The Connection

Chapter Five

We decide to go to the venue in my car (that's the perk of being left at home) and so I head to Natalie's house where she's waiting for me with Em. I am still kinda nervous. It's not proper etiqutte to show up uninvited...but who cares.

I check my make up (a little eyeliner and chapstick for that matter) for one last time , tell Adam to order something when he's hungry, which he seems to be most of the time, and leave.

I love driving at night. The view is absolutely stunning and there's no honks and stupid people fighting for stupid reasons. After a drive of almost 10 minutes, I see Em and Natalie waiting for me in front of her house. 

Oh God, they've like dipped their faces into makeup, what the hell.

"Hey Beth! Ready for tonight!" Natalie practically shouts at me.

"Ooh yeah, it's gonna be amaaaazing" 

Dosen't seem like it.

Emma has been there before, which helps us reach Louis' house.

I can hear the loud banging already and it's going to kill me if I stay for more than two hours. It's realtively hotter inside, and it's probably because of so many people dancing and shouting above their voices. Man, this is one hell of a party.

I try to keep up with Natalie and Em as they seem to be knowing almost all of the people here, but after like half an hour, I'm sitting on a couch in the middle of the hall, searching for them in  every possible place in this house. How do people vanish in parties like this?

I was able to get a glimpse of Eleanor though, and she's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my whole fucking life. She's wearing a knee length black dress with a light necklace.

I am very tired and my head is bursting with pain due to this loud music. I search for the kitchen, which is not that crowded, and have a glass of cold water that soothes my food pipe and my stomach. I'm hungry and I see nothing to eat at sight. What kind of a party is this?

I see a few known faces like Aron and Jenna,  my neighbour. But apart from that, I'm in a jungle with crazy animals.

That is when I spot Harry, that guy I met in school a few days ago. He seems pretty close to Louis and a few other guys standing ten feet away from me. I push the thought of talking to him aside, because I might get caught then. So I decide to find a clean and silent place to sit and wait for the mistresses to come back so that we can leave.

I find a chair near the kitchen counter and sit there. After a lot of search, I finally get a few bread slices and have them with a little butter. I tried calling Emma but she's not picking up her phone. Have they left already? I call Niall and ask him to meet me in the kitchen, I need to have some company to survive and he reaches there in five minutes. He said he talked to Louis and he seems like a nice guy. 

I'm missing home.

Niall leaves saying he has some friends to attend to. So I start searching for the bitches again. I'm annoyed as hell now, why the fuck did I even come here?

I feel a tap on my shoulder and relief flushes through me.

I turn around to see Harry. Shit, why is he here?

"Hey, I didn't know you were coming too."

"I didn't know myself."
Someone kill me please.

"How do you know Lou?"

"Ummm.. I don't. My friends do."

"I see. It must be pretty boring for you then"

"You don't even know."

Why is he not leaving? What do I do now?

"I should go search my friends. We need to head back home."

"So early? Which friends?"

Why is he interrogating me?

"Natalie and Emma."

"Oh, they're on the other side of the room, they're playing a game I guess"

With my life.

"Okay, thanks" I walk away as fast as I can, towards the other direction.

After squeezing through tons of sweaty people, I finally see Nat and Em sitting on the floor, in a cirlce, with almost eight other people. Fuck.

They're drunk as hell, Emma can't even sit straight, and she smiles like a moron when she sees me.

"Look who's here people!"

Oh no no no no no.

All eyes turn towards me, and I can clearly see the 'sorry' expression on Natalie's face. Am I still alive?

"Lets go Emma, we're late."

"Go where?" A handsome boy with brown eyes and dark hair says.

"I'm Zayn, come join us, you'll love it."

I'm loving it already.

"No thanks, I need to go home. Lets go Natalie, Emma."

As Natalie tries to get up, another guy pulls her down. What's wrong with these people?
"Don't go babe, please"
Whaaat?
"Excuse me, this 'babe' of yours is my friend, and she's drunk beyond limit and needs to go home"

Before I can contemplate what is going on, I am pulled down by someone.
"One round of truth and dare never hurt nobody... Please"
Niall.
These are the friends he had to attend.
"Get up, Emma"
"No"
"Please"
"No"
"Fine, I'm done with you guys and this party of yours, find someone else to drop you off." I say while getting up.
"Please, Beth, just one round, then we'll go" Natalie tries to persuade me.
As I'm thinking about it, Harry joins them too.
Maybe I should give it a go.
"Fine, just one"
"Yay!"  Emma claps her hands like a five year old. She needs to be slapped. Hard.
