We drove in to the scene at approximately nine o'clock and there's no telling when we can get out. Zack started the introductions and introduced me to some really cool people and some not so cool ones. I tried my best to keep it simple and not really making a bad first impression. I wouldn't want people back biting about me tomorrow now did I? Well I didn't so I just waved and said hi whenever I needed to and made some small talk with people who asked me questions.
Zack and I walked around some more and I noticed that there were a lot of people here. But one thing that I didn't like about this party was that Kevin was also present with another girl in his arms. I don't think he saw me since he was too busy sticking his tongue in that girl's mouth. I turned away from the atrocious view and smiled at Zack who looked at me with concern.
"You okay?" he asked sincerely.
"Yea, I'm fine, don't worry about me." I simply said and we walked to the other side of the house hand in hand.
"Wait here, I'll be right back." He said settling me down on an empty couch as he disappeared in the sea of people before me. He was probably heading to the kitchen to fix himself a drink. I looked around and waved at the people who I got introduced to as they passed by.
Minutes seemed to pass by slowly as more people started flooding in to the house. I saw Alex and Cassie outside playing a game of beer pong with Jack and Rian and a whole lot of other people who I didn't know. I never really thought that I'd be in some kinda party like this right now. I mean I never really imagined myself being the girlfriend of a band member. It wasn't really my scene…until now.
"Hey there beautiful," a guy with black scene hair and piercing green eyes greeted sitting down beside me. I turned my body to face him as he chugged down the rest of his drink.
"Hey," I said. "I'm Brooke," I introduced. I let out a hand for him to shake.
"I'm Craig," he said taking my hand but instead of shaking it, he brought it to his lips and kissed it. "What's a pretty looking lady like you doing all alone?" he asked bringing my hand down but not really letting go. I tried to loosen my grip on his hand but that didn't really do anything.
"Well I'm just waiting for-"
"She's waiting for me," Zack said suddenly appearing with two red cups in his hand. Craig let go of my hand and his eyes started to fill with fear.
"Oh-uh, sorry I didn't know," Craig stuttered walking away as fast as he could.
"I'm sorry I didn't-"
"Don't worry about it, Craig's an asshole," he said handing me a red cup as he sat beside me.
"Thanks," I said retrieving the cup from him. I took a quick swig from it and realized exactly what he placed inside. Vodka and sprite kinda my favorite, somewhat my type.
I remember the first time I drank something alcoholic. It was one time during summer. I was in one of my friend's party and it wasn't really what I expected it to be. I mean the invitation said that it would just be a masquerade ball. I didn't really think it'd go out of proportion and turn into a drink-all-the-alcohol-you-want fest. But that was high school and I guess if you did have a party; it would definitely include something alcoholic and something to keep you high i.e. drugs and all that crap. I was never really in to anything like that and I never had a smoke or a drink at the time but as you grow, things change right? Well my point of view about drug abuse didn't change but alcohol? Let's just say that's a whole different story.
There were also a lot of people in that party and it was held in the ballroom of one of my classmate's hotels. Zack was there too and well he was with his friends but I didn't really know where he was since well we were all masked and you know…you can't really tell who's who.
He approached me out of the blue and said "Hey there," he had no idea that the girl he was talking to was in fact his best friend so I just told him that it was me and he told me to play along since he was in one of those stupid bets guys make. If he approached some other girl, I swear it wouldn't only be a drink-all-the-alcohol-you-want fest but it would also be a hurt palooza. To tell you the truth, yes, I was hurt but I know how these bet things worth and well I kinda knew that if I didn't do what I did, he and I wouldn't be in good terms afterward.
Anyway, back to reality, after a couple more chugs of what Zack gave me, we started making out on the couch. I wasn't really a big fan of PDA but what the hell. We all have to try it some time right?
I thought everything was going to be alright that was until something flashed right in front of us. Seconds later, it occurred to me that there were cameras but Zack held on way tighter. It didn't really hurt but it was kinda tight. I peeked through one eye just to see that other people were whispering right in front of us. It was weird really.
"Do you mind?" Zack said after he broke away. He was starting to get annoyed and his mood slowly started to change. Knowing Zack for so long, I don't think you'd want to see him angry and I'm not sure if this was the alcohol or if this was really him but either way, I still wouldn't want to mess with him.
"Sorry," I heard one say with some kinda attitude in her tone and with that they all started to disperse. I turned to him and stroked his cheek. He grabbed my hand and sighed heavily.
"I'm really sorry about this," he said and I used my free hand to lift his chin up.
"It's okay Zack. You can't really not expect this to happen to you I mean you guys are really big now so a little piece of advice: Always expect the unexpected." I said and he smiled.
"Really? Well you and I, I never really expected us to happen so does that count?" he said as he leaned in and I smiled.
"I guess," I said wrapping my arms around his neck and allowing his tongue to linger in my mouth.
