"Body shoooots!"

I inwardly groaned when Ashton shouted that out, making everyone in the room - which included Kat, Levi, Michael, Calum, Ash, Luke, Bryana and Arz - cheer and shout, holding their drinks up in the air.

"I am not doing body shots," I inform Michael, who was sitting next to me on the floor and leaning against the wall. I decided to just stick with some water, and since I wasn't drinking, Michael (being the lovely boyfriend that he is) opted out as well. Meanwhile almost everyone else was shit faced, especially Ash and Kat.

"God," Michael snickered, shaking his head. "You really are that loser at parties who just stands in a corner awkwardly eating chips."

I shoved his shoulder.

"In my defense, I'm sitting, and I'm eating popcorn," I pointed out, shoving a handful of buttery goodness into my mouth. Michael grinned at me.

"Didn't bother to deny being a loser, huh?" He chuckled, his eyes twinkling as he looked at me. I rolled my eyes and laughed softly.

"You don't have to be a loser with me, you know."

Michael shrugged, then wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer to him. I snuggled into his chest and watched Kat attempt to flirt with Cal.

"Nothing wrong with being a loser, babe."

My cheeks heated up and I slapped his chest.

"I kid, I kid!" He laughs and I can't help but smile as his eyes squeeze close and his head tilts back, hitting the wall. I hum.

"Babe," I mocked and he cocked an eyebrow at me.

"Hm?"

"Nothing, I just like when you call me that," I mused, watching our friends dance to The Weeknd.

"I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it," they all belted out. Even though they were all drunk, it was oddly satisfying to just sit there and watch everyone be so happy.

"Babe babe babe babe," Michael prattled, tickling my sides. I burst out laughing and pushed his hands away.

"Fuck off," I shoved him, giggling. He smiled at me and took hold of my chin, placing a soft kiss to my lips.

He pulled me close again, kissing my hair as I watched Ashton do a body shot off of Bryana, causing everyone to shout and clap. I laughed when a huge grin broke out on Ashton's face, making his dimples show, and he grabbed Bryana by the waist, pulling her in for a kiss. She snatched his fedora off of his head and put it on her own.

"Ew," Michael fake gagged and I rolled my eyes.

"Oh whatever, you know you're Brashton trash," I mumbled. Levi looked over at me, sending me a small smile which I returned.

"Why is he even here?" Michael suddenly asked, clearly seeing the interaction.

"Cause I invited him?" I replied, slightly confused. Michael scoffed.

"Don't do this now" I snapped, pushing away from him.

"You know I don't like him, Mae!" He said, raising his voice.

I crossed my arms over my chest, glaring at him as anger filled my veins. He scoffed again and stood up, stomping his way towards the door. I quickly got up, managing to spill my cup of water but I didn't care. I chased after Michael, ignoring the stares and Kat yelling my name, and slipped through the door of the room next door.
