AUGUST 7TH

I hated the smell of alcohol and the sound of the music.Clubs were just irrelevant places to get drunk and grind with sweaty bodies on the dance floor that was always crowded.And it was beyond me why Gina would bring me here when I last I checked I was underage, fifteen to be exact.I just sat there by the older men and women who were drinking there life away with liquor and of course Gina was jumping up and down like a complete idiot.

I rolled my eyes at the sight, I didn't want to be here.I would rather be at home snuggled up in my blankets while reading a book but my "responsible" aunt decided it was a better idea to take her niece clubbing instead.

Maybe someone else would be way more excited to come to here but me, well that's a completely different story."Do you want anything to drink?" The bar tender asked me when I honestly wasn't even paying attention.I nodded and asked for a water, which I thought they wouldn't have but actually did.Would you look at that this place isn't so useless.

"What, are you trying to be sober or something?" His deep voice startled me as I rotated my head to the side.I look at him from head to toe ,even though it was dark I could still see his muscular frame and tattoos on his arm and collarbone.His black hair was lightly highlighted with blonde streaks and his eyes I believe were a dark brown but it twinkled from the flashing lights."No I'm just not in the mood for liquor." I lied.He chuckled shaking his head, and I stared at him wondering what smart ass type of comment he was going to say next.

But I before I knew it he moved closer to me."I'm Calum, and you are?" I didn't even know if I should tell him or just lie once again.Maybe it wasn't such a hard decision but it was for me.Only at the stupidest reasons I didn't know what to do."I'm Eli." Hopefully I don't regret that.

"Nice to meet you." I just nodded my head as I took a sip of my water.Things did got awkward until he spoke up."How old are you, cause you honestly look like your sixteen." No, I'm fifteen I thought and didn't know what to say at the moment.

"No I'm eighteen, why does everyone think that?" I smiled nervously as he nodded and replying me too.Although he was older I felt like he had a child inside him maybe even a young personality, but for me well you could say I have an old soul.While everyone was playing sports or doing stupid things to the teacher I would sit back and finish my homework or read once again.Of course I was often called a nerd I still enjoyed what I did."You look familiar." I finally spoke up looking up to him as his smile began to grow and with my curiosity I wondered why.

"Well I am in a band, but we kinda suck." I grinned staring at his face, he may be way older but damn, he was attractive."Is that so? Whats the name of your band?" I didn't know his smile could grow any bigger until it did, and I liked it too.

"Five Seconds of Summer." He replied as my grin faded at the realization of me talking to him, a famous person.That's when I soon noticed it, I was never a big fan but I knew a couple of songs."You guys sang that underwear song, right?" He chuckled nodding as I didn't know what was so funny and I was about to ask until Gina and her wasted friends came to my side.

"Eli we are going home." She slurred and giggled at the end of her comment as I rolled my eyes and responded to her idiotic mentioning."We can't go home if you and your friends are fucking drunk." She looked at me shocked at first, then bending down a bit from her tall heels and putting her finger on my lips giving me a signal of being quiet."Hey watch your language."

"Why can't you just drive them?" And that was the side affect of lying, them assuming I can do things I can't."She can't drive when she's f-" I cut Gina off before she could blow my cover as I answered a little loud at first, "I really don't feel comfortable driving at night so I don't do it." His mouth formed into an "O" as I saw him think until he said what I didn't expect ,"Well if you want I can drive you? "
