Beau, Daniel and I pulled up at the house the party was at.
"Oh Lola, this is Daniel by the way."
Daniel and I both smiled at each other. Beau put his hand on my lower back and guided me into the party. The feel of his hand sent shivers down my spine. Why? I do not know.
"I'll go get us all some drinks" said Beau.
"Okay..."
I noticed Daniel stood smirking at his phone. I playfully shoved him.
"What's so funny?"
"Just Luke"
"What did he say?"
"Asking why he didn't get invited to the party"
"I thought he was? Beau rang me to ask me he said that Luke was going"
Daniel laughed, "Maybe he said that just to get you to come ey?"
"What?" I asked intriguingly.
"Here's your drinks guys, what you talking about?" Beau interupted.
"Nothing" I said.
After a few more drinks the party seemed to be getting better. People seemed to love me just because I was British, definite bonus!
I noticed Daniel stood on his own, so I went over to ask him again about what he meant earlier.
"Hey Daniel, what did you mean before about Beau saying Luke was going just to get me to come?"
"Oh nothing Lola, it's just stupid."
"Tell me" I demanded.
"Well, Beau seems to think you have a little thing for Luke, that's all."
"Seriously? I don't have a thing for anyone"
I was confused by what Daniel told me. Why would Beau even care if i did have a thing for Luke? I started walking around the house to try and find Beau but then some random guy grabbed my hand.
"British girl, heeeeeey" he drunkenly said. "Come with me, you don't look like you're having much fun, I'll show you a good time."
"Erm, I'm okay thanks" I nervously said.
He grabbed my hand tighter and forced me up the stairs. I don't want to make a scene. I need friends right now so I'll just quietly tell him no. He dragged me into a room and turned the lights on. My heart sunk. I saw Beau and another girl kissing on the bed.
"LOLA" Beau said surprised.
"Sorry Beau, we'll go to the next room" said this random guy dragging me into another room.
Beau's eyes were fixed onto mine as I was leaving the room. I don't understand why I feel like this. What's wrong with me. My heart feels like it's in my stomach.
"I have to go" I said to the random guy.
I struggled to get away from him and ended up falling to the floor. As I looked up, Beau was looking down on me. I quickly stood up and ran down to the front door. I began walking home... not that I knew where I was going. I could hear footsteps coming up behind me.
"Lola... Lola wait!" panted Beau.
I stopped walking and waited for him to catch up.
"What's wrong?" he said.
I didn't really have an answer for him because I didn't even know myself. How could I tell him that it hurt seeing him with another girl when I've known him for a day? It's even stupid to think about.
"Nothing... I'm just tired" I lied.
"Let me walk you home then"
"I'm fine Beau, I know the way" I lied again.
"I'm sorry if what you saw upset you..."
"It didn't. Why would it?"
"erm... I guess it wouldn't"
"Bye Beau."
I carried on walking down the street without Beau, not even knowing if i was going the right way or not. I immediately rang Luke to help me find my way home.
"Luke?"
"What's wrong Lola?" he said, sounding like he just woke up.
"I'm lost"
"Where's Beau?"
"At the party... I decided to leave early"
"It's not to far from home, wait there and I'll come to meet you."
After waiting for 15 minutes Luke turned up. I was so relieved to see him.
"Come on then Lola" he shouted "back home we go."
On the walk back home I told Luke everything. Even about how I felt when I saw Beau. I really trusted him, even though I knew he would tell Beau but a part of me kind of wanted him too.
I creeped into my house, trying not to wake up my parents and tip toed up the stairs to my room. I just want to sit and cry about everything. I feel so pathetic.
At 3:35AM my phone started beeping and woke me up. It was a message from Beau - "Lola, Luke told me everything. I just wanted to say sorry. Come round tomorrow so we can talk. X"
The next morning I woke up at 7:00AM, eager to hear what Beau had to say. I replied to his text message asking what time to come over and he quickly replied.
"You're awake too huh, come over now. X"
I threw on some sweatpants, an old hoddie and tied my hair up in a bun. I ran over the road and before I could knock on the door, Beau opened it. He was stood there with just his sweatpants on. Now my heart was beating fast.
"Well... You look different from last night" he joked.
"Ha Ha very funny Beau"
I followed Beau into his room so we could talk. He got back into his bed and patted the space next to him, gesturing me to sit there. I sat down, with my legs crossed, at the bottom of his bed facing towards him.
"Well don't you look serious down there."
I ignored his joke.
"What did you want to tell me, Beau?"
"Look..."
He paused for a while, looking around the room until I caught his gaze.
"Just tell me, Beau. It can't be that bad."
"Ok, Well I only kissed the girl to try and make you jealous... I was hoping you'd come look for me and you did. I completely regret it, Lola, I swear I do."
"Why did you want to make me jealous?"
"I... Well I just thought that you liked someone else so.."
"You thought I liked Luke"
"Yeah..." he agreed.
"I can see why you thought that I guess, Luke was the first friend I made here. He's a great guy."
"So you don't..."
"No Beau, I don't like Luke in that way."
Beau looked up and smiled at me. I guess the anger I felt was just jealousy. Maybe I do like Beau.
Beau came down to the bottom of the bed, put his arm around my waist and pulled me in.
"Sorry" he said.
"Forget about it... Friends?"
"Friends." he agreed.
