A Classic Teenage Romance

Chapter 9: Tipsy Hugs and Break ups

As we turned the corner of Stewarts street I could already hear the dull throb of the music, cars were lined up outside his large house and people milled in and out, it was only 7 o' clock and the party was already in full swing. Dani pulled the car to a halt and we all hopped out. Dane threw an arm around Hayley's shoulders and began steering her towards the front door, Christian, Dani and I followed closely behind. As we entered the massive house, I couldn't help but admire the amazing decor, that was now being invaded by dozens of intoxicated teens. Music pulsed loudly through the house, the floor vibrating with every drop of the bass. "Christian, Belle do you guys want a drink?" Dani asked heading over to the kitchen where the alcohol was being produced. Christian and I both nodded, "We are gonna go dance, we'll meet you back here in like ten, for the drinks" I told her with a wink, she nodded before disappearing into the crowded kitchen. Grabbing Christians hand I tugged him over to the dance floor and I began dancing, I could tell he was shy at first as he stood watching me scratching the back of his head, a shy smile on his lips, I began doing the Macarena and he let out a loud laugh and joined in rolling his eyes. "You know this is the wrong song right?" he yelled over the music. I grinned at him "You can do the Macarena to anything Christian come on" he laughed and we continued dancing before heading over to Dani and grabbing our drinks. Dane and Hayley were with her holding drinks of their own and I grinned watching Millie approach Dane from behind. Christian and I thanked Dani for our drinks and I watched as Dane and Millie greeted each other. I was shocked when I saw Millies stony expression, the pretty brunette's dark eyes scanned the room until they landed on me and she gestured angrily in my direction continuing her conversation with Dane. I felt a confused expression settle on my face and looked around for Hayley. Feeling a tug on my arm Christian leant down towards my ear his breath tickling my neck, "Lets go dance some more Belle" I grinned Dane and Millie temporarily forgotten and took Christians hand as he lead me to the dance floor once again.

Half an hour and two more drinks later I told Christian I was going to the bathroom and left him dancing and chatting with Taylor, Kelly, Sebastian, Dani, Tyler, Josh and Hayley. Walking upstairs I was shocked to find Dane sitting alone on one of the top steps. He didn't look up as i sat next to him, putting my head on his shoulder I began twirling his hair around one of my fingers. "So pretty," I mumbled, not quite drunk but not at all sober. "It offends me that you have better hair then me Daniel Spencer" I could practically feel him rolling his eyes at my comment. "What'sss up with you and Millieeee, I saw you guys fighting" I drawled. He muttered grumpily about me being tipsy and stupid and I giggled at him. "Come on Daney boy, tell me what's up and why your sitting all alone on a staircase when you should be gracing us with your dancing downstairs" I pressed, he groaned and buried his head in his hands. Pulling back I looked at him, "Dane seriously, whats wrong?" I asked worriedly. "She broke things off with me Belle" he mumbled into his hands. I felt my mouth drop open. "What! Dane no way! She like loves you, what the heck?! Why?!" I rushed out. Millie broke things off with Dane. I couldn't comprehend it. The two had, had this little romance going on for years. This was out of nowhere. I waited patiently for Dane to reply. He looked up at me his eyes serious as he said "she thinks I have feelings for you, as in more then friend feelings" he watched me carefully for my reaction. I kept my face neutral. "Well, did you tell her that she's being stupid. I mean you guys have had this thing going on for ages Dane, and she knows what we are. Like seriously." I replied not breaking eye contact. He nodded thoughtfully and I suddenly had an idea "hey i'll talk to her, and ill tell her! Don't worry Daney boy, i got this"i said tugging a strand of his hair playfully. Dane studied me quietly before replying "Nah Belle, its over. It was gunna happen sooner or later. I mean neither of us wanted a relationship anyway so..." he trailed off and I nodded understandingly before pulling him into a hug mumbling an "I'm sorry she hurt you" into his shirt. After hugging me back, he ruffled my hair "Okay enough of that, lets go dance girl" he said taking my hand and pulling me back towards the dance floor where our friends were still going strong. Confused emotions filled me. Millie thought Dane liked me more then a friend? Weird .
