Buried Feelings.

22. Scottie

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to..." I look up to see a petite red head standing in front of me with a beer stain now visible on her white top "I'm so sorry"

She giggled and slapped me lightly on the chest like it was no big deal "Oh don't worry about it hottie" My cheeks heated up a little as I smiled back at her.

I ended the date I took Alyssa on early since I kind of made it awkward after I confessed that I loved her. After bowling we were meant to go out for a meal, but the silence in the car was so tense I took her home instead.

Good going Scottie... You've properly just ruined everything.

So instead of going back to Essex like I had planned I hit up a friend and met him at this party. He said I could stay the night so here I am slightly drunk as I try to pass through the crowd.

"You're not so bad yourself" I give her a cheeky wink and place my now empty cup on the table next to me "I'll see you around..."

"Jessica" She informed me moving side to side slightly twirling her red hair in her fingers. Jessica as in being Alyssa's bestfriend... Oh this party just got a little more complicated if I make it that way.

"I'll see you around Jessica" I moved closer to her so there was a tiny gap between us "Come find me later and we'll have a dance" She just nodded as I passed her to go on the search for another drink.

"I saw you eyeing up the red head earlier" Demi says bouncing over to me with a cup in her hand.

"I wasn't really eyeing her Dems... I bumped into her. There's a difference" I inform her leaning against the back door.

"Yeah and what the wink you gave her had no meaning behind it?" She questions raising an eye brow at me.

An she was right... There was a meaning behind the wink I gave Jessica earlier. Yes I know who she is. Alyssa has pictures of them all around her room. Oh don't look at me like that... I tell the girl I love her and she doesn't say it back nor does she even look at me the way she did at that guy who came to pick her up from my house that time.

No matter what I do I'm never going to matter to her the way she matters to me. I'm in love with my ex Bestfriend... How cliché is that.

"Yeah well maybe there was something behind that wink, so what?"

"You ended the date with Alyssa early and you didn't bring Alyssa here for a reason Scottie" I looked at my Bestfriend for a moment knowing she was stating the truth, but that doesn't mean I have to dwell on what happened tonight after bowling. I came here to forget the fact Alyssa rejected me. I came here to forget.

"It doesn't matter why I'm here Demi, but that red head is hot enough to bang tonight right?"

"Right" Cain adds slinging a arm around his girlfriends shoulder only to get a glare from her "What babe she was, but you know you're the only girl for me" He leaned in and kissed the top of Demi's forehead resulting in her smiling up at him.

"Well anyway I'm gonna leave you love birds to it and go get another drink" I down the rest of my beer and threw the cup to the floor.

"The toilet is down the hall and to the left okay" I heard the voice, but didn't recognise who it was. I carried on walking only to see the red head from earlier stumbling down the hall.

As she got closer to me her legs gave way and she nearly fell to the floor before I reached out and caught her "Whoa Red" Her green eyes looked up at me and a smile formed on her lips.
