Intoxicated Hearts (Beau Brooks Fanfiction)

Chapter 12

ELLIES POV:

"Hey," I say as I knock on Beaus door.

"Oh hey, Beau will be ready in a sec," Luke says as he looks at me.

"Thanks," I smile.

"You look great Ellie," he adds.

"Thanks again," I laugh. We laugh together but are interrupted when Beau knocks Luke out of the way. He is a fitted tux that looks so sexy on him.

"Hey beautiful," he smiles as he kisses my cheek.

"Hi," I smile. Everyone goes silent for some reason.

"We should get going," Beau says breaking the silence.

"Yeah," I answer, "Bye Luke."

"See ya later," Luke answers as Beau takes my hand. He leads me to his car and shuts the door behind me before hopping in the drivers seat. Beau starts the car then reverses out of his driveway while Luke waves us off. As we are driving down the road Beau notices my hands twitching.

"You okay?" he asks me looking worried.

"Yeah, just a bit scared," I answer.

"Of what?" he questions.

"Of what is going to happen tonight," I answer. He nods without saying anything. I assume he is thinking of what tonight is going to bring too. I get lost in my thoughts because before we know it Beau has parked the car and we are walking towards the entrance.

****************

"Wow," Beau says as we step into the massive hall. It is decorated with fancy ice sculptures and chandeliers.

"What?" I ask.

"It's so fancy," he answers looking around in awe.

I laugh, "Come on we got a girl to find." He just stands there looking around at everything totally mesmerized. I shake my head and grab his hand before pulling him off with me. As I pull him off towards the bar he snaps out of his trance.

"Ooo bar!" he says happily.

"You can only have one okay? I don’t want a drunk person plus the person I am trying to catch on my hands," I tell him sternly.

"Okay boss, I will get a bourbon and cola and a vodka and lemonade," Beau says to the bar tender.

"Beau I said one!" I hiss.

"One for me and one for you," he winks. I roll my eyes and shake my head. He can get so irritating sometimes but that's why I love him. When we get our drinks we scan the place for people who look like me.

"Seen anyone?" I ask Beau.

"Nope, maybe we should walk around and have a look?" he suggests.

"Yeah okay," I answer. Beau smiles and takes my hand while leading me off to somewhere.

"Ellie?" I hear someone question. I turn around to see Todd standing there smiling.

"Todd," I smile, "Haven’t seen you in a while."

"It's been ages hey, how you been?" he asks as he steps closer to Beau and I.

"I've been good, how about you?" I ask him.

"Oh yeah same old," he answers. Beau nudges my side because I'm sorta excluding him from my conversation.

"Oh Todd this is my boyfriend Beau," I say to Todd.

"Hey man," Todd smiles as he shakes Beaus hand.

"Nice to meet you," Beau smiles.

"So you got a girlfriend?" I ask Todd. Knowing him he probably will. The girls love him because he is not only attractive and rich but he has a really soft side.

"Nah, been too busy for girls, you know with footy and stuff," he answers me.

"You play footy?" Beau asks.

"Yeah, you?" Todd asks him.

"Used to, I went away for a bit so I couldn’t really play but my brothers do," Beau says. They get really into their conversation so as Beau and Todd talk about footy I glance around. As I am looking around I see a girl with long brown hair and a skinny figure. I can see the side profile of her face as she is to the side of me. I look closely at her and it sorta looks like me. I keep my eyes on her hoping she will turn around. After about five minutes of staring at this random she finally shifts slightly so I am able to see her face.

She is just as I remembered, that skinny tanned face with those bright blue eyes. I look down at her black sequined dress. It looks so expensive but looks great on her. What am I saying? She is trying to hurt me. Ellie concentrate, it is her, I know it.

"Well this has been great but Beau and I must be going," I butt into Todd and Beau's conversation.

"Why?" Beau questions. I stare at him with wide eyes.

"Oh yeah we better go," Beau finally realises what is happening. The whole time I keep glancing back to the girl making sure I don’t lose her.

"It was great seeing you Todd," I smile.

"You too, nice meeting you Beau. We should play footy sometime," Todd answers.

"Yeah definitely see ya," Beau says. Todd smiles before walking off with some other guy.

"Where is she?" Beau asks me. I look over to her and point.

"That's her," Beau says looking so sure.

"What are we going to do?" I ask Beau.

"Go jump her," he laughs.

"Beau I am serious, what do we do?" I sternly say.

"I don’t know," he answers.

"Okay think Ellie think," I start to talk to myself.

"Um Ellie," Beau says.

"What can you do to get her?" I again talk to myself.

"Ellie!" Beau says again.

"What?" I ask annoyed.

"I think she saw us," Beau says as he points to her. The girl is looking at me with wide eyes and before I know it she is running for the exit.

"Follow her!" I tell Beau as I push through the crowd after her. I get a few dirty looks as I am running through a rich persons ball but I don’t care. A crazy bitch is on the loose and I'm not talking about me. As I am pushing through everyone I can see her getting further and further away. Finally I get out of the crowd and bolt after her. That is one of my talents, being able to run fast in heels. I can see Beau out of the corner of my eye as he bolts after her.

"You can’t run forever!" I scream out after her. She doesn’t stop running from us, gosh she is still that stubborn person she was back when we were ten. Just when it seems like we caught her she hops into a black Porsche and speeds off.

"Fuck!" I shout as I watch the car get further and further away.

"Well that was a bust," I say as Beau stands beside me.

"No entirely," he says. I look up at him with a confused look. He smirks before taking my hand and placing something in it.

"This is hers?" I ask.

"I saw it slip out of her dress so I picked it up," he smirks.

"I can't believe this. This is her whole life in my hands," I stare at it in disbelief, "I'm going to text Riley."

"I'll text the boys," Beau answers. We both take our phones out as we text the boys.

Ellie: Riley you will never guess what Beau just picked up.

Riley: What?

I look down at the small black rectangle that is in my hands. I look up at the place where the car was just parked and smile an evil smile like Grace used to.

Ellie: Grace's phone.
