The substitute

Chapter 10

I finally get home and I realise what I got myself into,and tonight will be the worst night of my life. I check my phone for any messages from Nate and sadly there isn't any messages from Nate, but there is one from Maria.

* I'm so happy your coming to the party!!! I'll try to be by your side the whole night and Niall is going to pick you up at seven.

* you don't have to be by my side the whole time you can fun

If I want to get through this night I'll just sit down on a couch or something, and I'll be texting Nate the whole time or maybe I'll just lock myself in the bathroom. Whatever happens I can not interact with people especially Roxy.

*i want you to have a good time too!

*okay I'll try

*good and I'll make sure you don't lock yourself in the bathroom!

How did she... She must be really reading my mind or something there goes plan A, I text her my address and she texts me back saying that she'll text Niall my address.I check the time and it's already six, perfect I have an hour to get ready. Oh wait! What about my mom she will surely find out that I went to a party, and she doesn't have her late shift today! Maybe I should just tell Maria that I can't go, but I know if I do that Roxy will annoy me about it.

I see my mom in the kitchen "hey mom." I tell her in my sweetest voice I need to say a lie, but honestly I don't know what to say "hello Zooey." She says with annoyance clear in her voice why is she always annoyed? "Do you have a late shift today?" I ask her maybe she does have a late shift today "No Zooey, but I do have a meeting with my boss." The thousand pound of worry has been lifted off my shoulders "today?" I ask her I just need to hear her confirm it "yes today." She huffs "what time?" I ask her I hope it's like now "six thirty." She says "which is now" she says running out of the door. What? It's six thirty all ready? I run into the bathroom and decide to curl my hair it's way more faster and easier plus my hair is already curly so if I miss a spot it'll still be curly.

I quickly run into my room and decide if I should wear a dress or not, dresses aren't really my thing but neither are parties. I decide to wear a blue sleeveless dress that hits just below my knees, but when I wear this dress I feel so naked so I wear a white jacket over it. I look at the time and it's six forty five I relax a little knowing I'm not late so I go into the bathroom and stare at my moms eye liner, it's only a one time thing I mean it's a party I bet every girl is going to wear makeup. I grab the eye liner and make the thinnest line right under my eye, I'm not sure if I should make the line a little thicker but I decide against it.

I get a text from Maria saying that she's outside, I quickly opened the door and walked out of my house. I remembered that's the car I saw blasting the same loud music when I was walking to my first internship and hear I am inside it. "Hi! I'm so glad you could make it!" Maria says, hugging me "ya me too." I say smiling at her, I see Roxy whisper something to Harry making him look at me and laugh, I roll my eyes at him this is going to be a long night. "You look really nice Zoe." Zayn tells me "thank you, you also look really nice." He's wearing a red v-neck with black loose jeans, Roxy turns around and looks at my dress man I hate her "nice dress." She says sarcastically Louis mouths to me "just ignore her." And I nod back at him

We finally make it to the club, I get out of the car and wait for Maria to get out. "You ready?" She asks I shake my head 'no' "oh don't be scared just follow me okay?" I nod my head and follow her inside. If only she knew what happened, I feel like I'm copying my dad's mistake, no I'm not copying him because he drank in this club and I'm not drinking. Maria started walking toward a couch where of course I see everyone, I sit on the end of the couch trying to make as much space I can make between me and Roxy. "Having fun?" Zayn asks me "um sure." I lie I just came here. I hear him laugh "so is this your first party?" He asks "yup pretty much."

"Ya I'm not really a party person either." He tells me, wow that's kind of surprising

"Really?" I ask him full of surprise

"Ya I just go cause my friends go and I also end up driving them back."

" but aren't you guys a little young to be drinking?" I ask him I have a feeling none of them are 21 or older

"Fake ID's." He explains

"So are you the only one who doesn't drink?" If he doesn't drink then maybe the others don't drink too.

"Oh I do drink I just don't drink as much as anybody else, but I'm pretty sure Harry doesn't drink." Wait what? Harry doesn't drink? I'm sure he's joking or something

"Your kidding right?" I ask him

"No I'm not he just comes so he can have sex with girls and I'm guessing it's Roxy's turn." Harry is disgusting just thinking about him makes my stomach turn.

"He's disgusting." I tell him and he nods in agreement

"Hey.... Z-Zoe." Maria slurs

"Um hi Marie." I don't really know how to react to drunk people every time when my dad came home drunk I'd go into my room and lock the door.

"Do you... Do you want to dance?" She asks me

"Oh no thank you, why don't you rest a little while." I tell her

"I will rest only if you dance with me." She pouts

I sigh in defeat "okay fine."

"Okay f-follow me." She stutters

She takes me to the middle of the dance floor and we start moving with the music.

"D-Do you like Zayn?" She slurs

"Um ya he's a very nice friend." I tell her

" I-I think h-he..." Marie ends up passing out in my arms and she's to heavy for me to drag. I try to find someone to help me and I don't see Zayn on the couch. I give up on trying to find someone and I try dragging her when I bump into someone "hey what the hell!" I look up at the familiar voice, it's Harry I ignore him and I continue dragging Maria. "What the fuck are you doing!" He yells I ignore him once again I'm so close to the couch and he just has to stop me. "I am talking to you!" He shouts grabbing my arm I completely drop Maria "don't you dare touch me." I shout at him picking up Maria once again and dragging her to the couch.

"Well maybe if you haven't ignored me I wouldn't have touched you." He snaps at me

"Well why do you even care we're not even friends." I tell him

"Here let me help." He says in a much softer voice what the heck?

"No, I got it." I say not looking at him

"I said let me help." He demands clenching his teeth

"I said no." I snap at him

"Fine! Do this yourself, and by the way you look like a fucking idiot doing what ever the fuck your doing." He shouts

I finally make it to the couch, I'm trying not to cry I hate being weak.

"Need any help?." Louis asks me I nod at him and he carries her on the couch.

"Thanks." I mumble

"Hey are you okay?" He asks me

"Um ya I'm fine." I whisper, I quickly go inside the bathroom and lock the door I start to cry hard powerful tears why did he even offer to help me? After he said all those rude things to me he just decides to help me?

As I'm crying I hear a bang on the door "open the fucking the door!" It's Harry could this night get any worse?
