The Leader

22-Carolines

Gigi parked in the large driveway infront of Caroline's house. It was bigger than Sophia and Liam's. But their house was a home. This house looked like Niall's, a party house.

Gigi led me up to the front door and opened it. The house had a black light. It was dark blue and there was some slow upbeat music playing. I followed Gigi to the main room.

The boys, Luke and Natalia, Haley, Erica, and Lottie were all sitting on the coaches and floor. There was smoke coming from a tray on the coffee table in the middle. Gigi plopped down next to Zayn on the floor.

Harry looked up lazily when he saw us come in, then jumped up to greet me. He walked over looking excited. He was smiling like an idiot with that cheeky smirk of his. His dimples were so deep I could honestly drown in them. I smiled when he embraced me, pulling me into him. It felt so good to touch him. I buried my face in his chest.

"Missed you, love." Harry whispered in my ear. His whisper sent shivers down my spine. I squeezed on to him tighter, feeling harry chuckle. He kissed the top of my head.

Harry placed his hand on my lower back and led me to the spot he was sitting in before and we sat down. I sinked into Harrys side, resting my head on his shoulder.

Everyone looked calm. And there was a weird smell in here. Not like cigarettes, something else that was burning. I had no clue what it was and didn't want to be rude and ask. Caroline waved at me to come over to her. I got up and went over.

"Hey you don't look like your having as much fun as everyone else is!" Caroline said, her voice a bit raspy. I shrugged not really knowing how to respond to her. I guess she was right though.

"Here, take these." Caroline said handing me 2 tablets. I looked at them in my hand cautiously.

"What are they?" I asked.

"Happy pills." She simply responded.

"What will they do?" I asked.

"Just, you know, loosen you up so you'll have fum." She said. I nodded, not really sure if i should thank her or not. I went back over to my spot next to Harry.

"Happy pills." Harry said seeing what was in my hand. I'm guessing these were drugs and I've never done drugs before, so I wasn't planning on taking them.

Harry seeing my unsure face took them from my hand and placed them in his mouth. I stared up at him seeing if they would do anything to him, but then harry leaned down and kissed me. He parted my lips with his tongue and slid in the pills that started to dissolve in our mouths.

I was nervous for a second but when I started to taste them, they were sweet. Harry continued the sloppy kiss until the pills had completely dissolved, leaving a funny after taste.

At first i didn't feel any different from when I first arrived. It took nearly 2 minutes before I started to feel extremely...Happy. The beat from the song that was playing was roaring in my head and i started nodding along to the music unexpectedly.

I looked up at harry with my new found joy. He was smiling down at me and winked. I giggled at him and scooted in even closer to him. Harry wrapped his big muscular arms around me and I snakes my hand over his chest.

I looked around again. Haley, Luke Natalia, and Niall were around what looked like a vase. Then I mentally slapped myself, it was probably a bong.

Erica, Louis, Lottie were taking shots with Caroline. Zayn and Gigi were smoking together and blowing the smoke in each others mouths. It was kinda weird but also cute.

Caroline came walking over with another thing in her hand.

"Hunter. Harry." She said smiling as she handed it to Harry. He took it happily and I noticed it looked like a cigarette, but bigger. He inhaled a big breath of it and held it in his mouth before he blew it out his nose. It was oddly seductive.

"Want some?" He asked me, holding it out.

"What is it?" I asked taking it in my fingers.

"Just a joint." Harry said watching me intensely. I blushed. I just realized this was weed. I've never done any of this stuff before. But I kinda liked the thought of me disobeying everything my parents told me not to do. So I figured, why the hell not?

"What do i do?" I asked.

"Just inhale it into your chest and then suck in more air and hold it in for a while before you let it out." Harry said smiling.

I timidly brought the joint up to my lips and inhaled a small amount of smoke into my  mouth. Then i took in some air and held it in. My throat burned when the smoke went down and i coughed. The weird burnt taste was lingering in my mouth.

"Yeah, I remember the first time I did this. Same thing happened to me." Harry said patting my back. I was so embarrassed. But now I really wanted to do this and get high. So I took another breath from the joint. I made sure I didn't cough...too much. It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't say it was good either. I definitely preferred the happy pills because they at least tasted sweet.

After a few more moments of inhaling I became frustrated. I wasn't feeling any different than before. I handed it back to Harry.

"Don't worry, not everyone gets high their first time." Harry said as he took the joint in between his teeth and winked at me. All he had to do was look at me and he owned me it seemed.

As I waited for my high to kick in I started to think about Jaden. I've been putting her to the back of my head ever since I got her text. What if she's really mad at me? But why? All I did was quit. She still will see me during school and after school.

Suddenly I felt like I was watching everyone around me through a screen. Like, I wasn't here with them. I felt my eyes get low and the only thought in my head was "life's awesome". The music that was playing in the background sounded amazing. The weird burnt smell and taste in my mouth made me feel calm. The weird Buddha art in Caroline's house looked cool and seemed to match my mood with the bright colors. I just felt all around...better.

I looked at Harry. He was smiling at something. I wasn't sure what but it was in Louis direction. I just stared at harry for a long time. I felt kinda tired now. I felt like I was floating almost. But I didn't care if I ever came down. I could definitely see why people do this now.

Harry turned to look at me. He smiled at me.

"How do you feel?" He asked me.

"Cool." I said slowly. My eyes never left Harry. I kept thinking how beautiful he is. How intense and intimidating he was to be around. But also how sweet and gentle and passionate he can be when he wants. He's extremely complicated.

I yawned and leaned onto Harry's chest.

"Harry." I said. He put his big hand on the back of my head and was playing with my Harry.

"Hmm?" He asked me softly.

"I'm tired." I said as my eyelids got heavier. I felt Harry pick me up bridal style, I would've asked what he was doing but j just let him. But I my eyes were getting difficult to keep open. Sleeping sounds amazing right now. I rested my head in Harry's neck as he walked and I dazed off into the best sleep I've ever had.
