Ok guys, before you continue reading, I just want to point out that the characters names may be your name also, but there is no connection. I just come up with names in my stories that I think would fit my characters. Ok, that's all I've got to say for now, so ENJOY! :D
As we walk in, we're immediately hit by the smell of alcohol. I look around me, trying to find an empty seat.
"Hey, lets go sit over there," I say to Rayne, pointing to a sofa.
Ok, you go ahead and go sit. I'm gonna go get a rum and coke. Do you want anything?" Rayne asks me, backing away.
"No thanks," I say, pushing through the crowd of people dancing. I sit down, looking around at my surroundings.
"Ok, so have you seen him yet?" Rayne asks, plopping down beside me.
I look at her blankly. "Seen who?" I ask.
"Adam! Hey!" Rayne says, looking over my shoulder. I turn around to see him standing behind the sofa.
"Hey," He replies, looking around. I shift uncomfortably. "Hey, I'll see you later…" He says before walking off.
"Mmm, baby, you look hot," Kyle, Rayne's boyfriend says, coming up behind the sofa and whispering in her ear. "Come and dance with me," He says, coming around the sofa to grab her hand and pull her up as the remix of Lollipop by Framing Hanley blares through the speakers.
"You'll be alright?" Rayne turns to ask me, having to yell over the music.
"Yeah," I yell back, meaning the exact opposite. She walks away, squeezing through the crowd to find a vacant spot on the make-shift dance floor. "Well, so much for not abandoning me," I sigh to myself, getting up and walking out to the back yard, looking around for anyone I might know. I sigh again, realizing I don't know a single person. I walk back inside and go to the counter where all the drinks are set up, only to see that the only thing left is straight vodka. I pour myself a tiny bit, drinking it quickly to try and prevent anyone seeing me. Apparently, it's a wasted effort.
"I thought you didn't drink?" A deep voice says in my ear. I spin around to see, God help me, Devon.
"What do you want?" I say with a sigh, pushing past him, trying to make it clear that I don't want to talk to him. He doesn't get the hint.
"How about we go someplace quiet?" He asks, lightly trailing his fingers down my arm. I take a step back, looking completely disgusted.
"How about you go jump off a cliff," I say, smiling sweetly. He moves closer to me, a hungry look in his eyes.
"Come on baby, you know you want this," He says, trying to push on me, but I take another step back, making him stumble slightly.
"I said no Devon," I say quietly. I keep backing up, trying to get some space between us, but he keeps coming.
"Awh, Avery come on!" He whines, pulling my wrist. I start to speak, but I'm suddenly cut off.
"Is there a problem?" A voice that I don't recognize asks. While I'd been trying to get away from Devon, a tall guy had appeared by my side. I look up, trying to see who he is, and find deep green eyes staring down at me. "Is there a problem?" He asks again, his eyebrows rising in question as he stares down at me.
"I, um, h-he was trying to, uh, get me to, um, sleep with him," I stutter, as I continue looking into his eyes. I watch his eyes change as he glances at Devon, then back at me. He turns toward Devon, giving him a very hostile look.
"I don't EVER want to see you within a hundred feet from her again. If I do, I will NOT act as calmly as I am now," He tells him, his voice low and menacing. "Do I make myself clear?" He asks, just as quietly. Devon's eyes widen slightly, as he takes a step back.
"Ye-yeah man. I get it," Devon says as he backs away, throwing one more glance in my direction. As soon as he's out of sight, the guy turns back to me, looking concerned.
"You alright?" He asks, looking me over quickly, his eyes lingering on the wrist Devon had grabbed. I make the mistake of looking into his eyes again, and find my gaze being locked on his.
"I, um, yes. I-I'm okay," I stutter again, my eyes still locked on his.
"Alright, good," He says as he turns and starts walking away. I hesitate only a moment, considering my options. I quickly make my decision and follow him, moving fast to catch up with him.
You can throw bricks, I'm wearing my helmet today :D Lol just kidding please don't! So what do you think? Leave me a review and let me know!
