Jack and Luke pick him up at eight, and by half past they were at Adam's house, which was revealed to be less of a house and more of a mansion.

"Have fun you two," Jack says as him and Luke get out.

Luke grins. "We will."

And then the car is gone, leaving an awkward silence between Calum and Luke.

"You didn't tell me Adam lives in a mansion," Calum says conversationally.

"Yeah, it's pretty big," Luke replies.

They don't say anything else until they get inside, crossing the massive and well kept front garden full of half drunk teenagers. Calum reckons Adam is lucky his neighbours live half a mile away because there's no way any of them are over 18.

He notices Ashton in the kitchen talking to that quiffed guy from school and some other people and immediately ducks out of the way.

"Go get me a drink, please," Luke asks, gesturing to the kitchen.

"Go yourself," Calum replies, crossing his arms.

"No need, I got you some drinks," says a third voice of a fairly tall guy that Calum doesn't know. He's got an English accent and quite a bit of stubble.

"Thanks, Liam," Luke says, accepting the drink. Calum does the same with a polite nod.

"The lads are in the kitchen if you wanna chat," he smiles, and then he's gone, talking to this girl with dark brown hair.

"I'll pass," Calum murmurs.

"I second that," Luke adds. They share an awkward look which Calum assumes means they're both asking each other, 'why?'. Luke decides to answer, "It just looks like the party's better in there."

"Really? Sure you don't want to go hang out with your new buddy Ashton?" Calum questions bitterly. He hadn't meant for it to slip out, but he's still pissed at Ashton, and Luke by association. It takes two people to have sex, after all, and both were very willing.

"What?" Luke shoots back defensively. "I don't even like Ashton."

Calum scoffs, rolls his eyes and takes a sip of his drink. He's pretty sure that it's the shadiest thing he's ever done.

"What are you talking about, Cal?"

Calum takes a deep breath to control himself. It's not working.

"Seriously, why are you so sure me and Ashton are suddenly best friends?" Luke wonders, acting innocent.

"You-"

"Hey guys."

It's Ashton. He's got a lazy grin on his face and a half empty cup in his hand. Calum thinks he still looks adorable, despite the fact that he's utterly pissed.

"Hi," Luke murmurs.

"Can I talk to you?" Ashton asks loudly into Luke's ear. He says it far too loudly, considering the fact that the music isn't all that loud.

"No," Luke replies bluntly.

"But we could... yknow," he says, gesturing to Calum. Calum's wondering if he's forgotten that he knows they've already yknow'd.

"You're wasted," Luke comments with a frown.

"Get lost, Ashton," Calum rolls his eyes, pushing past the two of them and into the kitchen where he can mix himself something stronger. He doesn't want to deal with this right now. Or ever.
