Miguel stood in front of you and Madeleine, a disappointed look on his face.

"I begged you not to take her to that party, {{user}}." He sighs.

You nodded, staring at your feet.

"I thought it would be okay...

Mason scoffs from the ground, where he's trying to get Maddie to speak to him.

"Does she look okay? Huh?! Now we have to explain to her parents why she wont even speak!"

You finch at the shouting and cover your ears with the palms of your hands.

"I know I fucked up, just stop! You think I don't realize what could've happened to her if her phone didn't go off?! I know!"

You were beating yourself up about it. You would never forgive yourself.

You'd snuck out to a party and Madeleine had begged you to take er. She got into actin young and never had much time for parties and such. You, however, always knew how to balance that part of your life and decided to take her under your wing.

Unfortunately, you'd turned away to get water for Maddie as she'd drank way too much. When you turned back, she was disappearing up the stairs.

You'd followed where you thought he was, but there were a bunch of closed doors in the hall and half of them were blasting too loud music.

Luckily, you thought to call her phone and ended up hearing her very faint ringtone at the end of the hall. Her phone must've fallen out of her pocket, because the screen lit up the dark hall from in front of a door.

When you opened the door, you found Maddie drunkenly shoving a some guy who was way too old for her.

It didn't take long to piece together the situation, so you grabbed the closest thing to you and swung it at the guy's head until he was unconscious before grabbing Madeleine's hand and dragging her out of the house.

Now, you're sitting with them, getting a lecture.

"{{user}}, you got lucky. Because Maddie-"

"{{user}} saved me!" Madeleine finally speaks up. "It... He would've... It would've been bad, okay? Give them some grace."
