Damned. {H.S}

Breath.

He can't do shit to you right? Not anymore.

"What do you want?" I ask. I try to ignore his gaze.

"Nothing, just wanted to go to the toilet." He shrugs. Oh.

I scold myself for being disappointed by this. I know he wasn't looking for me. It shouldn't be this big of a surprise.

"Go ahead." I say and walk past him, out of the bathroom.  For a minute, I'm hoping he is coming after me. Maybe he'd talk to me. I look behind me and see nothing. No curls, no green eyes. Nothing.

He is not coming for you. Not anymore Liz.

I should look for Tess. See if she's alright.

On my way back to the living room, I stumble into ash.

"Woah there." He smiles at me.

"Have you seen Tess?" I ask him. He shakes his head.

"The last time I saw her, she was with louis." Great.

"How are you? Ready for tomorrow?" He asks.

"Is anyone ready for tomorrow?" I mock. He laughs. It wasn't supposed to be funny.

The school is hosting an assembly on the first day. For him.

"So, are you doing it?" He asks. I shake my head. The school asked me if I wanted to talk.

I haven't talked about it at all. Why would they think that I would talk in front of five hundred people?

"Thought so. By the way, has Harry been bothering you tonight?"

I wish.

"No, why?"

"Just to be sure. You don't need that kind of people right now."

I agree. Being around people is hard enough already. Being around people I despise would make it even worse.

"I actually wanted to ask you if you would want to play a round of beerpong? We're one person short." He smiles. I like that smile. It calms me.

"Sure, let's kick some ass." I put my fist in the air like some type of warrior.

He laughs and shakes his head in disagreement. "You do know that we're the ones getting our asses kicked?"

And he was right. Three rounds later, I'm stumbling towards the couch trying not to trip over my own feet.

"Worst. Idea. Ever" I say slowly. Ash sits down next to me and hands me a cup. I stare at him.

"Water." He says. Oh.

I take a sip and put the cup down on the table next to me.

I tap his shoulder and tell him that I'll be right back.

I seriously need to find a bathroom. Again. This party is going great so far.

I find my way to the bathroom and open the door without knocking only to find two horny teenagers, licking each others faces off.

The girl is sitting on his lap, her blond hair wild. I hear her moaning and she throws her head back so that he can kiss her neck.

Tessa.

So, I know the first two chapters have been really short but I'm trying to decide where I want to go with the story and honestly, I really wanted to publish so that you guys would get an idea of what it's about!

anyway, thanks for reading so far!
