Shy and bullied but you had to add love

Chapter 5

Nick's POV

That night as me and Hazel are driving to the party I can't help but notice how nervous she looks. I take one hand off the steering wheel and gently place it on her bare knee. "It's going to be fine. Just stick with me and if you get into any trouble yell and I'll come." She bites her lip and nods her head, unsure. "Okay." Her voice wavers and I sigh, pulling up to the house.

"We don't have to go you know? If you want we could hang out at your place." I give her a comforting smile but she shakes her head. "No,it's okay I want to do this. Let's go." Smiling at me with that pageant winning smile she opens her car door, before getting out of my car. I watch as she walks around to the front of the car, standing there waiting for me. A grin spreads off my face as I get out of my car, locking it as I walk towards her.

"Time to party." I grab her hand, leading her up to the front door.

A couple of hours later I'm hammered and I have no clue where Hazel is. I'm playing beer pong with a few guys and I suck at it. As I'm downing drinks I notice the teal colour of her dress pass by in a hurry. Ditching the game I follow her upstairs. It looks like she's running from someone. I'm not sure who she's running from but I know it's not good.

When I'm in arms reach of her I grab onto her wrist, spinning her around. There's tears littering her face and she has a huge hickey on her neck.

"What happened to you?!" I yell over the thumping music, running my fingers over the fresh bruise. "I-I ran into Noah." She stuttered quietly and I freeze. "Is he still here?" I ask her, gripping onto her shoulder.

Her eyes go wide as she points behind her, causing me to turn around. I loose my balance and fall into the wall. My eyes narrow as I stare at him.

"Well, well, well look at who we have here." Noah says, smirking at us. I haul myself to my feet. "Leave us alone." I growl and he looks at me curiously. "Where would the fun be in that?" He asks me and I roll my eyes. "Fine then we'll leave." Grabbing Hazel's hand I begin to drag her towards the door. Noah steps in front of me, putting his hand on my chest.

"Not so fast. You can leave if you want to, but not her." He says pointing at Hazel. "I don't think so. Leave us alone before I make you." My voice comes out more like a growl causing him to look at me surprised. "Care to wager?" Noah raises his eyebrow, crossing his arms as he tries to look intimidating. "Name your price." I say my gaze never leaving his. "Whoever drinks more shots without throwing up gets to take her home." Noah smirks and I sigh.

"Okay I'll meet you guys downstairs in 5." He nods at me before sending a wink Hazel's way. I watch as he retreats downstairs before I turn to Hazel.

"What are you thinking?!" Hazel yells and I sigh looking at her. "I know what I'm doing, now I'll be right back." I say before heading into the bathroom.

When I meet Noah downstairs there's already a group of people that have gathered around a table with shots lined up on it.

"Are you sure about this?" Hazel asks and I nod my head. "It's okay, I got this." Giving her a quick peck on the cheek I stumble over to the table before sitting down in one of the chairs.

"Ready to loose?" Noah asks me and I roll my eyes. "Not a chance." I reply with a determined look on my face.

Loosing is not an option.

After I don't know how many shots Noah's starting to look green. I'm still feeling pretty good and I'm starting to get sorta cocky. I've got this in the bag.

When Noah finally runs upstairs, ready to puke his guts out I am named victorious. Looking over at Hazel I smile at her, feeling proud of myself. It's a good thing I can hold my alcohol.

I stumble, nearly falling into Hazel wearing a goofy grin on my face. "I think we should get you home." Hazel says, laughing as she tries to help me stand. Slowly but surely she leads me to my car, dumping me into the passenger seat. "It's okay, I can drive." I slur and she shakes her head, sticking her hand into my jean pocket, digging around until grabbing my keys.

When we get back to her house she leads me inside and dumps me on the couch. "I'll get you some water." She says before walking off towards the kitchen. Not being able to sit still I follow her into the kitchen. Silently I come up behind her, trapping her in between me and the sink.

"Nick get off me." She whines as I gently kiss behind her ear. "I'm tired." I whisper and she laughs. "I'll take you back to the couch." Setting the glass of water on the counter she turns and takes my hand. Planting my feet I stare at her. "But I don't want to sleep on the couch, I want to sleep with you." I bite my lip as I stare at her. Sighing she gives into me. "Fine but we're just sleeping." I nod my head innocently.

"Of course, what else would I do?" I ask her as I follow her to her room.
