Blind (Harry Styles)

Chapter 8

She hung up the phone and I quickly walked to my dresser, unsure what to wear. I scanned my closet and saw a pair of dark blue skinny jeans that hugged my legs tightly. When I squeezed them on I found a spaghetti strap tank top. It was dark, navy blue that flowed loosely. I paired the outfit with black wedges and a black clutch.

When I walked to the mirror I looked at my image and smirked, approving my outfit. I quickly rushed to the bathroom and started applying make up. My lips were dark maroon color, and my eyes popped with thick mascara. I left my hair natural, the waves made it look thicker.

My phone was placed on my bed and I picked it up. 7:20pm. Just then, a text from Theo appeared on my screen.

Theo: I'm on my way!

Just from her text, I could tell she was excited. My heart fluttered when I noticed I was excited to. I don't know why I kept imagining the party though. It was the first legit party I've gone to, and I didn't know what to expect. I had a swarm of butterflies erupt in the pit of my stomach. I ran down stairs to tell me parents I was leaving.

"Promise," My mum said, surprising me. I didn't expect her to be in the kitchen. "Someone's jumpy, yeah?"

"Mum, you scared me." I giggled walking closer to her. She was tossing salad; cooking for my dad and her.

"Sorry," she chuckled. "When are you leaving?"

"Uh.. Like now. Theo should be here any min-" I was cut off from the text alert. "Speak of the devil. She's here." I smiled at my mum, turning on my heal and making my way to the entrance of my house.

"Bye, be safe okay? And have fun." She smiled at me as I pranced down the walk way.

"See ya, Mrs. Elizabeth!!" Theo called to my mom from her car. I hopped in the front seat, and we were off.

I turned on the radio and Nirvana blared out the speakers. We sang along, not caring about a thing in the world, until we pulled up to Zany's house. I turned the music off and Theo and I just sat in her car in awe.

There was a huge house filled with partying young adults. Music was played extremely loud, and you could feel the bass from the car. I looked over at Theo and her eyes where huge. She was just as shocked as I was.

"Oh my gosh." She said under her breath. She squealed and a huge smile appeared on her face, which made me smile as well. "Come on Promise!!" She stepped out of the car. "Let's party!"

I got out of the car we both squealed in excitement, fast walking to the door.

"When you show up to that party you'll have to get through one of us, I think it's Liam." Louis's voice played through my head.

We opened the door and walked in. I looked around and intoxicated body's where everywhere. Even though the party just started, I'm sure they where already drinking before.

"Ladies!" A voice shouted over the music. I turned to see a tall, attractive boy with brown sparkling eyes. I looked on his neck where Louis had a tattoo, that apparently they all had. I was right, just below his ear a circle with a slash through it was inked onto his body. "What's your names?"

"I'm Promise, this is Theo." I shouted back.

"Oh, I've heard about you two. Lou's sister right?" His attention diverted to Theo, who nodded her head. "Okay, He's in the back yard just incase you where wondering."

"Thank you," I told him.

He turned around and started talking to other people.

"Be on your toes, alert. Keep your guard up."

"Let's go outside?" I yelled at Theo.

We walked around the large house that smelled like alcohol. Once we made it to the back house, two huge glass doors where opened leading to the yard. More people where in the pool, hot tub, and around the tables.

"Who lives here? They're freaking rich!" I told Theo, able to speak properly because we weren't in the loud house.

"Zany, his parents have the money." She makes the money sigh with her hands and laughs. "Oh look! It's Lou." She pointed to the familiar brunet who was laughing hysterically at something a blond boy said.

"Why hello Theo, Promise." Louis says, looking at the two of us. He doesn't see Theo as a sister, more like a friend. They are only 10 months apart so they're pretty close in age.

"Introduce us." She instructs with a smile.

"Oh right!" He places the beer that was in his hand in the table that was in front of him. "Theo, Promise, this is Niall." The blond had a huge smile on his face, and extended a hand for us to shake.

"Nice to meet you, ladies. Heard a lot about you two." He seems like a nice guy.

"You met Liam right?" Louis asked.

"Yeah, he let us in." I told him.

"Great! I'll go find Harry, be back in a sec." He turned on his heal and left the two of us with Niall.

"So, you go to school with Zayn?" He questioned.

"Yep, he's in most of our classes." Theo told him blushing a bit.

"He's something else, ain't he?" His American accent cause Theo to giggle and me smiling in amusement.

I felt a small tap on my shoulder and spun around. Zayn's grin made me shiver.

"Hello, Promise. Didn't think you where actually going to show up."

"What's that supposed to mean? You told us to come, so we did." I said, teasing.

"Woah, don't get your panties in a bunch, I'm just surprised." He raised his eyebrows teasing back. I could smell alcohol on his breath.

"How much have you had to drink?" I asked him with no emotion in my voice.

"I dunno," he slurred, "like a couple bottles." I looked over my shoulder and Theo and Niall where hitting it off.

"That's nice, Zayn. I'll leave you to it, yeah?" I patted his shoulder and walked away.

Trying to find Louis was harder than I thought. There where so many bodies and by the time I made my way in and out of the house I probably walked a mile and saw more faces than I have in a week.

"Promise! I was looking for you!" Louis shouts over the music. "Let's go outside where we can actually talk." He chuckled and led me back outside.

By this time, my feet where killing me and my ears where ringing. He lead me out onto the yard and walked back to the chairs that Niall and Theo where sitting on, still having a blast.

"Oh shoot!" Louis said under his breath. "Uh, will you come with me again? I still have to introduce you to Harry." He winked and got up leading me to the pool. I scanned the surrounding area, looking for the familiar tattoo. Just then, I felt a firm tap on my left shoulder, not like Zany's light one and not like Louis's quick one.

I turned around a saw, what I'm guessing was, Harry. He was dripping from the pool, with his dark curls were falling on his forehead before he pushed them back up into place. His cheeks where a slight shade of pink and he was out of breath.

"Hello, I'm Harry." When he smiled his dimples went far into his cheeks. His pearly white teeth shinned.

"Hi." I said shyly. "Promise."

"Nice to meet you Promise. You wanna go for a swim?" He asked politely.

"Once you meet him you probably wonder why he hangs out with us. He's polite to strangers, a caring guy." Louis was right. He was very polite and sweet.

"I would, but I wasn't told there would be swimming, so I don't have a suit." I said.

"Oh no bother!" Louis cut in. "Zayn has a sister. Go into her room and borrow one."

Uh... Can I do that?

"Oh, um okay. Where is her room?"

"I'll show you." Harry offered.

"Okay." I smiled and he started to walk up to the house.
