"THIS IS MY MOTHERFUCKING SONG!"Bella screams whipping her hair around and waving her hands in the air.

My drunk state can't help but join in as we both swing around our air guitars and jump uncontrollably to the 90's song.

I'm almost in tears of laughter as Bella gets down onto her knees and begins to crawl across the floor as if she's in some epic movie scene.Some random guy quickly catches on to what she's doing and begins to reel her in with his imaginary fishing pole,I've never seen anything like it before.

An audience begins to form around them and I try my hardest,but end up getting pushed away from the main event.

But I'm so in the moment.And it doesn't stop my body from dancing like it's never danced before,I just feel so light and happy like I could explode with this spontaneous energy I've discovered.

Letting go has never felt so good and I just wish to hold on to the feeling while it lasts.

So I run my hands down my body whilst swaying my hips to the beat of the music,the sound races through my veins as I lift my hands into the air.

This newly found confidence convinces myself to dance with someone,anyone.So I move over to a girl with silky auburn hair in a pixie cut,thinking she looks like some fun.

"Oh shit you're a dude."I whisper to myself in utter shock as he spins around,

"Last time I checked yeah,"he says with an amused look upon his face.

"My bad,I thought you were a girl,"I giggle in embarrassment,looking down "I'm gonna continue dancing on my own anyway,"

"You think I can't dance?"He questions putting his beer down on a nearby ledge,

I know where this is going "I mean,I don't know,you're a guy," I sneer playfully.

"That sounds like a challenge to me,"he says closing the space between us,

I mouth to him 'maybe it is'

And so it begins, my body takes its course spinning and swaying wherever it wishes,and so does his.He has his hands on my waist as we move in sync like we've known each other forever.

He spins me around so that my backs to him and he leans over my shoulder with his head in the crook of my neck,

"I believe you owe me an apology Valentina ,"he jokes,and only then do I realise his thick British accent,

Wait a second,
I don't recall telling him my name...

Noticing my position of vulnerability with his hands around my neck,I duck out from his hold and come up to face him,I tap his nose as if he's a baby,"I don't owe you anything,pretty boy,"and disappear into the crowd as fast as I can.

Nothing like before,fear spreads through my body and something just feels off.

I feel as if I'm being watched,like someone's following me.

I don't know,maybe I'm just overthinking.That guy probably over heard me talking to Bella or something and picked up my name.

Maybe I did tell him,but just forgot.

Or maybe he's a stalker,a creep,a rapist,a-

A strong hand grabs at my shoulder and I have to stop myself from screaming.

Not even thinking about what I'm doing,I knee the person,where I'm presuming his Crown Jewels and pull his hand behind his back.

The ma...woman?

Shit.
What's wrong with me today?!

"Miss West,"she winces in pain,"I mean no harm,just please let me go."

My stance calms,she seems so familiar with her long black hair,

"You remember me,no?"She asks dusting herself off,"I'm Lola,I belong to The Archers,we met at your initiation night."

"Oh yes,Lola.What do you want?"I ask,slightly irritated,

"Rowan would like to see you,"

Of course,

I roll my eyes "Well tell Rowan I'm busy,"and with that I begin to walk off,

"Miss West,it's important,"she says as if she's pleading,

I almost feel bad for the girl,and to be honest it's the least I can do for attacking her,"Fine,where is he?"

"Right this way Miss,"she smiles holding her hand out

Lola guides me through the sweaty people as carefully as she could,like I'm precious cargo or something.And I'm just beginning to wonder where Bella is,getting separated at parties seems to be a common theme for us.Im just about to ask Lola If we can go look for her,when someone approaches me,

"Where did you go Val,I've been looking for you!"

Fuck.

His auburn hair is barely visible and his accent not even noticeable,but the chills that flew down my spine were undeniable, and my first instinct was to run.

Lola who was once leading,was now being dragged by me as I barged through the crowd like a bull seeing red.

And I didn't stop until we got to the corner of the room where you can look over the entire floor,I cling onto Lola's hand for dear life as I scanned the floor to see if he was following us.

He wasn't,but what I saw next was just as bad.

Olly Givan walked through the entrance and we immediately made eye contact.

It seemed that Lola noticed too,and within the blink of an eye she dragged me up some stairs that led to the roof top.
