Things We Don't Deserve

Chapter 4

"Ok so just remember to be careful." Amber says as we climb out of Niall's car. I was about to ask her why, but she beat me to it. "Just trust me."

"Actually I think it's best if you stay by us or my friends." Niall adds. I nod and look around. The house was huge and people were everywhere. Tons of red cups were scattered across the yard and people were either smoking or puking. I didn't want to find out what was going on inside the house. Niall opened the door and Amber and I followed him in.

It was even more crowded inside. People were playing various games, making out, and grinding on each other. We followed Niall to a group of people sitting on a couch or playing pool.

"Hey guys!" Niall smiled. "This is Amber a-"

"We know. She's your girlfriend. We met her like two weeks ago." A guy with brown hair and blue eyes said.

"I know Louis. As I was say-" Niall is cut off again and I tried to hold in my laugh.

"Who's she?" Louis asks pointing to me. I give a small smile.

"That's what I was going to tell you. This is Vanessa, Amber's best friend." Niall says irritated because he was being cut off.

"Sorry about that mate." Louis mumbled. I just noticed that he had a British accent.

"So are you going to introduce us or what?" A girl with blonde hair and dazzling blue eyes asks.

"Right. Vanessa these are my friends, Louis, Zayn, Liam, and Harry. And these are their girlfriends, Eleanor, Perrie, Sophia, and um..." Niall didn't seem to know the other girls name. I turn my head toward the girl who is sitting next to the curly haired boy, I think he's Harry. I instantly froze when I realized who she was.

"Tiffany." I said just above a whisper. I had no idea what to say. Tiffany smirked and stood up pulling me a few feet from everyone else.

"Well if it isn't Vanessa." She cooed in her screechy bird like voice. "It's been a while."

"Um..." I didn't know how to respond. I thought I'd never have to see her again. "Yeah, 5 years, right?"

"Yeah. So how have you been? Cut lately?" After the words fell out of her mouth, I wanted to run. I just wanted to run back to my room and cry. Tiffany knew exactly what she was doing. And now everyone knows that I used to cut. Or maybe they aren't paying attention to her. I hope no one heard that. I sigh in relief when I see that everyone else was busy with their own conversations.

"What do you want, now?" I can't think of a single thing that she would want from me now. I mean she already ruined my life. I'm broken, unfixable. She doesn't answer, instead she laughs and walks back to the couch.

"Nessa!" I turn and Amber is smiles. "Meet everyone!" She shoves me slightly and I fall over. Is she drunk already? I didn't even know that was possible.

"Are you okay?" I look up and I am nested by a pair of concerned blue eyes and blonde hair falls. Perrie.

"Yeah. I'm good." I look toward Amber and she laughs.

"Sorry." She says while giving me a hug. Ok she's not drunk. When she's drunk she doesn't apologize. "Anyway...everyone say hi!"

"Hey, I'm Liam."

"The name's Malik. Zayn Malik." I giggle at the way he introduced himself.

"The one and only Louis." He gives me a goofy smile and I laugh.

"I'm Eleanor." She gives me a hug and motions to Louis. "And that goofball is my one and only."

"I'm Sophia. Liam's girlfriend." I give her a small smile which she returns.

"The name's Edwards. Perrie Edwards." She says trying to hold in her laughter but fails. "And if you couldn't tell I'm Zayn's girlfriend."

"Hey that's my thing!" Zayn pouts. Perrie teases him and I laugh.

"Well nice meeting you all, and we-" I'm cut off by no other than Louis.

"Wait you didn't meet us all." He nudged Curly in the shoulder and cleared his throat.

"Oh uh..." Curly says hesitantly. "I'm Harry."

"Oh um yeah." I look away from him. That was weird and I feel bad for forgetting about him. Well I couldn't really forget about him. I mean how can you forget about those perfect chocolate curls or those-.

"VANESSA!" Amber shout. Snapping her fingers in front of my face.

"Oh. Uh what's up?" I feel everyone's eyes on me and I begin to feel self conscious.

"Niall was asking if you wanted a drink." Amber said and I felt my face heat up.

"I don't know. I've never had a drink before." Everyone looks at me like I've grown two heads. "What?"

"You've never drank. Like ever?" Perrie asked in disbelief. I shake my head and Louis smirks.

"ATTENTION!" Louis shouts to our small group. "Let's play a game. Who's in?"

"I don't know.." Everyone agreed to play and I was the only one who wasn't sure. "What kind of game?"

"Truth or dare." Louis said with a 'duh' tone. There's no way I'm playing that game.

"No way. I don't think so." I shake my head and frown. The last time I played this game was in 10th grade.

"Oh come on Nessa. It'll be fun!" Amber pleads. When I look at her, I remember what she said about being careful. I'm going to get an answer.

"Ok. Fine, I'll play." Louis claps his hand together and smiles.

"Ok!! So before we start, uh..." Louis counts the number in people in our group. There's Niall, Liam, Louis, Zayn, Harry, Perrie, Eleanor, Sophia, Amber, Tiffany, and me. 11 of us. "We need one more person. Uh Vanessa, do you have anyone that can come over to the party?"

"Um no..." I can't call Nick. He doesn't even know Amber that well. "I don't see w-"

"Yeah you do!" Amber cuts me off. "You can call Nick."

"Who's Nick?" Louis asks smirking.

"Her boyfr-" This time I cut her off.

"He's a friend of mine." Louis tells me to call him and I give in. I call Nick and he agrees to come. Ten minutes later Nick comes and is introduced to everyone.

"Okay. Now we can play." Louis says excitedly as he instructs us to sit in a circle.

"Play what?" Nick asks while sitting next to me and Amber.

"Truth or dare." Louis says.

"Really?" Nick turns to me and chuckles. "You called me just so we can play a game of truth or dare?"

"Yes. I did." I blush and look down. How embarrassing! I called Nick just so he can play a stupid little kid game.

"S'kay. Don't be embarrassed. It's alright babe." Nick reassures me. Amber and Louis smirk and I choose to ignore them.

"Ok before we start, there are a few rules." Louis looks at each of us and sits next to Eleanor and Zayn. "Rule number one, you have to answer every truth. Rule number two, you have to do every dare. And rule number three, no limits and no hard feelings. Got it?" We all nod and Louis begins. "Ok let's start."
