secret admirer II

"What you're doing is crazy and you know that. Just remember that you are there for yourself and not for him--even though you want to be there for him--no! Stop that." Rose looks at herself in the mirror talking to herself.

She decides to giver herself a little lecture before heading to David's home. He offered to give her a ride and she accepted. "If you see him or his girlfriend or even any of his other so-called-friends, then you just stand straight and walk away." A little smile appears on her face but it instantly fades away. "What am I saying?" 

Taking a seat on her bed, Rose looks out the window to find David outside her house. She was supposed to walk over to his house. Getting up, she heads downstairs opening the door before he could ring the doorbell. He smiles down at her.

"You look great! Are you ready to head out?"

"Yea." 

Both of them head into the car then off to the party. Rose feels butterflies in her stomach then instantly regrets her actions. She would prefer to be at home in bed--probably asleep. But she knows that she would be missing Niall. But there's no time to back out of this now. As they park in front of the house, they're greeted by the one and only Max who walks past them laughing at something said by one of his friends. None of them seemed to of noticed her which makes Rose sigh in relief.

David comes up next to her. "Lets head in." He says leading the way towards the front door.

Rose follows him but takes small steps. Once at the entrance, everyone seems to be talking among one another with a drink in their hand or are dancing in the living room. David takes Roses hand which catches her by surprise and leads her in the kitchen where they stand in front of all the drinks. "What screams out at you, Rose?" He yells over the music.

She looks down at all the alcohol. None of it speaks out to her. It simply reminds her of Niall and how he'll drink until he can barley speak. This worries her. She grabs the bottle of vodka in front of her and stares at it before walking over to the sink and pouring it down the drain. "Rose?" David asks.

Once the bottles empty she leaves it on the counter. "None." She responds before walking away.
