TW:Abuse, language, and you might get major butterflies

I opened my locker and put my books inside it. I looked at my watch to check the time. When I noticed someone walk up to me. "Hey",a voice said. I turned my head to see a short boy standing next to me.  "Hey", I said looking down at him and smiling. His mouth opened slightly as he just stared at me. He shook his head "anyways I was wondering if you were going to Olivers party tonight", Devon asked me. 

"I-I dont know", I said shyly. "I dont really think Oliver likes me", I continued. "Well he likes me and Im going to maybe you could be my..plus one?", he says smiling. "Really?", I questioned not believeing what I was hearing. Did Devon really want me to come. He nodded as we walked out of the building. A black car pulled up in front of us. "Aw man I have to go. Ill text you later okay?", he says before getting in the car. I wave slightly then walked to get my bike.  

When I made my way to my driveway a wave of relief washed over me to see my dad wasnt home. I unlocked the door and ran up to my room. I threw my book bag on the floor and opened the Netflix app. I was watching  Vampire Diaries when I received a FaceTime notification.  I sat up and answered the call "Hey Dev", I said smiling. Devon waved and smiled back "soo have you changed your mind",he asks. I nod "yep I'll be there", I reply. 

"Great it starts at 6",Devon explained. I watched him as he fixed his shirt and then threw a hoodie on. Butterflies swarmed my stomach and I felt a smile emerge. He smiled back and laughed a little "what is it?", he asks. I shake my head still smiling. I heard a car in the driveway. My heart dropped as I looked out the window "shit", I said under my breath. Devons smile faded and he looked serious "what? what is it?", he asked concerned. I didn't answer. "You ok...Jake?", he asked again. "Y- yeah I have to go. Ill see you later", I said in a rush and hung up the phone call. 

I hated my dad he ruined everything. I started thinking about Devon. His smile, his style, and his perfect hair. The way he made me laugh he was my favorite person. I zoned out for what felt like a few seconds. "Jake!" I heard a loud voice yell. I snapped back into reality. My dad was in my room. "What the hell are you doing",he asked slurring his words. He couldn't even stand up straight. I knew he was drunk. 

"N-nothing. Im just watching tvd uh Netflix", I stuttered. He nodded taking another sip from the bottle. My face rested "Dad could you maybe not drink in my room", I said seriously. "Hey! My roof...my rules",he slurred. "You know you should focus on the real things in life. Like how to get a girl friend. Get into sports you know? Yeah?",he went on trying to keep his balance. "Not art or whatever you're interested in", he finished raising the whiskey up to his mouth again.

I stared at him blankly before grabbing my phone and trying to tune him out. I put my earbuds in  and played the show as I did before I was so rudely interrupted. I couldn't hear him but I knew he was still talking by the his hand motions. Suddenly I only saw black. I felt myself coming to my senses. My face was stinging and I winced before grabbing my phone and checking the time it was 6:50. I also saw 3 missed calls and 4 messages from Devon. 

My heart skipped a beat. I read them

                                                                    Dev 💞

Dev 💞: "Hey party animal you ready?

Dev 💞:Hey you ok? Jake what happened after you hung up?

Dev 💞:If you dont want to come I understand. Oliver gives you too much shit.

Dev 💞:I'll miss you see ya monday Jakey :)

A tear fell down my cheek. Did he really care that much? I shook my head and erased my thoughts then grabbed my jacket and walked down the stairs. I looked over to see my drunken dad snoring on the couch. I scoffed before grabbing a post-it note. "Maybe he'll be happy about this", I mumbled. "Going to a party be back later" I wrote. I ran out of the house and threw myself onto my bike. I petaled as fast as I could to the party. 

I was in such a rush to see Devon I forgot to push down the kickstand. I started walking up to the house "Jake",I heard someone say as they grabbed my wrist. I turned around to see a smiling Devon. I smiled brightly "you made it...sorry about all the messages I just want-", he said before I cut him off "Its okay. Im glad you did I fell asleep", I explained.

He smiled and let go of my wrist "Whoa your eye..it looks so real. You know this isn't a halloween party right?",he said laughing. I made a face "what?",I asked confused. His smile dropped "uh your eye?",he repeated with a nervous laugh. I shrugged. "Check It out", he said handing me his phone with the camera open. I gasped slightly as I touched the dark spot around my eye. "Jake?",he says in a worried tone. "Oh pssh yeah I did it...just for fun you know?", I say laughing. I lied.

He seemed relieved "coolio",he smiled. "Well lets go inside",he says grabbing my hand and pulling me along behind him and we headed inside the big house. Butterflies swarmed in my stomach his hands were soft and warm. As we made it inside a loud group of teens rushed past us forcing our hands apart. He stopped and looked behind him then he reached back for my hand. This time he held my hand tight and folded his fingers to interlock with mines. 

Butterflies...
