Chapter 16: The Party
Nessie POV
The rest of the week passed fast. Before I knew it was Friday and the party was tonight. Jacob hadn't been to school since he left me in the parking lot on Wednesday. I shuddered at the thought. I was in PE alone. Lots of people came up and asked me to go partners with them. Okay I use the term people loosely, a lot of boys asked me to go partners with them. It seems they saw me on Wednesday and thought I looked good.
Josh on the other hand was becoming a problem, he was telling people that we were officially a couple. I had no say in the matter. Now most of the school knew me as Josh's girl. He warned off other boys, but it didn't mean that they didn't try. Me and Jess arranged that she would come to mine after school and get ready together. One good thing came out of this me, Jess and Heather were becoming great friends. I preferred Jess. She was a lot more open. Heather was always with Leon.
Gym was nearly over, only 10 minutes left. All the way through gym everyone was talking about the party. How good it would be? Who was going? What should I wear?. These were the most frequent asked questions. The bell rang, I literally danced out of the gym. Jess would be waiting near my locker. I speed changed and walked out of the changing room, only to be stopped by Bianca Davis. For some unknown reason she hated me, I couldn't say I was fond of her either.
"are you going to Heathers party tonight" she said in her babyish voice.
"yes, is that a problem" I replied.
"no I was just wondering that's all" she replied and walked past me. I really hated her. I carried on walking until I saw Jess leaning against my locker. She had her earphones in and was bobbing her head along with the music. Once she had her earphones in she was completely gone to the world. World War 2 could be happening and she would be oblivious. She was facing in the opposite direction of my locker. I slammed it shut, causing her to turn around.
"Nessie. You scarred me half to death" she exclaimed. I shook my head.
"come on my brother will be waiting" I simply replied. We started walking towards the parking lot. I saw every car that belonged to my family gone. I mean every car not even daddy was here. Ok now I am confused how the hell were we supposed to get home.
"hey Nessie" a deep voice called. I turned my head to see Seth stood next to his motorcycle. I remember when he got that he and Jacob used to ride with mum on hers. I was still confused. How could two of us fit on his bike.
There was a small crowd around Seth but I could still see him. There was a larger crowd stood next to him. My eyes widened when the crowd started to part. There stood next to his bike was Jacob. Now he decides to come. I took a deep breath and walked over.
"Nessie are these our rides home" Jess asked with excitement in her voice. I simply nodded. We reached them in minutes.
"hey ladies, looks like we are your ride home" Seth said in a fake British accent. "shall we get going" he continued. I was hoping Jess would go with Jacob, but instead she decided Seth's bike looked better. Great. Jess got on the back of his bike and held onto his waist.
I could feel Jacob staring at me, waiting for my answer. I looked at the ground. I heard Seth speed off leaving me with a waiting Jacob. Perfect. I took a deep breathe and straddled over the bike. Placing my bag securely on my back, I placed my arms around his waist and he sped off. When I got home after the party daddy was going to have a lot of explaining to do.
It took only 20 minutes to get home. He pulled into the driveway, I could see Seth and Jess talking. They both turned around when they saw us coming. Once the bike had come to a complete stop I pulled myself off, unfortunately I caught myself on the side of the bike and fell flat on my face. Great add this to the list of things you shouldn't inherit from your mother. Clumsiness. I felt a pair of warm hands grab my waist and pull me upright.
I turned my head to look at who had picked me up. To my amazement it was Jacob. Well today just keeps on getting better. He let go of me and I said thank you and walked into the house.
It was now 6:00 pm. Josh and Harrison were coming at 6:30pm. Jess had decided to wear her hair up and curly. She wore a red coloured halter top, a skirt and a pair of red stilettos. Me on the other hand I had my hair down and curly. I wore a lemon halter top, a pair of white shorts and a pair of lemon peep toe wedges. Daddy wasn't happy with the choice of clothing because he told me to go put on a jumper. Aunt Alice smacked him and told him no. The boys arrived on time and we got into the car.
We drove for about 30 minutes until we reached a picturesque house. It was white and was like it was brought out of a fairytale. I saw a line of cars parked outside and continuing down the road leading up to it. This was obviously Heathers house. Harrison parked a little away so we had to walk. It was a nice night, warm. Well for Forks anyway. Harrison held Jess's hand and walked in front of us. Josh put his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him as we walked.
The music was loud enough that you could probably hear it from across town. We heard cheers and screams of joy as we got closer, people were outside kissing and drinking. I took a deep breath and walked into the house.
It had been a couple of hours since we arrived, I think it was about 10:30pm but I couldn't be sure. Josh was off talking to his friends, Jess and Harrison disappeared upstairs not to long ago. I couldn't imagine what they were doing. So I was alone, stood next to the drinks table. I saw Heather and waved, to my amazement she wasn't with Leon. She started walking over.
"hey Heather, great party" I shouted over the loud music. She simply nodded in return. Okay this was not like her at all.
"so where is Leon, I thought you two would be together" I asked loudly. This time she looked at me.
"it wasn't working so we broke up. Now I can date whoever I want" she replied in a cold voice. Wow this was awkward, great Nessie you put your foot right init there.
"sorry" was all I could say. She simply sighed and said she would see me later. With that she walked off. I turned my attention back to the dancing teens, bumping and grinding together. I looked through the crowds looking for someone to talk to. Okay not someone Jacob. He said he would be here didn't he? I scanned the room, I caught Harrison's eye and he started coming over.
"hey Harrison, where's Jess" I asked. He looked a little dazed and out of it.
"she's somewhere around here" he replied. His voice was slurred and slow. He was having trouble standing up, he held onto the drinks table for support.
"okay" was all I replied.
"you know Josh will probably kill me for saying this, but you look very pretty tonight" he replied, slurred trying to hold himself up. Great I was being hit on by a drunk kid. I simply nodded and looked in the other direction.
"here why don't you have a drink with me" he asked holding out a cup in his hand. I looked at it a moment, I was thirsty but could I really trust him.
"no thanks not thirsty" I replied. He sighed and put the cup down. I noticed Leon and Josh talking in the corner. They caught my eye, josh smiled at me and called Harrison over. He walked over grabbing everything in his path to stop him falling over. It was funny to watch. I decided to look for Jess.
Heathers house was massive. There had to be more than 11 rooms. They were all filled with teenagers, teenagers who were experiencing new things. One room I walked into, well lets put it this way after the party was over I would completely redecorate the room. I shuddered at the thought. I searched every room and found no Jess. Harrison was still talking to Josh and Leon, so she couldn't have gone home.
I was beginning to get hot, I mean searching for Jess here was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. It was impossible, I took a seat on the end of a couch that wasn't being used. Eww, you think they could at least wait until there alone. I guess not.
"hey babe" a voice called, I turned my head to see Josh stood in front of me. Babe was the nickname he started to call me. He made the mistake of calling me it in front of daddy, lets just say thank God uncle Emmett was there to hold him back. Otherwise bye, bye Josh it was nice knowing you. He held out a drink for me to take. What was it with these guys and drinks. At that moment I was hot and very dehydrated, so I took it. It tasted funny at first but it still quenched my thirst.
"Jess was looking for you" he said taking the cup off me.
"really where is she" I asked trying to contain my curiosity.
"upstairs in the back bedroom" he replied. That's strange I never saw her up there, I must have missed her. Who could blame me there were about 300 teenagers here. I stood up and felt a little dizzy, wow head rush. I shook it off and made my way to the stairs. I could feel Josh behind me.
I got to the top of the stairs and began to feel faint, okay this was strange I had never felt like this before. I must be tired. I carried on walking to the last bedroom at the end of the hall and opened the door.
I ventured into the room, nope Jess wasn't in here. Maybe Josh had it wrong. I spun around on my heals and felt even more dizzy. I grabbed onto the side of the bed for support. This was much more than just being tired.
I looked up to see Josh stood in the doorway, I swear I could see a smile on his face. But my vision was blurry. I opened my mouth to speak but Josh cut me off.
" shh don't worry babe everything will be fine, I promise" what the hell. How can he call this fine. Darkness began to take over my eyes. I felt myself fall down onto the bed. I heard footsteps coming closer.
"did you do it" an eager voice asked
"yes, soon we will be able to have our fun" a sinister voice replied. Before I closed my eyes I saw three figures stood at the door. That was it I let the darkness wash over me.
Okay guys tell me what you think. Xxx
