Summer Love {Tomdaya//AU}

One

Hot and heavy. 

The room was slowly becoming hotter and filled with more people as I shuffled towards the outdoor area. The party was a non-invite, so anyone who came through the doors, was welcomed in with open arms. Parties like this make me wish I would have stayed home. All the other rooms are filled with drunken dancing and I can't bare to watch as teenagers and adults grind on each other. The moment I step off onto the patio, my body is hit with a blast of wind. It was colder than I had thought, but I had no choice at this point. The open window that I had made to get out on the deck, was gone. I rub my shoulders, looking around the deck. Two sets of couples were sitting on the bench, quietly talking between them. Their eyes watch me as I walk towards the small gate that led to a small amount of stairs. 

By now, I know they're probably making fun of the outfit I was wearing, or they were just trying to figure out what was going on. I shouldn't have worn the short dress with no sleeves, I was crazy for thinking that California wasn't going to get this cold. I go towards a small tree, where I could call one of my friends or maybe even Darnell, Austin, Julien, or one of my sisters.  I slide down the tree, where I sit on a root, hoping that I wouldn't get too wet. When I glance at the time, I realized just how screwed and how limited my chances on getting a ride would be. 

1:55 A.M. 

"Hey, we just started a fire near the pool. You look a little cold. You could come and join us if  you wanted," comes a male voice from above me. I look up and see a young man, who was probably right around my age, and he was wearing glasses. "I promise my friends won't make a fuss. They're pretty chill." 

The man holds his hand down to me and he helps me up from the ground. I gladly take his hand, following his motions. Once I'm standing up, he holds his hand back out to me. I grasp his hand in mine, giving him a somewhat firm handshake. What little alcohol that I have had, is starting to settle in. 

"I'm Jacob. And you are...?" 

"Zendaya," I say as he helps me towards the fire that looks beyond welcoming. As we get closer to the fire, I see three other boys. Jacob smiles at me as he makes one of his friends, who was sitting alone on a bench, scoot over so I could sit down. 

"Boys, I would like you to meet Zendaya. She's one of the few people who aren't completely wasted at this party." Jacob says as I feel my body slowly start to warm some more. However, it's not enough for me to stop rubbing my arms to try and warm my body even more. "Zendaya, from the left to the right. . . That's Tom, his brother Harry, and the boy next to you is Harrison. We're all pretty tight." 

I can't help myself, but I find my eyes trained on Tom the most. I was looking at the others, not sure of what to say, but Tom just had something about him that made my eyes look towards his the longest. After a second, Tom rises and motions Harrison to get up. Harrison sighs, grabbing his beer and moving to where Tom was sitting. 

"Here, take my jacket. I'm fairly warm and I can share my blanket with you," Tom says as he pulls his jacket off his arms. "You shouldn't be sitting out here cold." I'm drawn back by his British accent, but I can't help but find it adorable. "Do you have a ride home?"

"Actually, I'm not sure I have a ride home. I have to ask some of my family members and friends to see if I could get a ride. I know one of my friends is at this party, but she's long gone and I came with her." I respond as Tom covers my lap with the blanket. 

Darnell (received at  2:00 A.M): Zendaya, where in the hell are you? I've been trying to figure out when Eleanor is going to bring you home, and I am getting nothing out of her. 

Z (Delivered at 2:10 A.M.): She's beyond wasted, Darn. I have to find another way home. . . . Unless?

Darnell (received at 2:12 A.M.): Absolutely not! I am not dragging my ass out of my cozy ass bed to come and get you from a college frat party. I will tell  your parents that's where you ended up. You might have to stay there for the night, Z.
