Her eyes widened and she exclaimed, "You are drunk!"

I unwrapped myself from the doorframe and let out a cry.

"I am such a terrible friend. I can't drive you or myself home." I told her while I staggered over to her and wrapped my arms around her "I'm sorry. I just wanted to forget for a while."

Her arms wrapped around me, and she rested her chin on my shoulder as she murmured

"What is going on, Ella?"

I was about to tell her the truth but a familiar face across the room caught my attention, so I raced towards him.

"Brennan!" I shouted excitedly while I made my way through the crowd to him.

He stopped when he saw me. His eyes scanned my clumsy movements before he let out a curse.

"You came here for Lana." I cooed up at him before hardening my tone "You better take care of her, or I will destroy you."

Brennan let out a small, strained laugh.

"Just not right now because I feel like I am on the spinning teacups." I told while holding onto my head.

The surfer murmured, "He is not going to be happy about this."

I continued smiling up at Brennan when I admitted "I like looking at you."

"W-what?" His voice shook slightly when he questioned me.

"I like looking at you." I repeated.

"Fuck." Brennan mumbled under his breath "He is going to kill me."

"I am not attracted to you!" I quickly disclosed in the nicest way possible "I just like looking at your face like I like looking at a painting."

His blue eyes blinked before he replied, "Thank you, I guess."

"You are welcome." I told him with a lazy grin.

Brennan was huge and he was all man. He was at least six foot four and he had to have weighed over two hundred pounds.

I never noticed how big Brennan was. It was probably due to my fascination with his friend and how my eyes always seemed to be on Stone.

The room would not stop spinning. It kept going around and around and around.

"Where is Stone?" I questioned, realising that his attractive face was not in the room.

"He was looking for you." Brennan informed before he added distractedly "Although, I don't think we should let him see you."

Lana stood beside Brennan, and she was watching me worriedly.

I hated the concern on her face, so I looked away at something else.

The first thing that caught my eye was the huge muscular figure ducking to get through the door.

His eyes scanned the room like he was on some sort of mission. The black eyes then zoned in on me and his gaze stayed in place.

"Lurch! You are here!" I shouted eagerly before I took off on a run towards the outraged giant.

"Where have you been?" I asked as I stared up at the furious face.
