RACHEL'S POV
"Ben who the hell are all of these people?" I asked looking around.
"I have no idea, but this shits lit" he explained.
"Yeah.." I said awkwardly to much drunk brother.
"Why don't you go find yourself a man?" Alessia said handing off of Ben's arm.
"You too?" I laughed.
Ale has never really been the party or drinking type, guess Ben changed that.
"I'll be in my room" I yelled over the music.
"Good for you" Ben shook his head.
I giggled to myself and walked off.
As I walked out of the foyer my arm was pulled.
"Shit" I said looking at Alex.
"Why are you dancing?" He said grabbing my hands and moving his feet to the beat of the music.
"I'm going to my room, I'm not the party type." I shrugged him off. He is always like this.
"Is there any way that I can change that?" He asked.
"Not really" I smiled.
"That's too bad" he said pushing a piece of hair behind my ear.
He looked straight in to my eyes.
I got the feeling that he was going to kiss me. His face got close so I turned my head.
His lips landed straight in my cheek.
"Sorry" I giggled.
"Dude, what did I say about any of my friends dating my sister?" Ben came up to us.
"Yeah, I remember" Alex said.
"Bye Rach" he waved and walked off.
I giggled at my brothers 'rules' and continued on up the stairs.
I walked down the hall and noticed the light was on in my room.
"God dammit, get out of my room" I said walking in.
"Oh, sorry Rachel. I was just in the bathroom and I saw some kids making out in here so I told them to leave. Then I saw your pictures so I was-" Anthony said really fast.
"It's okay, I thought you were someone else" I giggled.
He nodded. "What were you looking at?" I asked.
"This picture of you and your parents" he said.
"How come?" I giggled, it was a little weird.
"You guys just look really happy. I don't really remember what it's like to have a family." He said maintaining a smile.
His parents went missing a couple years back, they still haven't found them.
"I'm sorry" I said.
"Did you wanna watch a movie or something?" I added, trying to change the mood.
"I'm not in the party mood so sure" I added turning on my T.V.
and putting on Netflix.
"What do you want to watch?" I asked.
"It's up to you" he said.
I walked over to my nightstand and put down the converter.
I climbed up and say on my bed, meanwhile Anthony was still standing awkwardly.
"You can sit" I giggled patting the seat next to me.
"Oh! There's this movie that my uncle Jackson told me about. The Fault in our Stars, he told me that my parents used to watch it all the time when they were our age" I said clicking on the movie and pressing play.

"I love you Hazel Grace" Augustus Waters said.
"Awh" I giggled looking over at Anthony.
"Why do I always catch you looking at me?" I chuckled.
He stayed silent in the darkness, and put his hand on my chin. He leaned in and his soft lips met mine.
I hesitated and slightly pulled away.
"What?" I softly giggled.
"You don't understand how long I have been waiting for that" he huffed.
He looked back up and I kissed him again. This time managing to put my hands on his chest and slightly laying on top of him.
It wasn't crazy but it was simple and meaningful.
"Why didn't you tell me this?" I asked him laying my head down beside his.
"Never wanted o lose you as a friend." He said.
"Why now?" I asked
"Couldn't resist" he shrugged his shoulders.
I heard bits and prices of what he was saying and the movie but soon snug if drifted to sleep.

I woke up laying on top of Anthony and his arms wrapped around me.
I opened my eyes more taking in the sunlight shining in to my room.
I pushed myself up.
"Sorry" I smiled as he woke up.
"Did we- or was that a dream?" He asked groggily.
"We didn't have sex if that's what you were implying" I giggled.
"No, but we did make-out?" He asked.
I nodded. And then it came to reality.
My eyes shot open towards his bare chest.
I got off of him.
I shut my door.
"Shit" he said under his breath.
"What are you 'shit'-ing about?" I asked.
"Ben will kill me if he finds out." He put his hand over his head.
"He just won't find out." I said.
"We both can't say anything to anyone. It's our little secret" I added.
"Yeah. So can we kiss again?" His eyebrows widened.
I pecked him on the lips and walked out of my room.
The stench of alcohol and barf filled the air.
Great. Can't wait for mom and dad to get home..
