Chapter 36

LOUIS' POV

"Hey guess who I saw in town?" Calum asked as he walked through the front door. "who?" Michael asked. "Zayn" Calum replied. "Zayn? I haven't seen him in forever" luke said. "ya, actually he's coming to the party tonight. probably because I told him Perrie's coming." Calum said. "who's Perrie?" I asked. "his girl" Ashton answered. I looked down at my shoes and sighed. "what is it?" Ashton asked, noticing my actions. "I have a girl too, Jess, and I left without telling her" I said. I looked up at them, noticing their silence. their eyes had tinted multiple shades darker. "Guys?" I asked. A knock at the door brought the guys attention back. before I knew it, the house was filled with lots of people an loud music was blaring through the speakers.

JESS' POV

We walked up to the large house. loud music was playing. "be careful, and do not, i repeat do not, go anywhere alone with anyone unless it's me, each other, or Louis" Zayn instructed. Kendal and I nodded in reply. Zayn's eyes lit up as he looked into the crowd. "i'll be back, remember what I said" Zayn said walking away. Kendal and I looked at each other then went into the kitchen. "you want a drink?" someone said holding a cup. "no thank you" I replied. I looked past the guy and I saw A familiar figure. "Kendal, it's Louis" I smiled. I pushed past the crowd, leaving Kendal behind.

KENDAL'S POV

"But Jess," I said as she scurried off into the crowd. I decided to look around for Zayn. Someone bumped into me. "Watch it!" They said. "sorry" I mumbled and kept walking. suddenly a hand grabbed my arm. "sorry about that, I thought you were someone else" the guy apologized. "its fine, really" I said, keeping my head down. "I would love to see your face," he said, lifting my chin up. "beautiful" he smiled. "I'm Luke by the way" he said. "Kendal," I replied. "I need to go, I'm trying to find someone" I continued, attempting to pull away from his grasp. "can't you stay a little longer? spare me a dance at least?" he asked. "I can't sorry" I replied. Suddenly a hand touched my shoulder. "there you are, where's Jess?" Zayn asked, a blond girl standing next to him. "She went to find Louis," I explained. "Luke," Zayn said, noticing his grip on my arm. "Zayn buddy, how are ya?" luke smiled. "let go of her, she's with me, and she's taken, so hands off" Zayn warned. "wait, did you say Jess?" luke said, his face full of realization. "ya" Zayn replied. "she's with Louis right?" luke asked. "yes" Zayn said. Without another word, Luke dashed into the large crowd.

JESS' POV

There he was. Louis was right in front of me. "Louis?" I called. someone stepped in front of me, blocking my view. "hey there" he smiled. "hi," I said. "I'm Ashton, who are you?" he said. "I'm Jess," I replied."I've never seen you here before," he said. "ya, I don't usually come to these things" I explained. "oh. well you should, I'm always here" he smirked. "I'm just looking for someone" I said, trying to look past him. "I think I know who you're talking about, follow me" he said.

"be careful, and do not, i repeat do not, go anywhere alone with anyone unless it's me, each other, or Louis"

Zayn's warning flashed through my mind.

"I can't-" Ashton grabbed my hand and pulled me away from the crowd, cutting me off.

"Where is he?" I asked as we entered a room. "I don't know what your talking about" he smirked. "then why did you- I got to go" I said, making a break to the door, but he grabbed my waist, pulling me back, and locking the door. "leaving so soon? I don't think so" he growled. he pushed me against the wall and trapped my wrists with his hands, smashing his lips to mine. I attempted to pull away but him grip was just to strong. "c'mon, have fun, don't be a party pooper" he whined.

"Ashton stop!" Someone said, kicking the door open. "Luke, stay out of it!" Ashton snapped. "Ash, she's with-" "jess!?" Louis said running into the room, cutting luke off. I ran to Louis and he wrapped protective arms around me. "don't ever do that to me again, please" I begged him. "I won't, I promise, i'll never leave you again" Louis said.
