The party was really hot, and there was enough alcohol being passed around for everyone to get totally wasted.

Unfortunately, Kyle doesn't drink.

Having a Dad, an Uncle, and an Aunt who were all cops means you have to listen to a bunch of stories about people who do stupid or dangerous things while drunk.

Kyle decided it was better to not drink than risk doing something stupid and his Dad finding out, which he would as he find's out everything.

Just because Kyle didn't drink doesn't mean his friends didn't.

Justin was on his fourth beer, Lauren was completely wasted, and Seth was starting to do shots of whiskey, the only one who wasn't drinking besides Kyle was Nikki, who's medication for a heart condition made drinking, not a good idea.

"So your fine driving the nimrods home?"Kyle asks when he noticed it was almost past his curfew.

"Yeah, I'll drop them off and you can do it next time,"Nikki says before taking another sip of her diet coke.

"See you tomorrow,"Kyle says referring to the plan for him to go over to Nikki's and study for an upcoming biology test.

"See you then,"Nikki says as she goes to go stop Lauren from leaving with the captain of the basketball team.

As Kyle is leaving the house he gets a text from his Dad reminding him of his curfew.

Kyle sends him one back saying he was leaving the party and he should be home in twenty minutes.

Kyle had parked his car down the street from the house and as he was walking down the poorly lit road he becomes aware of the fact he could hear footsteps behind him.

Nervous, Kyle wraps his hand around the can of pepper spray that his Dad always made him carry in case he might need it that was hidden in the front pocket of his hoodie.

When he heard someone call out his name, Kyle stops and slowly turns around to an unfamiliar face.

He wasn't sure what was happening, but he knew for sure that he wasn't going to make it home in twenty minutes.
