Chapter 7: Party Time and Morning Breath

    The party is tonight and to say I'm scared shitballs is an under-exaggeration. The party is tonight and I still don't know what to wear. The party is tonight and I still don't know what to expect. But I know for a fact, that I will be attending this party. I was running out of time, going through possible outfits and Niall will be picking me up soon. I pulled on a black tank. "I need something more." I thought to myself.

    I walked to my closet and pulled out various jackets and decided on a thin, black denim jacket with a skull and cross bones, and other patches and a star pin. I pulled on my combat boots and walked to my small mirror, tying a bandanna around my head, I looked too busy so I took off the thin material and decided to let my mop of curls hang loose for the night. I ruffled them and heard the familiar Note text tone, singling that I received a text. I grabbed my iPod from my bed side table and read the following,

    From: Irish Bitch

    I'm parked down the road cause your dad scares the living shit out of me. come out when youre done making yourself hot.

    To: Irish Bitch

    You got it, crazy mofo.

    I pocketed my iPod, and slowly opening my window, trying not to let it make any noise. Once it was open enough for me to sqeaze out of, I swung one leg over and then the other, so I was sitting inside the window. I swung my left leg over, trying to reach the roof for the porch. I got the tip of my toes on, and I scooted closer. I managed to get my whole foot on the small roof, and I hoisted my body up, and jumped, freezing when I heard the sound of me landing. "I can't get caught." I whispered to myself. I got to the edge of the porch, sitting down, and slowly sliding my bum until I was at the very edge of the roof. I closed my eyes and made one final scooch, not opening my eyes until I felt the soft grass underneath my body. I opened my eyes, looking around to see if anyone might have seen me, when I noticed no one around, I stood up and dusted myself off. I then realized I was still in my front yard so I started to sprint to Niall's car. I ran up to the small car, grabbing the door as I breathed heavily, and tried to catch my breath.

    "Damn, I didn't park that far away." Niall said, looking at me with a weird expression.

    "My fat ass thinks you did." We both laughed and Niall started to pull away from the curb.

    "You do look hot though, Ash. Like, the fuck?" The blond complimented, barely looking at the road.

    "Oh please Niall. You're the hot one here. And don't tell me you're all of a sudden gay now too?"

    "Only for you." He looked over at me, winked, and put his hand on my thigh.

    We both looked at each other and laughed. He took his hand off my thigh and returned it to its rightful place on the steering wheel.

    By the time we pulled up to Calum's house, It was nearly 9 and the party was as alive as ever. There was people in the front yard with red Solo cups and lounge chairs that look like they belong in the living room. We exited the car and began walking.

    Niall grabbed my hand and I looked over at him with a smile.

    "Not nervous, are you?"

    "No. You?"

    I took a long breath and answered, "Nope." But we both knew how nervous each other actually is. It's like a curse that comes with being best friends. We walking into the semi large house, I was expecting it to bigger. That's what she said. I laughed in my head and a small smile formed on my face. There were people making out against the walls and on the stairs. Niall covered my eyes with his Irish hands and I mentally thanked him. Niall guided me through the house, as his hands still covered my eyes, to a room that was much quieter. He uncovered my eyes and I was relieved to see we were in the kitchen. I love kitchens. Well not my kitchen because we don't have food in my kitchen, but I love other people's kitchens. I looked around the well decorated, nice appliance, filled kitchen and I saw my Kiwi friend sitting on the counter, talking to Jackass Lucas and Michael.
