I exit the house and make my way to my car. I pull out my keys from my pocket and unlock the doors. "Renae! Wait!" I hear behind me. I continue walking ignoring who ever was behind me. I open the door to the drivers seat and get in as I start the car. The passenger door then opens and in comes Liam. "Liam?" I say with a confused look. "Are you okay?" he asks looking at me with a worried expression. "No, no I'm not okay" I say as I feel a knot in my throat. I look down feeling my eyes getting watery. I wasn't hurt I was mad. Mad at Louis, mad at Zayn, mad at myself. I open the door and get out walking into the house. I see Zayn chatting with a blonde boy. I walk over to Zayn and the boy. Without realizing what I was doing I slap Zayn across the face. I expect to say sorry. What I would have and should have done but no I didn't. "WHAT THE HELL?!" He yells covering his face with his hands. I notice the blonde boy slowly exits the scene. "I DONT EVER WANT YOU TO LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME AGAIN!" I yell and turn away. I can feel everyone staring at me and talking but I honestly didn't care. I walk out of the house and towards my car. "Where did you go?" Liam asks as he gets out of the car. I turn off the car and lock the doors as I get out. I put the keys in my pocket and look at Liam. "Just nothing..lets go party" I say and wink. He chuckles and we walk into the house.

As we both walk into the house several eyes are on me. "Why are people staring?" Liam whispers as he looks around. "Ignore it" I say and grab ahold of his hand. "What are you doing?" he asks looking at me with a cocked eyebrow. "Come on let's dance!" I say and pull him to the crowd that was dancing. I pull him close to me and keep our body's in contact. "Do you want anything to drink?" Liam asks. "What?! I can't hear you!" I shout and laugh. "Do you want me to get you a drink?" he says into my ear and chuckles. "Sure, just not alcohol" I say and smile. "Alright, I'll be right back" he says and winks at me. Man was he attractive. I make my way to the couch and sit down. There's a tall wavy haired boy and a short pretty girl on the other couch in front of me. I assume they're a couple because he's leaning on her chest as she's playing with his hair. I catch myself starting and look away. They both look at me now and it begins to get awkward. "I'm sorry" I say and start to get up. "No it's fine!" the girl says and smiles. "I'm Jerusha" she says and hands out her hand. I smile and shake it. "I'm Renae" I say. "I'm Harry..what you did there earlier to Zayn, boy was that funny" he grins and chuckles to himself. I pull a fake smile and chuckle. "You know I'm going to go so see you around!" I say and walk away into the crowded dance floor again. Someone taps my shoulder as I turn around and see Liam. "Here" he hands me a drink and smiles. "What is this?" I say and take a sip. It was actually good whatever it was. "Pineapple juice" he says and smirks. "And?" I say smirking back. "Some Malibu" he says and puts his arms around my waist. I take another drink and look at him. "I thought I told you no alcohol" I say and roll my eyes. "I don't always follow rules" he says and leans his head on my shoulder. I look at him and chuckle "It's pretty good actually". "I know" he says as he lets go of me and grabs ahold of my hand. "Where are we going?!" I ask taking another drink of my beverage. "You'll see!" he says as he makes his way through the crowd still holding my hand and out into the back yard. I see Zayn in the distance, we make eye contact but I ignore him and follow Liam up the stairs to the balcony. We reach the balcony and take a seat on the outdoor couch. He puts his arm around me and moves closer to me. "Did you finish your drink?" he asks taking the cup from my hand. "There's still some left..want it?" I ask and hand him the cup. "Sure, why not" he says and grins as he takes a drink. He finishes it and puts it on the coffee table. "Kiss me" I say without realizing what I said. "What?" he says and cocks an eyebrow. Why did I say that. I look down. "Nothing" I say and shake my head. As I thought it would be awkward Liam lifts up my chin and leans in for a kiss. I kiss him back and feel hundreds of fireworks exploding inside of me. His hands move to my jawline holding my face perfectly. I move my hands around his neck as he continues kissing me. His body shifts closer to mine as I do the same. "What the hell?!" I hear breaking our kiss. I look to see who is it and it's Zayn standing by the stairs. I sit up quickly but not losing Liam's touch. "What do you mean?" Liam asks getting up. "Now I know why you don't want me around!" Zayn yells and walks away. Great, so now I'm the bad guy.
