Losing Hope

Chapter 3

We pulled up to this guys house (well really mansion) And walked inside to blaring music and extremely drunk people. I stood there for a second, just taking it all in. The truth is I'd never actually been to a party before. Ya, I know, pathetic right?

When I turned back around to look for Nick I found him on the other side of the room with a drink in his hand, dancing with Taylor.

I wondered around for a while, before a stroud arm slipped around my waist, and an unfortunately familiar voice coed,"hey babe"

"Sagan" I spun around

"Miss me?" He brought his face closer to mine and I could smell the alcohol on his breath.

"I can't really say I did" I tried to pull away from him, but he held me tighter.

"Dance with me Rochelle" he whispered pulling me tight against him

"I'd really rather not, you faceless pig" I struggled again to get away but he just laughed and pulled me closer, brushing his lips against my neck.

"Oh but I think you do" I could hear the smirk in his voice I continued to try to push him away.

"You regret breaking up with me and soon you'll be crawling back on your knees begging for my forgiveness" he sneered, his voice slurred with alcohol.

"Forgiveness for what? Finding out you were cheating on me with some slut?" I kicked him in the shin and he let go for a second, but grabbed me again before I could get away

"You're going to be mine again" I could see the anger in his eyes and it scared me.

Just then I felt someone push Sagan away form me and onto the floor.

"Ayden" Sagan sneered, picking himself back up and swinging a fist at the guy who was now I between me and him. The guy, Ayden I guess, caught it easily and shoved him back to the floor.

"Is that the best you can do?"Sagan, enraged, got back to his feet before throwing two more punches, both easily blocked by Adyen. Then Ayden punched him in the Titans shoved him to the ground, when Sagan made no attempt to get back up.

"Pathetic" Ayden said, before grabbing my hand and pulling me back into the crowd.

We looked at each other for a second, and then I kind of fought and said "thanks"

"It's nothing" he relied " Sagen's a jerk and you didn't look very happy in his arms.

I smiled, "you could say that again"

We stood there for a second, neither of us knowing what to say. He was actually kind of hot, with dark hair, and green . He rubbed his neck awkwardly.

"So you wanna dance?" I asked. After all this was my night and I wasn't going to let my jerk of an ex change that.

He smile "sure why not?"

He placed his hands on my hips and I wrapped mine around his neck as we started to move with the music.the crowd was so thick that before long our bodies were tight up against each other as I grinder my hips against his.mi looked up into his eyes, realizing how beautiful they were, a pattern of green and blue and golden specks. He arms and shoulders were perfectly sculpted and he had that jawline you only see on hot famous guys.

Without even realizing what I was doing,more why I was doing it, I brought my lips to his. I felt his gasp in surprise as I pulled back, but his hand flew to my neck, pressing his lips against mine again. I ran my hands through his soft hair and felt him doing the same to mine. I softly np it his lip and pulled back a little, taking a breath before kissing him again.

Suddenly he pulled back.

"What's wrong?" I ask, panting

"I don't even know your name" he answered, looking ashamed of himself.

I opened my mouth to reply, when-

"Rochelle!" Hope cried, running over up to me " what are you doing here?"

For some reason it annoyed me that she hadn't told me that she was going to the party tonight. I mean I didn't, but I had good reasons,...right?

"Umm, it's a party and the guy's a friend of my brother's so..."

"You didn't even tell me" she said looking confused and hurt. Then I looked and saw who had his arm around her waist. Sagen

"what are you doing with him?" I screamed. He smirked

"Y'all aren't even dating or anything so why can't I be with him?" She yelled back, and I notice the bottle in her hands. She was drunk. " and you didn't even tell me you were going to be here."

" so just because you don't think I'm around doesn't mean it okay for you to hit on my ex! You were even more pissed off than me when we found out he was cheating on me." How could she? We were best friend.

"Whatever!" She yelled. "I'm leaving anyway!" She stomped away.

"Ahg!" I cried, raking my fingers through my hair.

I needed some fresh air so I walk outside. She was my best friend and she knows it hurt me when we broke up. She would never do something like this to me. No she was drunk, she didn't mean it. Yeah I knew she would never do anything like that in her right mind. We were best friends. Sister. She was just drunk, that's all.

"You okay?" Nick said, coming up to me.

"Ya I'm fine. Just need some fresh air" I reply, standing up. "where's Taylor?"

His face clouded maybe that wasn't the right question to ask "I don't know, probably eating some random dudes face out right now, but why should I care?" He said, flatly.

"Um so she's not your girlfriend anymore?"

"No" he relied "let's go home okay?"

I didn't need to be told twice. I nodded and we headed for the car.

When we got home it was only. Little past ten, so we decide to watch a movie together. ( you know, brother, sister bonding time) we ended up watching all of the hunger games, and by the time we were done it was like five in the morning.

"well I can't exactly say goodnight" I yawned, walking into my room and falling on my bed. I heard him laughing from his room as I drifted off to sleep.

A/n- Ayden is so hot! :)
