The music was blaring from the hockey house and I could see the shining lights through the window.
Fuck it was going to be a long night.
"Bye guys - Luke your DD right?" I nodded
"Kay cool - Eleanor keep your phone on at stay aware, don't take drinks from strangers, make sure you cover your drink - what else... oh!
Pepper spray check?"
Both of the girls held identical green spray bottles and pretended to spray it at each other.
"Luke look after E or both me and Jacob will hunt you down and then blend you into some kind of hangover smoothie" I rolled my eyes but nodded nonetheless. Eleanor would be safe with me.
We watched Lola strut into the party walking straight past the rookies on the door.
I tapped my steering wheel waiting for Eleanor to break the silence but instead she just looked at her shoes.
I didn't want to force her to say anything or go anywhere so we sat in silence for a while.
Eleanor let out and exasperated breath
"I can't go in."
I looked at her raising an eyebrow.
"Don't look at them but it's my arms - the scars"
She said quietly - practically a whisper.
I kept to her wishes not breaking eye contact.
"I know I shouldn't be ashamed and I'm not I guess - it's just I don't want to show everyone at the party or have to explain" she avoided my gaze and was fiddling with her thumbs.
"I understand" I told her sternly
Leaning into the back, Eleanor watched me closely - feeling her gaze on my back.
"Here"I handed her my favourite hoodie that had a zipper so she could still show off her outfit without worrying about her arms.
It would be quite big on her but there were no other options.
Her face lit up and leaned over to me planting a bunch of kisses on my cheeks.
"Thank you thank you thank you" she said looking up at me wiping my fake blood off her lips.
Hot.
I winked at her and nodded towards the hockey house.
"Yes let's go" she practically bounced out of the car with a sudden rush of excitement.
I trailed after her trying not to loose sight of the gorgeous blonde I was instructed to look after.
Fuck my life she would be the death of me.
