The Not So Average Couple

That's Got To Hurt

We arrived at the street of the party soon after we left the house. I could hear and feel the sound of the vibrations from down the street as I approached the house. The closer we got the louder the noise.

When we finally got to the house the lawn was scattered with people all over. Couples were making out and people were drinking all over the outside of the house. There were red cups trashed all over the floor along with people that were beyond wasted. I planned on not getting drunk tonight since I was supposed to be the designated driver.

I parked my car across the street from the house and climbed out of the driver's seat. Jess and I both closed our doors and I locked the car doors behind us. Getting into the house was a struggle because of all the people standing outside. I could hear people yelling inside from what I figured was a game of beer pong.

Stepping inside the house I was immediately hit with the smell of alcohol mixed with sweat. People were dancing all over to the loud music. I linked my arm with Jess as she guided her way through the crowds of bodies at the party.

We ended up in the kitchen and Jess immediately picked up two cups and filled them with beer. She outstretched her hand and nudged the cup towards me.

"Drink?" she asked me already chugging down the one in her hand. I grabbed the cup from her hand and took a sip. I cringed at the disgusting taste in my throat as I drank from the cup. She chuckled at my expression and slammed her cup down on the table.

She gave me a slight smirk "Come on let's go dance our asses off." I smiled at her and she grabbed my hand pulling me to the dance floor. There were people dancing all over both alone and with others. Couples were grinding on each other, basically having sex while dancing.

'Party in the USA' by Miley Cyrus started playing on the speakers and everyone started screaming. I laughed to myself and started dancing with Jess in front of me. We were singing at the top of our lungs along with everybody else. Tonight was my night and I was not letting anyone ruin it.

I turned around to admire the crowd and by the time I turned back, Jess was already grinding on some other guy. She looked at me and I winked at her causing her to smile. I continued to dance until I felt a pair of hands snake around my waist. I continued dancing with them because tonight was my night to forget and let loose before the school year starts.

I turned around to dance with them face to face but my breath hitched in my throat when I saw the person I was dancing with. Liam looked at me with a huge smirk on his face. His face was full of sweat which his blonde hair stuck to and his blue eyes had emotion behind them I couldn't recognize.

I immediately backed up from him pushing his hands off of my waist. I ran out through the crowd towards the backyard hearing him call my name behind me. I couldn't believe he would even have the nerve to touch me after what he had done to me. After all, we have been through for him to do that to me, he didn't even deserve to look my way. 

Without looking I walked quickly outside and bumped right into what felt like a wall. I looked up to see the mystery guy from my house that morning looking down at me. I mumbled a quick 'sorry' and continued to make my way outside. I was in desperate need of fresh air.

When I finally reached the backyard, which was a lot farther away than I thought, I stopped running and took in a deep breath. I attempted to clear my mind of all the things that had just happened but couldn't when I heard Liam call my name once again, this time even louder than the past times. Can this man just leave me alone. 

I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around so fast it made me dizzy. Liam was standing there his eyes boring into mine. 

"Gigi please" he pleaded, guilt clear on his face.
