By Your Side; Ksimon

Chapter Sixteen

Simon's POV:

I sat nervously in the living room, it was 20:50. My eyes were glued to the window, waiting to see JJ's car pull up.

I was eighteen, I think it's legal for me to drink, but defiantly not for JJ, I doubted there would be adults there.

My stomach rumbled as I sat there on my phone, I hadn't ate yet, I figured we would eat there.

I was wearing a long sleeve, grey shirt, and black sweatpants, I wasn't sure what to wear.

My mum walked into the room, "So you never explained where you were off to? How long do you think you'll be gone?" She questioned curious, sitting besides me.

"I'm off to a friends house, we're going to, uh study...I won't be home for probably awhile, I don't know..." She sighs, I felt kind of bad. I haven't really been telling anyone what I'm up too, or who I hanging with.

"Is it this JJ kid?" She questioned remembering him from when he brought me home. I nodded slowly. "You're staying home." She says sternly.

"Mum I'm eighteen! I'm going over to study, I can handle it myself." I mumbled, standing up angrily. Luckily his car came down the driveway.

I walked out of the house, slamming the door behind me. I was walking almost as normally as possible, I hid my brace under my pant leg.

I hop in the car, and JJ looks over at me, "You alright?" He questions. I just nod. "Well a drink will cure that. Promise." He says happily as he starts driving.

That was defiantly a problem, I've never drank in my life...what was I supposed to do. This was illegal!? We're going get in trouble.

I sat there nervously till we finally arrived, "Whose party is this?" I questioned.

JJ shrugged, "This chick named Iris. She's like SUPER rich and hot." He joked as we stepped out of the car, "Everyone in the whole school is invited."

As we walked in I felt my feet glue to the floor as my eyes widened, it was insane.

The lights were flashing thousands of colors as the dance party was packed. Music blared as I could barely hear myself think. People were making out, ripping off clothing and running around the house in bathing suits, with dripping wet hair.

"I figured you didn't want to swim!" He yelled loudly. Yeah, defiantly no way I was swimming.

I looked around with wide-eyes at everything, feeling myself grow extremely anxious, these were the type of parties that the cop show up too, busting everyone involved.

He grabs my arm, pulling me up to the bar, ordering us two shots, "Cheers to a wonderful night!" He yells over the loud music and laughing crowd.

He clinked our shots and tilted his head back, downing the whole thing.

I looked across the party, seeing a familiar face, it was Caspar. He was leaning against the wall, looking our way, making a small big of jealously grow inside of me.

I took a deep breath, tilting my head bag as I felt the bitter taste of vodka pass down my throat, making me gag. I closed my eyes as my throat was burning from the liquid. When I opened them JJ was laughing, "You'll get used to it quickly."

He then gets us two solo cups and fills them up with beer, "There!" He yells as the other boys walk up.

It was Josh, Freya, Ethan, Emily, Cal, Callum, Harry, and Caspar. I was honestly shocked they were all here. Everyone was holding drinks and laughing, we all clinked, taking a swig of our drinks. The beer tasted disgusting, but I held back the urge to gag.
