with.”
    “Liam! Lila! So glad to see you guys!” Addison screams.
    “Hey, Ads, glad to see you. Are you drunk?”
    Eric hugs me. “Hey, sis, and yes, your best friend has been drinking all night.”
    “Well, keep an eye on her. Please, ” I say, hugging him again.
    “I won’t leave her side, you know that.”
    “Hey, Liam, you take care of my sister and don’t let her break any necks. I saw Savvy and Sara earlier,” he says.
    “Yeah, we did too. Lila will be with me the rest of the night, so no worries, bro,” Liam says, giving him a ‘man’ hand shake.
    “Thanks. I know my sister is in good hands with you.”
    “Is that Liam and Lila?” I hear Lulu say from behind me.
    “Hey, Lulu, what a great party, sweets. How are you and Lance doing?” I ask. She and Lance have been dating for years. They are the perfect couple.
    “Oh, Lila, we're fantastic! We're both going to Florida State together. We leave in three days. I’m so excited,” she says, clapping her hands.
    “That’s fantastic. I’m getting nervous about going to NYU,” I admit.
    “You’ll be fine. What about Liam? Where is he going?” she asks.
    Since Liam left to talk to some guys, I say, “I’m not sure of his plans yet. I hope he will eventually come to New York. It was good talking with you; I better go find him.”
    After hugging her, I walk away.
    I want to ask Liam about his plans, but I keep putting it off. God, I’m going to miss him. I hope he isn’t going off to another state. I want what we have to work.
    I walk around the corner and see Liam talking to a few guys.
    “There you are, handsome. I missed you.”
    I love his smile. He can make a bad day turn into the greatest day ever when he smiles.
    “Hey, having fun? You haven’t choked anyone yet, have you?” he jokes.
    “No, not yet. Let’s get out of here before I do.” I laugh, but I’m serious.
    “Where would you like to go?” he asks, wrapping his arms around my waist.
    “Anywhere away from here,” I say. The more I think about how Sara looked at Liam, the more upset I get. I just want to be alone with him.
    “I’ll find Ads and tell her we’re going,” I say, kissing his cheek. Where the hell did they go? I hope Eric hasn’t already taken her home.
    “Well, if it isn’t Lila Rae.”
    “Excuse me, Will. I’m looking for Addison,” I say, pushing past him.
    “Oh, come on. Is that a way to talk to your first love?” he asks, grabbing my arm.
    “Trust me, you were not my first love.”
    He has his hands all over me. I push him to the side.
    “Damn, you like it rough, baby?”
    God where is Liam or Eric? This dumb ass is drunk and a lot stronger than I remember.
    “Get the fuck out of my way right now!”
    “Come on, babe, you know you want some of Big Will.”
    “Will, I’m warning you to get out of my way.”
    He grabs me and pulls me close to him. His breath smells like he drank a keg of beer. He’s holding me so close, I feel like I’m going to puke.
    “Come on, baby, give me some of those sweet kisses.” Just as he tries to kiss me, I ram my left knee into his balls.
    “What the hell is wrong with you?” he shouts. “You fucking whore. You’re still a tease, I see.”
    “I told you to stay away from me. Next time it will be worse, you douche bag.”
    Oh, now Liam shows up. “What’s wrong?” he asks.
    “This jerk pinned me up against the wall and was trying to kiss me.”
    “Will, you better stay away from her, you hear me? If you ever come near her again, you'll regret it!”
    Liam grabs my hand and we leave. I’m shaking so bad, I want to cry.
    “Thanks. I took care of him, though.”
    “Are you all right? Did he hurt you in any way?”
    “No, I’m fine. He scared me at first, but I knew how to defend myself.”
    Once we leave, Liam drives to the beach.
    “I know you feel comfortable here. I wanted to be alone with you anyway.”
    “I do love it here. It’s so peaceful and beautiful.”
    We sit on top of Liam’s
