Chapter 24

Ashley POV (surprise!)

After Caden took Maria, I got a call from my friend, Missy, asking if I wanted to go to a party with her tonight. Of course I said yes because I would never miss out on a chance to dress nice, well hot. She told me she would be there to pick me up around 9 o'clock.

I began searching through my closet for the perfect outfit. The first thing i grabbed were my black high heels. They were my favorite pair of black heels that I owned. Next, I searched for the perfect dress. After a couple of minutes I found it. I ran back into my room quickly and grabbed my black strapless bra and matching panties. I put them on and then pulled on my dress. The dress hugged all my curves in just the right way. The red fabric was more of a metallic color, but that's what made me buy it in the first place. Lastly, I grabbed a pair of black leggings to put under it since it was colder outside. I looked in the mirror and definitely liked what I saw.

An hour later, I was finished getting ready. I had curled my hair and make up to perfection. I got out my phone and took a few pictures of myself. I have always been very confident in myself and my body even though I was never the most popular girl in school.

I glanced at the clock and saw it was almost 9:15. Well it looks like I'm going to be late. Oh well, Missy is probably waiting for me down staris anyways.

I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. I grabbed my phone off of the charger and shoved it in my bra. Yes, I did just put it there, don't judge me.

Once I reached my front door, I saw a car pulling into the driveway. Huh, Missy must have been running late too. I started walking outside towards the car and saw Missy in the drivers seat just as I had suspected. I hopped in the passenger side and we took off.

"Where is the party?" I asked her.

"Its at Brad Hensly's house."

Brad was the popular "jock" of our school. He always had girls hanging around him no matter what time of day or night it was. He almost always held huge parties at his house when his parents were away, which they were a lot. Brad's house was literally a mansion, about the size of the pack house. No, Brad is not a werewolf though, so he doesn't know what a pack house is.

It took about 20 minutes to get there and the whole way there I was singing at the top of my lungs. We were listening to a mix of country music and pop music.

Oh, oh, hey, oh ooh, ooh

Baby, baby, yeah

Are you listening?

Wondering where you've been all my life

I just started living

Ooh oh, baby

Are you listening?

Oh

When you say you love me

Know I love you more

And when you say you need me

Know I need you more

Boy, I adore you

I adore you

Baby, can ya hear me when I'm crying out for you?

I'm scared, oh, so scared

But when you're near me I feel like I'm standing with an army

A man armed with weapons

Hey, oh

When you say you love me

Know I love you more

And when you say you need me

Know I need you more

Boy, I adore you

I adore you

I love lying next to you

I could do this for eternity

You and me were meant to be in holy matrimony

God knew exactly what he was doing when he led me to you

When you say you love me

Know I love you more (I love you more)

When you say you need me

Know I need you more

Boy, I adore you

I adore you

When you say you love me

Know I love you more

And when you say you need me

Know I need you more

Boy, I adore you

I adore you

(Adore You by Miley Cyrus)

Adore you by Miley Cyrus was blaring in the car as we got near his house. It is my favorite song, so of course I'm extremely loud.

As fast as lightning, we were there. We parked and got out of the car. Missy and I started walking towards Brad's house. I could here the music coming from his house from here. On his lawn there were people making out, chugging beer from a beer keg, and even a couple of people were already passed out.

Once I entered Brad's house, multiple guys were already staring with lust filled eyes. I just ignored them and went on searching for Brad.

I searched his whole house before deciding to go check outside by the pool and hot tub. I walked onto the back patio and looked around. There were people in the pool, fully clothed, and people just hanging out. Over to my left, there were a couple of ping pong tables where a bunch of people were playing beer pong. I spotted Brad playing a round against Tyler Mika. I smiled and started walking over to the ping pong table. This is definitely going to be a fun night.
