Chapter 7

~Maaaaaaaaaaaybeeee~

Atlanta

"CHANDLER!?"

Chandler pulled away and looked around, a bored look on his face.

Was I really that bad at kissing? I mean, I know I'm not the best kisser but I have had experience and they haven't complained.

"What?" He said in a bored tone.

"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU KISSING HER?" She screamed, exaggerating 'her' to make it clear her feeling towards me.

"It was a dare Evie, nothing more. Jesus, you need to calm it." He rolled his eyes.

Nothing more. Really? It felt like more then that. The way he kissed me, it felt like he meant it, like he wanted something more to happen. But then what do I know. I never used to have a lot human interaction, let alone a relationship with someone. Maybe he always kiss's people like that, just to be an ass.

"I'm gonna go get another drink." I told a drunk Katherine. She nodded drunkenly and went back to talking to Laura.

I stood up and made my way over to the drinks table. After about 10 minuets of trying to squeeze past people, I finally made it to the table. I picked up a bottle of what looked like cider.

Popping it open, I turned around and looked around the room. Everyone seemed so blissful. Not worried about school or homework or anything. They were just here to be with friends and have a good time.

My heart sank slightly.

Even though I was used to being alone and did prefer it to being around people, I did sometimes daydream about stuff like this. Lot's of friends. Party's every weekend. Messing around in class. Boys. I don't really know. I just guess I sometimes want a bit of a change. A bit of a childhood.

Just then, someone tapped me on the back. I turned around and saw Nathan sanding there.

"I sorry, I just wanted a drink." He said quietly. So quite I almost didn't hear him. I then realized I was standing right in front of the drinks.

"Oh, my bad. Sorry." I apologized and moved out the way.

He grabbed a bottle and lowered his head, staring to walk away. Before he did, I stopped him. He turned around, surprised at my actions.

"I'm sorry to ask but do I scare you?" I asked. I'm not normally as forward as this but I just wanted to know.

"O-Oh umm no, I mean yes, I um. Kinda." He said, smiling a little.

"Well don't. Please. I may seem like a bitch but I promise I'm not like it all the time." I smiled. Why am I being so nice? Oh god, what is this place doing to me. Oh well, I'll go with it. "Do you wanna go outside?" I asked, pointing outside.

"Umm sure." He answered, following me outside.

Chandler

Where did Atlanta go? I wanted to talk about the kiss. I wanted to know if she felt a spark too. If she felt something special. No one was really playing dare or Dare anymore so I stood up and went to look for her.

I looked around for 10 minuets and I found no sign of her. I looked all over the house but still nothing. Maybe outside? I walked outside and spotted her but...

She was talking to someone else. Nathan I think.

Just then he said something, making her laugh hysterically. She had a cute laugh. The kind that just made you smile.

Jesus, what am I thinking.

Giving up, I walked back inside and went to look for Evie.

Atlanta

"I should probably get going, It's getting late." I told Nathan. I saw his expression sink.

"Do you want me to walk you home?" He said, looking hopeful.

"I'm alright, i can take care of myself." I giggle, lightly punching his arm. I started walked away and felt kinda bad. He seems nice but just a little too sweet.

I started looking around for Kat to tell her I was going. I came across a group of people sitting on sofas around a table. Some making out, some talking and others just drinking. I recognized Kat and walked over to her. But then I realized the people making out. Of course. It was Chandler and Evie. I mean, I'm not jealous, I expected more from him.

I ignored it and told Kat that I was going.

"Oh do you want a lift home?" She asked standing up, but immediately falling over.

"No, I don't need a lift. I also don't think you should be giving anyone a lift. Just walk home okay, you can get your car tomorrow." I ordered her.

She nodded sleepily and I turned and walked out.

-----

Okay, I've been walking around for a good 30 minuets and It defiantly doesn't take that long. Am I lost? Oh god no. Have I really had that much to drink I don't know where I going? I pulled out my phone and look through my contacts. I can't call my mum otherwise she will flip out. I can't call any of my friend because they will either be shit-faced drunk or at home passed out. Nathan told me he lives on the other side of town so that wont work.

That only leaves one person...

Chandler

He had given me his number earlier on in the week telling me to only call in an emergency. Well it is an emergency.

I dialed his number and after 2 rings he answered.

"Hello?" He said groggily, a deep tone to his voice.

"Hi Chandler, okay look, I'm lost and I don't know how to get home. Do you think you could come get me?" I asked, slurring my word a bit.

"Umm, where are you are you?" He said, clearly sleepy. I must have woken him up. Oops.

I looked down the street to the sign. "Kingswood Road." I told him.

"Dude that's literally 2 streets away." He complained.

"Can you still come get me. I might go the wrong way and I'll be out here for another hour!" I begged drunkenly.

"Fine, but I better get something out of this! Wait, are you drunk?"

"Maaaaaaaaaaaybeeee." I giggled, dragging out the 'a'.

"Whatever, stay put and I'll come get you." He grumbled, hanging up.

Smiling to myself, I put the phone back in my purse and waited. 10 minuets later, I saw a figure walking towards me from the other side of the street. Sure enough it was Chandler but he was...

"Shirt-less? Really?" I asked, raising my eyebrows, staring at his impressive 6-pack. I mean, I had seen it on Instagram, but it didn't look as good on a screen as it did in person. His voice was still deep as he was still tired and his hair was really messy as if he had JUST got out of bed.

"What,you rushed me and all I wear to bed is joggers?" He said. "any way lets get you home." He said leading me in the direction back to mine.

As he turned away, I gave a small smile so he wouldn't see, before following him back home.

Hello again.

I know all these chapters are quite short and I promise I will try to make them longer.

I'm also uploading it a day early because I'm not going to have any access to internet tomorrow as I'm travailing all day.

See you next week,

Bye,
