HANNAH

*Flash back

I watch Ashton drinking with some other boys and laughing hysterically while sitting on my own and drinking some vodka as well. I don't even like vodka. Summer couldn't come to the party at Josh's place because she had a family thing to go, and Ashton ended up convincing me to come along with him. Now I wonder why he actually asked me to come with him if he has fun enough with his other friends. I roll my eyes at the though, I have to stop doing everything he asks, I'm starting to make a fool of myself. 

Because I have nothing better to do and I don't know anyone else at this party that I can talk to, I decide to just take a walk on the house. There's a whole bunch of drunk young people dancing and chatting on the halls, bumping on each other everytime someone wants to get another drink. 

I've been walking around the place for a while now and for some reason most people had gone to the lower floor, so I'm barely alone once again. There're probably two idiots fighting or something like that. I'm focused on a horrible painting on the wall when I hear a noise coming from the stairs.

Ashton laughs at himself after stumbling on his own feet trying to reach the top. He looks at me and widen his eyes.

"Han! I've been looking for you all night!" He says, coming near me and cupping my face in his hands. I can't help but laugh at him.

"Well, you've found me"

"Yeah, I have!" He smiles widely and messes my hair slightly, sitting on the floor and resting his back on the wall with a sigh "So, you're enjoying the party?" He asks as I sit beside him.

I let out a humorless laugh "Not really"

"Yeah, me neither. I wished Summer was here"

I roll my eyes, but he doesn't see "Yeah, at least she'd be having fun"

He sighs and close his eyes for a long moment, I'm surprised when he lets out a loud laugh out of nothing "I'm so drunk" Apparently he thinks that's quite funny "I almost passed out right now"

I can't help but smile at him, he looks like a kid acting like that. I get up, extending my hand so he'd take it.

"You should wash your face to feel better, c'mon"

He takes my hand and I help him get up but he doesn't move when I try to take him to the nearest bathroom.

"No, you know what?" He pulls me closer to him and I can feel his breath that smells like vodka even from that distance "I'm fine, I'm better than fine actually, I'm..."  He frowns for a second and then laughs "I forgot the word, but whatever, you know" His words come out sloppy but he doesn't seem to notice "I mean, we can do something fun, right?"

I raise an eyebrow at him, a small smile on my lips, it's funny to see him like this "Like what?" I ask, but he seems to have lost focus on our talk, he stares at the shirt I'm wearing while playing with the hem of it.

"That looks good on you" He murmurs, his hands now on my waist and his grip getting tighter around me.

I look down at the tank top I had borrowed from Summer, it makes somehow my breasts look bigger than they actually are, I can't help but blush slighly at his look "Thanks"

He nods, staring at me serious "I know what we can do"

I narrow my eyes at him "What?"

He smirks, walking forward slowly and leading me by his grip on my waist. I feel my back reach the cold wall and Ashton stops in front of me, closer than he was before. One of his hands caresses the back of my neck, his fingers tangling on my hair.
