you wipe your sweaty palms against your jeans as loud music booms in the background around you. the plain thought of being at one of bryce walker's parties gave you anxiety alone, but being there made it one hundred times worse. it was your best friend justin's idea to bring you as his plus one, and it was at that moment you instantly regretted agreeing.

"you want a drink (y/n)? you look pretty tense?" your cousin, jeff atkins, smiles with his bright, white teeth. you two were so close you could almost be siblings, and he always wanted the best for you.

"nope, i don't drink, you should know that," you give your cousin a look, then immediately break down into laughter.

"why not? maybe that's why you're so uptight all the time, doll," bryce walker smirks as he joins the conversation.

jeff hesitates, and before he can say anything he is pulled away by his baseball friends, leaving you and bryce alone. there was an awkward silence, until bryce gave you a sweet look.

"i'm not going to bite, (y/n)," he laughed. "just wondering why you're at one of my parties."

"justin brought me," you manage to say without stuttering, your fear of bryce clearly showing through.

"well, justin's clearly not interested in spending time with you, but i'll gladly talk to you while he's messing around," he moves closer to you, causing your stomach to drop. you try to take a step back, but he grabs you hand.

"there's no need for that, i've actually been looking for her all night," justin walks up next to you, causing bryce to smirk.

"no worry, justy!" he laughs. "we were actually just about to head to my room for a bit."

a single tear runs down your cheek as you look at justin, fear and sadness noticeable in your eyes.

"actually, (y/n), your mom called me a few minutes ago. it's an emergency and she needs you home right now," justin wraps his arm around your waist, pulling you out of the alleged rapist's grip.

you bury your head into the crook of his neck and whisper thank you as bryce walks away. you move your head out of his neck and he stares into your eyes for a few moments, love and concern were present in his light, blue orbs.

and it happened so quickly that you couldn't overthink things as justin leaned in, connecting your lips. you'd never had admitted it before this, but you'd always had a huge crush on justin, but thought you'd never stand a chance.

he pulls away and leans his forehead against yours. it was at that moment it felt like you two were the only people in the world. "i love you, (y/n)."

"i love you too, justin."
