12. The party (part 1)

Hands on me - Ariana Grande

************************************

-Joey's POV

Two days went by fast and soon it was saturday; party day. I was terrified at the idea of meeting almost all the school tonight. Britney had chosen my outfit and organised the feast. I must say that she is really good at work.

At seven the guests started entering the farmhouse. Taking a deep and long breath, I walked into the big living room in a pair of black jeans, a sweater and a navy blue shirt.

"Here goes nothing.." I mubbled before smiling at the crowd.

-Jenny's POV

As promised, Rick came to pick me up and I entered the party while holding his arm. There were butterflies in my belly and I held onto him so as not to fall on my face. I couldn't believe my luck to be at this party tonight.

"Do you want a drink?" Rick asked sweetly.

"A coke would be fine.. Thanks."

He went to fetch the drinks while I stared at the well-decorated house. Rocking music was playing in the background and some people were dancing. As I looked around, I saw Joey sitting on the couch with Britney and Nate. The latter was the first one to catch my eye. He was wearing a grey t-shirt, black pants and vest which complimented his dark eyes. He was handsome but less than Joey. As for Britney, she wore a strapless white dress with black stiletos and had her hair thrown down her back. The three of them seemed to pop out of a celebrity magazine.

"Here you go beautiful." Rick came back with two glasses and handed me one.

"Uh.. Are you drinking?" I asked. Afterall he was going to drive me back.

"Yeah.. and so are you," he replied with a smirk.

"No, I meant alcohol."

"It's only punch and I know how to control myself.. I'm not much of a drinker you know," he said proudly.

"Now I do!" I smiled, relieved. "Why did you ask me to be your date tonight?" I asked out of blue startling the two of us. I'd been wanting to ask this but not so suddenly.

"W-well.. I-I.." he stammered looking lost. Just as he took a deep breath as if to finally speak, a relatively drunk girl linked arms with Rick..

"Hi cutie.. A dance?" She said seductively. Her tight dress showed all her curves and stopped at the middle of her thighs.

"Um.. sorry but I've a date so-" Rick began to refuse but he was interrupted by the girl.

"Oh come on! Don't be a bore.. your girl seems quite nice and I'm sure she doesn't mind! Right sweetie?" The question was asked to me. Of course I mind stupid slut! Don't you see that he is my date?

Before I had the time to voice out my thoughts, she had dragged Rick to the dancefloor. I perhaps imagined a small apology smile from the latter but I wasn't sure..

Here I was, alone at my first party while my date is dancing his ass off. Seeing that they were both enjoying themselves, I made my way to the mini-bar where I grabbed the first bottle I saw and took several sips as the coke wasn't chilled and I needed somthing to cool me down. It had a horrible taste but somehow helped me to relax. I drank some more until I felt my head light but my bladder heavy. I was glaring at Rick across the room when a voice chuckled beside me.

"That was my drink." Oh my gosh..It was Nate!

"Y-your.. d-drink? Y-you mean it's alcohol?" I asked alarmed.

"Yup.. Vodka to be precise. Seeing that you drank nearly half of the bottle you probably like it a lot, right?" he smirked.

"N-no I.. It's the f-first time.." I started to explain myself but a nauseous feeling took over and the second later I had puked on Nate's shoes!

"Ewww! What the fuck girl!" he grumbled. I would've apologised but my vision went slightly blurry and I lose awareness of the world around me. All I could feel clearly were strong arms pushing me up the stairs and laying me onto a bed.

"What.. are you.. doing?" I slurred.

"Just getting you to rest. Do you want some water?" Nate asked calmly.

"No.. j-just call.. Abby please," I replied sleepily.

"Okay, hang on."

I could hear him searching for my phone in my purse. Normally I wouldn't let anyone do that but I was helpless.

-Abby's POV

"Beeeeeeeep beeeeeeeep!"

Who could be calling me now? One glance at the caller ID told me that it was Jen.

"Hey Jen! How's the party-"

"It's not.. Jen. She's sort of wasted here. Could you come over?"

"Who are you? What do you mean by wasted? Where is Rick?" I slightly raised my voice.

"I'm Nate.. and I'd rather explain the rest when you are here."

"Fine, I'll be there in 10!" I was already grabbing my dad's car keys. Even if I was a still a teenager, I knew how to drive and at that moment, I couldn't care less about getting a ticket.

Too many POVs? I hope it's not too confusing..

Abby is finally going to the party.. what do you think will happen? ;)
