And Who Are You? e.d.

"Chug! Chug! Chug!" -12

Devin and I walk into the party, his arm wrapped around my shoulder. We get a few stares but I brush it off. I look up at Devin to see him cheesin'. It makes me smile too.

"You want a drink?" He asks and I nod.

"Alright, what do you want it mixed with?"

"Nothing mixed, I want straight Jack tonight." I say and he raises an eyebrow.

He doesn't question it and walks away, going to get our drinks.

I quickly spot Julia while looking out at the group of people, and immediately dodge her line of view. I walk to the kitchen, in attempt to find Devin.

I walk in to see some girls' arm wrapped around Devin's waist, and her head tucked into his neck.

I nod my head slowly and shrug my shoulders. Looks like I'm on my own tonight.

ETHAN'S POV

"But if you'll excuse me, I have a party to attend." Zoë says, as she gets out of my car.

And I just sit there. Sit there as the most beautiful girl in the world leaves my grasp. Sit there as I lose the best thing that's ever happened to me. I watch her walk toward the end of the street, and stop at the street signs. I watch her for a few minutes, unable to understand why I did what I did. Finally I see Devin's white car pull into view. She gets inside and they pull away, her growing farther and farther from me each second.

That's when I realize that I have to go to that party too. The boys and I were supposed to go already, but I'm going to get my girl back. I have to get her back. She's all I've been thinking about and I don't know how to stop it. I don't want to stop it. I pull off back onto the road and head toward the party.

A few minutes later, I pull up outside of the house flashing with colors and shadows of bodies moving on the inside. From inside the car you can hear the music. Luckily, she lives on the outskirts of town, so she doesn't have to worry about neighbors. I get out of my car, and walk up to the house. I say hey to a few people who say hi to me. I begin to look around for Zoë, but she's nowhere to be seen. I even asked a few people. They gave me a few weird looks, but I couldn't care less. I spot Julia, and if she were to know where someone is, it'd be her. 

I walk up to her, "Do you know where Zoë is?"

She spits out her drink in surprise. "What? You mean you're looking for the girl who won't leave you alone? Gonna tell her off?"

"You can watch what I'm gonna say, but just tell me where she is."

She points over to the kegs. "This'll be good."

I hear people chanting as we walk over. "Chug! Chug! Chug!" 

I finally see Zoë at the kegs, chugging the beer.

"Zoë!" I yell and she stops.

She gets let down and she looks over at me. Everyone looks over at me.

She laughs, she's drunk. "Wha-what do you want, Dolaaaaaan?"

"You." I say and literally everyone gasps. 

Her eyes become wide but then she returns to her normal, drunk self. "Yeah, sure. You just want to play me."

"I'm completely serious." I say, straight faced.

"Oh yeah? Is that why you're embarrassed of me?" Her eyes start to water up.

I shake my head and then climb up on the table. "Can I have everyone's attention, please?"

Everyone turns around to look at me. "I want Zoë. She's warm, and she's kind and she's caring, and she's selfless and it's real. Honestly, when I'm around her I completely forget what I am. I don't care who knows. I know that she's all that I want."

I look down at her and I see a single tear slip from her cheek. I step off the table and back down to her. I take her hands, but as soon as I do, she rips them away from me.

"No." She says, looking down at the ground. 

I step up to her and tuck a piece of her hair behind her ear. "Zoë, please."

"Do not." She says, slightly shoving me away from her as she turns around and basically runs out of the place.

ZOË'S POV

I wake up the next morning, feeling completely drained. It might be from the hangover, might be from Ethan. Turns out, Devin was wrong in having no school today. I think maybe he assumed that since there was a party last night that there wasn't school today. I look over at my clock and there's two minutes until school starts. Of freaking course. I reluctantly get out of bed, going to the shower. A few minutes later I get a text so I finish in the shower and go check my phone.

V: thought i should tell you, i'll be at your house around 3.
Z: You're kidding.

Great, just what I need. I mean, she is my old best friend but I just need to be by myself for awhile. I throw on Soffe shorts, a sport shirt and a pair of Birkenstocks. I grab my glasses and head out the door.

A few minutes later, I'm rushing into the front doors of the school. The halls are empty due to everyone being in class. I run to my first period class and bust in the door. I don't mean to open the door so hard, but everyone turns to look at me. I can feel Ethan's eyes on me, but I don't look at him.

"Well, welcome to class Miss Richardson. Since you're already up, you can read your paper first."

AN: Okay so a litttttlllee later than I thought, but hey!! I ACTUALLY UPDATED
