I didn't just run up those stairs, I became a fucking cheetah dude. I literally, was actually, the flash.

My hyper dash up those stairs was tiring but my mind kept telling me to keep going. Go find her. Once my legs burned, I hopped onto a passing elevator going to the top floor. My assumption is Arty's on the goddamn roof but hell, just a hunch. Judging by movies and cute television series, shit goes down on roofs. I'm just being cliche. 

The long elevator wait was annoying too, on top of my nerve racking thoughts. I had no idea what I would say to her besides, "Sorry I am a dork." 

As the elevator was approaching the 35th floor, my palms started sweating rivers. A whole ocean. I could feel water soon engulf me in this tiny room. The ding of floors I passed didn't help. I'm a guy, a man in fact, what am I suppose to say to her? I've never dealt with something like this. I mean, I've had a girlfriend, just for the record, but she never cried or anything. I'm now realizing that my feelings towards Artemis is guilt really. Even though I'm not the reason she was upset in the first place.

I had no worries at this very moment. Everything is being settled, we are having an amazing party, with even more amazing people, and I'm dancing my pants off. Literally. I think someone stole my belt. 

That was besides the fact that I've never been in a better mood before and here I am partying like an animal. Party animal. 
I began to walk over to Colby who I believe found himself a lady friend... Don't worry he's only dancing with her. She's pretty and familiar. Pretty familiar. (Ha.)

I had no idea what I was doing for a while, which was after when we greeted people. I lost Dylan already. And this was our own party.

Stupid. I know.

My head kind of hurt like hell, felt pretty off really and I wondered what to do. I saw a few friends I had back in college, and lots of people Wally or Dylan probably knew. Everybody was a complete blur and the swarm of people was a bit overwhelming. Then that's when everything got a little fuzzy and I remember crashing into someone's arms.

Waking up with a blurry haze and an aching head was the most unpleasant. Then there was the fact that there was a girl sitting across from me, staring me down. It wasn't creepy because she was very beautiful. But stone like, she wore a blue half shirt or something and black jeans with a matching black leather jacket. Her expression looked as if she were amused by my dreary ugliness.

"Glad you're awake kid." She said coolly. All I could stutter was an awkward "Hi."

"So what made you want to faint in my arms? Were you drinking?" She asked that pretty flat out.

"Okay no. And I didn't faint in your arms. I fainted and you caught me. There's a difference." I retorted.

"Well okay you're welcome anyways." She replied.

"Thanks, for not letting me crack my head open." I mumbled. "I actually really appreciate it so-"

"Whatever." She cut me off and stood up and said, "I'm going to go get a drink." Then began to walk out.

Who does that? Woman I'm trying to be thankful. I couldn't just let her leave.

"Wait!" I shouted and trudged quickly to her.
"What kid."

"Can I join you on that drink?" I shyly asked. She half smiled, turned on her heel, and said,

"Sure kid."

I may or may not have pumped my fist in the air as she turned.

Ding!

Top floor. Show time. I had thoughts in mind of what to say but none of them were decent enough to anything of her liking.

I don't even know what I've even gotten myself into. Does she truly have extreme hatred to me? Do i remind her of someone? Did someone or something upset her? I had more questions for her than answers I could give. Anxiety swarms my body and fear starts to beat sweat from my forehead.

The door slowly creaked open and then appeared a lost girl. Her back was facing me but the aura of her smacked some sense to me.

Since when was I one to be a Debby downer? Since when was I to skip out on a party? Why would I chase a girl?

I don't know.

It was just because it was her who made me feel the guilt.

It was her who showed me up, made me embarrassed because I fell into a pool, and annoyed me for being quote and quote, stupid.

But then my mind got this wave of realization. She was different from other girls.

Her personality was different.

My connection to her was different.

Artemis.

The wind that night blew her hair all over the place. She was breathtaking, to be honest. Definitely like a movie scene.

She had changed into her extra pair of clothes and was currently wearing a sweat shirt and jean shorts. I stood in the elevator, just staring.

I wondered if she noticed the ding of the elevator or the loud breathes from my nervousness, escaping my lips. Before the door could begin to shut, I stepped and she turned around.

Messy hair and mascara running, and I don't think I've ever seen her that vulnerable but beautiful.

-------------------

In case you're wondering, a blue half shirt that Kai was describing on that girl is his way in saying it is a crop top. I wouldn't imagine I guy to know what a crop top is so half shirt will have to do for his character's knowledge. Lolll
