Once Upon A Bonfire

Chapter 2

~Steph~

Things with Matt and I were going really well. There was never really an awkward moment. I really like him, he was sweet, kind, amazing, and him being hot was just a bonus.

"So, whats your fav...." Matt tensed up after looking behind me.

"What's wrong?" I asked turning around. I saw a guy with a bandanna walking toward us. He looked familiar.

"Nothing. I'll be right back." He said sounding annoyed and went to go talk to him.

~Matt~

"Dude, what are you doing?" I asked.

"Well i was waiting for you but you never showed up, so i decided to go look for you. Hey whos that?" He slurred looking behind me curiously, he was obviously drunk.

I knew if he found out about Steph he would take her away or at least try too. And who knows what he would do drunk.

"Nobody."

"She doesn't look like nobody." He said walking over there smirking.

I stopped him. "Look man, i think you should go back to your looking."

"I think i already found what i was looking for." He pushed past me.

"Hey, Im Taylor." He said to her.

"Steph." She said giving a small smile.

"You're hot." He said sitting next to her and putting his arm around her.

"Um thank." She said removing his arm.

"Taylor, i think you should go." I said crossing my arms.

"No way dude. I just got here." He put his hand on her thigh, now he was really pissing me off.

"Hey, you want me to show you around? I know where the bedrooms at." He whispered in his ear. I could smell the alcohal from here.

"No thanks." She replied getting up. "I think im just gonna go find my friend. Bye Matt."

She walked/ran toward the eye of the party.

"What the hell dude?!" I yelled at him.

"What dude? Were you gonna tap that?" He said laughing.

"Shut up." I stormed off hopeing to find Steph. But there were a lot of people here.

~Steph~

I looked for what seemed like ever when i finally found Van on some guys, Im guessing Nashes, lap making out.

"Van." I said. She didnt notice. "Van." I said a little louder. "Van!" I screamed.

They both jumped and Van fell to the ground. I couldn't help but laugh. It was hilarious and Nash looked so confused, it was too funny. She got up and pulled me away from Nash.

"One sec Nash. What the hell Steph? I finally get on Nashes lap and you break us up?" She screamed.

"Sorry, but can we leave?"

"Not now! Im kinda in the middle of something." She said motioning to Nash who gave a small smile and wave in return.

"But Van i really wanna leave."

"Ugh, okay but im not leaving. If your really wanna leave go get Emily or someone. Okay?"

"Okay. Love ya Van." I said.

"Love you too." She said giving me a hug. "Sorry you didn't have fun. Tell me about it later yea?"

"Yea."

I walked away and went to find Emily. But wait. Its the middle of her party. Theres no way she'll leave now. But there was one person i bet would give me a ride. And i saw him walking past. Must be fate. I thought.

"Matt!" I screamed.

He turned around "Steph! There you are! Look I'm so sorry about Taylor. Hes actually really nice when hes you know sober."

"Look, its fine. Hey can you give me a ride home? My friend Savannah is with a guy and doesnt wanna leave."

"Yea, sure." He said smiling. "Oh and would that guy happen to be a Nash Grier?"

"Um yea, how did..."

"He's one of my best friends. He was talking about a girl named Savannah all morning." He said leading thebway to his car.

I laughed. "Well they seem good together." I muttered hopping in his black car. Dont ask what kind, im not good with cars.

"Yea. So where to?" He asked.

"My house its.."

"Well i mean, yea i could drop you off there. But the nights young, we could go anywhere! So i ask again, where to?"
