Long Gone

Chapter 10

~~Nialls POV~~

"Is everyone ready to go to Ed and Andy's for the party?" Liam asked walking into the kitchen.

"Are the girls coming?" Louis asked next.

"Neither of them are talking to us so I don't know," I answered shrugging my shoulders. 

"Lia said they aren't," Harry answered coming in the room.

"Then let's go," Liam said impatiently.

This party was going to be insane.  The 2 of them throw the wildest parties.  Guaranteed to hook up tonight and looking forward to it.  Just a matter of finding the best one.  Once we got there Zayn, Tommo, and I hit up the drink table.  Harry wondered off into the corner messing around on his phone.  Liam had already found some girl and was out on the dance floor with her. 

"See any potentials for the night?" Lou asked nudging Zayn and winking at me.

"Excuse us," a familiar voice said making us look up to see probably the last 4 people we wanted to run into. 

"Oh um sure," I said stepping to the side as they grabbed some drinks. 

Luke and Calum kept eyeing us and oh if looks could kill we would be 6 ft under already.  My gaze followed them as they left and found their way to a group of 4 girls who were standing on the stairs.  "I found the girl of the night," I announced to them as I grabbed a cup full of who knows what and gulped it down.

"Where?" the two of them asked looking around.  I pointed to the 4 girls and focused all my attention on the tallest one who had blonde hair with dipped turquoise tips. 

She was the hottest girl I'd ever seen.  I drank one more glass of the "liquid courage" before making my way through the crowd towards her.  Just before I got there I seen Calum, Ashton, and Michael wrap their arms around 3 of them.  I was about to freak if Luke would've put his arms around my girl...

'My girl? I don't even know her name yet and I am referring her to as my girl...No way calm your balls you idiot' I said mentally punching myself.  I finally got to her after what seemed like the longest walk ever.  "Hey pretty thing, can I get you a drink?" I said.

"No thanks not old enough yet," she said in an angelic voice.

Oh this was going to be cake.  I could the 4 guys gaze burning through my skin so I hurried to speak getting my attention off them and back onto her.  "So.  Neither am I or half of the others here, but its not stopping us," I chuckled feeling the two cups of alcohol I inhaled a few minutes ago. 

"Alright fine," she agreed making me smile more.

I turned on my heals and as I left I heard groaning and mumbling rom the 4 guys.  They new how I was but I would deny everything to get on her good side and to believe I wasn't like that.  I got 2 cups of the "punch" and dumped a few large extra shots of vodka in each before making my way back.  As I got closer though I seen Whitney and Lia were niw standing there.... Damn. 

"Why are you here?" I snapped as I got back to the growing group.  I handed the glass over to the girl of the night but Whitney snatched it out of my hand before I got it even half way to the fine girl. 

"What do you think you're doing?" Whitney asked.

"Giving the pretty girl a drink," I answered. 

She lifted it to her nose and immediately smelled the extra alcohol I dumped in. 

"Abby stay away from him.  He's no good and a waste of your time," I heard Lia say.

"I'm no good," I semi shouted guzzling down the drink in my hand.

"That's what I said," she retorted glaring at me before turning her attention back to Abby.  "Him an his friends are the reason I have the cast and crutches."

The poor girl, Abby, looked like a lost puppy looking between me and Lia and Whitney.  I was getting more mad by the second with how I was slandered by everyone. 

"He isn't worth your time Abby really.  Just stay away from him.  He only wants you for the night anyways," Whitney said.

That pushed me over the edge.  "Bitch you don't know what you're talking about!!  You're the reason Lia looks like that not us," I yelled.  I turned to Abby and asked, "Care to take a walk?"   I stuck my hand out for her to take.

"Abby don't," Calum and Luke warned. 

"Shut Up assholes," I yelled at them as they stood behind two girls I assumed were their girlfriends. 

"All of you shut up!  I'm old enough to decide what I want to do ok!  Whitney and Lia thank you for informing me of him.  And guys I can handle myself," Abby shouted interrupting our banter.  She looked me in the eyes for a few seconds before stepping towards me. 

My heart skipped a beat as she stared and my knees felt weaker.  What was going on with me? I wondered. 

"Let's go," she stated walking right passed me.

I put my arm back down to my side before turning and following her.  We went to the drink table first ,where Louis and Zayn no longer were, and got a drink. 

"Let's go outside," she suggested and made her way out to the covered patio.  Not many people were out there which was good.  "So I've heard you have quite the history, Niall.  And I know what you do," she said bluntly. 

My eyes went wide as she spoke. 

"And if getting into my pants is what you're after then you can leave now because I'm not THAT GIRL," she said emphasizing 'that girl'.

"I'm not gonna lie I did want to make you the girl of the night," I started.  She stood up and started to walk away but I grabbed her arm to stop her.  I stood up before turning her around to face me.  She was about 6 inches shorter than me so I looked down at her before continuing, "I said I did.  The way you looked at me in there made me change my mind.  I just wanted to talk to you.  Find out why you are different and why you gave me a chance after everything bad you know about me."

The sides of her lips turned up slightly allowing a very tiny smile to show but her eyes showed her smiling fully on the inside.  "You're different and I want to find out how different," I whispered leaning closer to her.  She pulled away a bit and I smiled leaning back up. 

'God I hope I don't treat her how I treat Lia and Whitney' I thought...
