"Shh!" I said in a blurred voice. Yep. I was drunk. Thanks to my friend, Julia. Wow, she can tempt someone so easily. I'm not much of a drinker, but today I just decided to. I hated the way alcohol tastes in my mouth and especially when it stings my throat. "I love to walk, down the streets, I love my feet!" I yelled. What was i saying?

"Shh. Leah, i just wanted you to taste one! Not drink like 8 of them! You'll wake people.!"

"I think it's too late for that." Someone said. I turned my head sharply. Julia creased her eyebrows.

"Who are you?" She asked. I looked up and down. He was really cute. Wait. I think I know him. I'm not sure from where.

"Do I know you?" I said. I tried to say that, without sounding drunk. I'm pretty sure i looked and smelt drunk, so there was actually no reason for me to try that. The guy shook his head then shrugged.

"Probably. Probably not. You might know me, but i don't know you." He said, shaking his head. I do. I know him. He used to be in my 10th grade class. Him and his brother had to leave, to go to some boot camp, or something like that. They've got caught smoking and drinking in the school yard. Zayn and Zack Malik.

"Ye-ah!" i said, hiccuping in the middle of the word. "You were in my umm, class. In high school. Remember? I'm Leah. I was kinda chubby and i always hung out with Naomi." I pointed at him, like that would make him remember, or something. He scoffed and shook his head.

"Yeah, i do remember you. You... lost weight." I shook my head and burped. Ew, tasted like alcohol. I really need to not drink. I tried to bend over to take off my shoes, but Julia stopped me.

"You're gonna fall, stop." She said. She bent over and helped me slid my heels off. She put them in one hand put her arm around my waist, and put my arm around her shoulders. "Well, nice to meet you.. Zayn. I need to take Leah home. See you around, maybe." Then we took off. It was a long way home. Well, to me. "Where's your key Leah?" We arrived at my flat and I shrugged my shoulders and sighed. I looked through my clutch-bag then my bra, hoping i put it in there. No luck. I never put things in my bra, really. Julie sighed and shook her head. She leaned me on the wall and took my bag. She dug through it for a while, then closed it. "Really?" She mumbled.

"Hey! Your.. t-the p-person who got m-me drrunk." I said. I laughed and pointed at Julie

"I told you to try it, not drink 5 glasses. That's what happens when you get too drunk.." She pushed me back up and supported me. To be honest I really didn't even know where we were going. My head start to hurt and i hiccuped. I was looking down the whole time, at my feet. When i looked back up we were in the driveway of her flat. We walked up to the doors and she unlocked it. We walked towards the elevator and got in. She lives on the 4th floor. When we got to the 4th floor we walked out, almost bumping into someone. Wow. What a coincidence. Zack Malik.

"Who-ah. Do you need help?" He asked. was he talking to me or Julia? Julia shook her head and said a simple 'No thank you,' then walked off. We took like to steps and my knees buckled. Julia caught me and sighed.

"I got it." Some one said. I looked to see who it was and it was Zack. He was cute too, but something about Zayn made him... cuter. Except Zayn didn't even try to help. Another arm wrapped around my waist then my calf. What? Out of no where i was swept off the floor and into Zack's arms. Wow. This was weird. I've only talked to him like 2 times. And that was asking if he had a pencil or something. I looked at Zack and we were basically face to face. He gave a little smile and started to walk. I turned my head and Julia was opening the door.

"Thanks He shook his head and smiled.

"No problem."

I shut my eyes for a about a minute, ready to drift to sleep. When i hit something soft i opened my eyes. Zack laid me down on the couch and smiled at me. He moved some hair out of my face and tucked it behind my hair. He's weird, because i hardly even know him, but he's sweet. I smiled and yawned. I dropped my bag on the floor and turned my body. I was facing the couch, my back facing the rest of the room. I only heard a couple of words then I zoned out.
