16 - The Party

Connor's P.O.V

C: "Hey Beth, you're looking great tonight!"

B: "Thanks you too!"

I gazed down at my light denim blue button down long sleeve T-Shirt, my denim blue jeans and my black and white kicks.

C: "Really?"

B: "Yep."

She said, as she entered my car.

Phew.

Glad she likes it. I spent a shit load of time picking it out unlike how I usually take 1 minute.

B: "So... tell me about the party we're going to."

C: "Oh well it's organized by the O2L guys and we all have to bring a person of the opposite gender, as I already told you, and a bunch of our really close friends are invited. Oh yeah, do you drink?"

B: "Um well I do but I keep my limits... especially at parties."

C: "Oh. I see, still conscious huh?"

B: "Um yeah I mean umm cos... I um... nevermind. Its complicated."

C: "I get it. Its great you're trying to be careful. Sorry for asking."

B: "Nah its no problem."

I smiled in return.

The rest of the car ride was silent.

I felt bad. I should have never asked.

It was strange she was still so conscious though, being that she's already 19... maybe she has a story behind it?

Probably. But I didn't ask... I didn't want to push it.

Bethany's P.O.V

After driving for 10 minutes, Connor's car finally pulled up in the driveway of a cream white house with a red brick roof which you could hear the music blasting from outside despite the door being closed.

C: "Here we are."

Connor said, breaking our silence.

B: "Oh um okay."

C: "He took the keys out of the key hole and stuffed them in his pocket.

He got out of the car and then rushed to help me open the door.

B: "Thanks."

I flashed him a smile.

C: "Anytime baby girl."

He smiled back, before ruffling my hair.

B: "Con! My hair!"

I groaned.

He smirked at me, before grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the entrance of the house.

Guess things between us are cool again.

As we entered the house, the loud music hit me, almost making my eardrums break.

That's what I get for not coming to a party for so long.

I looked around.

There were literally thousands of people.

Some were chatting and laughing, others were playing games, and others were... making out.

Ew.

I swear that was the first party I been to that was that crazy.

Connor must have noticed my worried look, because he reassured me by whispering in my ear, "Don't worry. You'll be fine. Just stay close."

He paused for a while before adding on, "Also remember to act like we're dating to any other guy you don't know or it'll become weird."

I nodded in reply, when a guy almost as tall as Connor approached us.

Guy: "Connor! Long time no see dude!"

C: "Yeah!"

They did that guy handshake thing.

Guy: "Who's the girl?"

He referred to me.

C: "Oh she's Bethany, my girlfriend."

He put his arm protectively, making me blush.

C: "Beth, this is Mark."

B: "Hi."

M: "Hey."

M: "Well Connor, would you like a drink?"

C: "Sure. Beth?"

M: "Um I'll pass. Thanks."

Mark smiled, before going off.

C: "C'mon, let's go introduce you to some people."

Connor was about to drag me away, when I stopped him.

B: "Wait Con."

C: "Yeah?"

B: "Can we make one rule?"

C: "Sure, what?"

B: "Please don't fight with anyone."

C: "Fight?"

B: "Yeah, don't fight with any other guys. Please. I don't like to see guys fight. Especially someone I know, like you."

C: "I will never, Beth."

He smiled, pinching my cheeks.

B: "Good."

He smirked, before pulling me away.

~

In thirty minutes, I was introduced to four more people - Jeremy, Brandon, Jim, and John.

They were all very tall and hot, though none of them bet Connor.

I was drinking a glass of water while Connor was drinking his second can of beer, and we were chatting in a corner, when a guy with dark green eyes around Connor's height appeared.

Guy: "Connor."

C: "Dan?"

Guess his name was Dan.

Guy: "Yep, correct."

Connor's smile disappeared, and his expression become dull and unhappy.

D: "Who's the beauty?"

He smirked, taking a good look at me, mostly at my chest.

Connor stretched his long arm and put it in front of my body.

"Beth, can you go somewhere else for a while? Come back in about 5.", he whispered softly in my ear, which I could hardly hear over the music.

I nodded, before I slipped away from the them.

That was... weird.

Connor said to stick close and now he sent me away.

What was that guy's identity?

I shook it off my head, and made my way to the toilet I found with the help of some people. I needed to go anyway.

In the toilet, I fixed my hair and make-up.

After I was done, I exited the toilet and went back to where Connor was, only to find...
