like a railroad

007

I could hear the party's music from 2 blocks away and I knew that it was going to be one of those party's where you show up and get so drunk that you crash on the couch and wake up not remembering anything.

I should ask Avani to get me some coffee for later on the way back from her dinner.

I pulled up and walked into the party waving to my friends as I walked inside. "Hey girly." Devi was walking towards we with a hot dress on. She looked stunning.

"I'm proud to be standing next to you right now." I admitted looking at her shoes. They were probably around 200 dollars and were sparkling silver.

"Shawty I've got nothin on you." She rubbed her chin and did the Kyle face. I laughed, looking to the side wondering if he was here yet.

"He's in his room, the party started a few hours ago and he wanted to change his shirt that some girl spilled on." She pointed up the stairs as if I didn't know where his room was.

"Trying to flirt I suppose?" I teased.

"They always are."

I walked up the stairs and was stopped by Anthony. "That side profile though." I just laughed and continued up the stairs. I loved how he hyped me up.

I heard noise from Vinnie's room.

As I walked into his room I saw him literally having sex with some blonde girl. "Oh shit, sorry." I quickly backtracked out of the room and jogged down the stairs.

I just wanted to go home.

Unfortunately the world doesn't just hand out what you want, and I was stopped by Josh.

"Are you okay sunshine? You look flustered." He could read me like a deck of cards.

"I'm fine silly, just drank a little too fast... went to my head." I put on my best smile and patted his shoulder as I attempted to walk away.

He grabbed the waist band of my pants and tugged me back. "Stop lying, what's wrong?" His voice was low and soft, his cold hands somehow a comfort... in a chilling way on my hips. He was towering over my slumped and defeated body, his eyes the warmest they have ever been.

"Vinnie was having sex with some girl in there." I pointed to the upstairs.

His warm eyes flashed cold and his jawline tightened. The minty gum in his mouth sitting perfectly between his white teeth.

"Dumbass." He was letting go off my hips, my guess is going to find Vinnie.

"Stop, the last thing I need right now is a tiktokroom scandal." I grabbed his wrist and he stopped his movements.

I saw a man shaped figure walking out of Vinnie's room and quickly whispered to Josh. "Can you do something important for me?" His eyes flashed to the stairway and saw the curly haired boy walking down them.

He immediately understood what I was asking and kissed me.

He was a good kisser and I knew that when I asked him. He kissed me slowly, but with a lust hidden underneath the pressure. His height led him to use his hands, lightly tilting my chin upwards, towards his soft lips.

Josh's hands traveled down to my hips, pulling me closer into the kiss. His tongue made its way into my mouth, massaging mine. Shit he was good.

Our kiss was interrupted by the man of the hour.

"Sorry for interrupting." Vinnie said, standing in front of us, his hands crossed across his chest. He looked mad. I'm delusional for finding it hot.

We turned our heads, separating from each other.

I wasn't going to apologize... what he did was worse. He asked me to come to this party. Then he did what he did.

"Do you need something?" I asked Vinnie. "To talk to you." He yanked my hand and started to pull me away.

Josh grabbed me back. "Do you need me?" He asked, ready to pull me away from Vinnie at my word. "I got this... but thank you josh." I kissed his cheek gently and let Vinnie pull me towards the outskirts of the party.

"What do you want?" I asked him, looking directly into his eyes. Most people didn't, but I wasn't going to let him think he was superior.

His hazel eyes were burning and his jaw was clenched. He brought his tongue up to the front of his mouth and pushed on the corner of his mouth.

Hot.

"What the hell was that?" He asked, pointing towards the center of the party. "What was what?" I asked, annoyed.

He stepped closer to me. His face was inches from mine. "Why were you kissing that Richards kid?" He basically spat the words into my face.

"He was hot and you were fucking some blonde." I bit my lip, challenging his condescending energy.

"Nah. You're mine." His casual energy was pissing me the fuck off.

"So you don't even deny fucking that girl in your room?" I asked.

"Why, do you like me or something." He teased, moving one hand to tuck a piece of hair behind my ear.

"You know the answer to that."

"Tell me. Please." Maybe the anger in his eyes was more hurt.

"I- I don't hate you. Maybe I did. I've tried that game but I don't want to keep pushing you away. I like you. And I hate seeing you with someone that's not me." My eyes and face, felt red from embarrassment. But I put on a brave face.

His face paled. His eyes were unreadable. He stepped back. "I can't do this Ella." I frowned, understanding now that his stubbornness was going to stop this from ever being the way it used to be.

"Oh... um ok. Sorry to ruin your night. You invited me. Not the other way around. I wanted to fix this by coming here tonight, but instead I see you with another girl, I get a rejection from a guy I'm supposed to hate, and the worst part is... we were never together so I just look crazy." I just turned and walked away, ignoring his weak attempts at stopping me.

I picked up my phone texting the person who would understand.

ellamayo🐸

I closed my phone and started the ride down to the skatepark, I had a longboard stashed at this house that I learned how to ride from Vinnie.

It's funny how tables turn.
