***Hope's P.O.V.***
"Hey, Hope. We should probably start getting ready for the party!" Luna shouted as she entered her room.
I had just taken a nap in her bed after we came back from school.
"Ugh, okay...okay." I groaned still sleepy as I grabbed my bag to get my dress "Who's going to be there anyway?".
"I don't know...hold up, let me check my magic crystal ball...oh wait! I don't have one, sorry about that" she laughed.
"Do you know at least when we're supposed to be there?" I said while putting my dress on, since Luna was already all dressed up.
"In one hour. It starts at 10pm and Nash is going to pick us up." She responded while applying makeup.
"I'm going to ask Henry if he is still going or if he changed his mind." I said grabbing my phone.
"So...Henry huh..." Luna smirked.
"What about him?" I asked confused and deciding not to talk to him.
"Nothing. You have been hanging out with him a lot recently... do I sense a little crush there?" She began to apply makeup in my face after finishing her own - like I asked her before, since I had no idea how to do such magic.
"Of course not! You couldn't be more wrong. We are just friends reconnecting..." I answered.
"You are blushing, you blusher!!" She smirked again as I frowned at her with a glare. "Okay, little ferocious tiger. I wont say a word about him anymore".
"I'm glad you are conscious again" I smiled.
"What about Vince? Is he going?" She asked.
"Probably... he likes that kind of stuff... mostly the drinking part" I shrugged. That was a huge turn off, since I hated everything that had to do with that kind of stuff, but I still had feelings for him no matter what.
***Henry's P.O.V.***
I arrived at the party a few minutes after it had started and there were people already really drunk, like usual.
Girls from all schools and grades came and you could see many of them hooking up with random guys and spilling booze everywhere.
"Hey, Henry" I heard someone shouting from behind me and looked over to see who it was.
"Wow Hope, you look... j-just... wow" I hugged her as she blushed.
"Thanks..." She smiled.
Oh, man... her smile...
"Hold up, I'm gonna say hi to some friends and I'll be right back" I said and walked away as she nodded in response.
When I returned, she was talking to him, the guy that I hated the most: Vince Newman.
They were laughing and he had his hand wrapped around her waist, I watched him say something and lean in as she blushed. I was watching, keeping my distance as he kissed her.
I felt sick and sat in a chair that was standing right next to me for a couple of minutes to process the information while trying to keep the "strong guy" posture.
Later on, Hope came to me excited, telling what had just happened while I pretended not to know anything and keeping a straight face.
"I had no idea he was going to pull off something like this. I mean, it was just a peck but it kinda means something to me... do you think that's silly?" She said, worried.
I had no idea how to react in that moment so I looked over her shoulder and saw Vince hooking up with some random girl. I quickly grabbed Hope's arms forcing her not to look back as she tried to pull away from me but even so she was able to look back.
"Uh... i-is that V-Vince?" I could only see a single tear running down her face.
"I'm sorry Hope, I know how you feel about him. What can I do?" I placed my hand on her back.
"Well..." She, now had an angry expression "you can help me get drunk" I saw her grab a bottle of vodka and pour the liquid into a cup until it was full and drank it all up at once.
"Hope, you shouldn't be so reckless because of this jerk. I can take you home and it will be alright" I said in a comprehensive tone.
She walked away and I was almost losing track of her in the middle of the crowd as she shouted from distance "I don't care anymore".
Eventually, I found her lying on the floor next to the stairs with a different empty bottle.
I grabbed her in my arms, bridal style as she regained consciousness "Henryyy", she said in a drunk voice "you're like a prince charming... it's nice" the girl sniffled like she had been crying.
"Hope, just be quiet and let me take you home" I put her in my car and I took her to my place since I knew her parents were gonna freak out if they found her like that.
When we got home I carried her to my bed and went to the kitchen to give her some water. As I walked into my room I could only see her clothes thrown away all over my room while she already slept.
My first reaction when I saw her like that was to grab one of my large shirts and put it on her so that she wouldn't be so exposed all night.
The next morning she woke me up freaking out and asking me what had happened.
"Well, you saw Vince with some other girl and decided to get drunk like... really drunk..." I ran my hand through my hair.
She placed her hand on her forehead "But how did I end up here and wearing your clothes?".
"I brought you here because I figured your parents wouldn't be pleased to see you like this and you kind of undressed yourself... and I didn't want you to be so exposed so...".
"Oh my god, I feel so embarrassed" She blushed in a way that she had never blushed before and we both laughed.
Oh, her laugh...
Stop Henry.
You cannot have feelings for her...
