Chapter 6- Let's Go Party,
Ari's POV,
"Okay, this is it." I sighed to my self as I parked my car in front of James' massive flat. I got out of the vehicle and fixed my top, alining with slightly crooked, and then made my way into the loud party.
Music blared from every place around and inside the house. You could at least hear it down the block. All around me, were sweaty body's. Either people drunk off their ass, grinding on someone, or snogging someone in the corner. I made my way through the crowd, heading to the back yard, where there were less chances to be raped...
"Ariana! You made it!" I turned around and saw James, smiling, I smiled back, flattered that a popular jock knows my name. "Yeah." "Well, have fun! Save me a dance will ya?" He winked before turning on his heels and heading the other direction. I tried to keep in my excitement, as I look around, seeing if I knew anyone else here.
"Ariana?" Someone asked behind me, I turned around to be faced with Teagan. "Ya, it's me." I confessed putting my hands up, she wrapped her arms around me in a hug, apparently drunk. She wobbled as she stepped away from me, I didn't know you partied?" She slurred out. I rolled my eyes. "I've been to parties with you." I said back. She crossed her arms over her chest, "I think I would have remembered that." She got out hesitantly.
She ran to the garbage bin across the yard, throwing up into it. I scrunched my nose as I made my way back inside. The music flooded my ears again, the current song was E.T. by Katy Perry, and all I could think about was me and Niall. The song ended, as I finally got to the indoor bar. This kid was rich.
I got a beer, drinking most of it in one gulp. I set it down before taking another. My head started to spin after about 2 more of those. "Niall?" I asked as a blonde sat next to me. He turned his head, sure enough. "Ari?"
"Well duh, it's me!" I slurred, and opened my arms for a hug. He gladly accepted and hugged me. "Were you drinking?" He asked, as we pulled away. "Uhhhh." He shook his head,
"Ari, you're 17, still under age to drink." He stated. "Yeah, by one year, how bad could it possibly be." I shrugged. "Well, it's illi-" I cut him off, "look, I came to have fun and forget about- about things, so stop acting like my mum and let me enjoy myself."
He looked shocked but nodded. "Fine. Just promise me you won't drink anymore?" I rolled my eyes at him, but sighed and nodded. "Why do you even care?"
"Because your like a sister, and I care about you." There he goes saying the 's' word again. I got up and stumbled to the dance floor, leaving Niall alone. I don't know why, but the alcohol makes me more confident, normally I would just sit doing nothing at parties, but now I feel like just losing it.
I started swaying my hips to the beat of the music, and getting lost in it. Soon, I felt two pair of hands on my waist, I looked up and stared right in James' hazel eyes. I smirked and started dancing again. I could tell we were starting to get attention from people, but I didn't care, I was only focusing on James.
After about six songs, I decided to get a drink. No, not beer, water this time. "Hey." I looked at the person and saw James smiling. "Oh hey." I said, sipping my cold water. "You were amazing out there, I've never seen you so... alive."
"I feel alive." I laughed. He took a sip of his beer, "Want some?" He motioned the cup to me. I looked at it and nodded. He put it up to my lips and I sipped it, feeling it sizzle down my throat.
"Ariana?" He asked, stepping closer to me. "Hmmm?" I hummed. He put his forehead on mine putting his hands on my waist, me putting mine around his neck. "Stay here tonight?" I looked at him and thought for a second. "Please?"
All I did was give a slight nod, and he kissed my cheek, but I didn't feel that sweet sensation from when Niall kissed it. I smiled at him, and he took my hand. He handed me another drink, but I pushed it away. "C'mon Ari, have some more."
I sighed and took it from him. I finished the whole cup right away and everything was in a blur. I was currently laughing my ass off at some 'joke' that someone said. That's when my eyes landed on my best friend who looked at me as if we never met.
He walked up to us and stood in front of me. "Ariana. What did I say about drinking?" He frowned. "Niall, baby what's up." I giggled, wrapping my arms around him, but almost falling, as my vision was off. He caught me, putting my arm round his neck.
"You're so drunk. C'mon I'm taking you home." As he walked me out of the house, we were stopped by a familiar voice. "Oi, Horan. Where you going with her?" James said, walking up to us.
"I'm taking her home, she's wasted." He pointed out. "Well, put her in my room, she's staying here tonight." Niall raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean she's staying here tonight?"
"I mean, she is going to spend the night here, I asked her and she said yes, so my room." Niall shook his head, "She probably didn't even know what she said, she's obviously drunk. I'm taking her home." We turned around, but James stopped us.
"Who are you making her decisions, huh? Are you like her boyfriend?" Niall looked at me but I looked away, looking at the floor. He sighed, "No, I'm her best friend, who simply doesn't want her to get into trouble if she stays here. Bye James."
We walked to my car, but of course he drove. "What was that?" He glanced at me and then back on the rode. "I can't let you stay there." He answered. "It's not up to you." I huffed. "So you actually agreed to stay there?"
"Yeah." I nodded. "Well, your mum wouldn't be so happy if she found out." He stated. "I don't care. I went to this party, because I was in my room always being depressed over stupid things, and at this party, I felt like I could do anything and James actually wanted me to stay, so I took the offer."
"Why are you always depressed?" He questioned, furrowing his eyebrows at me. "Like you don't know." I mumbled. He sighed, "I thought you understood, I don't wanna ruin out friendship."
We arrived at my drive way, but we sat there in the car. "Well, I feel like this friendship is already ruined." I looked down. "I'm sorry you feel that way, Ariana you know I love you, but as a s-"
"Sister?! Well, I don't feel like that towards you, I don't know how I fell so hard for you but there's nothing I can do about these feelings I feel towards you. You're the reason why I'm crying every night, you're the reason why I'm always depressed. You're the reason why I'm heart broken. Everything. It's bad enough I feel so insecure about myself." I burst.
"Look, I'm sorry Ariana! I care about you, I really do. I just don't feel the same feelings. And, you shouldn't be insecure, you're beautiful, nothing to hate about yourself."
I feel the stupid tears slip from the corners of my eyes, see what I mean, he tells me he doesn't like me that way, then tells me I'm beautiful, how am supposed to not like him?! He wiped the tears with his thumb. "Please don't cry Ari."
"Why." I sniffled. He leaned in and kissed the corner of my mouth. "Because, I'm not worth your tears." He whispered. I looked at him and smiled, at least I know he cares for me, even if he doesn't have feelings for me. "Thanks." I told him.
"Go get some rest. I'll see you tomorrow for lessons, and I also need to tell you something important." He smiled. I nodded and hugged him before getting out of the car and into my house. I changed into my sleeping wear and cuddled in bed. What a party.
