You had me at hello (ON HOLD)

Chapter 19

The room where the party is being held is covered in pumpkins, skeletons, ghosts, witches and so many other things related to Halloween. It's lit by a purple moving light coming from the dj decks at the back of the room. There's a bar to the left and there's only a few tables and chairs dotted around the outskirts of the room.  

"Goodwork decorating Gaskarth, nice costume" I say to Alex glancing around the room again. He's the only one here besides Tay and I.  

"Thanks, yours isn't too bad either" he says winking.  

"You won the game so why are you wearing a superwoman outfit?" I ask looking him up and down. hes get 6" heels on aswell as the wig and leotard.  

"It seemed like a good idea at the time, but my feet are killing me already, how do girls wear these torture devices?" 

"The smart ones just don't go near them" Tay says grinning  

"I agree with that, so who is all coming here?" i ask Alex 

"You know just a few friends and people who we've toured with and stuff"

Those few friends turned out to be the blackout, you me at six and young guns. I mean seriously, could he not have gave me some warning or something? I'm stuck here looking like a slut in front of three of my favourite bands. theres about 50 or something people here so far, half of them being girls I've never seen before. I sit at a table in the corner drinking fanta because everybody looks like their having a good time and I don't want to annoy them or anything by talking to them. Plus i really dont want anybody to see my costume. I really don't want to get drunk again either and have a repeat of last time so I'm just sticking to fanta.  

Going to get drunk on fanta by myself. 

Partying like a fucking rock star.  

Woo.  

I glance at the dance floor and see everybody dancing. I laugh at everybody stupid costumes. Especially Jordan's, he definitely works the Tarzan look. I look around to see if I can see Zack anywhere but I can't. He's probably having fun with someone else, why would I be stupid enough to think that he might like me. There's so many better people out there.  

Right that's it Alison jane Miller, you are going to stop being so miserable you are going to go on that dancefloor and you are going to dance with Tay, okay?

Then you are going to introduce yourself to everybody and you are going to enjoy tho party. Okay?  

I down the last of my fanta and fix my cat ears. The hairs on the back on my neck stand up and I feel breathing on my neck. I open my eyes wide and turn around slowly. And standing there behind me was scream.  

To say I was scared is an understatement.  

I jumped of my seat, kicking scream as I did so, and screamed at the top of my lungs.  

"Shit" he shouted (well its either a guy or a really manly woman) as I kicked him.  

"Well thats what you fucking get you stupid bastard you scared me shitless! Who even are you Jesus Christ" I yell franticly.  

"I'm so sorry it was, um, a bet. Matt said he would give me £30 if I could scare 10 different girls" he said looking at the ground.

"Matt? Who's Matt? But first who the hell are you?" 

The guy slowly takes off his mask and it turns out that its Max Helyer. oh god, calm alice, stay CALM.

"I'm sorry again, I'm max" he say smiling and he sits down at the table I was sitting at.
