Chapter 34

~Avril's POV~

The party was in full swing at this time. Some people were drunk, others were tipsy, including me and Beau.

I was having an awesome time. This must've been one of the biggest parties that the guys have thrown. And trust me, they throw pretty big parties. Some people i don't even know showed up. But what the hell. More fun with more people.

It was pretty late now, around 11. Only one more hour till 2014! That means we're getting closer and closer to our North American tour. I'm still buzzing with excitement for that. I kinda wish this night would hurry along so the tour could start soon.

The music was blaring loudly. One of my favourite songs, 3005 by Childish Gambino, was playing.

I was dancing with Beau having a really awesome time. Though i won't lie, once in a while i snuck glances over to Louis. I don't really know why! i'm fucking pissed off at him!

I thought telling Beau would probably set my mind off Louis for a while. Or maybe even forever. But I was wrong.

For some reason, my mind keeps wandering off to thoughts of Louis and i end up looking at him. It's really weird, but i can't help it.

And while i danced with Beau, he just stayed in the same corner drinking his beer as he stared at us. The jealousy in his eyes were evident. I think anyone would be able to notice it.

Especially since he was gripping his beer bottle so tight i thought it would break. And the way he was shooting daggers into Beau's head made him look deadly. Like he could actually murder him.

"Hey, Av. There's someone who wants to see you again" Dylan said as he made his way over.

"Who?" I asked. Without an answer he brought the familiar person over. i gasped. "JAMESY!" I screamed happily jumping up to hug him, completely forgetting about Beau. My arms and legs were wrapped around him tightly.

What? i haven't seen James in forever. Don't judge me. If you haven't seen one of your best friends in a long while you would act the same. Don't lie. You know you will.

(A/N: don't remember him? he's the cop she had a FWB with in book 1)

"Hey, Avril. It's been too long" he said putting me down. "Wow, you've really grown" he said looking me up and down. I must've grown about an inch, maybe more, since he's last seen me.

"So did you. I see you've been working out. Oh... and is that grey hair i see?" i teased. He hates when people say things like that.

He always panics about aging and how he doesn't want to look old. Which i don't get at all since he's in his twenties. He's still pretty young. It's always fun to tease him about it because he takes it so seriously.

"What? where?" his hands flew to his hair and i began laughing. He only glared at me. "Haha very funny" he said sarcastically.

"Lighten up. I'm only having fun" i laughed lightly punching his shoulder.

"So how's my favourite little rebel?" he asked me.

"I have a boyfriend now!" i said happily.

"Really? i thought you weren't gonna date again after Ma-"

"Yeah well i decided why not" i said. Markus is still a very touchy subject for me. It's not something i really enjoy talking about. James simply nodded.

"Beau, c'mere" i said dragging Beau over. "Beau. This is James my favourite cop ever! James this is my amazingly awesome boyfriend Beau" i smiled, kissing Beau's cheek.
