Endless love

Chapter 4 - party time

Phoebe is already ready, now she's helping me do my hair. Her golden, fair hair is half up half down, with a side plait and the rest curled. She looks like a princess ready for her ball, her bright blue eye pop with the natural looking eye shadow but bold eye liner. She's finally done with my hair, as I've previously mentioned my hair is naturally wavy, so we straightened it and then put the stop in a cute but messy bun, and curled strands at the front hanging over my face. "Damn girl, you be looking like a model" phoebe always hypes me up. "And you be looking like a princess" I tell her, she blushes. My make up was already done, I too did a natural look, I believe you don't need make up on to look pretty but I enjoy wearing it so when I do put it on it's always natural.

The party is at her house since she has a massive house and a huge back garden, you could fit two normal houses in there it's that big. She has a pool and a bar in her back garden, her parents have really good well paid jobs that's how she's so rich. I have money but I'm not as rich as her, but to me money means nothing, I don't care if you have loads of money or have none at all I wouldn't treat you any differently.

We have finished getting ready and we can hear a bunch of people already coming in, so we leave phoebes room to go down stairs. My body if full from head to toe with excitement but also nerves. I have butterflies but my heart feels like it's about to pop out. I start walking down the stairs and everyone turns to look, I carry on walking trying to act calm but inside I'm shitting it. My body wants to run back upstairs and hide but I don't I carry on walking, keeping my head held up high. Phoebe is walking behind me to make sure I don't run back upstairs. Everyone is still staring, I hear people whispering my name, "woah, she has changed! She's actually hot" one said. "Who does she think she is, she's still a clown" another said. Oh well, you can't impress them all. But there standing at the bottom of the stairs is Callum, he's looking fine as ever, wearing a white short sleeve muscle fit shirt, with tight fit black trousers. My heart pounded even more, I try not to stare at him but I just can't help it. Trying to push me out the way, Callum snapped "Erm, can you move out my way. I need to go upstairs" I finally snap back into reality and I can feel myself starting to blush. "Oh sorry, I- erm ..." I start stuttering, my mouth loses the ability to speak. "She's about to go to the kitchen with me to grab drinks, do you want one" phoebe stepped in, thank god she saved me from yet another embarrassing moment. "Nah, it's okay. I'll get myself one later" he replied as he starts walking up the stairs, everyone has stopped staring now and has gone back to doing there own thing. "What the hell happened there?" Phoebe asked curiously, "it's as if you have a crush on my brother again" I start to laugh, "no, why would I? After everything that happened before" I feel guilty for lying to her but I can't tell her besides nothings actually gonna happen, I can't talk to him, I'm a mess when I'm around him.

*later that night*  phoebe is drunk, not really a surprise. She always gets drunk at parties. I don't drink much, I'm the one who always takes care of phoebe when she's throwing up because someone has to. The music is blasting, giving me a headache, because they hired a DJ, I go inside and sit in there kitchen, and get a glass of water and some paracetamol. This is like my second home, I've known phoebe my whole life, we met in primary school and been best friends ever since. I was on my own until two girls walked in, "omg look who it is, Emily woods. What a joke! You think you can dress up all nice and everything will be forgotten?" hissed Ashley as her and her mate start laughing at me. "That was literally 5 nearly 6 years ago, why do you have to keep bringing it up!" I shout. A lad comes in, I don't recognise him, must be one of Callum's mates from college, he's about 6'2, so really tall, has slick, stylish brunette hair, and is pretty fit "What's happening here, I heard someone shouting" he asks curiously, "oh yeah! That was the clown over there" sneered Ashley, looking me up and down like I was some dirt of the bottom of her shoe. He looked at Ashley and her mate with a frown, "Well, there must of been a reasoning for it." He stepped in closer to me, "What's your name?" His words were spoken softly. "My.. my name is Emily, Emily woods" I stuttered at first, then took a deep breath. "And what's yours" I spoke my words with a bit more confidence. "It's Jack, Jack hallow" by this time Ashley had stormed off, and her friend followed her, like a little puppy. "What's her problem?" He chuckled. "It's a long story that happened like 5 years ago, let's just say I embarrassed myself and people like her like to keep judging me on it" I sighed. We spoke all night, until the party ended. We exchanged phone numbers and we got each other on snapchat and Instagram. We also planned on meeting again soon, but I think we might just stay friends, but you never know what might happen in the future. I need to tell phoebe all about it when she sobers up tomorrow.

Just when Jack leaves, Callum walks towards me, he looks tired but he's definitely not drunk, he has lipstick all over him. He's clearly been making out with some girl. I feel jealousy build up, but I shake it off because I need to realise me and him will never happen. "What were you two doing?" He started moving closer. "We were just talking. Why do you wanna know?" I took two steps back. He keeps moving closer to me. "Because he's my mate and I wanted to know why you two were talking." He backed me up into a wall. I pushed him away from me "why does it matter who I talk to, you shocked I can actually talk to lads? Yeah I'm not 12 year old me anymore!" I finally snapped, I actually managed to get words out but this time it was in anger. I started to shake with nerves, my head was pounding, if your mind cover ever burst because it was too full of thoughts, I'm pretty sure my head would have by now. He shoved me up against the wall, I could feel his body right up against mine. He leaned in towards me, our lips were ab to touch, but before he could kiss me I swerved it, he kissed my cheek in stead. Some how it made up both blush, he delicately put my hair behind my ear, gently whispered "I like you yano. I saw you today and god you blew my mind" I shoved him out my way. "I gave you a chance, you humiliated me! You can't just do this now" I yelled before running off upstairs to phoebe.
