the love we're hoping for is dying

Chapter Fifteen - a sidemen party

Ophelias PoV

Jake and I are currently on our way to the sidemen house who have decided to host a party on this faifthful Saturday night. I am in definate need of a night out and I can't wait to get a drink down my neck. Jake seemed more quiet as usual as the last words he spoke to me were 'you look nice' which was 13 minutes ago, which seems a lot longer when you're counting it down, constantly watching for change.

"Phe, we're here" Jake broke me out of my trance, shaking my shoulder slightly to grab my attention.

The party looked to be in full swing, the walls of the house practically bulging from the loudness of the speakers. Random people I hadn't met before were dotted outside, most with cigarettes planted neatly between their jewelled fingers taking quick drags, you could tell they weren't use to smoking, social smokers.

We made our way to the front door which was already slightly ajar from the colossal amount of people constantly entering and exciting through it, I peaked my head through looking for any familiar person at all.

Spotting the back of simons head I grab Jake by the wrist and take my chance to reach him.

"SIMON!" I yelled frantically pushing people out my way, trying to get through the crowded hallway.

Simon looked to be in deep conversation with another lad.

"SIMON!" I shout once again, whilst digging my fingers into his sides. His body froze in surprise and spun around looking irritated until his eyes met mine and he grinned from ear to ear.

"Phe you made it!! You too Jake! How's it going mate?" Simon yells excitedly at the two of us as his mate only stares at the two of us.

"Aren't you gonna introduce us si?" I encourage simon.

"Oh shit yeah, Phe, Jake this is Will, will Phe and Jake! Great now you guys are friends let's get you two something to drink!" Simon rushes out whilst dragging us into the kitchen, leaving Will stood by himself, not getting a chance to reply.

"Here Phe take this" Simon shoved a drink into my hand almost causing it to spill all over the floor with the force that he did it.

"Jeez Simon what you tryna do? Get me drunk?" I ask whilst sniffing the alcoholic drink that swirled gently in the classic red plastic cup.

"You're late you need to catch up" Simon smirked at the two of us.

"If you need a top up everything's here in the kitchen, have a good night" Simon winked at the two of us and left laughing to himself.

"I guess we just help oursleves then" I shrugged at Jake as he casually sipped at his drink, looking curiously around the kitchen, as if hes never been here before.

"Want a shot?" Jake suddenly perked up spotting a bottle of Sambucka. I raised my eyebrows in surprise.

"Alright, why not?" I spoke, gesturing for him to start pouring shots.

"Three each, ready? 3, 2, 1" Jake spoke downing all three, leaving me behind, I quickly downed all three, the alcohol going to the pit of my stomach, causing my head to feel lightheaded.

"You want some more?" Jake asks laughing at me.

"No, we've only been here 10 minutes!" I hit his arm playfully, giggling at him.

"Lightweight" Jake teased me, downing another shot of sambucka, slamming the shot glass down on the table.

"You wanna dance?" I asked Jake excitedly tugging on his arm.

"I'm not really the dancing type Phe" Jake spoke seriously.

"Well, you can watch me dance then" I said smirking at Jake who only shook his head at me.
