It had been two weeks since..me and Hannah. She had been avoiding me, which I guess I knew would happen. Nobody knows about it, I couldn't tell anyone without knowing why she had done it. It could ruin her, she would be known for more then just cheating if I did. I couldn't hurt her.
Just thinking about her gave me butterflies. The way her hair fell across her face, the way her smile made everything seem brighter, and the way she said my name. I could still imagine when she kissed me, even tho I don't know the reason of it, it doesn't mean I didnt enjoy it more then anything else.
"Theo you knew I liked her!", my thoughts were interrupted by Josh shouting.
They were arguing about Sarah. Josh has liked her for months and we had all agreed never to go for the girls we all liked. It was a rule which we had within our friendship.
"Its not my fault she likes me!", Theo shouted as he pushed Josh.
This was were I stood in, it was one thing taking the girl he liked, but hurting him was too far. I stood and towered over Theo, I was much taller then him, and used it to my own advantage. He wouldn't fight me, he wouldn't even push me.
"Enough. Are you two gonna get over yourselves and come to Beth's party?"
They both went silent and nodded.
We didn't really go to many parties, but I had heard that it was meant to be good so I didnt want to miss out. When we got there, let's just say it wasn't just good, it was better then I had honestly expected. There where drinks, music and a lot of people. Maybe even Hannah. I knew she was friends with Beth. Everyone is. Even me, which is a surprise to everyone. Me and Beth met the first year I joined, she was a good friend to me.
"Nick!", I could recognise Beth's voice.
She ran up and hugged me, well more fell onto me. Clearly already drunk.
"Hey Beth. You okay there?"
"I'm great! Have you seen Hannah yet? She's been talking about you", she slurred her words slightly, and winked at me.
I let her go and told her no I hadn't. At least it answers my question of it she was here. I turned around expecting to see Josh and Theo, but they had already disappeared into the crowds. Of course they had, they know I won't drink, so there's no point of me coming but to see some friends. I headed upstairs, I knew Beth would be fine with me being up here. Every room seemed to be filled up but her bed room so I went into there. Being around lots of people isn't something I liked very much, so given the choice I would choose to be away from everyone.
Beths room was hot. Clearly they all got ready in here, there was make-up all over the floor and empty vodka bottles.
"Shots all the way", I mumbled to myself.
I laid on my back on her bed. Why was I even here? I closed my eyes to think.
I was disturbed by a bang on the door, I opened my eyes and saw the clock in front.
01:23 am. I must have fallen asleep. Shit. Before I could sit up the door swung open, two people pressed against each other, mid kiss when they noticed I was there.
"Nick?"
"Hannah?"
Her hair was a mess and she wasn't in her normal school outfit, but i still knew it was her.
"I didn't think you where here.." She stuttered.
The guy stood next to her shuffled slightly, clearly just as drunk as Beth was earlier.
"Yo, bro. Mind getting out? We gotta do something here" he said as he put his arm around her.
I stood up and began to walk out.
"Nick wait", but i kept walking. I knew our kiss meant nothing. After all she had been avoiding me all week.
I pushed my way down the stairs and into the crowds of people. Staying here wasn't something which I wanted. Just as I left I heard Josh. What was he doing? Looking around for him, I saw a crowd of people, in the middle, Josh and Theo. Fighting.
Of course they where, why wouldn't they be? I pushed through into the middle to see Josh hit Theo right in the jaw, but he stood up and hit Josh back just as hard. I jumped in and pushed Theo to the floor.
"What the fuck is going on?" I shouted down at him.
Behind me I could head Sarah helping Josh, making sure he is okay.
"You okay dude?" I said turning round to him
"Yeah I'm fi-" His sentence cut short as I fell to the ground.
I was unconscious on the floor.
