Half A Heart // Harry Styles

- Chapter Two

We walked to the large living room, where most of the teenagers were having the most fun. I felt as if I didn't belong here. I sat next to Nicole, gazing my eyes around the house. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the night, everyone but me. 

"Here." Nicole handed me a plastic cup filled with some kind of strong licquor. The smell of it made me cringe of how strong it was. "W-what is this?" I stuttered, looking at the plastic cup that was now in my hand. "It's tequila. Don't worry it's not that bad." She replied, sipping from her own cup. Looking at how drunk these teenagers are, I'm pretty sure it is bad. I've never tried it before. "Have a sip." She said. I looked down to the cup in my hand. "N-no Thanks." I stuttered. 

"Sophia, A little bit won't hurt you.." I looked up at Nicole and everyone who was staring at both of us. I've never drank alcohol before, and I planned on never drinking it. But I guess there's a first time for everything, right? I took just a little sip from the cup. As soon as the strong licquor hit my toungue I cringed at its taste. Nicole stared at how I cringed and laughed to herself. "That happens at first, You'll get used to the taste." She said. 

The party had become busier as the night drew on, the house barely containing the numerous intoxicated teenegers. Everyone dancing and having a good time. 

"Let's dance!" An intoxicated Nicole said. She's been drinking shot after shot nonstop. I still had the cup, that I just took one sip from, in my hand. Nicole stood up, looking at me, waiting for a response. "I'm good." I replied. "What a party pooper!" She said and dragged herself onto the dance floor. I turned around trying to see if I could find the bathroom anywhere, but the only thing I found was these green eyes staring intensely at me. It frightened me.

  "Want another shot?" Olivia asked me. She was really intoxicated by now. She's been drinking nonstop. Thank god I'm the one driving them. Out of all the people in the group of girls at our table me and Olivia where the only one's sitting down. Olivia seemed to be falling asleep, and it's barely the beginning of the night. 

"Sophia, Why don't you go dance?" She said with sleepy eyes. "I..Uh, I'm good here.." I replied. But it was no use, she had her eyes shut before I could finish my sentence. "Olivia!" I nudged her with my elbow. She fluttered her eyes open, trying to stay awake. "What?" She said, sitting up straight. "Please stay awake. Or you want me to take you home?" I asked her. "No, I'm alright! You sit back down and enjoy the night!" She smiled, forcing me back into my seat.

The time flew by fast, and I really needed to use the toilet. I crossed my legs, trying to hold it in. I searched for the bathroom, trying not to find those eyes again. "Do you know where the toilets are?" I asked Olivia. She spun her head around, trying to find a bathroom.  

I looked to the direction that Olivia looked in, and there they where. Those eyes, staring at me. His stare was so intense it send shivers up my spine. "Nevermind, I think I can hold it in for a couple more hours." I told Olivia. Who is that boy? Why is it that everytime I turn somewhere, he's staring at me? 

"You sure?" She asked.

"Yeah." 

I think I probably should leave and never find him. But I knew if I left Nicole and Olivia here, they'll be mad at me for the rest of my life. Trust me, Nicole and Olivia would probably never talk to me ever again. 

I stood up trying to hold it in , but it only made it worse. 

"The bathroom is that way, darling." Olivia pointed to the corner of the house. I looked to where she was ponting and there he was, once again. His smile lit up his face, green eyes sparkling at me. My nervous eyes travelled up the length of his body,  my fingers grasping on to the cup I had in my hand a little tighter..  His jean hung perfectly to his lower half, a white t-shirt adorning his torso.
