Alone

Chapter 10

SPENCER'S P.O.V

I opened the doors to a huge party. I glanced behind and saw Jack texting or something so I just went inside. The music bounced off the walls, and made my body move a little. I saw Liam standing in the booths at the top waving down. I clutched my jacket which contained money, phone and keys, close to me while squeezing through the tables.

I reached the stairs and climbed them joining a table consisting of Grace, Liam, Lana and James.

"How were you slower than us?", Lana questioned. I shrugged and sat down.

"Also where's Jack?", I turned my head to see him just reaching the top of the stairs.

"Okay so second half of presents, there's only 3 so don't get too excited", Lana warned.

"James picked this so I can understand if you'd hate it", Lana handed me a box labelled LUSH.

"Wow I can smell it already!", I opened the top and saw 3 bath bombs inserted into some foam pieces, "I love lush"

I placed it down, thanking James, ready to receive a second which Lana had held out. I opened up the present to see a teddy, which looked familiar.

"Is this Raggles?", I asked, Raggles was a bear I gave Lana when she was upset when we were younger, I had missed the bear but never dared asked for it back.

"Yeah, I've even got the letter you sent it me with at home."

I giggled reminiscing in my mind walking to Lana's house with the letter and bear after she had broke up with her first boyfriend.

"Hey here's my present, the last one", Liam handed me a small box.

Carefully I pulled off the lid and inside lay a sephora bracelet, I pulled it out its case and slowly slipped it onto my wrist. Liam did up the clasp as I stared at it.

"Thank you", I gave Liam a sweet smile before putting the box with the rest of the presents.

"I'll go put these in the car", Jack stood up and reached down beside me to gather the keys, "your welcome birthday princess'

6 HOURS LATER

We had a small meal, and me, Lana and Grace talked about the attractive men we could see. The alcohol was now being served and they opened up the dance floor and DJ booth.

"Hey let's do some shots, I've not had them in awhile", Grace offered.

Grace tapped her hand on the bar to which a bartender greeted her.

"4 shots please", She requested, I wondered who the fourth one was for but soon noticed Jack had sat on the other end of our row.

The bartender poured out the 4 shots and laid them on a tray for us all to reach.

We each grabbed a glass and swallowed it racing to be the first to place it on the table.

"Men will always win at this", Jack laughed as he placed down his drink first again on the third round.

"Right well I'm going to have a glass of vodka and tonic", I smiled at the bartender who seemed to enjoy our company.

"And I shall be on the dance floor with James", Lana jumped off her stool.

"Yeah I'm going find Liam, he's really cute", Grace followed.

Jack moved up two seats closing the gap between us.

"You know I could sack you for all this drinking, the bar will be dry by the time we leave", He spoke.

"Ha ha. If your going to annoy someone I'd suggest it wasn't me", the alcohol burned my throat, I felt more teasing then before.
