A Drop in the Ocean (Liam Payne)

Chapter 15

Annabelle's POV

.

I felt like I was going to puke as I walked up the steps to the house of the party. Spencer had to ring the doorbell several times before someone heard us over the loud, thumping music. The guy who answered the door looked to be a senior in high school. I didn't recognize him, but it didn't really matter. I could tell that he was already drunk.

"C-c'mon in!" He said loudly while slurring his words. As he stepped aside to let us in, he stumbled a little. I absolutely hated parties. Having to deal with all of these drunk teenagers while I was completely sober just wasn't how I wanted to spend my Friday night. Spencer weaved through the packed room and found us a place to sit. He then left me to go get who knows what kind of drink for himself.

"Anna?" I turned around to see Liam standing in the doorway of the small and packed out living room.

"Hey! I didn't know you were the party type." He yelled over the loud music.

"I'm not really actually, Spencer is."

"Ahh I see. Where is Spencer?" I shrugged in order to answer his question.

"Well can I sit down then?" He asked.

"Oh yeah of course!" He sat down next to me. I liked that he left just enough space between us so it wouldn't be uncomfortable or awkward.

"So what brings you here?"

"Designated driver. Some buddies called and knew I'd have no plans so I thought why not?"

"So you haven't had anything to drink then?"

"Just good old water." He said with a smile. I liked his cheesy sense of humor.

"Eh-em"

"Oh hey Spencer! You're back! You remember Liam right?"

"Yeah." He said taking a long pull from the beer bottle in his hand.

"Well um I better get going... I'll see you later Anna." He got up from the couch and Spencer took his place.

"Why did he call you Anna?" He said while leaning in close to me. I could already tell that it was going to be a bad night. I could already smell the alcohol on his breath.
