Alexa and Ben's love story had been a long time in the making - best friends for years, turned lovers when Ben was home from college for a week. Unfortunately, just as things were falling into place, a devastating event shook their relationship and...
I'm so glad Alexa's here with me. It's been really nice showing her around and seeing how she gets along with Jackson.
I know he's just joking and trying to get under my skin but I honestly don't think I should leave her alone with him. He seriously might try and steal her from me.
I've told the guys all about her. They knew how I felt about her before I did honestly. They said it's just the way I talk about her and how I get so happy when I talk about her.
That's when I started thinking about it and finally realized for myself that I do really like her.
Jackson said I might be in love with her and with all the years i've known her, I guess it would make sense, but we only just started dating so I don't want to put any pressure on her or myself, especially since I can tell she hasn't gotten used to being intimate with me.
Anyway, we're getting ready to go to the party now and i'm kind of nervous. College parties are a lot different than high school parties and I already know there will be guys trying to talk to her. I don't plan on leaving her alone at any point so hopefully she has a good time.

Alexa's POV
My first college party. And i'm not even in college yet. This is so weird. I'm so nervous and really have no idea what to expect.
I brought a ton of different outfits to wear and Ben is just sitting there smiling at me while he watches me stress.
Of course he's already ready, it doesn't take long for him to get ready or look good for that matter.
He's wearing jeans that have a few rips in them, with a t-shirt and a flannel on over it with white sneakers. Of course his chain is on too. He looks so effortlessly hot.

He laughs at me, "babe, just wear anything, it's nothing fancy, just a party. You'll look beautiful in anything."
I sigh and nod my head, "okay, okay fine, i'm wearing this."
I already did my hair and makeup so the outfit is the only problem I have. I don't know exactly what kind of party this is, so I decide to play it safe with ripped jeans, a black long sleeve cropped top that crosses in the front and my black converse.

Once I change, I fix my hair and makeup and then grab my phone. I turn around and see Ben already staring at me. I can't help but blush, "what? Is it too much?" I look down at myself.
He shakes his head and looks me up and down, "no no, you look great. Hot actually."
I smile and blush, "oh, thank you. I'm ready when you are!" I'm so not used to getting complimented by him.
He smiles and gets up, "great! Let's go." He grabs my hand and we walk out of his room and out the door into the hallway. I let him lead the way because I have no idea where we're going.
After a while of walking, we walk up to a big house with people all over, coming in and out. I can hear the bass from how loud the music is and I can see all of the flashing lights.
Ben walks up to one of the guys standing by the door and daps him up. They exchange heys and the guy smiles and looks me up and down. Ben squeezes my hand and leads me inside.
I follow closely behind him through crowds of people before we get to where the drinks are. Ben grabs two and hands one to me. I smile at him and open it, taking a sip.
I'm gonna need a few of these to calm my nerves.
I'm really not sure how this is going to go. I don't want to get too drunk like the other night where I don't remember anything, but I also want to have fun and calm my nerves.
After getting drinks, Ben grabs my hand again and leads me to another room where the music is and where there are a bunch of people dancing and even more people standing and talking with each other. There are already people standing in corners and making out... College is weird.
I nervously keep drinking my drink and before I know it, it's half empty already.
After a while of walking through the crowd, we end up finding Jackson and Dustin standing by a wall and talking to each other.
"HEY! THERE THEY ARE!!" Jackson says and grins widely. Him and Dustin smile at me. Jackson slides over to me and puts his arm around my shoulders, "Alexa, may I say, you look very hot tonight." He gives me a big smile and then looks at Ben and winks.
Ben shakes his head, fighting a smile and I blush and giggle, "thank you Jackson" , he winks back, keeping his arm around my shoulders and says, "we're friends now, call me Jax." I laugh and nod.
"Alexa, ever been to a party like this?" Dustin asks. I shake my head in reply, "no, it's very different from all the parties i've been to, there's a lot more people here than I thought."
He laughs and nods, "yeah thats understandable. It's always like this, you've just gotta stick with your people and you'll have fun." I smile and nod my head.
I already can tell that these boys are going to become like my big brothers. Although, I don't think the flirting will ever stop with Jackson, so maybe not like a big brother, but we'll see.
———————————
Ben and I have already been here for about an hour and a half just drinking, and talking with each other, with an occasional pop in from one of the guys or someone random that Ben knows.
I've been introduced to so many people tonight that i've lost count. They all react the same when Ben tells them i'm still in high school. They're shocked, but also intrigued. I've met a couple girls so far, but none of them really give off friend energy, I think most of them were just trying to get Ben or the other guys attention.
I can definitely tell that the beer is starting to kick in because i've started talking more, and every time a girl would come up and try to take Ben's attention away from me.. let's just say I made it VERY clear that he was mine, holding his hand or his arm, leaning on him, kissing his cheek and stuff like that, I even just straight up told them he was my boyfriend at times and throw in a sweet, polite smile.
Ben must've noticed because once we were alone for a bit he looked at me with an amused smirk and said, "is someone jealous?" I look up at him and shake my head, "nope, just making sure they know their place" , I say sassily with a quick shrug of my shoulders, bringing my third drink to my lips.
Ben chuckles and leans down, his lips just centimeters from my ear. "Uh huh, so do you want to dance?" I shiver when I feel his warm breath hit my neck, goosebumps raising over my skin.
I bite my lip and nod my head, the alcohol sinking in. He grabs my hand and leads me to where everyone is dancing.

I'm gonna let them have fun for a little bit and then the drama will start again! Don't worry!!
