chapter six

june listened to music in her room, laying on her stomach and swinging her feet. they were all going to a party tonight, and the brunette was procrastinating actually getting ready.

"june! we're leaving in like... an hour." jake called, knocking loudly on her door.

"yeah yeah." june shot back, and got up, sitting at her vanity that she put together the day before. she did her makeup, and picked a dark blue dress. she spun around in the mirror, but she tripped on her feet and fell on her ass onto the floor.

"shit." she hissed, getting back up and dusting herself off. she got up, and sat back at her vanity, curling her long straight brown hair. she went on her phone for a few moments, taking a few photos, because it was rare she put this much thought into her appearance.

she went out of her room, and saw the boys. alex was in a black shirt with a black tie, and niall was in a white shirt with a black vest. she made sure to compliment him, sending him a playful wink. and then jake came out, and they all laughed. jake and june were matching colors.

it was definite that they had a photo shoot, jake picking her up bridal style and her kissing his cheek. of course, she didn't mean much by it, she just thought it'd be cute.

"oh shit, i'm posting these on twitter." alex, who was the photographer of their little shoot, cheered. he posted them, and immediately, june's, jake's, and alex's phones all blew up with twitter notifications.

"well, everyone ships 'juake' now." alex laughed. niall stayed oddly silent, which was rare for him. niall was very talkative, and loved to be heard.

"niall, hun, you alright?" june asked, noticing how silent he was. he went over to him, sitting next to him.

niall nodded, putting on a smile for them. "yeah, i'm okay." he said, though his statement lacked sincerity. june nodded, deciding not to press him.

"alright fuckers, let's go." alex said, and everyone left through the front door, piling into jake's car. june leaned her head onto niall's shoulder. he didn't decline, and let her. she smiled. he felt warm. they were in the car for about a half an hour, listening to a variety of songs, as they all had different taste. it was fun.

🥀

it was about ten at night when they walked into the party, which was wild from the beginning. the strong smell of alcohol hit june, who'd stayed far away from drinking. she knew jake and smoked and drank before, and alex had drank. she was pretty sure niall had drank too.

but she never tried any.

it was illegal when she was back home, and she wasn't much of a rule breaker. she stayed close to her brother and niall, as jake already had gone off.

"you don't have to drink or do anything, june. don't feel pressured to." niall said, though he went to the bar and both alex and niall ordered drinks. she was indecisive, though she made up her mind quickly.

"i want some." she said boldly, and niall exchanged glances with alex, who nodded hesitantly. "not too much." she heard him mutter.

niall ordered her a drink. she took a sip, and cringed. though it had a good aftertaste. she sipped a bit more, and it wasn't as bad this time. soon she drank half of it as the night went on.

she found herself feeling floaty, and more carefree. her movements were more fluid, and she was calm and free spirited.

"duuuude, this party is... fricking awesome." june giggled. she was a major lightweight.

niall laughed, him being not nearly as drunk as she.

"you're awesomer, though." june said, going up on her tippy toes and hugging him.

"june, you're wasted." niall replied, but returned her hug.

"'m gonna get another drink." june slurred, and then left him alone. he could see her from where he was from. june ordered a drink she'd taken a liking to. a guy sat next to her, a bit too close for niall's liking. june turned to talk to jake, just enough time for the guy next to her to slip some substance of god knows what into the girl's drink.

niall's eyes widened, and he quickly ran over to them. he grabbed june's wrist just before she took a sip. "he put something in that june, put it down." he said urgently.

june, even in this drunk state, put the cup down. niall turned to the guy. "you fucking bastard." niall said aggressively.

"leave my girl the fuck alone, you creep." niall seethed next, and he felt the alcohol and anger combine, and before he knew it he was punching the guy in the nose. he got a heavy amount of punches in before alex noticed them fighting, running over and pulling the blonde boy off of the guy under him. "niall, niall stop!" alex yelled. niall finally stopped laying punches, the other guy bloody. the bartender escorted them out, calling a taxi for them. niall had a bloody lip, though it wasn't too serious. he'd definitely won.

the taxi ride was silent, all of their heads buzzing but no one said a word. june calmed niall down, leaning her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes. when she opened her eyes again, she noticed his jaw clenching as blood welled up on his bottom lip, just for him to take it between his teeth.

"hey, niall." june said, her words still slurring but not as much, as she'd drank as much water as she possibly could in the taxi. niall looked over at her, waiting for her to speak.

"thank you." june whispered, and niall smiled just the slightest bit.

"anything for you." niall said seriously. they both were smiling now.

🥀

they all made it into the house awhile later, all filing in. they were all mostly sober now, especially niall. june herded him into the bathroom, making him sit on the toilet as she tended to his lip wound.

she dabbed a cloth onto his lip, a smile on her lips. "you know, that was fucking hot." june said.

"oh really?" niall replied, raising an eyebrow with a smirk. june nodded, a small laugh leaving her lips. "definitely. you totally crushed that guy. he got what he deserved." she replied, finishing a wound.

"there." june affirmed, looking into his eyes with a smile. she stood up from squatting in front of him to go back into the living room, with niall.

"ooo, june and niall in the bathroom together? saucy." alex teased. june rolled her eyes.

"i'm going to sleep. goodnight everyone." june bid her farewells before going into her room.

she laid on her bed after changing and taking off her makeup. she thought about the fight, and the words that niall said. 'leave my girl the fuck alone, you creep.' was what he said. 'my girl.'

she thought this was interesting. but she'd address it tomorrow. the girl fell asleep, all curled up into her bedsheets.

🥀
