I don't want to fight; it just slipped out.
"Sorry. I just..."
"I know. But you're still going to that party." He grins.
"Fine, I'll go! Whatever!" I sigh, and Justin laughs.
"Atta girl." He kisses me on the cheek, then stands. "I gotta go. But I'll see you tonight, okay?"
"You'll see me tonight?"
"I'm staying here."
"But my mom's out of town."
"I know." He winks, and I catch my breath a little.
"Okay!" Smiling, I stand and folow him out of the room. At the front door, I kiss him, and what was meant to be a good-bye kiss turns out to be a long, lingering kiss, and I have to pull away. "Justin, you just said you had to go."
"I can be a little bit late," he murmurs, trying to pull me back into another kiss.
"No, Justin, no. Wait till later. Not now."
"So, later? As in later today, or another day?"
"Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after that."
"Aww, c'mon Nikki!"
I smile. "You'll see." And with that, I push him out the door.

"Oh my gosh, this party is crazy!" Hayden screams over the loud music. If I Had You by Adam Lambert is playing.
"I know!" I shout back. I take another sip of my drink. This is probably the craziest party in ten years. Well, besides Gary Fincher's party four years ago. No one will ever forget that party.
Hadley stumbles over to us. "You guys, I love this party! The drinks are so much better this year!"
I nod. "I know! I heard Tanner hired baristas from a club in New Jersey where Pauly D dj's!"
Hayden shrieks with joy at this. "We're drinking the same drinks as Pauly D!" She loves Pauly D.
We all laugh. Just then, Alex strolls up with Tanner and Garret. Tanner puts his arm around Hayden's shoulders and whispers something in her ear, and they leave. Garret grabs Hadley's hand and leads her away again. Then Alex sidles up to me and puts his arm around my waist, pulling me close to him.
"Hey, sexy," he says in my ear.
"Hey Alex!" I'm a little bit uncomfortable, but I try not to show it.
"You want something to drink?"
I hold up my drink to tell him I already have something. He smiles, then knocks the cup out of my hand, and the remainder of my drink spills all over the carpet. I gasp and jump back so it doesn't completely ruin my shoes. "Alex! What was that?!"
He smiles innocently. "I'll go get you another drink. Wait here." He leaves, and being the super nice person I am, I wait.
He returns a couple minutes later, holding a new drink in his hand. "Here ya go!"
I take it and take a sip. It tastes a little funny, but I ignore it, figuring it's just a different drink than what I normally drink. "What is this?"
"Vodka Red Bull! It's great!"
I smile and take another sip. It is kinda good, I guess. But all this music is starting to hurt my head. "This music is way too loud!"
"Oh yeah? Let's go somewhere quieter!" Alex grabs my hand and pulls me across the room and starts to go upstairs. I'm pretty sure this is a really bad idea, but I need to get away from this chaos.
He leads me down the dark hallway and opens a door. He lets me go inside first, the closes the door behind him. I slump against the wall, holding my head. My head is throbbing now; it hurts like hell. "Oh my God," I mumble. "Do you have any asprin?"
He shakes his head. "No, sorry. But at least it's a lot quiter in here, right?"
I nod a little. "Yeah, I guess." I take another sip of my drink, hoping it will ease the pain a little. It helps a little, and I smile a bit, then take another big gulp.
Alex laughs. "Good drink, I'm guessing?"
"What? Oh, yeah. It helps the headache."
"Maybe it would help if you didn't sit on the floor." He helps me up and I sit down on the bed. Then I lay back, sighing. My head still hurts a little. "You alright?" Alex sits next to me, and his voice has a little concern in it, but not much.
"I guess. My head feels a little bit better." Then I notice the way Alex is looking at me, and I realize that I need to get out of here right now. I sit up, and even though it hurts my head more, I stand. "I should probably get back to the party..."
"What's the rush? Why not stay up here and have our own party?" He gets up and moves close to me, backing me against the wall.
"Alex, I can't. I have a boyfriend."
"I can change that." He tries to kiss me, but I move my head to the side.
"My friends are downstairs-"
"Your friends are busy."
"But-"
I'm cut off when Alex covers my mouth with his. Surprised, I start to kiss back, just by instinct. Then I realize what I'm doing and push him away from me.
"Alex, stop."
"Why?" He slides his hand into my back pocket. The room behind him starts spinning.
"Stop!" I push him hard and he stumbles back a little. I take that as my opportunity and hurry away from him.
"Nicolette!" He grabs my arm, pulling me back towards him.
"Stop it!" I yank my arm away from him and run out of the room. My vision is really blurry, though. I hurry downstairs and run across the room. I spot Hayden stepping outside, Tanner-less. I rush over in the same direction.
"Hayden!" I stumble outside. Heels were most definately not made for running away from potential rapists. "Hayden!" I look around and see her leaning against the side of the house, sipping her drink.
She looks up at me. "Oh, there you are, Nikki! I was starting to get worried." She smiles at me. "Is Alex a good kisser?"
"What?"
"Your lipstick is smeared a little. You kissed him. Was it good?"
I quickly wipe my mouth with the back of my hand. "That's not important. Just get me out of here."
"Why do-"
"Just take me home!"
She shakes her head. "I can't drive. I've been drinking too much. Sorry. Ask Hadley."
I choke back tears and run back into the house. I look all over for Hadley, and finally see her heading towards the front door. "HADLEY!"
She spins around, searching for whoever called her name. I run to her.
"Hadley, take me home!"
I see concern in her eyes. "What's wrong?"
I shake my head. "I'll explain later, just take me home now. Hayden can't; she's drunk."
Hadley hesitates. "God, I'm real sorry, Nikki. I'm a little buzzed too." She giggles.
"Ugh!" I run my hands through my hair. What do I do if Alex comes up to me? What if he tries to do something? He probably will. He almost did.
"Why don't you just call Justin? He's only like ten minutes away with Chaz and Ryan, right?"
I snap my fingers. "You're right! I'll call him." I walk outside and stomp through the yard. I quickly dial Justin's number and hit the call button.
"Hello?" answers Justin. I can hear Chaz and some girl talking in the background.
"Justin? Can you come pick me up?"
"What's wrong? Where are you?"
I can't tell him about Alex. "I don't feel good. I'm at Tanner's party."
"Alright. I'm getting in the car now." I hear the car door close. "I'll be there soon, okay?"
"Okay." I hang up and stand on the curb waiting for him. I feel someone watching me, though, and when I turn around, I see Alex staring at me from the guest bedroom window. It creeps me out, and I cross my arms tighter, clutching my phone tight in case I need to call anybody. When I turn back around about a minute later, Alex is gone.
Five minutes later, Justin pulls up. He jumps out of the car and hurries to my side. "Nikki, are you okay?"
I nod. "Yeah. I just want to go home, or maybe I could go with you back to wherever you were with the guys. They like me."
"Yeah, they do. Alright, let's go."
We get in the car and Justin drives off. I take a deep breath; I'm away from Alex. Hopefully I won't have any more troubles with him.
Justin decides to just take me home since my head hurts. I walk inside and slump down on the couch, and my phone vibrates. I glance down at it; I have a new text message. It's from Alex.
"Oh, no," I whisper.
"Hey babe. Looking forward to next time. Maybe we can make it a little more interesting ;)."
I feel light-headed. My head starts to hurt again, and the room starts spinning. It's like I'm on the Tilt-A-Whirl. I feel sick. It feels like my head is going to explode. Thn my stomach lurches, and I jump off the couch, run to the bathroom, and throw up.
