The only boy I can't have

Eleanor

"I miss you Jacob" I said down the phone

"I miss you too - try not to drive Luke crazy" his voice crackled.

"I can't make any promises" I smirked, thankful it wasn't a FaceTime.

"So, E it's 7 days till valentine have you met anyone"

"EW WHAT! Jacob don't ask me stuff like that"

I heard his careless laugh ring down the phone "well I was trying to make conversation! Anyways enjoy whatever it is you are doing - bye"

"Bye Jacob"

I went back to my dresser and dragged my lipgloss over my lips. We were having a tiny gathering - just the usual crew - and since all of us were 'single' Lola and I decided to buy some pink decorations and hearts so we can take cute pics - we also got strawberry liquor and all sorts of valentine themed goods.

I loved love so naturally I loved valentines.

Lola flopped on my bed before checking herself out in the mirror. She smoothed down the hot pink dress she got matching with me, baby pink, and Mia purple pink.

"We are going to look hot" Lola told me.

Mia walked in with shot glasses.

Ugh. It's like Lola 2.0

Mia poured some kind of foreign red liquid and held her nose "to getting wasted and forgetting talking stages exist"

Well I didn't want mine to not exist but I cheered nonetheless and drank the strange shot.

Ollie, Kyle, benji and some random guy Reuben I think his name was - benji always bought him along? Were stood in the kitchen making drinks.

We hugged her hellos and Kyle span me round and told me how fab I looked. My vocab was infiltrating theirs clearly.

"Where's cap?" Kyle asked me and I felt my cheeks redden and he winked catching on.

"He said he's on his way" benji told us shoving his phone in his back pocket.

My heart fluttered at the mention of Luke.

1 hour later and there was still no sign of him and it was safe to say I was pretty out of it.

Shot
After
Shot
After
Shot.

Lola pushed me up onto our table and I pulled her up after. We were back to back and slowly shimmied down whilst singing badly.

"Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah, you've got to show me love"

Everyone came around the table and joined in, me and Lola still dancing shamelessly.

Another song came on.

"OMG I LOVE THIS SONG" mia squealed as we pulled her up onto the table.

"Ah uh ah uh what you gonna do with all the junk all that junk inside your trunk" her and Lola sang in unison pointing their red cups at me.

"Ima get get get get you drunk, get your love drunk off my hump!" I ran my hands down my body.

Suddenly bile rose to my throat and I pushed past the boys to the kitchen sink. I looked up at the clock - 1am?! There was no way it was that late...

The proper lights turned on and the music stopped and a chorus of complaints started.

"Party's over" a deep voice said.

Suddenly a pair of very familiar hands started rubbing my back.
