I Dare You

Eight

"Look who it is."

"Hey man! Nice to see you show up!"

"Want a drink?"

"Want a line?"

"Pop a pill man, yeah?"

To many fucking questions...

To much fucking talking!

Did Harry even want to be here?

No.

But when Louis fucking Tomlinson invites you to his party... You show the fuck up.

"Hey guys." Harry awkwardly approached Louis' group. Zayn, Liam, and a couple of Louis' friends from the football team.

"Where's your friend?" Zayn spoke up. "Nathan? Nolan? Neil? Was it?" Zayn asked, Harry chuckled. "Niall. His name is Niall, and uh- he's at home I'm guessing- I don't know- parties aren't his thing." Harry explained to Zayn who was nodding slightly while taking a drink out of a red solo cup, Harry had no idea what was inside of that cup and he didn't want to know.

Harry didn't have anything against drinking or smoking pot. He really didn't care he just chose not to do it. It wasn't his thing.

"Shame. He's a cool lad." Zayn smiled, Harry nodded his head and looked around the room to find anyone he knew besides Zayn and Liam.

He didn't know Liam very well, actually he only knew of him. They only hung out once and Liam was snogging Jessie the whole time. At least Harry knew Zayn.

"Harry, we were gonna play a game of spin the bottle- wanna play?" Louis asked Harry, Harry just shrugged.

"Um, I don't wanna kiss anyone." Harry admitted, Louis began to laugh.

"No, Harry. We make a drinking game out of it. Who ever the bottle lands on takes a shot."

"Oh!" Harry felt so stupid. He began to blush at his mistake.

Then again, spin the bottle was a kissing game... So how was he to know?

"So you wanna play?" Louis asked, amusement clear on his face.

Harry thought about it.

Jasmine thought Harry was at Niall's house having pizza and playing video games.... Maybe getting drunk would be easy to get away with.

"I don't know-" Harry started.

"Come on man, play. Loosen up." Louis encouraged him.

Harry tensed when Louis' hand squeezed his shoulder.

"I dare you." Louis whispered.

Harry sighed.

"Fine."

"Perfect! I'll go get Novelly and Jessie- we'll make a bigger group of this." Liam said.

Harry sighed.

He hadn't spoke to Novelly since Wednesday night... and he honestly wanted to keep it that way.

*

Harry sat in the circle, a couple spots available on his left for anyone else who wanted to join.

Novelly sat across from him next to Louis, her head on his shoulder, hand on his knee, and legs intertwined. She was obviously putting on a show just so Harry got the message that she was not available and that her and Louis were in love.

Harry shouldn't have said anything to Novelly in the first place, it was none of his business and it was all for his own selfish reasons.

"Harry, I'll give you first spin." Louis handed the bottle to Harry who placed it on the piece of card bored in the middle of them.

Harry spun the bottle and it landed on one of Louis' foot ball buddies who's name Harry couldn't care less about.

He took a shot of Green Apple Smirnoff and spun the bottle, landing on Liam.

**

It was about fifty spins later and everyone in the circle was drunk... Except for Novelly.

This was the first time Harry had ever been drunk, and it was such an amazing experience for him honestly.

He was able to let loose and let go a little, talk shit and have a laugh with someone because everything was funny and everything was stupid.

It was when they decided to play truth or dare that everything got a little out of hand.

"Louis I dare you to kiss the most handsome guy in the circle." Jessie dared her brother. Louis was so piss drunk he didn't back down, he leant to his left and kissed Zayn's cheek and then kissed his girlfriend on the mouth.

"Okay. My turn." Louis slurred, laughing as he pointed to Harry.

"Truth or dare big guy?" He asked Harry, Harry didn't feel like doing anything crazy tonight, and the fact he had the option to do a truth was a relief.

"Truth." Harry stated.

"Nah! I had a great dare!" Louis whined.

Harry sighed.

"Dare." Harry said, he was drunk anyways- why not?

"I dare you, to..." He paused. "Kiss the most hottest girl in the circle."

Harry's throat ran dry, he looked around the circle in hopes there was someone there who wasn't Novelly or Jessie, but the only other girls were making out with each other... And Harry didn't want to interrupt.

"Erm.." Harry bit his lip, he always followed through with dares, he couldn't just stop now.

"On the cheek?" Harry asked, Louis shrugged. "Sure."

Harry leant over the circle and found his lips on Novelly's cheek until she pushed him off.

The entire circle was laughing and Novelly was just shocked. Louis was pissed and Harry was embarrassed.

What did Louis expect?

Was Louis expecting Harry to kiss one of the lesbians?

Even more embarrassing!

Harry got up from the circle and sighed-

"Thanks for inviting me, Louis- I think I'll go home now."

And with that Harry was gone.

**

*im sorry*

*ya, you should be! Kissing me in front of my boyfriend like that!*

*I was drunk... I'm sorry... That was wrong, but I always follow through on my dares*

*we are just friends Harry*

*i know*

"I know." Harry mumbled to himself.

This weekend couldn't get any worse really, his hang over was terrible and almost impossible to hide from Jasmine. He came home around 2 in the morning, for a while after he left he just walked around the town thinking about what a screw up he was and how hard it was to be happy.

Why was is so hard to be happy?

Everyone else was happy, even those who had nothing-

Harry had nothing- why wasn't he happy?

No. Harry had a nice place to live now, he had a wonderful aunt who loved him and took care of him and he had a great dorky friend and he was smart... He should be happy.

But he wasn't.
