Chapter 2:
I sighed helplessly as Blake and Jesse ran off to join some guys and made my way to the front door following a group of girls.
"This is going to be the party of the year!"
"I know right! I hope Noel talks to me this time."
"He didn't talk to me either probably because I had ratty as shoes on."
They must have such hard lives I laughed to myself.
"Ladies, ladies welcome refreshments are in the kitchen." A tall, muscular, extremely attractive guy greeted us.
"And who are you?" He asked when blocking me from entering the house.
"I-I'm Nikita. Aria invited me." I replied looking around for my brothers or the Montgomery's for help, but there was no one around this side of the house.
"Yes, Mike told me he was inviting you, I'm Noel," Noel winked making me melt on the inside. Wow! Guys usually never had this effect on me, I was even dubbed the heartbreaker back home, "Well come in, can't have a pretty little thang like you missing out on the party." I took Noel's outstretched hand and he led me to the extensive backyard where the main action was happening, and when I say backyard I meant a field bigger than my house.
"Hay Nikita!" Aria said shooing Noel off. I was so happy to see a familiar face I returned her hug warmly which was strange for me. I wasn't exactly a hugger.
"These are my friends Emily, Hanna and Spencer." Aria pointed to a few girls who had gathered around her. They all seemed distant, Emily was looking expectantly at her phone as if she was waiting for a text, Hanna was craning her neck looking around the huge property for her boyfriend I was guessing and Spencer was staring off in to the distance.
"Why do you look so familiar?" I asked staring directly at Hanna, there was something about her that... I don't know, reminded me of someone I used to know.
"Nikita! Don't you remember me? I guess a lot has changed since we last met." Hanna responded breaking her glance from the crowd to me. Then it came back to me, I had been visiting cousins out of New York. Really really annoying cousins that drove me so crazy I had left the house and made my way down to a park down the road. There were these three girls, two having a fabulous time playing around and a girl sitting sadly on a swing. Man, Hanna had changed a lot! She was no longer the chubby, sad girl she used to be.
"The park back in 7th grade!" I said, making sure I realized I did know who she was.
"I met Nikita when I was visiting Dad with Ali." Hanna told the other girls who looked a bit lost.
"I heard what happened to her, I'm so sorry." I said noticing how they tensed at Ali's name. The conversation was awkwardly stringed along for a few more minutes before Emily got the text she was waiting for and ran off, Hanna found her boyfriend and Aria and Spencer claimed they had something to do. Yay all alone again! I made my way to the kitchen and grabbed three shots downing them quickly and began to make some more for myself.
"Whoa! Steady on the vodka, the party's just started." Mike said taking my hand away from the bottle.
"How am I going to get drunk without it?" I joked, it was actually the truth which was the sad thing.
"If that's the case you must share it with me." Mike replied looking offended I hadn't suggested it. I'm sure it was mock offense. I picked up a full bottle of vodka to accompany the half empty one Mike had pried from my hands and followed him to a secluded area of Noel's property. By the time we had gotten ourselves comfortable we were already starting on the second bottle.
"What brings you to Rosewood anyway?" Mike asked taking a swig from the bottle. This question made me laugh, partly because I was a little drunk, partly because of the answer.
"Do you know what the sad thing is Mikey? I don't even know."
"Did your parents have to move for work or something?" Mike asked, genuinely interested which came as a shock. All the people at my old school never asked, they just cried which was actually worse.
"Jobs? Mom has never worked a day in her life and Dad can work wherever and whenever he wants."
"Why don't you just ask why you left then?"
"You've got to learn something about my family Mikey, you don't ask questions, especially not to Mom and Dad. Things just happen, whether we like it or not." I frowned saying this out loud really made us seem like terrible people.
"YOINK! Thanks for this, hardly touched too!" Someone called grabbing our bottle and pouncing off. When I went to protest Mike stopped me, pulling me into him.
"Trust me there is a lot more where that came from." He winked at me, letting his hand trail along my thigh.
"Sorry, just people don't usually mess with me." I replied, giggling slightly as his fingers brushed my skin tickling me.
"Were you some big bully?"
"Something like that, my brothers and I were more... teen royalty back in New York." I sighed remembering school. People were constantly showering us with presents, trying to befriend us, they would stop and stare in the halls. If any student got with one of us at a party or dated us they were basically sorted for the rest of their life. The guy I lost my virginity to? Lets just say what we did together got him a pretty good reputation. My brothers and I could make or break anyone, including teachers. I wagged and broke about every school rule, not that the teachers cared. No detentions tarnishing my record and Straight A's! Put down to hard work of keeping my status and performing a few... favors for the teachers if they were more stubborn.
"I don't know if Rosewood has ever had people like that, the freaks would never let us have that kind of control." Nice, subtly telling me that he was popular.
"People used to praise the ground I walked on, that's why I didn't want to leave New York."
"Sup bro!" Noel fist bumped Mike and took a seat next to me and Mike, "Look what I brought, hope none of you are the sober drivers." Ahhh finally, alcohol.
"Noel, this is Nikita." Mike introduced us, not knowing that we had already met.
"She is as beautiful as you said she was." Noel said pretending he hadn't met me yet. I'm sure that's what he was doing so he wouldn't embarrass Mike right?
"Niki, we're leaving now." Jesse called pulling me off the dance floor. I had been dancing all night with many different guys trying to grind up against me.
"But I was having fun." I pouted, there weren't many people left now. About fifty, I guess it was my cue to leave. I followed Blake and Jesse to the car.
"Leaving without saying goodbye?" Noel said walking towards us with Mike.
"Of course not!" I replied drunkenly falling in to his open embrace.
"You are so not fit to drive home, none of you are. Crash at mine tonight." Noel kindly offered.
"We can't." Blake stated, Jesse and I nodded and began to turn away.
"No really you can, Mike is."
"If we don't come home Mom will make sure we have no more social life. We may not ever see the light of day again." Jesse said in full seriousness.
"Well I can't let you guys walk home alone, you don't even know the way." Noel replied.
"Mikey could take us, he knows the way." I giggled.
"Yeah, I'll take them." Mike smiled leading us out of the driveway.
"Don't you need to get Aria?" Blake asked, of course Blake wanted Aria to come along.
"That's a good point, Mom will freak if we don't come home together." Mike pulled out his phone and a few minutes later Aria and Spencer met us at the top of the driveway.
"Hay I'm Jesse, who might you be?" Spencer blushed, typical of Jesse, trying to pick up a girl. We began making our way down the long road and soon we had all split into pairs. Aria and Blake were leading the group, Jesse and Spencer were closely following while Mike and I dawdled behind.
"So who do you think will get the girlfriend first, Blake or Jesse?" I whispered leaning close into Mike's ear.
"What do ya mean?" He asked looking confused.
"Oh you so don't know my brothers! Why don't you go talk to them? Maybe you'll figure it out."
"Jesse, Blake! Haven't talked to you guys in a while! Lets walk." Mike said throwing his arms around my brothers shoulders. I couldn't help but laugh at the glares my brothers gave me.
"Mike is such a loser." Aria commented as we fell into step with Spencer.
"I dunno I think he's kinda cute." Spencer said dreamily staring at the boys.
"MIKE?" Aria and I yelled in unison causing Spencer to snap out of her daze and Mike to look at us strangely.
"Oh we're talking about Mike, my bad."
"I can't believe you like Jesse, really out of all people. That's disgusting." I said shaking my head.
"I meant I don't really know him, but he doesn't seem your type Spence." Aria said agreeing with me. Hold up!
"You're no better! Blake? Ew, I'm sorry just really, my brothers guys?" I sighed in resignation. They hugged me before telling me just how much they liked my brothers.
"EWW PLEASE STOP TALKING!" I yelled, ew mental image right now. They laughed and we continued walking making a sharp left.
"Aaargh!" I screamed stumbling over. I felt a hot pain shooting up my leg and could hear a loud crack. "Shit! Not the heels, please say my heels aren't broken!" My eyes were closed and I was so scared that my brand new Chanel heels were broken.
"Your heels are fine, not too sure about you!" Spencer said gingerly touching my ankle. This just sent worse pain shooting down my ankle causing me to scream.
"Guys! I think she needs to go to a doctor." Spencer said to the small group that had gathered around me.
"No! Really I'm fine, I just need to sleep on it and then I promise I will be in perfect condition." I said willing myself to get up.
"Niki! We are not letting you walk on that!" Blake said being the big brother he was.
"Please just wait till the morning? Mom will kill us if she meets us at the hospital instead of home!" I said, pulling the mom card always worked.
"Fine, but we're not letting you walk." Jesse said defiantly.
"I have idea. Mike you piggy back her." Aria said trying not to laugh.
"Piggy back?" I repeated.
"Well yeah! I always used to piggy back Aria when she got hurt." Mike shrugged.
"Okay okay piggy back it is." I said throwing my hands up in mock surrender.
A while later we got back to my house, Spencer and Jesse had a little kiss good night, my boy Jesse. Aria and Blake awkwardly hugged goodbye but I could feel the sexual tension in the air, as could everyone else. And as for Mike and I, he piggy backed me to the door.
"So I'll see you round." Mike said setting me down.
"Definitely." I said giving Mike a hard passionate kiss that he was sure to remember.
