christmas had finally passed, full of family and good but it was finally new year's eve, the clock read 5:45 and i was just starting to get ready to go to coles house. he was having owen shane mark, madi emily and i over but i'm sure other people would be there. it bothered me that mark would be there but he wouldn't try shit with owen there so i would probably stick with him all night.
madi and emily were over so we could all get ready together, all of us as a group had decided to look decent incase we wanted pictures taken or anything.

i settled on a red satin and black heels, emily was wearing a short purple dress and nude heels and madi was wearing a white top and a green skirt and white flats
"are ready to go?"i ask "yeah just a sec" emily says "em you look fine" madi tells her "oh, alana are you sure you're ok with going tonight? i mean with ..mark being there" emily asks
i had told them what happened the other day i felt they should know if we're gonna all be together tonight "yeah, i'll be alright. i can stick with owen and you guys, hey we're gonna be late, let's go" i tell them. when we get to coles house there are a bunch of cars as i figures there would be more people than us.
when we got into the house all rooms were filled with sweaty bodies and the smell of weed mixing with alcohol and who knew what other drugs
my eyes landed on owen who was already looking at me i make my way over to him "eyes up" i tell him noticing his gaze over my body "you look...really good" he tells me he was wearing a white dress shirt and black jeans the top two buttons of his shirt were undone making my eyes drift up and down "eyes up" he mimics "you look pretty ok" i tell him "how nice of you" he says sarcastically
we spend the next hour drinking and talking to one another, our conversation was interrupted by mark walking through the front door owen takes a sharp breath while his fists clenched
"hey look at me" i whisper to him his gaze breaks off mark and meets my eyes "you're better than him owen, don't do anything stupid, please" i say quietly he nods and looks at the ground "let's get a drink" i suggest "sure" he was clearly pissed off and he has every reason to be but i didn't want any bad shit to happen tonight
"hey alana!" shane says pulling me into a hug "hey!" i hug him back "you let me know if anyone bothers you tonight alright?" he whispers i nod knowing he wasn't kidding "you'll be the first person to know" i laugh
i walk back to owen who's making a drink by the counter "don't drink too much tonight" i say "why not" he asks "i don't want to have to babysit" i laugh "you're gonna be drunk off your ass by ten thirty" he tells me "no i won't, i'm not planning on drinking that much" "right" he nods not believing me i gently hit his shoulder
we were sat back down where we were before only now sharing a seat on the sofa "did i mention you look hot" he whispers while his hands explore my thighs "you might have said something about it"
cole sits down pulling madi onto his lap "oh hi" i say to her but eyeing cole "oh hi" she says doing the same to owen but only looking at his hands wondering on my legs "where have your two been?" i ask "oh...you know just partying" "right" i say clearly not believing her
i had no idea what was going on between owen and i, there's no way i could actually like him but something about him i couldn't get enough of and it wasn't just the sex i look down at him to see him mid conversation with cole, his hands were traveling up and down my thigh while mine soothed the back of his neck, there was no doubt we were comfortable with each other but we've never had a serious conversation like that before
a few minutes later mark walks over with a guy i hadn't seen before, his face has cleared up a little only light bruising but it as barely noticeable. owens grip on my leg had become tiger as his arm snaked around my waist holding onto me as if i were about to fall
"this is ian, he wanted to meet you guys after i had told him what happened between us" mark says "hey" ian says the guys nodded but madi had i had stayed silent, i knew it was making her uncomfortable to have mark here with us but i had no control over it
"alana? right?" he adds "mhm" my eyes stay on my hands avoiding this whole situation "mark was right, you are hot when you're wearing almost nothing" ian says laughing my head shot up to meet his eyes "kidding, but you are hot" he shrugs i turn my head the slighted way to meet marks gaze "alana" madi whispers i somehow manage to get out of owens grip, i had to hand it to him he hadn't said anything so i was honestly surprised "shorter than i had pictured" ian says i grab my drink from the table and pour it over marks head, letting the cup leave my hand then walking away
"alana" i hear owen call out but i have no intentions of staying in this house while mark is here "baby" he sighs this makes me stop and i had no idea what part of the house we were in "alana" i turn to face him holding back any emotions so i don't breakdown there "are you ok" he asks "never better" i scoff he walks towards me wrapping his arms around me "how could he just say that to him and think it's okay" i ask "hes mark, he's narcissistic"
"what do i do" "i'll talk to him" he says i back away from his grip "owen that won't end well for anyone please don't" "i can make him leave" "it's not worth it" i sigh "fine"
