Our Winter Love (Harry AU)

Chapter 4: Our First Kiss

You know Bella means beautiful in Italian?

See you later Bella.

Those two lines that Harry said earlier on repeats itself over and over again in my head. I keep going back and forth trying to figure out if Harry was calling me beautiful or if he just decided that Bella was easier than saying Isabella or Izzy.

"Izzy are you nearly done? It's already 10:15!" Megan calls from outside the tent waiting for me to finish getting ready.

"Sorry! I just can't decide what to wear! You're forgetting I don't usually go to these parties." I reply to Megan while digging through my luggage trying to find something nice.

"Just wear that cute sweater I got you last Christmas so we can get going already!"

"Okay okay." I slip on my black sweater before climbing out the tent to see a frustrated Megan sitting on one of the camping chairs.

"Finally!" She gets up from the chair and walks towards me, grabbing my arm to begin our walk to the lake house.

Within minutes we have arrived to a room full of loud, drunk teenagers dancing, talking or sitting all over the place.

"I didn't know there was going to be underage drinking here!" I shout over the loud music into Megan's ear.

"There's drinking at every good party Izzy!" She laughs before walking to a table set out with snacks and drinks.

I look around the room at all these teenagers drinking, "Yeah but I'm pretty sure Donny wouldn't approve of this."

"Just stop worrying and have fun for once Izzy." Megan says before handing me a red cup filled to the top with an unknown liquid.

Megan downs hers before pointing over to a sofa on the opposite side of the room where I see Zayn standing nearby. I can't see who's on the sofa because of all the people dancing, blocking my view. Megan grabs my free hand that isn't occupied by the red cup and drags me through the crowd towards the sofa.

Finally as we make our way past the last barrier of people I stop in my tracks to see Harry sitting on the sofa with Jade sitting on his lap, Zayn is sitting on the opposite end of the sofa with Jody sitting on the floor leaning her back against his legs. Eddy is sitting on the floor in front of the sofa facing the rest of them.

My heart shatters a bit. Even though I didn't think I have feelings for Harry I thought he might have had something for me. I thought I felt some sort of connection with him since we spent most of the day in the tree house together basically holding hands. But now he has another girl sitting on his lap, arms draped around his broad shoulders.

Megan smiles and waves at the group before sitting next to Eddy on the floor, leaning into his shoulder and starting a conversation.

Harry's eyes are on the floor or focused on the rest of the room and doesn't make contact with mine for even a second, and occasionally he takes a sip from his red cup.

"Hay Izzy, do you want to sit here?" Zayn offers as he stands up and gestures towards the sofa. I didn't realize that I had just been standing alone staring at Harry the last few minutes.

"No, no it's fine." I smile before sitting down not too far from Megan on the floor.

The rest of the group talks amongst themselves but I can't seem to focus on what they're saying. All I can think about is that I'm sick of boys being sweet and flirty then finding out that they're like that with every other girl they meet.

I'm definitely over getting into any relationship right now. Which reminds me I haven't seen Josh in a while. Of course he wouldn't be at this type of party, but considering I'm here and he's determined to get me back I thought he might have followed us here.
