Beneath Your Beautiful

Chapter 2

Cassie's POV:

"Are you almost done? It's like 8:30!" I groaned from on top of Julie's bed who had already spent an hour getting ready.

"Yeah." she mumbled as she curled her hair some more-even though it was already curly.

"Hurry up!" I squeaked. I was so anxious and ready to go to the party. I really am ready.

"Anxious much?" she bit her lip in concentration as she relined her already thick eyeliner.

Yes.

"No!" I folded my arms and smiled at her.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ready?" she said standing up and brushing herself off and smiling.

"Yes!" I stood up quickly and looked in the mirror real fast.

"I thought you didn't want to go?" she teased and I rolled my eyes.

"I don't..I just want this night to end." I lied.

"Suuure." she laughed and grabbed her bag. We run back out to her white car and I must admit it did get a lot colder since we were last outside. She blasted the heat and I regretted this tight dress and heels. I felt not myself and I regretted saying yes to this party.

"Were here!" she squealed as we pulled into Hannah's driveway. Her house seemed a lot smaller with all the teenagers crowding around it, I remember me and Julie went over her house over the summer last year for a slumber party and her house was huge.

"Great." I mumbled and stepped out of the car and Julie walked closely behind me. I let Julie step in front of me and she just walked straight into the house. A crowd of people stood closely together which seemed a little uncomfortable, grinding against each other and chugging from small red glasses. I watched Julie grab one of the glasses smile at me then run off to say hello to Hannah. I stood awkwardly and then decided that since nobody else was sober why should I be? I grabbed one of the glasses and took a sniff and it smelled awful but I ignored my better judgement and took a large swig of the bitter drink.

"Hey Cass weird seeing you here." I looked up and noticed Julie's friend Louis. He was adorable and a great friend of Julie, I've only had one other conversation with him and that was when he dropped Julie off at my house drunk.

"Hi Louis." I muttered sipping on more of the drink.

"How have you been?" he asked grabbing a drink.

"Good and yourself?" I smiled and he returned the gesture.

"Good, good." he played with the fluid in his cup and I sipped on mine some more.

"So what exactly are you doing here?" he asked raising an eyebrow and laughing a little.

"I thought..I don't know I thought it'd be fun?" I sipped the drink and my head felt a little lighter and I giggled at my answer.

"Well Cass, I am director of fun." he laughed and poured me more drink.

"Great!" I laughed along with him then he pulled his cup up and I clashed my to his and then we both took sips.

"Errk! What is that?" I stuck my tongue out and closed my eyes and shook my head before reopening them and laughing.

"Sangria." he smiled "don't drink alcohol?"

"Never." I took another sip.

"Then maybe I should.." he reached for my cup and I held it close to me defensively.

"Let me have fun too Lou!" I whined and sipped the red fruity liquid.

"Okay, okay." he shrugged.

"What..what, what are they doing over there?" I slurred and pointed to the people sitting in a circle.

"Uh truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"No..no that's what their playing." He laughed.

"Oh."

"Chug."

"What?"

"You chose dare, so I dare you to chug the rest of that." he nodded satisfied with his dare.

"Okay." I put the red cup to my mouth and swallowed every last drop of the liquid, which burned my throat very little. But relaxed me so I didn't mind. "Your turn." I smirked.

"Alright, truth." he laughed.

"Pussy." I covered my mouth immediately, did I really just say that? To someone I hardly knew?

"Yeah, I guess I am." he laughed and sipped his drink.

"How's Marisa?" Marisa was Louis' girlfriend but from the way he tensed when I said her name, I got the hint they broke up.

"We broke up."

"Ouch. Sorry." I grabbed another cup and sipped it.

"It's whatever." he shrugged "truth or dare?" he grabbed himself more to drink and I giggled.

"Dare."

He nodded and smirked "I dare you to go over to Niall and kiss him." I nearly choked on my sangria.

"You're joking right?" I sipped the drink and stared straight at Louis who had a completely straight face.

"Nope." he popped the 'p' and I felt my cheeks flush.

"Alright." I sipped my drink then handed it to Louis and then gave him a weak smile before making my way towards Niall who was laughing with a beer in his hand.

"Oh hey Cass!" he beamed.

"Hi." I said shyly.

"What's up?" he gave me a confused look and I swallowed my doubt and grabbed Niall's neck and pulled him down towards me and crashed my lips onto his, he snaked his hands around my back and leaned closer into it. I tasted the beer on his breathe and I pulled away after a few seconds.

"Holy shit." he muttered and I bit my lip and smiled before walking back over to Louis who was clapping.

"I didn't think you'd do it." he laughed.

"Me either." I laughed along with him then sipped my drink.

"I can't believe you did it."

"Truth or dare?" it was time for payback.

"Hmm." he thought "dare I guess?"

"I dare you to stand on a table and scream how much you love me." I winked and laughed and he shrugged his shoulders.

"Easy." he laughed and took a swig of his drink before running towards the coffee table. I stood next to the drinks and watched him.

"I LOVE CASSIE SO MUCH!" he shouted over the music "HEY CASSIE I LOVE YOU!" he shouted again and I laughed hysterically. He jumped off the table with a smirk glued to his face and came and stood by me again.

"Truth or dare Cassie." he smiled like he had won the lottery.

"Dare."

"You've got a pair of balls you know that right?"

"Yeah." I laughed and took another sip ready to take on any challenge Louis had to give me.

"I dare you.." he bit his lip and sipped his drink "I dare you to kiss me." I couldn't believe the words came out of his mouth, though they were slurred I understood them.

"Well..?" he smirked. I put my drink on the table Louis closed his eyes and I leaned up and ran my fingers through his hair then softly placed my lips to his. He slowly moved his and I felt his hands grip my back tightly pulling me into him. I pulled away a little and his smile wouldn't go away and I'm sure there was one plastered on my face too.

"Truth or dare." I said pulling away from his grip.

"Dare."

"Give me another drink." I laughed and so did he, he handed me another one and I took it politely.

Best party ever-maybe that's because it's the only party I've been too but it was still pretty freaking great.
