IS IT LOVE? CTH

The night it all happened.

We walked out to Scott's car. Still the first car he had when he first learned to drive, nostalgia washed over me at the happy memories of our teenage times in the same car. When we reached the car he opened the door for me like he always did, it was just like a tradition. I smiled and climbed in buckling my seatbelt as he slammed the door and walked round to the drivers side.

"Ready to roll baby?" Scott said chuckling in his distinctive laugh climbing into the car, slamming his door and turning towards me with a slight grin.

"Shut up and stop being so cheesy" I said nudging him, giggling back at his contagious laugh.

He started the car and drove out of the car park. It was now pitch black outside, I looked out the window trying to figure out which route we were taking to meet the boys. Scott made normal chit-chat with me but I couldn't concentrate on our usual 'banter' tonight. "We're nearly here!" Scott said turning into a block of deluxe looking apartments. He neatly put the car in the car park and switched off the engine.

"Jesus Scott, is this where they live?" I said in awe, staring up at the towering, modern buildings.

"Come on it's block 3" he said climbing out the car, I followed him doing the same.

"Come on!" he said grabbing me by the arm and pulling me to another posh building.

We walked up the stairs until we reached door number '27.' Scott simply stood there a gave the door a loud knock. We could hear a faint hum of music and men's voice through the wood. Then someone answered. He was tall, he had dark hair with a blonde streak through it. He was wearing black skinny jeans and a Green Day t-shirt, paired with black vans. As soon as he saw Scott his face lit up. Wow this man is really good looking.

"Scott!" he said smiling, arms open ready to embrace his friend. He even had a gorgeous smile.

"Calum!" Scott returned, hugging him. Calum...

After they finished with their greetings Scott turned to me. "This is Mia, you know the girl 'av been talking about!"

"Alright Mia?" Calum said casually holding his hand out, I shook it firmly trying to keep myself composed. Scott never told me how good looking he was!

"Anyways come on in!" Calum said, stepping inside to reveal their flat. We walked into the main living room where there was two black leather sofas, a large coffee table, a huge flat screen tv hung gracefully on the wall and a range or ornaments around the room.
It was so modern and expensive looking, one wall was made completely out of glass so you could see the whole of Sheffield by standing here. 3 men were reclined on the sofas, rock music was playing out of the sound system from the kitchen so it wasn't too overpowering and all the conversations could be heard. I stepped into the black rug, Scott followed me. The three men jumped up to greet Scott, I awkwardly stood there feeling left out. Then I felt two strong hands on my shoulders.

"What can I get you to drink?" a voice whispered into my ear. I froze to see Calum behind me.

"Uh... vodka and coke please?" I said.

"Sure, can I take your jacket?" He persisted, I nodded and slipped it off feeling conscious about my outfit. I discreetly flicked my hair so it fell infront of me and handed him my jacket.

"Nice" he grinned taking it from me. "I'll only be a moment" he said turning and walking towards the kitchen. I turned back around to talk to Scott but noticed he had left my side and sat with the others.

"Ashton Irwin" the man who wasn't involved in the conversation stood up to introduce himself, looking amused. He was so tall and wore clothes similar to the others. Wearing black skinny jeans and a band t-shirt. I felt way more comfortable with Ashton than Calum I wasn't quite sure why, I just liked his friendly expression.

"Mia" I said flashing him a smile.

Calum then brought through the drinks and placed them on the coffee table.

"Mia, this is Luke and Michael" I turned around, tossing my hair over my shoulders.

"Hey I'm Mia" I said holding my hand out to a man wearing black skinny jeans and a Blink 182 t-shirt, his hair styled in a quiff.

"Hi Mia, I'm Luke" he replied with a shy smile. Then I turned to the man next to him.

"So you must be Michael?" I laughed.

"Oh how did you guess?" he responded chuckling while holding his hand out for me to shake. "Michael Clifford."

He had white and blue hair and what a surprise he was also dressed in black skinny jeans with a band t-shirt.

"Well then" Scott said. "Since we all know each other should we get this party started?"

We all cheered back holding our glasses up towards the ceiling.

-a few hours and drinks later...-
"Shots!" Calum called lining glasses up on the coffee table.

"Cheers!" Calum shouted clinking glasses with me and winking seductively catching me of guard before tipping his head back and swallowing the deadly substance from the glass.

I stood there shell shocked for a split second then quickly poured back the poisonous liquid, I coughed as it ran down my throat burning it like wildfire.

I grunted at the taste and slammed the cup back down. Then Calum flopped down on the sofa next to me, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

"I think it's safe to say we are absolutely smashed" he stated, I nodded in agreement looking around the room finding Michael messing around with the sound system trying to change the song. I stood up from the sofa and wobbled dangerously, I spun my head around so quickly I felt dizzy, my vision blurry. How much have I had to drink?

"Mia babeeeeyyyy" called Scott as the song changed to a moody trance song. I looked towards Scott and he was standing with his arms out signaling for me to go dance with him.

"No way!" I shouted over the music. He wouldn't take no for an answer. He pulled me over so I gave in. I put my arms around his neck and he had his around my waist. We swayed side to side drunkenly laughing at each other.

"I LOVE YOU MIA" he shouted.

"I LOVE YOU TOO" I shouted back.

I turned my head away to look at Calum and Luke who were staring intently at me and Scott. As soon as they saw me, Luke stood up to walk towards Michael and Ashton at the sound system. Calum on the other hand kept on staring, he slowly looked me up and down, raising an eyebrow and biting his lower lip.

"Mia stay away from Calum he's not worth it, he's a ladies man and will only want you for one thing. I've seen him hurt girls feelings before" Scott's voice faded away. I realized he had walked away leaving me stranded.

"Can you dance?" I said smiling and nodding towards Calum.

"Oh you just watch" he replied grinning taking me by surprise by standing and pulling me over to the middle of the room. We started to dance together but it was different to the way me and Scott were dancing. It was more personal, considering I couldn't see straight anymore it felt pretty good. My confidence levels rises as the music got louder and the drinks kept coming. I tossed my hair around and moved closer to Calum grinning wider than I had before. I looked up at Calum to see his smug expression on his face and his hands gently touching my hips...
