chapter 22

•Renae's POV•

I slowly open my eyes and stretch in my bed. I grab my phone from my night stand and check my twitter and Instagram. Everyone was talking about Ginnet's party on twitter. I honestly couldn't wait to go. I get up from my bed and walk out of my room and make my way downstairs into the kitchen where my mom was...always. "Hey there" she says while she flips a pancake. "Hey" I say and grab a piece of bacon and put it into my mouth. "I can still go to Ginnet's party right?" I ask praying she'll say yes. "Yes, but I want you to be responsible and not be stupid" she says and looks at me seriously. "Okay, I know! I know!" I say and walk out of the kitchen. As I walk upstairs I run into my dad. "What party?" he asks. "Ginnet's, I told you about it last night" I say and slowly start to walk back up the stairs. "Oh right.." he says and walks away. I continue walking upstairs and make my way to my room. I open my curtains to the balcony and look outside. My phone starts vibrating and I see that it's Zayn. "Hello?" I answer as I throw myself on my bed. "Hey, are you going to the party tonight?" he asks. "Yeah...you're going?" I answer back getting up and walking to my desk where my H&M and Brandy Melville bags were. "Yeah aha.." I hear him say as it gets awkward. "How are you feeling?" I ask and pull out my flannel and crop top. "Better" he says. I can't stand the awkwardness anymore so I tell him I have to go and hang up. Today's going to be a long day!

I put my high waisted shorts on and then my white crop top. My phone vibrates with a text from Liam, "Do you need a ride?"

"No, I'm fine thanks :)" I answered back and set it down on my bed. I then grabbed my flannel and tied it around my waist. I put on my high top all black converse and enter the bathroom in my room. I turn on my curling iron and open my makeup box as I start to pull out the cosmetics I would use. I glanced at the clock, 6:40. I was planning to go at 8 if I got ready in time. I continued getting ready and kept an eye on the clock.

I grabbed my phone and some money and put it in my pocket as I made my way out of my room and into my parents room. "I'm going to be heading out" I say as I look at my mom. "Okay, just please think before you do Renae" she says and walks up to me as she kisses my cheek "have fun" she finishes. "I will don't worry, and thanks" I say and start to walk down the stairs. "Where's dad?" I ask turning back to my mom. "He went to go get pizza, don't worry about it just go ahead and go" my mom says and winks. "Okay! bye!" I say and walk out the front door. I walk towards my car and get in. I turn the car on and plug in my phone into the aux cable and play Pandora. I put the Club/Dance radio to get into the party mood I guess? I pull out of my driveway and drive down the street. I turn to the other street and speed up down the long street to Ginnet's house. I stop at the red light and continue on down the street as I turn onto 10th street and make my way to Ginnet's house. As I drive into her driveway and park more and more people are coming. I turn off my radio and unplug my phone as I open the door and get out. I close it and walk to the fence that leads to her backyard the music blasting and people laughing. Lets make this a good night.

"Renae!" Ginnet says as she makes her way towards me. "Hey!" I say and give her a hug. Someone else grabs ahold of my wrist and spins me around. "JENNY!" I say and hug her tight. "It feels as if I haven't seen you for the longest time!" I say and laugh. "I know! It's about time we hang out!" She says and chuckles. I then hear someone shouting my name and see it's Vanessa. "Vanessa!!!!!" I say and run up to her. "How are you?! Oh my gosh Renae!" Vanessa says already with some news. "I'm good! WHAT!" I say and chuckle. "So I'm talking to this boy! He's coming to the party! I'll introduce him to you" she says and smiles. "Alright!" I say and playfully wink at her.

As the night goes on more and more people come and the party seems to get crazier.

As I walk to the bathroom I bump into someone "Oh I'm so-" I look up and see its Zayn. "Renae?!" he says and looks confused. "ZAYN!" I say and jump on him hugging him. "Woah, I saw you like yesterday! Everything alright?" he asks and chuckles. "I'm good! I just didn't know you were coming to the party" I say and get off him chuckling. "So what's up?" he says as we start to walk outside. "Actually I was looking for Vanessa" I say and look around the area. "Oh, she's a friend of yours?" he asks. "Yeah" I say and laugh a little. "Renae!" Zayn says and grabs ahold of my wrist. The touch so familiar yet it has a different effect on me. "What?" I say and turn towards him. "Is that Vanessa?" he asks. I see her with a boy as they laugh together. "Yeah!" I say and walk into the kitchen where I spotted her. Zayn stays close and follows me. "Renae!" Vanessa says and smiled. "Hey Vanessa" I say and see she's with a boy...the guy who had punched Zayn. "This is Louis" she says and it suddenly becomes awkward. "I'll be right back" Zayn says and makes his way out of the kitchen. Louis puts his arm around Vanessa and smiles at me as if he has never done anything wrong. I've had enough. I roll my eyes and turn around as I make my way to find Zayn. I feel someone grab my wrist as I turn and see Louis. "What do you want? Want me to just go ahead and get into your trunk?! So you can drop me off somewhere and leave me there!" I raised my voice. "Shut up!" he said and rolled his eyes. "Then what the hell do you want?! Is that all you can say?! Shut up?" I say and roll my eyes. I noticed we were attracting a crowd. I walk towards Louis and push him as hard as I can "Well?!" I say. He gets up but I push him harder. "STOP RENAE!" Louis screams. I chuckle and roll my eyes. "WHY SHOULD I?! THIS ISNT EVEN CLOSE TO HOW I FELT EVERY TIME YOU WOULD TAKE ME OR STALK ME! HOW MANY TIMES DID I PUSH YOU? TWICE! HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN BOTHERING ME?! ALMOST FOR TWO MONTHS!" I scream. I notice everyone is staring. "AND WHAT ABOUT ZAYN?! HE DOESNT GET CRAP?!" Louis screams at me. "YOURE THE ONE WHO STARTED THIS! ZAYN HAD NO CHOICE!" I say as I stare at him seriously. "OH BULL CRAP! DONT EVEN START COVERING UP FOR ZAYN!" He yells and looks around him. "WHO SAID I WAS COVERING UP FOR ZAYN?" I scream at him moving closer to him. "YOU ARE! IT DOESNT MATTER WHO STARTED IT WE BOTH ARE AT FAULT FOR BOTHERING YOU! ZAYN DOESNT DESERVE YOU! DONT FALL FOR HIM!" He yells and looks down. "Who said I was falling for him?! You should really get out of my business and stay away from Vanessa!" My voice calming down but still raised. "I'm not going to stay away from Vanessa because I didn't hurt her! I hurt you! Heck stop trying to tell me what I can and can't do!" he says with his voice still risen. I walk towards him and push him and make my way through the crowd. "Renae!" Zayn gets ahold of my wrist as he pulls me to him. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" I scream and push him away. I just wanted to get away from them, away from here, away from my life. What did I do to make all this happen?
