"Everybody knew it has always been Elena and Alec. Alec and Elena. We were like a legend and everybody knew about us. For as long as I can remember, we were bestfriends. Partners. So close that people were almost jealous of our relationship. But something ruined it. And in a second we weren't Alec and Elena anymore. We were broken. I was broken."

"I bet she can't even drink the entire bottle." said Lucas with a smirk.

"I bet the broom stuck in her butt is  unable to find a way out." Added Camila, making everyone laugh.

"I bet you shutting the fuck up would make everyone a huge favor." I snapped.

Alec looked at me with a surprised look on his face. So did everyone. I guess nobody was used with me talking with such a harsh tongue. Nobody was used with me talking at all, actually. I was usually more secretive and quiet. The only reason why I was at this party, with so many lame and wannabe people was because Alec wanted to. And what ever he wanted, I couldn't refuse. Camila crossed her arms over her chest and didn't add a single word. I took the bottle of vodka and pressed my lips against the opening. All eyes were on me and I hated it. Right now, in this exact moment, I wanted to be in my bedroom, listening to heavy music and eating candy worms with Alec's arms around my shoulders.

Instead, I was in a rich ass house with a bunch of drunk students who were all looking at me as if I was the main attraction of a circus. Lame. They were all thinking "Elena White the definition  of creep is in our party, drinking our booze and well... Being creepy." Safe to say I wasn't a popular kid. I didn't like anybody except Alec. My Alec. He was the only reason why people were tolerating me. Everybody loved him and I didn't blame them. My bestfriend had something that attracted people. He was magnetic.

The rough liquid of the vodka made its way trough my throat, irritating it. I began to cough, not being used to drink very often. That mistake provoked a laugh from everyone, especially Camila who was watching me closely. She didn't want me to do it. Not because she gave a damn about me but because she didn't want me to win. The thing is,  Elena White never looses. Alec frowned at me and started walking towards me but I made him stop with a look. I put the bottle back to my mouth and started drinking again. The entire bottle. I whipped my lips with the palm of my hand and smile proudly. Everybody applauded and started to scream. Even Camila clapped her hands together, with a smile on the corner of her lips.

Loud voices interrupted the moment. In a corner of the house I noticed Ethan and Addison looking like they were arguing. She looked hurt and tired. And he looked like he was really trying to make up for whatever he did. Poor guy. Note the heavy amount of sarcasm. I turned my head to see Alec's reaction but he was nowhere to be found. He vanished.

Addison's voice got louder, covering the music. People stopped talking and
listened carefully the conversation.

"I really can't do this anymore Ethan." Addison softened her voice.

He bit his lips and passed a hand through her hair.

"We are definitely not made for this." He laughed.

"Better stay friends then. I like you better that way." She confirmed.

It was hard to imagine that 0,2 seconds ago they were yelling at each other. I was going to puke. Metaphorically and literally. Definitely literally.

I ran to the toilet and let the entire content of my stomach make its way into the bowl. I never felt so bad. Please make this night end. A while later, I felt a presence behind me but didn't have the strength to turn around. I felt my long hair being pulled back. My eyes crossed pale blue ones. Before I had time to say anything an other spasm took control of my body and I put my head back into the toilet bowl.

"There. You'll be fine." Said a soft voice.

Addison.

She gave me a tissue and I cleaned my mouth with it. She smiled with her perfect full lips. I never thought that this girl was ever normal. I didn't think she ate, didn't think she slept, she farted. She was kind of mythical to me. Having her so close to me confirmed she did exist.

"You went hard on this one did you?" She laughed."

I nodded.

She let my hair down, seeing that I wasn't going to vomit anymore.

"I'm Addison." She smiled.

How was it possible to smile that much? I rolled my eyes and stood up.

"I don't care." I replied.

Walls were shaking around me but I kept moving. I was almost going to pass through the bathroom door when a soft hand grabbed mine rapidly. 

"We need to leave, now." Said Alec pulling me closer to him.

It looked like something bothered him but I didn't have the strength neither the time to ask what it was. He brought us in the car quickly and drove fast through the night.

I wish I had known.
