"Are you sure you want to do this?"

-Time Skip (a week later)-

-Echo's POV-

I silenced my phone after yet another buzz went off; Wyatt had been texting me every day trying to get me to talk to him, but I didn't want to hear it, I had completely blocked him out since last week. I had been focusing on college, going to all of my lectures and doing my assignments, the parties and drinking had calmed down for down and we were all putting our heads down and focusing on our work. I was just finishing up my makeup when I happened to glance at my phone screen, a message from someone other than Wyatt popped up.

I checked the time; 9:02pm. The girls had told me about the party and urged me to come earlier that day but I said no, but somehow, Jack had convinced me. I don't know what it was about him, he annoyed the shit out of me but he had a charm. I smiled to myself as I finished up my makeup and hair before leaving my room to talk to the girls.

"I'm coming guys." I sighed, walking into Sadie's room, where Millie and Sophia also were.

"Yes! You need to let loose, we've all been working way too hard this past week." Sophia replied, wrapping her arm around my shoulder and shaking me slightly. "Go get changed quick, we're heading up there in a couple of minutes." I nodded and headed back to my room, finding a cute grey bodycon dress with spaghetti straps that came half way up my thighs, and I threw on some black vans and a denim jacket to finish the outfit. I glanced at myself in the mirror, nodding in approval before leaving my room and heading upstairs with the girls. I felt pretty cute, and I wanted Wyatt to see what he was missing if he did decide to show his face.

"Hey girlies." Chosen greeted us cheerfully at the door, holding it open as we all piled in. As soon as we entered the kitchen, I felt all the boys eyes on me, looking me up and down. I awkwardly ran a hand through my hair and headed over to the counter to pour myself a drink... a strong one. I decided on vodka, and as I was topping my cup up with coke, I felt someone's hand brush against my lower back.

"Look who showed up." Jack said mischievously, topping up his drink himself. I laughed a little and turned to face him, sipping on my drink and eyeing him over... he was actually pretty cute. "You ready to get wasted with me tonight?"

"I guess so, I'm not really in the mood..." I trailed off, Wyatt crossing my mind, my anxiety was rising, I was just waiting for him to walk through the door.

"He's not even home right now, Echo, he went to visit his parents." Jack said quietly, obviously noticing the worry on my face. I nodded slowly and smiled, my heart rate slowing down.

"Who's ready to party?" Finn shouted rather obnoxiously, before cranking the music up even louder. I had to admit, I was happy I came.

-

"I thought you were done with Finn." I whispered into Millie's ear, who was sat on Finn's lap on the couch; we were all pretty wasted.

"Shh..." Millie giggled back at me, before they both stood up and Finn lead her away out of the kitchen by her hand. I rolled my eyes and crashed down on the couch where they were just sat. My head was spinning and I was beyond drunk, but I continued to drink my drink. I observed the room for a minute, in one corner I saw Jae and Sophia talking, they were suspiciously close, and stood on the balcony was Sadie, Chosen and Jack. I closed my eyes for a minute, before feeling an overwhelming urge to pee, so I quickly shot up and stumbled towards the three.

"You okay Echo?" Jack slurred, laughing and placing his arm around my waist to balance me. 

a/n: i suggest playing this song now as you read for the full effect.

"I need to pee, can I use your toilet?" I said quietly, and Jack nodded, leading the way to his room. He opened the bathroom door for me and slumped back onto his bed, his back against the wall.

"I'll wait here." He sighed, and I flashed him a cheeky smile before closing the door. When I was done, I stumbled out and closed the door, before heading towards him and crashing onto the bed backwards, draping my legs over his, my head sinking into his pillow. 

"I am so drunk." I laughed, closing my eyes.

"Me too." I heard Jack say, and suddenly felt his cold hand rest on the inside of my thigh, but I didn't mind. "You're pretty hot, Echo." 

"You're an asshole, but your looks make up for your personality." I giggled, opening my eyes and looking up at him, his eyes already trailing all over my body. "Stop." I joked, reaching up and wrapping my hand around his neck playfully, but suddenly there was a moment where we were both looking into each others eyes, and it felt impossible to look away. 

We both launched at one another, our lips crashing together, and I could feel Jack's hand edge further and further up my thigh, under my dress. After a minute or two, I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him on top of me, pulling his shirt over his head as he began to kiss down my neck and chest. Even though I knew we shouldn't be doing this, I couldn't stop myself.

-Jack's POV-

There were a million thoughts running through my mind at once, I wanted to stop but I didn't, everything felt so wrong but so right at the same time. I forced myself to stop for a moment, and looked down at Echo.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked quietly, breathing heavily as she continued to run her fingers from my shoulders and down my torso.

"Yes." She whispered, before kissing me again, and I felt her begin to unbutton my jeans as I pulled her dress up to her hips.
