Always You

Chapter 4

I imagine Oliver as Tarjei Sandvik Moe, better known as Isak from Skam and ahhh he's such a cutie!

P.S if you watch Skam I love you xx:))

"Dimples!" He slurs and pulls me towards him. I almost trip on a step as he forces me to move to his level.

"For the last time Ryan, I'm not interested in whatever game you're trying to play. Leave me alone." I rip my hand out of his and start to turn around again but his grip on my shoulder is too strong.

"What game? I miss you Jade." He mumbles. Great, is not one person at this party sober?

I'll admit, my heart does make a small leap when he says that to me. I can't help it. I've wanted him to say those words for so long, mostly because I just wanted my best friend back. If it were freshman year me, I would've been hugging him and telling him that we should be friends again. But this isn't freshman me, this is senior me. And senior me isn't a naive, scared little girl who falls for shit that isn't real.

"Oh really? The feeling's not mutual." I snap before attempting to loosen his grip on my shoulder.

Even though he's drunk, I can still see the pure disappointment in his eyes. He only lets his face fall for one second before moving up to the step I'm standing on. His body hovers over me as he runs his eyes along my face, his alcohol-stained breath lightly fanning me.

"I know you miss me too, you just don't want to admit it." He whispers. The tickling feeling of his breath on my cheek makes shivers run down my spine.

"No, I don't. Now leave me the hell alone." His assumption that I miss him gives me enough anger to push him away from me. Before he has the chance to grab me again, I run up the stairs and make my way towards the bathroom.

I can hear his footsteps behind me as he stumbles up the stairs, making me move even faster than I already was.

"Jade! Can you just, I don't know, give me the chance to explain?" I hear his husky voice behind me. I don't stop searching for the bathroom as he follows close behind me. As I push through the clusters of bodies in the hallway, I'm hoping they could be enough to lose him.

"Jade, just wait a minute."

"Jade!"

As I approach the bathroom, a hand grips my arm once again. I don't bother shaking it off and instead twist the doorknob to the bathroom. As I open the door, my eyes are scarred with the vision of two teenagers sticking their tongues so far down each other's throats that they can probably feel it in their stomach.

The girl who's currently straddling a guy sitting on the toilet looks up at me and gives me a scowl, one that I surely return. I can feel Ryan's chest brush up against my back as he moves closer to the awkward encounter I just had.

"Out." He simply says to the couple. The girl scowls at him as well while the guy just has a pure look of disappointment in his eyes. She slowly unravels herself from him and stands up, pulling down her shirt that was halfway removed. The boy stands up from the toilet and buttons his pants before walking towards the door slowly.

"Thanks a lot, cockblock." He mumbles to me, acting as if I'm the one who literally just told him to get out of the bathroom with one word and no hesitation. Right, because I'm the one who told you that you had to leave? People in this town need to start blaming the person who is actually the cockblock in this situation, aka Ryan. His label in this town means too much.

"Fuck off." I mumble to the guy as he walks out of the room. He gives me one last glare before taking the girl's hand and exiting the room.

"Cool, thanks. Now you have to leave too." I say before attempting to shut the door in Ryan's face.
