Be Mine

Chapter Sixteen

"So, is this the place?" Zara asked as she got out of the car and pushed the car door closed behind her, taking a look around.

The place was like a freaking mansion. Oh, it was big alright.

Cars were parked in specific open grounds of the house, and other than that a few trees by the front yard were all decorated with lights.

The upbeat music coming from inside the closed doors of the house could clearly be heard, the moving shadows of people could be seen through the dark curtains from the huge glass windows.

"Oh, this is the place alright." Zara mumbled the answer to her own question herself before looking over at Grace, "What's up with Amber?"

"Oh well, I called her because I wanted to pick her up but she said there's no need.." Grace trailed off with a thoughtful face as they made their way towards the front steps.

"What? She's coming, right? I came here for you guys-"

"This isn't really the time to get tensed Zara," Grace smirked as she pressed her finger on to the doorbell, "Amber is coming, she was always excited about this, quit worrying."

Zara nodded as the door opened just then, revealing the brown messy haired Nathan wearing a buttoned up gray shirt with some plain dark jeans.

"Hey girls, glad you could make it." He said loudly over the music, giving Grace a side hug while he gave Zara a smile, which she returned as they got in.

After a few minutes Nathan had gone over to talk to other people as Grace and Zara started making their way towards the kitchen counter.

Unlike a bar, the place was pretty lit. People were pretty much just talking with drinks in their hand, some were getting over each other on the stairs, while most just danced to the beat in the living room.

"I smell alcohol," Zara scoffed as she stared at a couple who were almost taking each other's clothes off on the couch.

Grace rolled her eyes, giving her a smirk, "Come on."

"Wha-" Before Zara could finish, she was being dragged towards the living room, being pulled into the middle of the crazy crowd.

"What are you doing!" Zara yelled over the loud music with a laugh as she stared at her best friend.

"Having fun-" Grace said as she started jumping up and down just like the crowd was, putting her arms up over her head and moving to the beat, "-which you should be having too! Come on!"

Zara laughed as she gave Grace one last helpless look before giving in, starting slowly before finally letting loose, just enjoying the music as she moved her body along.

Grace grinned as she shook her head, ruffling her loose waves as she danced along, before her eyes caught a hold of something that made her heart thump loud in her chest.

She definitely didn't want to see that.

She stopped dancing for a second, her stare still fixed at the same place as she started moving forward, pushing a few people slightly to take a better look.

Zayn was here, looking as good as he always did, but he wasn't alone. There was someone, a girl, clutching on to his arm with her hand as if she was his date, as they both laughed in harmony while talking to Nathan.

Grace stood still, her mouth clenched. He brought someone? That was his date?

Zara slowed down her movements as she realized that Grace was nowhere near by, making her scrunch her eye brows in confusion.
Before she could take a good look around, she got distracted by a warm hand grabbing on to her arm, making her turn around to see it was none other than Harry.
