it was tragic the way every year around the same time we host this party, our annual boneyard halloween extravaganza. to the costumes, the keg, the mike hard lemonades, the bottles of liquor purchased since it is a bring your own bottle.

pope is smiling at me as he says, "lilith tell me is being drunk suppose to always feel like this"

"feel like what? pope" i look at him as he slurs "like i have lost control of all my thoughts. like being drunk is losing sanity in every waking moment"

i laugh as i look him up and down his costume is sherlock holmes meets spencer reid in criminal minds "it does feel that way that's why I haven't hit my limit"

"lili you better be joking!! i didn't steal this whiskey for nothing" jj chimes as he hands me a black solo cup.

john b is trying to mack on this touro who is only in town for the next two weeks, he seems to be doing well. his charm is reeling her in i can see it.

jj is pulling me away from drunk pope with his bam bam costume and towards the table stabilized by rocks with the variety of drinks to add to our concoctions. "have you seen kiara?"

"i haven't since we got here also isn't she still at the kook high school she isn't coming back to Kildare until next spring. she's been their for almost a year already hopefully she hasn't changed to much" i said as i settle on the juice to pour with my drink.

"hey i'm nicholas and you are?" his vampire look is hot. i thought to myself when i turn jj is gone he has left to go to the ocean. fuck.

"i'm lilith nice to meet you"

"are you from around here?" he asks making himself a cocktail.

"mmhmm lived here my whole life, you?"

"i'm just visiting from london" surprisingly his accent escaped my hearing as the music began to get louder.

"what's that like?"

"pretty chill, it's home can't complain about it much ya know"

i nod "how long are you visiting for?" "a month"

"my parents want to look for a summer home"

"why the outer banks?"

"paradise, isn't only in spain, greece, etcetera the islands many go to. it can be at a place you didn't expect and this was that for them"

"interesting"

"lilith!lilith! where are you?!" i know that voice anywhere.

"i'll come find you, maybe later"

i wink at him as i go to find my sister harley walking through bodies where everyone is dancing is a bit of a struggle but i find her. "yes babes"

"do you have any pot?" i roll my eyes as i plaster a smile "you called me to give you one of my spliffs. personally made for me by one of my best friends"

"yes!! was it jj, because he really gives you primo shit"

"here, where's Ivor?"

"look" i spot him kissing someone i can't see who but he's getting his party on.

both of my siblings got interesting things they do in a social gathering such as this, harley tends to try to meet new people but ever so often needs a moment alone, that's her smoke time. ivor is the life of the party he doesn't stop. unless it's a warm body that's his type. we are all around the same age, we were almost, emphasis on almost triplets. harley and i both have on witches costumes not the sanderson sisters, more charmed ish. guess just guess what's our brother ivor's costume. a warlock. five points for gryffindor. we would've went the harry potter route but it didn't work.

i'm approaching my pope phase of drunk when i dance/crash into nicholas. we dance for almost 45 minutes straight.

i can taste the ginger ale and tequila on his lips, we moved away from the able bodies and prying eyes. darker on this side of the beach all you can hear is the kisses in the silence.

"you really know how to kiss" his voice is soft as he groans kissing me again.

"mmm" i can feel the bubble of laughter ready to escape my lips. suppressing the urge i continue to focus my attention on this touro named nicholas.

his mouth begins to move down to my neck i moan enjoying the feeling, the further down he goes the more i want to allow this to continue. he lifts my t-shirt above my head when i hear kie's voice "fuck, rafe. are you high again?"

"i'm not kie i promise" he makes a sniffle noise. giving away whatever leverage he had earlier.

nicholas has began to kiss me again which i halt. i put my finger to my lips to signal shh.

"i got someone waiting for me, i shouldn't even be talking to you. we had a drunken one night thing. i don't like you"

"i understand kiara, i just need to talk to someone. kelce and topper are busy, sarah's with a touro. i need you to talk to barry for me. get an extension on my credit for a week at most. your guy would be able to get me the money"

"why the fuck would i talk to barry! no way am i talking to your boyfriend for you. ask him yourself"

"barry would listen to a girl like you he's not my boyfriend just my drug dealer"

"get off me! fuck off rafe handle your problems by yourself" kie walks away i can hear the crunch in the sand as she leaves.

"shit!" rafe swears.

"are we gonna continue or keep eavesdropping?" nicholas whispers.

i push him off of me and put my shirt back on. i grab his hand and we tip toe away from the area back towards the party.

escaping nicholas as i get lost in the crowd of people, i always thought i'd fall in love with jj but he's insane in love with kiara carrera and i can't blame him. but someone else caught my eye in that short time. the kook king 'Rafe Cameron' he had this unapologetic snarky attitude. the idgaf about anything but myself. but deep down it wasn't true.

i'm sobering up, as the water is coating my throat arms wrap around my waist as i freeze. this unfamiliar scent creeps it way to my nose, it smells divine. "i've never seen you before. you're fucking beautiful" i know that voice anywhere.

turning in his arms "do you really not know me? think again" i finally look up at him the liquor on his breathe as i see the black rim touching his lips, the light rose color fading. as he lowers the cup i see the small white powder around one nostril "you're a pogue i've seen a picture of -- you"

"that's me" locking eyes with him his blue grayish eyes, i could swim in them sheesh sighing i check the time on my watch. "how are you getting home?"

waving his keys in my face taking them i place his arm on my shoulders and take him to the car. putting him inside the car, i shut the door and climb inside the drivers seat. finding the ignition i start the car, as i put on his seatbelt. he takes me chin in his hand "you really are beautiful" i give him a shy smile as i avert my eyes from his. young god by halsey starts mid song. hmm he likes halsey i thought to myself. he starts singing as i get on the road i giggle because he looks so cute.

he's watching me his head resting on his passenger window towards me. "what's your name?"

"mm mm you are going to have to find out on your own"

"♪ Listen to me when I say... Baby, it's always, always... Always been that way ♪ " bryson's vocals coming in and out as we have a small staring contest before the light turns green. it's about ten minutes left until we reach tannyhill.

"you're a silent mystery storm coming in to save the day"

"am i really saving the day"

"i'd be risking my life driving with the way i feel right now" his voice is hoarse as he reaches for something in the backseat. "here" rafe's handing me his sweater.

"you're shaking"

"thanks" we pull up in his driveway. i help him out of the car, he starts to fumble with the keys of the house. opening the door, i help him to his room. placing his keys on his desk, he takes off all his clothes in lightening speed.

"thank you mystery" he smiles at me as he falls asleep.

"welcome rafe"

as i pull on his sweater i start to walk home, the skies ready to break to daylight soon.

inhaling the scent permeating off the collar i smile, the beginning of the yearn.
