Alexa's POV

As soon as I got home from school, I filled a vase up with water for the rose that Louis had given me. Afterwards, I began to prepare for the party.

I've never stressed over makeup and clothes before, and this is my first party as the new me so I decided to go all out for the occasion.

I applied a heavy coat of mascara and eyeliner on the top and bottom of my eyes. I also tried to make the famous eyeliner wings that all the pretty girls are doing, but it resulted in raccoon eyes. I reapplied the eyeliner and finished with the rest of my makeup.

In an hour later, my hair was curled and pinned back and a black mini dress adorned my body.

Seeing myself less thick and actually pretty was still a shock to me. I could hardly recognize my own reflection in the mirror.

Niall said that he'd pick me up at 7 o'clock and it was nearly time. I squeezed my feet into a pair of black heels and topped off the look with a clutch just as I heard a car honk outside.

I hurried outside while locking the front door behind me. Niall's Range Rover was parked in the driver. Niall himself was standing outside of the car, holding the passenger door open for me.

This little gesture made my heart pound.

"Hey," I greeted him.

His blue eyes drank in the sight of me. "You look beautiful."

"Thank you," I said shyly. I clambered into the car before Niall shut the door. He jogged over to his side and started the car, backing out of the driveway and driving towards the party.

"So whose party is this?" I wondered.

"Some frat dude," Niall replied. "He throws the sockets parties."

"Good to know," I said as I watched bystanders out the window.

The car ride was awkward up until we arrived at our destination. It looked like a typical party; solo red cups littered over the lawn; front door wide open so everyone could see the hundreds of people inside; pounding loud music.

Niall parked his car on the curb before we both got out. As we walked up the sidewalk towards the house, I felt his fingers brush against mine for a split second before he put down his hand. I acted as if I didn't feel it.

When we got inside we both sat down on a couch along with a group of other people.

"Alexa, I want to introduce you to my friends," Niall said. He gestured towards each of the many people sitting around us and labeled a name for each of them. I didn't pay enough attention to remember their names.

I excuse myself to get a drink. In the kitchen I grabbed a beer from the fridge and sipped it, allowing the cold alcohol to reach its way into my system.

"Alexa?"

I looked up to see Harry leaning over the kitchen island.

"Hey," I said as I took another sip.

"You probably shouldn't be drinking, considering you're underage," he said arrogantly.

"Okay dad." I rolled my eyes. The alcohol was already taking its toll on me and I cursed myself for being a lightweight. Yet, I still continued to drink in spite of what Harry said.

His usually green eyes turned darker, almost scarily darker. "I said that you should stop drinking," he growled.

"And what if I don't," I challenged him, taking another big sip of the refreshing beer.

"Oh Alexa, I could be your worst nightmare."
