"Ellie, we have to leave or we'll be late!" Elliott called out before appearing in the doorway of my room.
"I'm coming!" I slip on my shoes.
"Gotta make yourself pretty for Christian," he teased as he led me downstairs.
"Shut up!" I blush.
He smirked over his shoulder at me before opening the front door. "Wes, Mia, we're leaving!" he shouted before going towards his car. I walk over to his car and get in since I'm meeting Christian at the party.
We arrived outside the house hosting the party and went inside. Christian finds me right away and I grin.
"Hey!" I shouted over the music, tiptoeing to kiss his cheek.
He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me close, kissing my forehead. "Hi Ella."
I smiled and closed my eyes. "Let's dance," I told him before pulling him towards the make-shift dance floor in the living room. He grins and pulls me against him as we start to dance.
Three songs later, I pulled his head towards mine so I could kiss him then shout to him over the music. "I'm going to the bathroom, okay?"
"Sure, I'm going to get a drink!" he shouted back before kissing my forehead and walking away. I make my way through the crowd and to the bathroom. Once I managed to use the bathroom, I went back downstairs to find Christian. I look around for him, but I can't seem to find him.
"Hi!" a girl chirped, appearing next to me.
"Uh, hi," I smiled back at the girl in confusion. "Do I know you?" I ask.
"I don't think so," she said, shrugging. "But I know your brother and boyfriend."
I laugh lightly. "Which brother?"
"Your twin? I think." She pursed her lips and looked around. "I'm Alex, by the way."
"Ellie." I shook her hand. "Have you seen my brother or boyfriend by any chance?"
"I haven't, sorry."
I sighed and looked away. "Okay." I spot Wes with Mia. "Excuse me." I smile at the girl and go over to them. "Do you two know why Elliott or Christian is?"
Mia looked at me, her eyes slightly glazed. "Sorry, bubble bee. I haven't seen him since we all split."
"Try the kitchen," Wes suggested, looking down at his girlfriend and holding her up.
I nod. "What happened? Its been like an hour and a half?"
"She got involved with a drinking game," he told me, his eyes showing concern for my best friend. "She thought she could keep up with the boys."
"She's gonna have to stay at ours tonight, her parents would kill her if they knew."
He nodded. "I don't mind," he said softly, pushing her hair away from her face.
I kiss his cheek. "I'll see you two in a bit."
I walked into the kitchen and spotted one of my brother's friends. "Hey, Cam."
"Hey, little Ellie," he greeted, grinning at me.
"Have you seen Christian? I can't seem to find him anywhere."
"There's a drinking game going on upstairs, have you checked there?" he asked once he took his go at the beer-related game.
"I haven't, thanks Cam." I sigh and head to where he told me. Once upstairs, I head towards the upstairs game room; following the loud shouts of boys and girls. I walk into the room and see if I can spot him.
"Hey, Ellie!" a boy from my English class called out. "Come join us!"
I shake my head. "Have you seen Christian?"
He turned to his friend before looking back at me. "We saw him leave a little while ago with a girl?"
My hearts tugs. "W-what?"
"Yeah, he played one of the games and left with some girl," the guy told me
"Wasn't it his ex?" his friend butted in, clearly wanting to be apart of the conversation.
"H-he, he left, as in went home?" I ask my heart tugging more.
"Maybe. He could still be in one of the other rooms with her though," he said, shrugging. He squinted his eyes at me. "Wait, aren't you dating him?" My heart starts to break a little as I run out of the room and start looking in the bedrooms. The third bedroom I stopped outside of, I could hear voices. Please, please don't be him! I squeezed my eyes shut and opened the door. Slowly opening my eyes, I looked at the sight before me.
