Blair picked me up so we could drive over and meet up with her friends at their house. "I hope you don't mind spending the night at my friends house. We might not make it to your apartment by the end of the night." She says with a giggle. "Um... Sure I guess I don't really have a choice." I said starting to regret my choice already. "Don't worry you'll love everyone I promise." She said with a sincere smile. She then went on to tell me about everyone who would be joining us. There was the "married couple" Alice and Fergus, they where two madly in love young collage students. They where high school sweet hearts, and Alice was pregnant. I thought it was crazy for them to do so much at only twenty-one. Then there was the "goof" Rory. He was only nineteen and had a futbol scholarship, that I mistakenly thought she meant American football. Blair told me to not take anything he said seriously. The the "twins" Ava and Harper. Identical twins except for a small mole above Ava's lip. Blair said they where polar opposite, Ava very goofy and tough. Harper on the other hand was serious and girly. The only people who seemed like I would get along with was Ava and Harper.
We pulled up to a small house that resembled a cottage. It had pretty green vines growing all over turning the burnt red brick into fifty shades of green. In front of the house there where weeds all grown in one area like it was meant to be that way. We got out of the car and walked up he stone steps to meet everyone. "Stop being such an arse Fergus." I hear followed by laughter as I walk in. Once we make it into the room where the voices where coming from I was formally introduced to everyone. "Well let's go get legless!" Rory cheered making his curly red hair bounce. "Stop it Rory no one is going to hold your hair back for you when you start throwing up because you drank to much." Blair says sarcastically. "It's not my fault all you guys have sticks up your buts or a baby inside you." He said firing back at her. "How about we go before anyone gets miffed." Harper said seriously. I then leaned into Blair and said, "I don't like being the only American here, I get so confused by the British slang." She then laughed and whispered back, "give it a year or two and you'll understand. Don't be afraid to ask either, otherwise you'll use it wrong and just look stupid." We then all huddled into Alice's car me being squeezed between Ava and Harper.
When we pulled up to what Fergus called the "hippest bar in town" there was a line going down the block. "How are we supposed to get in?" I squeaked. "That would be you ladies job." Said Rory with a smirk on his face. Ava smacked him in the back of the head and said, "don't worry Harper's boyfriend's family owns the place. "Oh, that's cool." I said almost whispering. "Come on Kalli stop being so up tight. We are all friends here." Blair said chirpily from the front of the car. We all climb out of Alice's car like a bunch of clowns in those old black and white movies. We past all the people in the long line to speak to the giant security guard. Harper goes up and says "I'm Harper Fields and they are my friends." The man looked at her then at us and moved the rope to let us in. I heard the murmurs of people complaining about them letting us in as we walk away.
When we walk in the dark room my eye goes directly to the neon lit bar then a dance floor to the left, on the right are booths and a lounge area. I want to go straight to the lounge area but I'm whipped every witch way. Ava and Blair head straight for the dance floor, Fergus and Rory go to the bar,and Harper went to find her boyfriend. I was then left with Alice. "So want to go to the lounging area? No other safe place for me and my baby." Alice said rubbing her stomach. She got in because she's only two months and hasn't shown yet. "Um yeah." I said distracted by the loud up beat background music.
We take a seat on the couch and take a water out of the cooler on the table. Before I had time to get one word out with Alice, Blair came up and dragged me to the dance floor. Ever girl on the floor was dressed very risky including Blair, I felt like I stuck out with my skinny jeans and tank top. I finally got comfortable, and was twisting my body to the beat with Blair when some guys come up to me and Blair and start dancing with us. Blair winks at me and separates herself from me with the other guy. I start to back away now feeling uncomfortable. I end up backing off the dance floor and into someone, causing them to spill their drinks all over me and them. I turn around already blurting out an apology. "It's fine it was my fault." A familiar voice say. I look up to see Harry. "Wow I'm really sorry. I was just trying to back away from this guy and I wasn't paying attention." I say nervously. "Here let me help." He says standing up now. "Why are you flirting with my girl." He says gruffly to the guy trying to dance with me. The guy then says, "sorry, I didn't know she was with someone." The guy then left and I was left with Harry alone again today. "Thanks. Again. Your always a big help." I say awkwardly. "It's all good it's my job to save damsels in distress." He said with that same dimple showing smile. I laughed and said, "I think I defiantly owe you a coffee." He smiled and said, "let me know whenever your free." Then a brunette girl walks up and kisses Harry and says, "honey where are our drinks?" He becomes red in the face and says, "I was just going to get them. But I bumped into my friend Kalli. Kalli this is Layla." "HIS GIRLFRIEND!" She practically yells at me. I just stair at them nod goodbye to Harry and walk, more like run to Alice for shelter.
Alice starts laughing when she sees me. "What happened to you?" She says still giggling. "Um.. I have no idea." I say still processing it all. Why does it matter that he has a girlfriend. Other than the fact that she's obviously a jealous, and obviously possessive of her boyfriend. I try to let it go but for the rest of the night I just sit with Alice and listen to her babble about baby names. A few hours of that and Blair finally comes up to us. "Well the devil herself, what have you been up to?" Alice asked Blair. "Nothing, just getting some free shots from that guy I was dancing with." She said pointing to him. "What happened to you Kalli I lost you on the dance floor?" Blair says. "Um I don't know." I say looking around. "She's been like this for the past few hours." Says Alice while making goofy faces. Blair then drug me into the bathroom that was much more pleasant than I thought it would be. The music now muffled. Making my ears rings at the different volume changes. "What's up. Are you not having fun. We can go if need to. Or get a shot." She says with all seriousness. "Um.. I don't know. The guy that fixed my door today I ran into him and I found out he had a girlfriend." I say. Now feeling stupid hearing myself say it out loud. "Oh you mean that arrogant loser Harry. And his girlfriend Layla." She says rolling her eyes. "Yeah what's wrong with his girlfriend?" I ask. "Nothing. He's just a man whore. And she's a bitch. They are perfect for each other." She says with an attitude. "Oh." I manage. "Look nothing against you, but Harry isn't worth your time. He just sleeps with girls. Layla isn't really his girlfriend just his personal slut." She says. I now realize she's drunk. I walk her back to Alice and tell her to cut her off. I hand her a water bottle and try to round up everyone else so we can leave. As I walk up to Fergus and Rory, Harry steps in front of me and says, "look I'm sorry about Layla, she's drunk and crazy. But to make up for it I could by you lunch tomorrow?" "I thought I owed you not the other way around?" I blurt not even thinking. "But I'll text you when I get up tomorrow." I blurt again. What am I doing I think to myself. He's bad news don't do this to yourself. An hour later I finally round up everyone and we leave. On the way home we go through a Journey CD, listening to Ava and Blair scream to it. By the time we get back to the little cottage it's three am. and I don't want to make Alice stay awake any longer so I sleep on the couch with Blair. As I drift off I think about Harry and I hanging out tomorrow.
