Waves at once

Chapter 28

Chapter 28

"And who the fuck does he think he is?! Telling me what the fuck I can and can't do! I'll do whatever the fuck I want" I shout as I storm up and down the closet space as I try to get ready for the party "and then he kept on using the word 'break' and not 'break up' as if it were illegitimate" I continue to rant as Ellie keeps quiet, carefully starring at the mirror doing her makeup blissfully "he's absolutely despicable, I can't believe him" I groan. My hair was filled with big chunky curlers as I walked around in a white robe.

I sat at the edge of my bed taking a sip of my cocktail as I tried to soothe my nerves "diabolical" I mutter as I take another sip

"You're supposed to get drunk at the party" Ellie jokes and I playfully roll my eyes as I put it down.

"And I'm gonna go to Andrew's house and I am going to sleep with him and Oliver can't tell me shit." I begin plotting away my vengeance "and I'm gonna make him feel it...all of it, the pain and the hurt the vicious storm and those stupid, stupid waves" I hit the edge of my bed. I was fuming, more than fuming. I was absolutely livid.

"Okay Calm down, you sound like Ursula from the little mermaid" Ellie tries to joke and I simply shake my head "and what waves are you talking about?" She asks glancing at me with slight concern. I simply sigh attempting to calm myself down.

"Never mind, just disregard that" I sigh and I fall back on to bed trying to find inner peace.

"Juliet, you look hot, you have the enticing personality- stop worrying about some stupid ex and go out there and have a good night"

But he wasn't just a stupid ex

"'ll try" I sigh sitting up before huffing in frustration.

It was all so loud. Red carpets weren't necessarily my favorite thing as everyone kept yelling your name and telling you what to do and constantly begging ushered to have an interview. And to make matters worse, I was forced to stick by Oliver's side and pretend as if we were a cute happy loved up couple... something we were quite the opposite of.

"You look lovely tonight" Oliver whispers in my ear and I simply nod as I focus on the cameras, trying to drown out his presence.

 Eventually, we reach the end of the carpet and the entrance to the party. This music was loud and the venue was filled with all sorts of fashion icons and celebrities.

I immediately drop Oliver's hand as I pick up a glass of champagne but Olly returns his hand to my lower back as we begin engaging in conversation with other people.

"Well aren't you a little young to be drinking?" A voice says and I turn around only to look up at an old dear friend of mine

"Devon" I smile hugging the tall blond beauty as she laughs throwing her luscious blonde hair back

"I haven't seen you in ages" she smiles widely as she always did with her bright green eyes "you're never in New York anymore"

"Sorry, I'm still minor, not all of us are 21 yet" I laugh "how's work?"

"Great actually! I just booked Victoria's Secret" and I gasp as I pull he in it another hug, extremely happy on her behalf

"Devy! I'm so proud of you oh my god" I squeal

"Thank you" she smiles kissing my cheeks "well I when to dash, but I'm hoping we can catch lunch before Paris?"

"Of course"  I smile and the tall slim blonde bids her final goodbye before walking away

"Since when did you become a friend with Devon Windsor?" Olly ask with a raised eyebrow

"I'm friends with a lot of people" I simply answer blankly

"And I am one of then" An arm falls around my shoulder and I lookup

"Hey, Andy" I smile greeting the charming lad as him and Oliver do the typical guy hug and immediately jump into the conversation as I stand in between the two, as I always did.

"Where's Ellie... I thought she was your date?" I ask Andrew

"she's talking to Brooklyn"

"Oh my god is he here!" I jump excited and he nods

"Yeah, but they're like two seconds away from fucking so I think you'll catch him tomorrow morning in the hotel" He jokes and I can't help but laugh. Brooke and Ellie had always been friends with benefits, it was somewhat amusing although apart of me wished they'd actually become a couple. The thought of Ellie and Brooklyn suddenly makes me realize just how deprived I had been since the break-up... and Andrew was looking rather ravishing.

"Oliver, would you please get me another drink" I look at the brunette haired boy who stares at me for a moment, hesitant to leave but eventually he nods and walks away, leaving me alone with Andrew.

I smile up at the blue-eyed boy, forcing him to engage with my emerald eyes. He simply chuckles as he runs a hand through his hair looking around before looking back at me.

"Couldn't even wait a few more minutes" he teases and I laugh lightly "how long should I give you?"

"Perhaps give it two hours" I sigh " the party has only just begun" he pulls a face of slight annoyance before nodding in agreement

"Where are the bathrooms anyway?" He asks and I raise an eyebrow as he smiles at me "just a little taster" he comments

"So that's what you call it?" I raise an eyebrow as I smirk up at him mischievously. And he coach's his head with a smirk

"Something like that I suppose" he teases and I can't help but giggle but before I can respond someone taps me on the shoulder and I turn around only to have a photographer ask to take a photo of the two of us.

Andrew wraps his arm around my waist and leans in closer to me as I stare straight ahead at the camera smiling before I look up only to see him starring down at me, I can't' help but laugh causing him to laugh as the photographer thanks us and moves onto his next victim

"Here's you drink" Oliver interrupts us and Andrew quickly moved his hand away from my waist.

"Thanks" I sigh as I draw my attention elsewhere. Slightly annoyed by Oliver's disturbance.Arms fall around my waist again and I quickly snap my head back as Oliver, pushing them off immediately

"Oliver don't" I snap viciously and he furrows his eyebrows on confusion. I decide to walk off and find other people to entertain me as he was the last person I wanted to be around.
