Purity Ring // n.h. au

nine.

Niall tugged me through the large crowd that filled up the living room of the typical looking house party. Although the house of the host named Josh -a boy I didn't know- was huge. Everything in the home appeared expensive, although it was basically filled completely with sweaty, wasted teenagers. Heavy bass thumped throughout the entire house and could probably be heard from a block away, my only question was where the hell were his parents?

I bumped into various people either talking or making out and apologised even though I sort of wanted to smack them. "Do you want a drink?" Niall yelled loudly as we entered the kitchen. I nodded, I was at a party, might as well have fun. Niall quickly grabbed two plastic cups and poured vodka into them.

I rarely ever drank, although I did steal my parents expensive wine from time to time. Niall handed me the cup and smirked, "Bottoms up." I smiled slightly and took a sip from the red cup. Honestly alcohol wasn't as great as everyone made it out to be, most of it tasted like shit. But the vodka wasn't bad, although I'd rather have my parents wine.

"We should dance," Niall whispered in in my ear which sent chills down my spine.

"If by dance you mean grind, no thanks," I stated staring at the crowd that took up the space of the living room, every couple basically having dry sex with each other.

Niall pouted, "You're no fun."

"Niall mate!" I brunette boy approached Niall and they did a manly hug, which caused me to roll me eyes. "And who's the lovely bird you've got with you?" the boy eyed me up and down and I felt uncomfortable underneath his gaze.

"This is Finn. Finn meet Louis," Niall gestured to his friend and I faked a smile. Louis stare me up and down again and whispered something in Niall's ear, to which Niall shook his head and Louis frowned.

"Well I'll see you around Finn," Louis gave me a sideways glance and slipped out of the kitchen. I was left confused and slightly irritated, Louis looked at me as if I was a piece of property, Niall's property. Niall shrugged and I walked out of the kitchen, leaving behind the blonde and entering the crowded living room.

The music reverberated throughout the room, it was so loud you could feel the bass thumping, "I love this song." Niall startled me by whispering in my ear. The song was catchy and I did want to dance, just not grinding on Niall.

"What's this song called?" I yelled even though Niall was right next me.

"Fight night," Niall smirked and I noticed just exactly what the song was talking about. Of course it was dirty, it seemed all really catchy songs contained inappropriate lyrics. I nodded my head along to the music and Niall laughed. "You sure you don't wanna dance?"

I bit my lip, yes I wanted to dance because it seemed like everyone was enjoying themselves dancing, "Fine whatever, but don't get any ideas Horan." I warned placing my red cup on a nearby table.

Niall smiled and tugged me towards the heart of the dance floor, dozens of couples already dancing or well, grinding. I felt awkward but soon just forgot about the fact that Niall probably thought I looked like a penguin with a broken leg. I closed my eyes and moved to the beat of the music and Niall danced with me.

Niall slipped his hand around my waist and pulled me closer to him, our bodies almost touching. I felt uncomfortable but I didn't pull away due to the fact that Niall's touch was sending electricity through my body."I could teach you to grind," Niall whispered in my ear and I shivered.

The idea sounded awful but I found myself actually wanting the act to happen, "Fine but I'll need to down a gallon of vodka before."

"We can make that happen too," Niall smirked and pulled me away from the dance floor. He tugged me into the kitchen and poured me a shot which I downed in seconds, the alcohol burning my throat. After two more shots my head was fuzzy and my arms felt heavy, "Feel better?"
