Run Wild • Ackley Bridge

• to the party •

" I thought Cory would've been back by now" I say to Jordan, whose sat on the sofa opposite me as I look onto my phone to see the time says 6:46pm

We've been sat for a while now, just talking about the baby situation and trying to wrap my head around it, as well as other things and I've really gotten to know him in the time.

He's about to speak up, then all of a sudden there is a couple knocks on the door.

" Might Be him now, or Missy and Nas" I say, standing up from the sofa and walking over to the door and cautiously opening it.

" AHH!" They both say, before embracing me in a hug.

" So lovely to see ya, is this Mr Simpson's place? Nice this." Nas says, as they both walk into Wills home, and I can see the look on their faces turn to confusion when they see Jordan sat on the sofa.

" What's he doing here, he's not your boyfriend is he?" Missy whispers to me, slightly laughing but it's a more nervous laugh than anything.

" No, No, No. he's just here because... because" I start but I am quickly cut off by Jordan walking towards where we're stood.

" because Cory was here." He says, as he opens up my fridge and gets out a can of drink.

" So Corys your boyfriend?" Nas smiles, raising both his eyebrows.

" No, he did me a favour so I did him one, that's all" I say, which warrants a confused look from both of them but it quickly disappears.

" Should we go get ready then?" Nas asks, excitedly shaking her hands and biting her lip out of excitement.

" You two head up, I'll join in a minute" I say, as they both run up the stairs, starting their own conversation.

I wait until their both upstairs and can't hear us speaking.

" whyd you tell them that then?" I ask him, slightly laughing because I believe it was pretty obvious I was trying to come up with a lie so it doesn't seem as though I'm just Corys new girl that he's gonna hook up with for a night then leave.

" It's the truth tho, init?" He shrugs, giving me a confused look.

" ay whatever." I say before beginning to walk up the stairs, but he then says my name, diverting my attention back to him.

" is it alright if I stay here again tonight, I don't want to go back home" he tells me, with an almost afraid look on his face.

" Sure," I smile, which he smiles back before I run up the stairs to join Nas and Missy who are already in my room getting ready.

" Bit weird like having them both at your house?"Missy asks, as we walk down the street to Zain's party. Missy is dressed in all black, her hair straight and in a middle part and quite dark makeup that just makes her eyes pop.

I'm wearing on my black bodycon dress that fits to my body nicely and some black heels. Missy lightly curled my hair and Nas did me some makeup, as I am not the best at it and truth be told I look quite good.

I mean way better than usual, which isn't that hard to top.

" I'm just shocked Cory hasn't tried it with you" Nas says laughing, causing the the both of us to laugh too. She's wearing a blue dress, her hair lightly curled too and she looks extremely pretty.

" It wasn't too bad having them there, I mean they did leave the place a mess."I laugh as we turn the street corner, walking past an older couple.

" Looked clean when we were there" Missy says, causing Nas and i to look at her with a confused look, as we both know that obviously I cleaned the place before they came.

I mean Jordan did help but for the most part it was only me.

" Yeah, probably because I cleaned it" I nod at her, laughing as Nas does too but Missy quickly joins in as we get to Zain's house, where his party is.

Loud music is playing and there's lights flashing in the downstairs.

" Ohhh I'm excited!" Missy says, before dragging the both of us up to the front door and straight inside.
