Watching Kavi walk away lifted an invisible weight off of Ariels shoulders that she had been carrying around for a while. Unfortunately, when the old weight was lifted, it was immediately replaced with another. Was letting him go really the right thing? It [i]had[/i] to be. No matter how much it hurt, she knew that this [i]had[/i] to be the right thing for them both. She made her look like an idiot, and she broke his nose. Nothing about that was healthy. But yet ---

As Ryland took the mic from the DJ, Ariel threw away another cup. Already extremely drunk, she didn't go for the punch this time, but instead a bottle of water. Twisting the top off as she took a drink, the young woman nearly choked when she heard her name. Quite a few heads turning her way didn't help her current state of embarrassment. Turning a light shade of red, Ariel turned quickly on her heel to find a place to hide. Maybe the bathroom? Behind a group of tall people? Walk out the door? Whatever would work. 

Hurrying off as Rye continued to tell her to follow her heart or whatever other cheesy thing, Ariel clenched her jaw in frustration.

As he started to sing, Ariel quickened her speed. She had to get out of here. 

Not really paying attention to what direction she was going in, Ariel ran straight into none other than Sawyer - both of them tumbling to the ground as she was shoved from behind by someone who began throwing up in the trash can. Looks like the vodka was working on more than just her. 

[color=00eddd]"I'm so sorry,"[/color] she slurred, doing her best to get up from the floor.[/indent][/indent][/indent][/color]
