In the Band

Chapter 19

 Chapter 19 Carson P.O.V

“Let’s go,” I took his hand and followed him outside.

His hand was warm, and soft. Our fingers intertwined with each others. My heart rate picked up a bit as we walked down the long driveway together. His features stuck out in the moonlight: his messy brown hair, big brown eyes. He caught me staring at him, and smirked. I looked down trying to hide my now red cheeks.

We walked in a comfortable silence to the end of the long drive way. Ryan then pulled his hood over his head and laid back in the snow. He patted the ground next to him, so I pulled my hood on and laid next to him.

“This is my favorite place at Pete’s townhouse,” he looked up at the clear sky.

“It's so peaceful here,” I turned my face so we were staring at each other.

“Carson, did you know you have five different smiles?” I gave him curious look as he continued, “One when something really makes you laugh, one when you’re laughing out of politeness, one when you’re uncomfortable, one when you are making fun of yourself, and one when… you’re talking about the band.”

A blush rose on my cheeks, and a smile spread across my lips. He moved closer, I was now resting on my elbows. His lips were inches away from touching mine; I could smell a hint of alcohol in his breath.

“Hey Ryan!” a very drunk Pete screamed from the other end of the drive way.

We both groaned and stood up “Hey Pete,” He said looking at the ground and ran his fingers through his already messy hair.

“You finally got her to dance with you!” he slurred “She moved her little hips on you all night!”

Ryan turned around and looked up at the sky. ‘Why?’ he mouthed.  “Dude if you like her so much why didn’t you bring her outside?” Pete asked

“Err… Pete let’s take you back inside,” Ryan said

“Why? I like talking about Carson with you.” Pete said

“No, come on I'll take you inside.”

“Look Ryan! Carson is outside too…” He fell into the snow face first.

“Oh my god! Is he ok?” I screamed, getting on my knees and rolling him over. He had a smug smile on his face and was lightly snoring. I let out a big sigh.

“C’mon lets go back inside,” Ryan picked Pete up and we walked back to the house. He dragged Pete into a bedroom and then came back into the hallway.

“Well that got fucked up,” he murmured to himself, running his fingers through his hair.

It is no wonder why his hair is always messed up he kept running his fingers through it, and also he worked hard at trying to make it looked messed up. He didn’t really need to try I mean his hair was one thing, but his big brown eyes were to die for! Every time he looked at me I felt like he was trying to figure out everything about me. I felt like he wanted to know every detail. I was too caught up staring at him to even notice him waving his hand in my face.

“Carson, oh Carson, stop zoning out,” he sang.

“Oh erm… sorry about that,” I said starting to walk aimlessly around, he opened a door I assumed to was a home theater, because there was a huge television, and DVD’s all around. 

He sat down on the couch “What were you thinking about?”

I couldn’t tell him I was thinking about him and his all together perfect self “Nothing, really it was nothing,” I smiled, starting to feel uncomfortable and awkward.

“Hey, do you want to watch a movie?” he asked noticing my discomfort. “See I told you, you smile when you're uncomfortable.”

“Hey, are you guys watching a movie?” Spencer came into the room.

“Yeah, you want to watch?” I said moving to go look at the DVD’s.

“Yes! He has Spiderman!” I cheered and did a dance “Can we please watch it? Please, please, please!” I tried to give my best puppy dog face.

“Aw, but I wanted to watch superman,” Spencer laughed trying to make me mad.

“Well, it sucks to be you 'cause we are watching Spiderman!” I stuck out my tongue and put the DVD in the player. I went and sat next to Ryan on the couch. Jon and the blond girl came into the room. She introduced herself as ‘Olivia’.  Somehow we both ended up in the middle with Ryan next to me and Jon next to her, and Spencer was next to Jon. The movie started, but not without a comment coming from Olivia every five seconds.

“Why would anyone want to have the powers of a spider?”

“Why would a spider be let lose that has powers and no one tries to find it?”

“Don’t you just think Peter Parker is gorgeous?” 

I smiled, but inside I wanted to just yell at her so much for interrupting Spiderman with her stupid comments. I could hear Ryan starting to chuckle at the fact that I was getting annoyed. I turned and shot him a glare.

“I'm going to get a drink. I'll be back.” There was a hint of snappiness in my voice.

I grabbed a glass of water and walked back. Olivia had herself curled up against Ryan and leaving a spot opened next to Jon. I held the cup tighter till my knuckles turned white, but sat down next to Jon. I don’t know why it bugged me that she was sitting on him like that. I know I definately don’t like the feeling it gave me either. It’s not like I like him or anything it’s just annoyed the crap out of me. I tried to focus on the movie, but my mind just kept going back to Ryan, and the slut.

When the movie finally ended the tension was so thick in the room, and honestly, probably about 50% of it was coming from me. An awkward silence suddenly filled the room, Olivia soon left, and a scream was heard from upstairs. I thought it sounded like Allison and panic started to set in, what if she's hurt? Or worse...someone drugged her and raped her?

I tried to run upstairs, but Ryan held me back, acting like he cared if I got hurt or not. Ugh… he can just be so...I don’t even know the words to describe him as; all I wanted to do was make sure my friend was ok. Spencer soon came downstairs bringing me out of my rant.

“Brendon sounds just like a girl when he screams sometimes,” Spencer said descending the stairs.

I gave a sigh of relief knowing that it wasn’t Allison, Brendon and her later showed up downstairs. Ryan left to check on Pete and thank him for inviting us. We soon left when the cab got here; I got stuck sitting in the car trapped between the window and Ryan.

“I'm sorry about what happened, and I want to explain everything to you if you would please give me a chance,” he whispered

I looked up at him and he gave me a small smile, I nodded my head, and then turned to look outside again.
