The Fault in Her Scars .

I took one last look at myself in the mirror. I had curled my long blonde hair and let it all flow down my back. I wore a two-piece black dress with yellow high heels, and had a smokey eye effect for my makeup, with bright red lipstick. I was beyond happy with how I looked. (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=169302780)
I was putting away my makeup when I heard footsteps pounding down the hallway and stopping in front of the bathroom.
"Taylor! It's Erin, you in there?" A voice squealed from outside.
I smiled to myself and opened the door, giggling when I saw Erin standing in front of me.
She looked over me and opened her mouth wide. "You look so hot, come on, we have to go!" she said, smiling widely and taking my hand.

I walked down the stairs and Erin bounded in front of me, telling me to wait at the bottom. I saw my brothers, Jaime, and Tony all standing at the door, waiting for the both of us.
"When you see Taylor, do not say anything about her being dressed too sexy or anything, because she looks great, okay?" Erin said, her voice low with warning. They all nodded and Erin called for me to come down.

I walked up to the boys and gave them a small smile. Vic spit out his drink as soon as he saw me, and Mike's eyes got huge, filled with concern.

"Do I look okay?" I asked, rubbing my hand on the back of my neck.
"You look way too okay for my liking, how am I gonna keep the boys away?" Vic asked, still wiping the drink off of himself.
Mike just shook his head at me and smiled. "You look great, I'm definitely gonna have to beat up some boys tonight."
I giggled and walked out the front door with Vic, watching him climb into his car and Mike get in beside him. Tony and Erin climbed in the backseat, and I looked over at Jaime.

"Is it cool if I ride with you?" I asked, smiling.
"Of course! I was hoping you'd ask, I don't wanna be alone." He said, sticking his tongue out at me.
Jaime opened the passenger door for me and helped me into the car before walking around to his side and getting in.
We pulled out of the driveway and started down the road, following Vic's car.
"You look beautiful tonight," Jaime said, looking over at me and smiling.
"Thanks, you look pretty decent yourself."
Jaime giggled and turned up the radio, focusing on the road.

I felt my phone buzz in my lap and checked it, seeing a text from Erin.
Erin Bear: Oooh, riding in the car with your man, you go girl (;

I smiled to myself and locked my phone, feeling the butterflies building in my stomach. I sang along to the radio with Jaime as we drove, arriving at the bar within minutes. He jumped out and opened my door for me, helping me out of the car and walking with me over to my brothers and Tony.
Vic wrapped his arm in mine and walked me up to the door, and that's when I heard it.
"Jaime, hi!"
I turned to see a small girl with black hair waving at Jaime, and he waved back.
"Hi Kate, I'm so glad you could make it!" He said, kissing her on the lips.
I turned away as a pang of hurt and jealousy washed over me, but not before catching Erin frowning at me.

We all walked inside and got seats at a circular booth, myself sitting in between Erin and Mike.
"Okay, so, no alcohol for little miss Taylor tonight, but other than that let's party!" Mike yelled, just as the guys from Of Mice walked up.
"Austin! Alan!" I screamed, jumping over the side of the booth and running to both of them.
"Taylor, wow you look great!" Austin said, kissing my forehead.
"For real, you look hot!" Alan interjected, giving me a hug.
"Hot enough for you to get me a drink? I'll pay," I said, smirking at Alan. He laughed and shook his head, joining everyone as they walked over to get shots.

I groaned and headed out to the dance floor, my eyes immediately landing on a rather handsome guy. I smiled at him and he walked away from the group he was in, coming next to me.
"Can I buy you a drink?" He asked, wrapping his arm around my waist.
"Of course you can, I'm Taylor, by the way" I said, giggling and leaning into him.
"I'm Mark, nice to meet you Taylor." He said, pressing his lips to my cheek.
We waked to the opposite end of the bar where he ordered two large classes of straight and hard moonshine.
I knew this bar was notorious for underground operations, and I couldn't wait to taste it out.
He handed me the large glass of alcohol and I gladly accepted it, kissing him on the lips before drinking it.
If this was how I could get my mind off Jaime, then so be it.
We slammed our glasses down on the bar at the same time, letting the alcohol rush through our veins. I immediately began to feel more intoxicated than I ever had in my entire life. I was an extreme lightweight with no food in her stomach, which meant I was almost drunk at this point.
He ordered a second one, and I opened my mouth to object, but he crashed his lips onto mine and our mouths began to move in sync, the lust radiating off of both of us.
The bartender cleared his throat and placed our drinks down, and I picked up my drink, letting the alcohol take over.
"Care to meet Molly?" Mark asked, pulling bright pink pills out of a tic-tac container in his pocket. I was leery of it at first, but watching him take some, I gladly accepted after and washed them down with my drink.

"Wanna dance, my lady?" Mark asked, swallowing the last of his drink. I hadn't realized I'd been staring off until he spoke, but I shook my head and hopped off of my chair.
I walked down to the dance floor, smiling at Vic as I did. His eyes flashed with worry and concern, but I waved my hand to let him know all was well.
We danced for a few songs, and we were constantly moving around as I tried to avoid anyone I had come with. I couldn't bare to see Jaime and his girlfriend right now, not in this state of mind. We danced for a few songs, and with each one I grinded on him more, feeling a situation developing in his pants.
I had a different situation, on the other hand, I felt myself starting to feel a high, and I knew my pupils must've been growing at that point.
Mark wrapped his arms around me and placed his fingertips in the top of my skirt and held me close to him. I smiled at his action, but immediately stopped smiling when I saw Austin turning to look in my direction. He made eye contact with me, and his face became angry when he saw Mark's hands.
Austin tapped Vic and Mike, who turned to look, and I heard Mike yell something, which caused everyone to look in our direction. I panicked when I realized that all of them were completely sober, which meant they'd know what I'd done.

I turned to Mark and looked at him, and he noticed the situation developing a few people over.
"Let's go," I said, grabbing his hands.
"Wanna go to my place?" He asked, starting to pull me out of the crowd.

I nodded my head and went with him, but was stopped by Mike running in front of me.
"Where the fuck do you think you're going?" Mike yelled, anger in every syllable he spoke and his eyes.
I opened my mouth to say something, but Mark did instead. "My house, do you mind?"
"Yeah, I do, that's my fucking sister. She's actually leaving with me," Mike screamed, grabbing me away from Mark and pulling me into him.
"Pretty sure she can make her own decisions, just because I was gonna get some and you aren't doesn't mean you have to be so hostile." Mark said, smirking at me and taking a step forward, eyes locked with mine, which is why he didn't see Vic's hand come flying toward him.
I watched Vic hit Mark directly in the mouth and Austin push him down.
"You stay the fuck away from my sister," Vic said, spit flying out when he spoke. Mark jumped up and walked off, blood dripping from his mouth.

"Seriously Vic? We were having a good time!" I half screamed, tears filling my eyes.
"Taylor, he's almost thirty years old, not gonna happen! Vic yelled back, staring at me in disbelief.

I turned to walk away, but was face to face with Alan. "Move, please." I said, trying to avoid any more fights.
"Holy shit Taylor, your eyes are like fucking saucers and you reek of moonshine, what did you do?"
"Congratulations Ashby, you've figured it out!" I growled, pushing past him as the DJ announced the club was closing/
I walked all the way out to Vic's car and leaned up next to it, watching as everyone came out after me. They were all talking about me, discussing what to do with me, and it angered me. I wasn't a baby. I watched Jaime and Kate walk out last, and my heart broke at the sight of it.
I stared at Jaime as he made out with Kate, telling her they'd see each other again. I instantly felt sick to my stomach, I couldn't handle this, not now.
Tony and Erin climbed into the car, and Vic stood by the driver's side.

"Alan, can you ride with her and Jaime? I know you have experience with his stuff so.." Vic said, his voice trailing off.
Alan shook his head and I watched Austin climb into the car with Vic and Mike. Alan held me up as we walked back to the car, Jaime already having my door open when we got there. Jaime pushed me up into the front and Alan got into the back.

The car ride back home was completely silent, I didn't want to even look at Jaime. It hurt too bad.
I also knew keeping quiet was the best thing for me, because heaven only knew what might come out of my mouth in this state.

We pulled into my driveway minutes later, and Alan picked me up and brought me into the living room, where Austin and the rest of the boys were already sitting, along with Erin.
"You need to eat something Taylor, it's gonna help with that hangover in the morning." Alan said, helping me walk three steps to the dining room table, which earned him a scowl. He walked into the kitchen and brought me back a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which I ate quickly.

"So Taylor, what do you wanna do? Go to sleep maybe?" Tony asked, smiling at me. I shook my head and jumped up from my seat.
"I wanna go outside, catch ya later!" I said, taking off to the front door. I swung the it open and kicked my shoes off, and took off down my driveway.
I heard footsteps pounding behind me, and felt a pair of hands wrap around my waist. and pull me up over their shoulder.
I knew it was Jaime, I recognized his familiar cologne.
"Help! I'm being abducted by a pretty Mexican with spiky black hair!" I screamed, and Jaime picked up his pace and ran inside with me, trying to hold in his laughter.

Alan shut the door behind us as soon as Jaime got me inside, and took me into his arms. "Taylor, we're gonna put you in bed little one." Alan said. "I'll stay in there with her, but she should be fine at this point." he finished, and everyone said goodnight to me.
Vic kissed my forehead and smiled down at me. "I love you sis, sleep well."
I nodded my head, trying to keep my mouth shut and avoid the impending word vomit, but I couldn't stop it from flowing out.
"Goodnight guys, I can't wait to see all of my friends in the morning! I had such a great time tonight, Tony you looked so pretty with your hair done like that! Austin has the coolest tattoos and Jaime always looks pretty and Alan is my ginger princess which reminds me I wanna go to my castle and sleep now.." I said, hiccuping after almost every word.

I listened to everyone's laughs until Alan placed me on my bed and gave me clothes to change into, which I did happily.
I quickly wiped off my makeup and climbed into bed, laying down.

I closed my eyes to sleep, but all I could see was Jaime's lips pressed to Kate's. I let the tears silently fall out until Alan began to rub my back, which caused me to violently sob.

I cried until exhaustion took over, and I fell into a deep sleep.
