Unexpected

Chapter 8

"Wow" is all I managed to say. Once I got back from the I went straight up stairs to get changed, I was running a little late and could already here the party starting so I decided to run back down the stairs not quite ready because it was only 7:30 not many people would he here.

Oh how I was wrong.

The place was thumping.

You couldn't see the floor for the swarm of bodies all dancing or talking or laughing or singing aloud. It was like an american party in my dreams, you see I don't go to many parties the only ones I've been to are the ones with 10 people tops and more adults than teens. This? This is nothing like this.

This. Is. Amazing.

I see a group of girls-by the window, of the living room- from the year above all dancing around to their favourite song, already drunk and merry.

I turn and see a group of boys I know, think they are football players at our school. I also see lots of uni students and friends of the boys. None of my friends are here, of course. With the short notice and that we don't get thought of at parties they had no chance.

In this one alone I guess.

I walk towards the kitchen to get myself a drink.

"Stacey?" A girl calls. I turn round to here the voice and my heart drops. It's Jenna's friend Laura. She's going to kill me for even being here. She walks over to me with a smirk on her face.

"What are you going here?" she questions.

"The boys invited me and well I do live here" her mouth fell, if it wasn't for her super pushed up boobs her mouth would've probably fell on the floor.

"Well I heard that none of them actually like you and you're all alone with no one" she says to me in a matter of fact tone very fast.

I'm about to reply but the words are taken out my mouth.

"What are you on about Laura, we all love Stacey" Owen says from behind me, grabbing me into a tight hug and kissing my forehead.

"Now if you're here to terrorise my little sister, then you can follow your friend Jenna out the door and down the street, cause she unlike Stacey really isn't wanted here"

He them grabs me by the waist and pulls me away from her.

"Anymore bother from her and tell us boys, ok?" He shouts loud enough for her to hear.

"Ok, that's Owen" I smile.

"Just call be bro" he smiles then laughs at his own unfunny joke.

"Alright then Owen, you seem drunk" I smile.

"And you seem sober" he slurs grabbing my hand and taking me further into the kitchen grabbing me a big bottle of piña colada and a straw.

"Drink up!" He cheers. "Didn't think you'd be the beer can type" he smiles and walks away.

"Oh and Stace? Someone looking for you" he winks and walks away back into the crowd.

Wait, who?

"Owen?" I shout questioningly.

"Stacey" someone shouts at the same time at Owen. Owen turns round at my voice sees the person that has shouted on me before I get a chance, he smiles brightly and ignores my shout on him and walks on.

I turn round.

It's Aidan.

My stomach twists, my heart flutters and a smile creeps on my face.

"Hey Bella! I've been looking for ya" he says, his Australian accent over powering the music. I can see a few girls eying him up.

He walks over to me and grabs hand before dragging me outside, whilst explaining he has something to give me.

When we are outside the fresh air hits me like a ton of bricks. Even though it is summer. It is also Scotland. It's practically freezing. I start to shiver, uncontrollably may I add.

Before I had time to protest Aidan unzips his hoodie and puts it round my shoulders. I blush realising this is the build up to a cute story of a film. Wouldn't mind a kiss at the end of this.

"I got you something" he beams. He leans over to me and grabs the pocket inside his hoodie and pulls out an old tattered book.

"The Catcher In The Rye" he reads aloud, "this book is the best book you'll ever read, I love it, one of the classics and personally my favourite" he hands me the book.

"And has never been made into an awful film. Author wouldn't allow it" he smiles at me. "Unlike "I Am Shity number 4"" he says.

I didn't have the heart to tell him I've already read it, twice because it's one of my favourites too, so all I do is smile at him and tell him how much i appreciate it.

I pick up my bottle of piña colada and take another big sip.

"I better go put this in my room, i don't want it to get wet or worse, be in the hands of a film maker" I tease.

"That happens the end of the world will be near" he says with a straight face, then we both burst out laughing and head back into the party.

The kitchen is not more crowed and it's harder to manoeuvre around everyone. Aidan ends up in front of me so just grabs my hand and drags me along behind him. When we get to the living room it's even worse.

"Go upstairs so I can put this in my room" I shout, we walk up the stairs and dodge around everyone in our path. This is all with Aidan still holding my hand. I finally take lead and pull him through the crowds of people to my room.

When I open the door I let out a small gasp as I see two boys and a girl basically having a threesome. What the actual fuck. I'm going to be sick. The terrible part is that I recognise all of them.

Aidan steps on the door beside me and lets out a laugh.

"This isn't funny" I whisper to him. I just stand there for a second until he claps his hands causing me to jump and all of them to jump.

"Leave this ladies room immediately" he orders. The girl looks like a tomato but never the less picks up her clothes round about her but still manages to wink at Aidan, but all he does is clasp hold of my hand again, which causes the girl to finally look at me and gasp.

"I know you!" She says "you're that loner"

"I know you too!" I beam. "You're that slut who's still in my bedroom!" She scowls at me and walks out the room still half undressed following the two boys to the next room.

"Are you always so mean Bella? It's ruining the name" he smiles at me and drops my hand which I'm pretty annoyed by but don't show it.

"Nice room Bella, didn't put you down as a plain sort of girl" he says whilst sitting down on my bed and laughing.
