        Smiling as I walked past people who greeted me warmly, I walked to the center of the room. I came to the party with Lux and Elena by my side. I hadn’t seen where Jules was yet but I knew that I’d find him soon. I have always been a person who loved to party. I made sure I had enough to do my work for school, but I could never really resist a good party. I had felt drained of energy and upset on the way here but after spending a few minutes in the party environment, I had started to feel a little better. When I was offered a beer bottle, I gladly accepted it. I was a drunky but did like the buzz of beer. “How are you feeling?” I heard Lux ask over the loud music. “Better” I replied. But when I caught sight of Silas any sort of worry lifted but a new kind of worry set in. He saw me as well and smiled. That was a good sign at least I thought. So whatever had happened today must’ve been just a mishap… Building up my confidence I told Lux and Elena that I was going to see another friend. They both nodded and headed towards the kitchen. When I got closer to Silas, I saw him say something to the people talking to him, and then he walked to me. Like always, a few girls were staring at him with hungry wanting eyes. He ignored them like every other time I saw him. The girls never seemed to faze him or distract him. “Hey” I said to him, preparing myself for an awkward conversation. Silas took me by surprise by grabbing my arms, pulling me close to his chest and kissed me; hard. Automatically, I kissed him back. Having him hold me felt so… right. I held his head in my hands and grabbed onto his soft hair. Unlike last time, his kiss was hungry and urgent. Whatever doubt I was feeling towards him and all the people around us faded away and all I could feel were his warm lips on mine. Stopping only to take a breath, he kissed me until all I could think of was him. When we finally broke apart, he had me in his arms in a warm embrace. My eyes were still closed, taking in the feelings I had in that moment. It was then that I decided that I loved him. I knew that I had only just met him, and that I was too young to really know what was love but what I felt around him was impossible to compare to anything. I have never felt so much emotion to one person before; especially the emotions of love and happiness. Whatever was going to happen with us I knew that he wasn’t going to disappoint me. That moment was also when I opened my eyes to see people staring at us. I didn’t notice that the chatter in the room had died down and all eyes were on us. I was shocked and quickly backed away from Silas. He grabbed my arm and held me firmly, reassuring me that everything was okay. All eyes were on us but the pair of eyes that took my breath away belonged to Jules. His facial expression looked horrified and hurt. He had his mouth open in shock and there were glass shards around his feet. He must’ve dropped whatever he was holding when he saw us… Oh no. He saw me kissing Silas. I don’t really know why that fazed me but I knew that Jules always had thing for me. Lux and Elena always teased me about it but I had always just brushed it off. Seeing him in that state just drew the breath out of me and I held Silas’s hand even tighter. Lately, I thought that I had started to develop feelings towards him so I must’ve led him on to the fact that I liked him. It was a wrong thing to do, especially since I was never really sure of my feelings. Whatever feelings I had towards Jules vanished when I met Silas. He was still my best friend, but I just didn’t him the way he liked me. I felt a giant weight settle on my chest and I closed my eyes momentarily. The chatter in the room grew and soon, everyone was back to partying as the song Steal My Girl by One Direction started to play. That was one of my favourite songs but song didn’t bring me joy like usual, the guilt I felt as I looked at Jules consumed me. I held Jules’s gaze and then I looked at Silas. He gave me a thoughtful smile and nodded. Then just like that, I walked over to Jules.
