Black jeans- Corbyn Besson

Party

A couple of months have passed since Corbyn and I first met. My life has been pretty great ever since. We still haven't 'officially' told our friends we're dating. Zach, and Jack thought it was a good idea to throw a party at Max's house. Sheila and Tom were obviously pumped about it. We decided we were going to invite a few more friends apart from us. Max had a pretty large house; I wonder who's going to clean up the mess once's the party is over... It definitely won't be me. It wasn't my idea. We all decided to chip in and buy drinks, decorations, etc.

Sheila came over and we got ready together. We both wore matching yellow sundresses and a pair of jeans shorts underneath. I've seen too many movies where things go wrong, I wasn't taking chances. I slipped into a pair of vans and Sheila chuckled at my choice. Once we were done, we hopped into the jeep and headed towards the store. We grabbed some extra snacks and checked the time. "We're just on time, it's 6 PM." Sheila nodded and we pulled in to Max's street. We noticed a bunch of cars and I sighed; "They said they were only going to invite a few people."

Sheila and I each grab a bag of the snacks that we bought from the store. Before even getting out of the car, we could hear the music blasting music. We step out and head towards the doorstep. We knock a few times and were pulled in by a welcoming Jack. "Heeey guys- are these snacks? I'll take them; have fun- the 'juice' table is over there." I barely heard anything he said but just nodded. Jack danced away with the bags while Sheila and I looked around for the other boys. After getting around the rooms filled with bodies, we spot the boys. Daniel, Max, and Tom were chatting and laughing around with other guys. Zach and Jack were dancing around and jamming to the music. I finally spot Corbyn with Jonah speaking in the kitchen.

Once they spot us, their faces lit up. Jonah pulls Sheila into a hug; Corbyn and I do the same. "You look gorgeous, as always munchkin." I giggle and nuzzle my head into his chest. I raise my head and whisper into his ear. "You're always handsome, baby." I can feel the soft thumping in Corbyn's chest become more violent. I don't mention it but smile to myself. I look to the side and raise my eyebrow at Sheila. She was still in Jonah's arms. She giggled shyly and looked away. I giggled back and shook my head. Jonah and I made eye contact and I gave him a wink and pointed at Sheila. His face turned red and Corbyn pulls me away. "Let's leave those love-birds alone." I giggled as we walked around the house a bit. I waved at the rest of the boys as we passed by them; they smiled and continued to do their thing.

The rest of the party consisted of our whole friend group dancing around, playing games, and just having fun in general. Corbyn and I were dancing and it seemed to be getting dark. I glanced out one of the windows fascinatedly and I hear Corbyn chuckle. "You must really love sunsets." I giggled a little and tossed my arms around his neck, pulling him closer. He wrapped his arms around my waist and held me for a while, as we stared into the beautifully painted sky.

Suddenly, we heard a scream. The music stops. Everyone is confused and turns to see what's going on. "Get your hands OFF of me Tom!!" I quickly turn my face to where Sheila's voice is coming from. We spot Tom grabbing Sheila in all different ways and trying to kiss her. The guys and I run to her and get Tom off of her. Sheila's eyes water and she runs to me. Tom tries to run back to Sheila, but Jonah stops him. "What the fuck man?" Jonah is clearly frustrated by the situation and is trying his best to handle his emotions. Tom reeked of alcohol and was clearly in a distressed state. He ran his hands through his hair and sobs; "Why?!" Zach tried to calm him down. "Why, what Tom?"

Tom grunts through his sobs and slides to the floor. "Why don't you love me Aria?!" He lazily glances at Sheila. "You look amazing in that dress, and I can't even say it!" He continues to sob while staring at Sheila. "Why is it that HE gets you and I don't!?" He turns around looking for someone and continues to quickly wipe his teary eyes. "Where is he?!!" He continues to look around, and finally stares straight at Corbyn. "IT'S YOU." He wobbles his way to Corbyn and stumbles on a few people. "How is it that YOU got what I've been waiting for, for YEARS?!" He grabs Corbyn's hands and puts them on his own face. "How does it feel to touch the one I'm in love with? How does it feel to pull her close?" Tom sobs into Corbyn's hands.

I quickly note Tom's expression change from sadness to anger quickly after and squeeze Corbyn's hands. I couldn't watch this any longer. "Tom, calm down." Tom turns to me and his eyes water. "Why don't you love me? What does he have that I don't? I can't stand seeing you with him, and I still smile through it all." I could feel my eyes water. I don't know why, but I can feel anger quickly travel throughout my body. I swallow my tears and grit my teeth. "Why Tom? Why is it that every time I'm happy- even for a split second, and it doesn't regard you, you've got to jump in, and ruin it for me? What is your problem?" Tom's expression hardens up and he let's go of Corbyn's hands. I see that he steps toward me and speaks in a low voice, almost a whisper. "Is that how you really feel?" I nod my head.

Tom turns back to Corbyn and harshly grabs his hands once again. The other guys were about to step in, but Corbyn shook his head at them. Tom growls out; "If you EVER break Aria's heart, I will break these hands you touched her with. I'll SNAP every finger you've laid on her. Understood?" Corbyn keeps a straight face the whole time and says; "Understood." Tom let's go of Corbyn's hands for the last time and stumbles toward the couch. He sits back wailing; "Aria, come get your boooyfriend, let's raise a drink to the couple." I could feel tears trailing down my cheeks. I had never seen Tom in such a state. He was so helpless, so pitiful. It made me so angry.

I ran out the door.
