the unexpected // ian jeffrey

la parties p2

i found myself surrounded by drunk teenagers. bethan had a little too much to drink and sara got her hands on a bong and was tripping. i wasn't too convinced it was just weed. as i held bethan's hair, sara started turning the tap on and off; commenting about how cool the water flow was. i rolled my eyes and her and stroked bethan's back. then, ethan came into the bathroom and looked at bethan. i stood up as he rushed over to her.

"bethan? you're sixteen!" she tried to muster something back but just threw up on herself, just a little. ethan sighed and grabbed some toilet paper to clean her up. "can you get her some water? and find sara somewhere to lie down." i nodded but when i left the bathroom, i rolled my eyes. this isn't my first time dealing with these two being either drunk or high, i knew what to do. i made grayson give a glass of water to bethan as i dragged sara out to the pool.

"you're going to thank me for this later." she gave me a funny look before i pushed her into the pool. her body shot up and her bloodshot eyes locked with mine. i just smiled and laughed as more people started to jump into the pool. sara was lifted into the air by zane hijazi and then cheered at. i laughed once more before going to sit on a bench. 

a few people greeted me, but for a while, i sat alone. i thought about how crazy and unbelievable this summer had been. just a short while ago, i was taking my end of year exams, and tonight, i was at david dobriks party. i was friends with some of the most famous people in the internet, it didn't seem real. 

to snap me out of my thoughts, i was joined by someone. i looked up to see a face i didn't really recognise. he had brown hair, which was covered by a rainbow bandana. 

"hey, i'm taylor." he offered me his hand, and i shook it.

"i'm tegan. nice to meet you." we chatted for a short amount of time, before he started getting comfortable. his hand was rested on my thigh, and he kept sliding closer to me. i didn't feel uncomfortable, but i definitely didn't want this to go anywhere. "so, how old are you?"

"twenty-two, how about you?"

"sixteen." his face sort of looked...shocked.

"you don't look it. eh, that doesn't bother me." he started to lean closer to me. i saw him glancing at my lips. i pushed him away and stood up.

"it should." he stood up, too, and that's when i noticed how much taller he was. he towered over me. i'm not saying he was tall, i'm saying i'm short. "i think i'm gonna go-"

i started to walk away, but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back towards him. again, he tried to kiss me! i thought 'the audacity of this boy!'

"but it doesn't." i had to push him away, again. this dude! he kept trying it on with me, and in the end, i had to raise my voice, with the words 'no'. before he could react, i heard the words 'she said no!', before he was tackled to the ground. i looked down to see ian, on top of taylor, throwing punches his way. 

people started to crowd around, and i realised i needed to stop this. i bent over and started trying to pull ian off. i didn't even know why he was here, yet alone why he was in a fight with taylor. i continued trying to pull him away, but i couldn't do anything before taylor managed to take control and was on top. 

when i looked around, i noticed people were recording. taylor was really destroying ian. although taylor's face was pretty cut up, from ian's rings, ian was bleeding from his lip and cheek. i was dragged away, by, later learned, ethan, and taylor was pulled away by cameron dallas. 

ian was on the floor, and i ran over to help him up. i cupped his face and tried to calm him down. our eyes were locked, and i was trying to help him slow his breathing. he kept trying to look back at taylor, but i wouldn't let him. 

"just look at me." i repeated. eventually, he calmed down. i wrapped my arms around his neck, and allowed him to wrap his around me waist.
