When The Sun Goes Down.

Chapter 8

"Alex... Your on in 5!" Shouts a voice from inside the bar.

Alex slowly pulls away. He winks at me and walks off back in to the bar, leaving me alone, flustered and above all... Confused.

I take a step inside the bar and look for the closest toilets. Luckily there is some right next to the exit and i quickly walk in there. As soon as I walk in I take a look in the mirror I gasp and the view.
I look a disgrace! My cheeks are bright red, I literally have no mascara left in my eyelashes and my red lipstick is smudged all over my mouth!

I quickly get some tissue and wipe off the excess lipstick that has found its way to my chin and apply some more. I quickly apply some mascara and rush out of the toilets.

As soon as I get out their Miles is stood looking around and as soon as he sees me, he runs towards me.

"Ez! Where have you been? What did Alex want? Are you okay?!" Miles' words come out pretty fast.

"Whoa! Calm down Miles! This isn't 20 questions! I was out side talking to Alex and I'm fine!" I say.

"You never answered one of my questions. What did he want?" He asks sounding very intrigued.

"Erm he, I... He wanted to see if I was okay after today..." God, I'm so bad at lying!

"Esmeè... I'm just warning you so don't take it the wrong way... But please don't get involved with Alex. I'm worried that you might! He's a lady's man and all he will do is use you and the throw you away like a used toy."

What? Does he know about me kissing him? And I'm defiantly not getting involved with Alex!

"Miles! I'm not getting involved with anyone!"

" I know but I know when you lying Ez..." He says.

I let out a deep frustrated sigh and walk away before my temper takes over. I have a pretty bad temper and lately I'm doing very well controlling it. Like now,I just walk away before I explode and take someone's head off... Literally! I confuse a lot of people when I get angry because apparently no one has seen a sweet Irish girl kick of before.

I go and sit on the couch and count to 10. I calm my self down then a girl comes and sits next to me. She's very petit and thin. I look up at her and realise it's Breana McDow! Woah...

"Hi! You must be Esmeè! I'm Breana, Matts girlfriend." She says.

"Hi nice to meet you I say" my anger has dissolved pretty fast now that Breana is here.

"It's nice to see a female around here! I'm usually just sat here by myself!"

I laugh "I honestly though I was gonna be the only girl!" I say to her.

She laughs back "It's pretty boring sat doing nothing. Anyways, if you don't mind me asking, what's going on between you and Alex?"

"What do you mean?" I'm pretty confused? She can't know about the kiss or kisses should I say.

"Well he hasn't stopped looking at you since you've been here!" She says.

"What? He hasn't?" I say. With that I turn from Breana and look at Alex. She's right. He is looking at me.

It might just be coincidence.

"See..." Breana says with a smile on her face and her eyebrows raised.

"We are just friends honestly" I say. I think that true. It sounds legit so it will do.

"Come on! Tell us the details! I'm not gonna tell any one!" She says and pouts.

I sigh "well we have kissed but nothing else." I admit.

"I knew it! I won't tell anyone don't worry." She assures me.

Miles walks over and stands in front of me.

"Ez can I speak to you a sec please?"

"Yeah" I respond.

We walk to the area near the toilets were the music is a little more quieter.

"I'm really sorry for presuming you were getting involved with Alex. I'm just worried about you! Your like my lil' sister and I don't want you to get hurt babe!"

"Miles it's fine! Don't worry about it. And I'm sorry for reacting like that!"

"Hey you never blew up! That's great! Atleast your controlling your temper!" He praises.

"I know I handled it pretty well! Anyways I better get back to Breana so she's not sat on her own."

I walk back over to Breana and Miles walks back to were the boys have gone now they have finished.

"Hey! The boys have gone back stage. You coming to see them?" She asks.

"Yeah come on!" I smile and we both walk back stage.

As soon as we get there Breana goes to see Matt and Alex walks over to me. Great.

"Y'alright love?" He asks oblivious to what happened before he went on stage.

"Yeah you?" I ask. I'm pretty surprised by the smoothness of my voice. I'm so calm. I guess it's better than embarrassing myself by being to enthusiastic.

"Yeah darl. You coming to the party tonight? Miles is coming." He asks.

"Who's party is it?"

"A friend called Dom. He's a pretty cool guy. You'll like him" He responds.

I'm not sure about this but if Miles is going what's the worst that could happen?

"Erm yeah sure why not!"

"Good." He smirks and walks off.

Oh my god he's so infuriating! I'm still debating wether he meant what he said to me or not.

I walk over to Miles.

"What's going on with this party then?" I ask as I'm still not 100% sure what's going on.

"Well firstly we'll go home cos I need to change cos dick head over 'ere-" he motions to Jamie. "spilt beer all over me, then we'll get a taxi to Doms." He says ad if it's as simple as the ABC.

"Miles I don't even know who this 'Dom' is!"

"Ez! It's fine I know him and I'll be with you" he says.

"Okay, well away then let's get home and get sorted." I say.

We say by to the lads, Alex winking, get in to my car and drive home.
