You can Run but You can't Hide

Chapter 5: Halloween Party

Louis came to my house, knocking on the front door dressed up as Chucky. I opened the door and smiled. "Hey." Lexi was sitting on the couch, she was dressed like a black cat. She had cat ears, a tail, and a mask. "Hey, I love your costume." He said smiling down at me. I smiled "Thanks, I like yours too." I was dressed as a cop. I had black shorts with fishnets, a belt, handcuffs hanging out her shorts, a hat, and a dark navy blue crop top that says "Police". "Let's go, Lexi you ready?" I asked. "Yeah. Im gonna get all the hoes tonight." Lexi said. I laughed. "Okay, Lexi," I said as I got in the car. I started the car and drove to Peter's Party. I arrived at Peter's Party and enter the house. The music could be heard from across the street. "Woah. This party is way bigger than I thought it would be." Louis said. "Yeah, that's what makes it fun," I said smiling as I walked into the party. "I hope so," he said. I grabbed some punch which had alcohol and I drank it. It was delicious, it had a peachy taste. I headed over to Lexi and I gave her some of the drink and she took some more and more. Lexi was low-key drunk. "JJ this party is like...amazing! and there's like...so many hot guys here...like a lot." Lexi said slurring her words and dancing. I laughed a little dancing with her. A cute guy came up to me and Lexi. I think his name is Alex or something. "Hey I saw you from across the room dancing and I was thinking you'd look even better dancing with me." He smiled at me. I smiled and thought about it. "Sure, there's no harm in dancing I guess," I said as I walked off to dance with him. He started dancing with me being flirty and stuff. "How come nobody was already trying to dance with a pretty girl like you?" He said. I smiled. "I think my boyfriend is just shy, it's a big party," I screamed in his ear since the music was blasting. "Boyfriend? well, I don't see him anywhere." He said back to me. I looked around and I pointed over to Louis. "He's the one dressed as Chucky sitting on the couch," I said. Louis saw us dancing and went over to us. "Hey, what's going on over here?" Louis said as he causally put his arm around me. "Just giving the pretty lady some attention cause somebody forgot to," Alex replied. "Nobody forgot to do anything and I doubt she wants attention from you. Why don't u go and harass someone else." Louis said. I stood there awkwardly. This was kinda embarrassing. "Hey man just relax it's all jokes," Alex said. He clearly didn't want to fight with Louis. "I'm not laughing," Louis said. "Sucks for you," Alex said. I tried to diffuse the situation since I kinda started it. "Let's not get into a fight," I said. Alex shrugged. "Jayna come on let's get away from this weirdo," Louis said pulling my hand. "Okay." I mouthed "Sorry." to him and walk away with Louis. "What was that about?" I asked as we were walking away. "He was flirting with you," Louis said. "We were just dancing," I said. "If you say so," Louis said. La Vida es un Carnival by Célia started playing. "I love this song, I used to dance to this song at parties. I love having Cuban parents." My parents were born and raised in Cuba, I was born and raised in the United States. "Let's dance." Peter was also Hispanic, he was born in Puerto Rico. So it makes sense why Peter was playing Spanish music. Lexi and Louis on the other hand were fully American but that didn't stop them from dancing on the floor. Even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can't lie the rhythm and beats were awesome. "Alright let's go," Louis said taking my hand and dancing with me. I danced with Louis, We may have practiced the scenes of Dirty Dancing way too much. We were spinning, going left and right and the song ended. "Imma get a drink, wanna come?" I said. "Sure let's go." He said. They head over to the drinking area and get shots and drinks. "I kinda wanna get drunk," I said. Lexi popped out of nowhere. "Omg, you should, then we can be drunk together." Lexi was so drunk, she was going to hate life tomorrow. I took a couple of shots back to back and I could feel it kick in. "Now I'm stuck being the sober one," Louis said. "It's okay, you'll be fine." I was laughing and giggling like everything was funny. He sighed. Lexi and I were grinding it up on the dance floor. We were twerking and dancing like no one was there. Alcohol really does change people. I am pretty sure someone threw a twenty-dollar bill at me. Louis was standing there shocked. "Come dance with meee." I said as I grabbed louis' hand. "Okay Okay." He said going to dance with her. Daniel was lurking in the group of people staring at Louis and me. Daniel is my ex-boyfriend. We dated for three years and we broke up last year cause he would always try to make me feel bad for going out or doing things with my friends. He was very mentally abusive and had his ways of getting girls to do what he wants. "I just saw my ex-boyfriend," I said in slightly a little worried tone. "What? Where?" He looked around and saw him. "I didn't think he'd be invited," Louis said. Many people didn't like Daniel because he was mentally abusive to his friends and family. I started to panic. I didn't want to be around him. "Can we leave to another part of the house, I can't breathe." I said, practically shaking. "Are you okay? Sure let's go." Louis said as they went to another side of the house. "What's wrong?" He asked. "Remember the person i told you that was super mentally abusive and did all those fuck up things. He did that." I said trying not to cry. My throat was burning. "What? Oh shit I'm so sorry, do you wanna leave? I'll go get Lexi if you want. I don't wanna force you to be near that fucker." He said enraged. "No, it's fine. We can stay. I just don't want to be with him." I said. "Okay. I'll stay with you just incase." From that moment on he was glued to me. I laid my head on Louis and wrapped my arms around him. "I love you Louis," I said softly before I kiss his cheek. "I love you too baby." He kissed my forehead, playing with my hair. After a few more minutes (and a few more drinks) they walked out the party. "Where are we going?" I asked. "Hmm, wanna go to the beach?" He asked back. "Sure," I said. They went over to the beach. "The beach is so beautiful at night, not as beautiful as you though." He said. I smiled. "Stop you are being cheesy." I said teasing him around. "Only for you." He said. I looked up at the starry night admiring it. "The stars are so beautiful," I said. "I know, I love hanging out with you." Louis said. "Me too. I have a crazy idea." I said. "What?" He asked. "Wanna get in the ocean?" I asked. "Okay sure." He said. I took off my costume and converse and ran into the ocean. Wearing a bra and underwear is technically the same as wearing a swim suit. Louis took off his  shirt and shoes and in the ocean with me. We swam around splashing eachother. Later that night, Louis drove Lexi and I home.
