Chapter 6: Party Pooper

Riley's POV

"Give me a ride PLEASE!!" I pleaded for what felt like the hundredth time in that one minute.

"And why should I?" Kai looked down at me his eyebrow rose questioningly.

"Because you know I'm cute!" I chirped as his face fell.

"No,"

"Just give her a god damn ride!" Kara walked into the entrance hall, her face held an annoyed expression as she kicked her brother hard in the shin.

"Oww!" Kai groaned whilst massaging his leg.

A smirk grew on the twelve year olds face as she watched her brother in amusement.

"KAI!! Come on or we'll be late!!" I screamed grabbing hold of Kai's arm and pulling him towards the door, which believe me was very hard in heels!

We arrived at Mariam's house with about seconds to spare before the start of the party.

Mariam had asked me to be here early, you know the whole stress of a birthday party, and guess what! I AM HER FRIEND!! Believe it or not, but I have to be here early to support her. God, I'm turning into a marriage councillor rather than a teenager.

I skipped up to the front door and knocked.

"Thank GOD!" I heard a feminine voice shout from the other side of the door and shortly after the large mahogany front door opened to a very stressed Mariam.

"Oh my god!" I screamed as I took in Mariam's appearance, her hair was a wet mess, she had a bathrobe on and there was not one drop of happiness or excitement on her face.

"Kai! Don't look," Mariam whaled as she ran up the stairs towards her bedroom.

"To late," He muttered amused to which I whacked him hard on the head.

"Go do… errr… what ever you usually do… you know stupid boy stuff, okay?" Sometimes I really think that he could be such a wanker, cold-hearted asshole with a dick for a brain, hey hey, maybe that's right.

Kai walked off into the kitchen grumbling something about ungratefulness for giving me a ride and stuff, but at that moment, I really didn't care. I just managed to catch sight of Mariam's younger brother by a year, before I ran upstairs to tend to Mariam's nerves.

"What am I going to do?" Mariam cried as I reached her bedroom and walked in.

"Come on, it's not that bad!" I soothed sitting down next to her and hoping to hell that I can keep that up. After all, she did look like a mess, a massive mess; the only thing that could fix this is a miracle.

A miracle?

That gives me an idea.

I grabbed my phone and found Mariah's number.

"Who are you calling?" Mariam demanded through tears.

"A miracle," I muttered.

"Hello?" A voice answered cheerfully.

"Get your butt here right now!" I yelled before hanging up. Grabbing Mariam's arm I pulled her into the bathroom and began to comb the mess on her head.


30 minutes later…

"I think my work is done here," Mariah announced finally stepping away from Mariam, and I must say, we had done an amazing job in the little time we had.

"Wow," I sighed collapsing onto Mariam's bed and resting my head on one of the pillows.

"RILEY!!" Mariah screeched.

"What?" I asked confused, my ears ringing.

"You'll mess up your hair!" She frowned at me as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Yeah, yeah," I rolled my eyes before standing up and heading for the door.

"Where are you going?" Mariam asked as she looked at herself in the mirror.

"Downstairs," I replied absentmindedly.

Mariam really did look amazing tonight, she had a gothic mini dress on that I had fixed after the small tear that appeared on one of the seams. The dress matched her leather knee-high boots and her hair was pinned up, with loops and spirals everywhere, giving her a very old fashioned but still modern look.

When I got downstairs the party had been well and truly started, probably all Josephs work but I know Mariam wouldn't mind.

"Hey Ri," I male voice broke through my thoughts as my eyes met turquoise.

"What do you want?" I asked narrowing my eyes at the teen in front of me.

"Just saying hi," He replied in an offended tone.

"Whatever," I replied pushing him out of the way and heading for the group of boys that were standing in the kitchen.

"Hey Riley, looking good," Ray grinned as he took in my appearance.

Wait until you see Mariam, I mean, my dress is only a black mini, nothing fancy, I was going for the whole classical look that I haven't chosen before. Like Jamie always says, better to stay original than copy others.

"Thanks," I smiled warmly at Ray. Damn he looks good in that white t-shirt. I guess he didn't make much of an effort dressing tonight. Then again, neither has Kai or any of the other boys.

"Come on Kai," I smirked as he raised an eyebrow questioningly.

I took his hand and placed it round my shoulders before guiding him towards the living are where the soul of the party was.

"No way!" Hr began to fight but I kept on pulling.

"Yes!" I laughed at the face he pulled before winning and finally pulling him onto the dance floor.

Spanish or Latin American music escaped the speakers, not really surprising when you know that Mariam and her brother Joseph are both from Spain and love their country.

I wrapped my arms round his neck and rested my head on his shoulder to which he finally responded by placing his arms round my waist and we began to dance to the Hispanic beat.

"I can't believe I'm doing this!" He muttered.

"I can!" I grinned taking me head off his shoulder and facing him. Damn why does he have to have those gorgeous auburn eyes that make me want to melt?

Kai rolled those sexy eyes of his at me before I spun around and replaced my hands round his neck.

"Why is Tala being so nice to me al of a sudden?" I asked looking back up at him after a moments silence in which I inspected the people around me.

"He is?" Kai asked obviously as amazed as I was.

"Yeah, he said hi to me and everything," I replied thoughtfully remembering what had happened only moments before.

Is he hot or what?! I mean the way he just looked at me right then, god!! I would have given him my soul if he had asked me to.

"Wow," Kai grinned.

"What?" I asked suspiciously.

"Well maybe, he likes you," Kai joked.

"WHAT??" I practically yelled but realised in time, I'm not stupid you know.

"Well it would explain a lot," He smirked this time.

"Like what?" I raised both eyebrows at him.

"The fact that he was always so mean to you before, the only way to hide his burning desire for you," Kai laughed as I pulled him off the dance area.

"No way!" I snapped smacking him on the head.

"Ouch!" He moaned rubbing his head, "That's two smacks in one night!"

"You'll get more if you don't watch it!" I snapped again before walking towards Jamie who had just appeared with Mariah at the living room door.

"What's crawled up your ass a died?" Mariah asked me when I came close enough to hear.

"Nothing, where's Mariam?" I replied changing the subject.

"Still upstairs getting ready for her grand entrance." Jamie giggled softly.

"Jamie!" I sighed pulling her into a hug.

"I'm sor-" She began to apologise but I broke her off.

"No, I'm sorry, I'll fix things at home, I promise!" I promised to which she gave me a thankful smile.

"You better!" She laughed a she pinched my nose.

"Hey! Get off!" I chuckled "Oh look, here she comes!" I smirked at Mariam; she walked down the stairs her head up high and proud. The music stopped and everyone began to assemble in the dancing area where there was the most space.

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday to you!" Everyone began to sing as the room went dim and Joseph came out from the kitchen, his hands holding a very nice looking birthday cake, on top were seventeen candles each one alight.

That's when all hell broke loose; everything was going fine until that moment. You know that feeling when you know something is about to happen but you think it's so obvious so no one is going to bother do it? Well I just had one of those, and guess what, I should have listened to my instincts.

Remember kids, always listen to your instincts, they may lead you into a better place someday. Now look at me, I'm a priest!

I think I saw the whole thing in slow motion, like it had come out of the matrix or something.

Joseph came walking in slowly towards a beaming Mariam who was standing beside the table, a knife in her hands, ready to cut her cake. Suddenly a foot comes out of nowhere and I must admit she had really nice heels, those with black straps and the buckle… Anyway getting off the point here, Joseph tripped and like expected the cake flew straight at Mariam who ducked in time and it landed straight on the wall behind with a splat.

Before I had a chance to think I had kicked off my heels, I grabbed Mercedes and pulled her out of the door into the front yard. Why is it that all this dramatic stuff always happens to me in the front yard of someone's house?

"You bitch!" I yelled at her as she escaped from my tight grip on her jean jacket.

"Look whose talking BITCH!" She snarled, glaring daggers at me.

"Why the hell did you do that to her?" I snapped returning the glare.

"This party is boring enough as it is, I wanted to make it a little more interesting," She snapped back.

Have you ever heard of a breaking point? Well everyone has one and mine had just well and truly broken.

I rounded my hand into a fist and smacked it straight into her face; a satisfying crack filled the air as I felt her nose break.

"Whore!" She screamed as the pain began to take effect.

"Next time, get it out with me, NOT with my family and friends!" I ordered before walking back into the house, loud cheering filled the air as I just realised that a crowed had formed around us.


Midnight…

"Come on RIDER!!" I heard someone yell behind me as the alcohol began to take control. I don't know how or why I had gotten into this, but at this moment I was in a drinking match with Mariam.

Two more shot glasses were filled with clear vodka after I watched Mariam swallow her last, her eyes were misty but she still managed to hold her ground.

I took my shot glass and swallowed it obediently as I felt a reassuring hand on my shoulder. To the back of the crowd that was around us I noticed that Jamie and Mariah were standing there, disapproving looks on their faces.

Fuck them!

Mariam picked up her shot glass slowly but she didn't quite manage to get it in her mouth as she dropped it on her way to the bathroom.

"TEY!" I cheered raising my hands in triumph before I felt two hands on my waist, pulling me towards the door. "Ot the ell?" I asked confused, my words slurring with my loosing concentration.

"Come on, we're going home!" A male voice ordered as my blue eyes met auburn.

"Ut I ant to stay!" I groaned wobbling slightly but Kai place his muscular arms round my waist again and steadied me.

"Riley, your completely pissed, come on! You'll thank me in the morning!" I sighed.

"Hn," I replied lamely, before following.

I leaned against Kai's Viper and waited for him to fish out the keys from his pocket.

"Shit!" He cursed, "I left them with Tala, I'll be right back," He sighed giving me an unsure look. "Stay here!"

"ES! E STAY ERE!" I tried to copy what he just said but to not luck.

With another unsure look Kai walked back into the house and disappeared through the door.

I stood there for a while, damn it was getting cold!

"Waaah!" I yelled. I reckon I wasn't paying much attention to what I was doing because the next thing I know, I was on the floor, my bum aching. And I must have been really pissed because before I knew it I was giggling madly.

I looked around and from the corner of my eye I saw something, I don't know what it was but it was white and sparkly. Trying to get my eyes to focus I stood up clumsily and began to walk in the direction of the white object.

"OOO, ot's hat?" I spoke like a child. I made my feet shuffle along, my surrounding were a complete blank the only thing I wanted to do was to get to the white sparkly object, like a cross of some kind.

There was a loud screeching noise and headlights turned on completely blinding me.

"KEEP HE NOISE OWN!" I shouted as a quiet 'brum' noise filled the air, the closer it got the louder.

Soon it was really loud and my instincts were telling my to move, but I was frozen to the spot, my feet not wanting to budge.

"RILEY!" I heard someone yell before a pair of arms grabbed me and I almost felt like I was flying. I really mean it, maybe it was the alcohol talking or maybe I'm going mad, but I really felt like I was flying.

That was until I hit the floor with a 'thump' and other body on top of mine.

"Riley, I TOLD you not to move," Once again I saw Kai, but this time he was lying on top of me. WOW!! I am really getting somewhere!!!

Kai stood up and lifted me up too, pulling me over his shoulder.

"OH MY GOD!" I heard Jamie yell from her position at the door. "Is she ok?"

"Fine, a little shaken up but fine," Kai replied.

"LET go!" I giggled madly over Kai's shoulder again.

"See," Kai sighed.

"Who done that?" Jamie asked ignoring me completely.

"I don't know," Kai replied looking over in the direction where the 'bruming' machine had left. "Look, I'll drop her off at yours tomorrow and we will talk about it then, when she's talking sense,"

With that I felt him move and he finally dropped me off in his passenger seat.

"You smell nice," I giggled shyly taking in his scent, but I wasn't clear enough to figure out what it was.

"Thanks," He replied pulling away as I heard a 'click' and my seatbelt was in place.

He shut the door behind him softly before going around and taking his seat in the drivers seat. The rest of the journey wasn't that clear, as I had dropped of into peaceful slumber.


I opened my eyes slightly as a dark room came into view. Squinting I tried to make out the time on the clock on my bedside table, 4:30am.

Kai must have carried me to bed, how sweet!! I was still in my party outfit.

That's when a sudden rush of memories came into my head and the screeching sound filled my ears again. I don't know why but I began to shiver uncontrollably, maybe it was the realisation of what happened.

I got up shakily, alcohol still roaming freely in my blood stream and walked out of my room. I don't know how I managed it or even why but I ended up walking into a door, and no sooner had I realised who's door it was but the owner also realised I was there.

"What's wrong?" Kai asked sitting up straight in his bed, no shirt on his chest so revealing the fine lines of his muscular chest.

There was something that had triggered something inside me because the next thing I know, I'm standing there leaning against the doorframe crying my eyes out.

I KNOW! What the hell is wrong with me?! There has got to be nothing more embarrassing than crying your eyes out in front of the guy you have so got the hots for!

I felt like a little kid at that moment, and maybe I wanted to be a little kid, forget about the problems of life and just let it all go. My feet shuffled along to Kai as he watched me intently.

"What happened?" He asked again after not getting an answer for the last question, but this time in a soothing voice.

He pulled me into his arms as I reached his bed and gave me a hug that I didn't want to pull out of.

"I left my heels at the party!" I cried out, more tears streaming down my face.

I felt his lips turn into a smile as he kissed the top of my head.

"Look, come here," He sighed pulling me under the covers and wrapping his arms around my waist. "We'll pick them up tomorrow,"

I watched him close his tired eyes.

"Thanks Kai," I whispered as if there was someone else in the room and I didn't want them to hear. "You're my best mate, you know that?"

"Hmm," He muttered drowsily before falling asleep.

I shuffled in his arms a bit to get comfortable before entering the land of nod as well.
