-YOU-

"Aye man, what's up?" Simon greets Phil and they do their handshake.

Simon and Phil laugh slightly after they finish it, and Phil finally looks up and notices you.

Swallowing hard, you smile slightly.

Phil tears his eyes away from yours quickly and walks to the kitchen.
You look down at your hands.

"Hey..." Simon rests his hand on the small of your back. "I know you two aren't in the best shape right now...but maybe this party will fix everything?" he tries to cheer you up.

Looking up at him and shaking your head slightly, you make your way to the bathroom.

-DAN-

Sitting up in my room, I can hear the loud trashy rap music blaring in Simon's house.
I look out my window, and see people in the front yard drinking way more than they're supposed to be.

Rolling my eyes, I sit back on my bed and click the power button on my TV remote. The TV clicks on, and I flip through some channels finally deciding on Adventure Time on Cartoon Network since i'm more of a cartoon kinda guy.

Sighing loudly, I let my arm fall limp and hang over the side of my bed.

-BACK TO YOU-

You can't help but sit on the edge of the bathtub and think about Dan.

What exactly did Simon do to Dan? Did he hurt him bad? When he looked back at you through the window as Simon dragged you back to his house, you thought you could see some blood on his face.
This has been bothering you ever since.
You decide to shake it off, and just try to have a good time at this party. You can just get some more beer and hopefully you'll forget about everything.

Slipping out of the bathroom, you walk into the living room.

Dancing a little bit, you see one of your best friends on the other side of the room.

"Calum!" you call out.

Calum looks up in search of who is calling his name, and you wave your arm in the air so he knows it was you. Smiling, he excuses himself to his friends and walks over to you.

"Hey shortcake." he hugs you, his cologne filling your nose.

"Hey." you smile, staring at him. Your eyes run up and down his body, scanning over his tattoos and his big muscles.

He's wearing a black muscle shirt that has a skeleton hand pointing to him and it says, "I wouldn't trust me either". He's got on black ripped skinny jeans, and black vans. Damn was he hot.

"So you're with Simon now I heard?" he raises his eyebrows.

Simon jumps up behind you, scaring you slightly, and he wraps and arm around you. He pulls you close to him hard, spilling your beer a tiny bit.

"Damn right," he answers for you and looks back up at Calum. "She's a keeper, ain't she?"

"Hell yeah man." Calum laughs and takes a sip of his beer.

Feeling your cheeks turn a light shade of red, you quickly excuse yourself again.

"Um...i'm gonna go get some more beer." you say awkwardly, nodding at Calum then looking up at Simon.
