one more night (h.s)

Chapter 3

I decided to take a nap before Jess came over. It's 7:00 pm so I decide to take a quick shower and touch up my legs before the party. Jess and the guys are going to be here at 9:00 pm. I lay out my outfit on my bed along with some heels. I blow dry my hair and I decide on doing my hair with some waves. I quickly finish doing that and begin my makeup. I finally get dressed in a simple tight black dress and some pink heels. It's pretty chilly outside so I get my coat and I'm ready to go. I hear my phone ring and grab it. It's a text from Jess and Dylan.

Jess: on our way.
Dylan: outside.(: open up.

I head downstairs and see my mom on the couch watching some housewives show. I open the door and I see Dylan waiting there with a big smile on his face.

"W-wow Jess you look b-beautiful." He blushes.

"Aww thank you dyl and you look pretty good yourself." I smile back. I hear my mom clear her throat from behind me. She's met Dylan before so I don't know why she's making a big deal. I say a quick goodbye to her and Dylan leads me to the car. As we get to the car he opens the door so I can get in. I quietly thank him and begin asking Jess a million questions.

"Who's party are we going to? Why am I being dragged to this?" I practically yell. She laughs and then answers me.

"Relax Bea, it's this kid and he invited all the upperclassmen. Which is why we are going. Bea we need to have fun and go out. Live a little." She laughs. I roll my eyes and stay quiet the ride there. It's about 20 minutes until we get to the house and it's already packed.

I'm a little overwhelmed but Jess grabs my hand and we follow Scott and Dylan inside. The music is pretty loud but I don't really care. It's pretty hot in the house due to all the drunk people dancing and moving around. Good thing I left my coat in the car. I lose Jessica in the crowd somewhere so I head outside to get some fresh air. Why did I agree to come? I hear someone calling my name and I turn around it's Dylan with two red cups in it.

"Hey you." He says as he hands me the red cup. It looks like fruit punch but smells like alcohol. I gladly take the cup and take a sip. It relaxes me and before I know it I'm on my fifth cup dancing with Jess and a whole bunch of other people. I've taken a few Jell-O shots and had few more cups of that punch so I'm pretty drunk. I feel myself getting sick so I rush to find a bathroom. I find one and begin throwing up. Ugh I really shouldn't have drank this much. I hear a knock on the door so I flush the toilet and get up off the floor.

"Just a minute" I slur. I wash my hands and splash some cold water on my face. I hear a pound on the door again. I groan and I open the door.

"Oh my god I said just a min-" I yell just as I look and see Harry.

"Oh sorry Jess I didn't know it was you." He says. He looks at the floor picking at his shirt. After a few moments of awkward silence, I head out and back to the party. Harry goes in the bathroom and I find Dylan at the bottom of the steps waiting for me.

"Are you okay?" He looks worried.

"Yeah I'm fine." I decide to get a cup of water for the meantime and I check my phone. It's barely 1:00 I still have sometime before I have to be home. It's been awhile since I've spotted Harry. Where did he go? Did he leave? I shake my thoughts of him and continue my fun. I see Jessica playing some game with cups on each side of the table and balls being thrown. Hmm wonder what that is? I go to see what it is and Dylan follows closely behind me. He explains what the game is and tells me it's called beer pong but that you don't have to always use beer. The way these kids are playing is with shots of vodka in the cups.

I've never been pretty good at games like this so I just watch as I see Jess taking shot after shot clearly becoming very wasted. I become bored and I start drinking again. I'm pretty drunk and I don't know what comes over me. Before I realize it I grab Dylan's hand and start dancing with him. He grabs my waist and our movements are in sync. He pulls me closer and our dancing starts becoming heated. I don't stop it because the alcohol has taken over my body.

I feel his lips start sucking at my neck and I let out a small moan. My mind finally catches up to what's happening and I stop our movements. I tell him I need some air and I leave him there flustered in the crowd. After what seems like an hour of trying to get out of this house I finally reach the door. I cool breeze hits my skin. I can relax after what just happened moments ago. It was just a drunken mistake right?

"You okay?" The familiar voice startles me. I didn't even realize he was standing there.

"Yes Harry I'm fine. Don't worry about it." I slur. He walks over to me and hands me his cup. I shake my head no.

"It's water. It looks like you need some." I take the cup and he takes a seat next to me. I thank him and hand him the cup.

"Why aren't you drinking?" I ask.

"I haven't drank alcohol in awhile. I don't find the need to." He says. I nod and stay quiet. He's pretty close to me and the air has thickened. I look up at him as he looks at me. Our faces only inches apart from each other.
