Same Stars

Chapter 35

Dedicated to you.
For reading this cringe fest.

Harry's P.O.V.

"Umm-Hi Kim. Can I ask you a question?" My long fingers lightly tap the case, I hope she cannot tell I'm nervous, even through the phone.

"Yeah what's the problem? Wait wait aren't you supposed to be out here" I hear her suck sharply, "Mr. Styles?"

"-Exactly. What did you say that party was about again?" Gripping the towel around my waist, I began scavenging through my dresser.

"Oh it's a Neon party! Wear something neon to blend in."

"Sure, thanks I will call you back when I am there." Now where do I get a neon shirt, or whatever! We never bought something neon, did we?
The color schemes are all black and dark colors, with a little bit of white. I have a black sweatshirt that says 'Teenage Runaway' another shirt that says 'Hipsta Please' then there is this green shirt I got in a fight with, and tons of things I've never worn before! I don't even recognize some of them, Alice just asked for my size and shoved loads in the basket.

Bingo! I found a neon green shirt underneath the pile. Got no time to spare! I slid down the same skinny pair of jeans and wore the shirt. It fits just right, I should go ahead and thank her for this.

No, I should not. She's changed me enough.

Looking at myself once more, I adjusted my glasses and disarranged my hair, I like them better that way. Now the problem is, how do I sneak out of here?

Luckily, Gemma is at her boyfriend's probably spending time before leaving again. And I can't walk to the venue, it's not at Kimberly's house. I suppose I should borrow my father's car.

With three knocks, I disturbed my parents, one hour before it strucks midnight. "Yes, Harry?" Mother clutches on her robe, squinting at me and she blinked a few times. Crap, my hands are sweating "May I borrow the car, just for the night?"

"What for?" She lazily asks, and yawns in front of me. "Group study." At eleven PM, genius!

"But it's close to midnight, you won't be able to see well." I do not know if I should be happy my alibi worked, or be worried about my mother's priorities. "Oh-oh, we can handle it."

I reassured her once more before leaving the house. As I went down the stairs, everything was pitch black. That is peculiar, since we don't turn the lights off around here, we just lower down the brightness.

Maybe they decided to conserve energy. I suppose it'll be chilly out there, and I have only got this thin piece of clothing on, surely I'll freeze to death. But it felt like today is quite fortuitious and Gem's denim jacket laid on one sofa. It doesn't look that girly, so I grabbed it and went on.

*beep*

-Chase's residence. do u know how to get here?

"Of course I do." As I put the key in the ignition, the car roared along with my emotions. That prick.

Driving down that neighborhood gave me a chance to remember the things he have done, bloody traitor. Y-yeah, I was that gullible freshman nerd, actually thought he wanted to be my friend. Being friends in his dictionary, included commitment I tell you. I did his assignments while he talks on his phone nonstop! And this time I will not be stupid enough to be fooled twice.

When I arrived the place is not as lit as the first party I attended to but the music is just as loud. It quite annoys my ears, and just makes my stomach feel horrid. The stench of the place does not help at all, clearly Chase's habitat describes him.
