Consequences of the Heart

Chapter 47

Quinn's POV

I finally starting to loosen up by doing a couple of line dances with my friends, and soon enough the music suddenly stops and Anthony walks up to the DJ booth getting the attention of everyone at the party. "LET'S HEAR IT FOR THIS AMAZING DJ!" Anthony yells getting all of us to cheer with him. "I promise this isn't so sappy speech." Anthony laughs looking out at the massive crowd. 

"I definitely can say that I didn't expect this turn out, but I am glad to see that everyone is having a good time." Once again all of cheer as I look around for Brenton but don't see him anywhere. "I thought that we could give the DJ a much needed break and have some live entertainment." Anthony says getting a massive response from the crowed. 

"I thought you would all like that." Anthony says playing with the music. "Before you even start making your way up here Chris and Alexa, I am not talking about the two of you." Anthony jokes and that is exactly how Chris and Alexa take it as. "Since this song is a duet I certainly can't do it alone." Anthony grabs two microphones before walking out of the DJ booth looking out at the crowd.

 "And I couldn't think of anyone I would rather sing this song with then my beautiful girlfriend Amara." Amara looks at Anthony stunned as everyone tries to give her courage to get up and sing with him. 

"Please Amara." Anthony asks walking up to her as he starts singing 'Meant to be by Florida Georgia Line and Bebe Rexha' and then when it comes to Bebe Rexha's part he holds out the mic to Amara with a pleading look mixed with love. "You're lucky your cute." Amara says before taking the mic and starts singing with him. 

 Once the duet is over Anthony and Amara get a crowd pleasing reaction and the next thing you know I am playing beer corn hole with Caily, Alexa, Amara, and myself on one time against Emery, Chris, Anthony, and some other guy on the other time, then you Tiffany with Clay as referees. "COME ON CAILY!" Alexa yells as Caily lines up her shot and takes it making it in. "DRINK SUCKER!" Amara yells as Chris rolls his eyes but drinks the cup. 

"Alexa are you alright? I noticed that you are holding back tonight." I ask and a nervous look comes across her face but she covers it up with a smile. "I just haven't been feeling well tonight, and I don't think alcohol is the answer." I nod my head getting the feeling like something is off with her and I have been getting this feeling with her for a few months now.

 "You are up Quinn." Emery says as I grab one of bean bags and line up my shot but I end up missing the shot when Chris takes off his shirt. "That is not fair, I got distracted by your underhanded tactics." I laugh but Chris just shrugs and makes his shot. 

"Quinn." I give him a jokily dirty look before grabbing a cup and drinking it. "Alexa is your turn." Alexa sighs before getting up to take her turn but my attention go to Knox and Ridge who are walking my way with their girlfriends.

 "Have either of you seen Brenton?" I ask stepping their path and the two of them look at each other for a moment then back to me. "No we haven't seen him. He was supposed to play paintball with us, but before we could even start he stormed off." I give them a weird look because I thought that he was having a good time. 

"What happened to make him storm off." Knox doesn't answer me but shrugs his shoulders but Ridge on the other hand has a guilty look on his face. "You know how Brenton is when he loses his temper. It is best to let him be alone and cool off." I about to ask them something more but before I can they walk off and that is when I see Brenton walking towards me. 

"You alright?" I ask walking up to him seeing a mixture of emotions and expressions on his face. "I just need some alone time Marshmallow." Brenton's breathing heavy but when he looks down at me his expression changes into one of curiousness. "Have you been drinking?" He asks and I slightly nod my head.

 "I have had a few drinks. What is the big deal Brenton, we are at a party?" Brenton sighs and I am starting to think that me having a few drinks isn't what is getting him angry. "You are acting like an out of control party girl Quinn, and I think it is time that we headed home." Brenton reaches for my hand but I pull away from him. 

"If you want to leave then go head Brenton, but I am just starting to have fun and I will have one of my friends drive me home when I am ready." Brenton gives me a confused look. "All your friends have been drinking Quinn, and I am guessing by the time you decide to come him none of them will be in any shape to drive." My eyes go a little wide as I see someone that I was not expecting to show up tonight. 

Her dark brown is in a ponytail, she is wearing a lightweight open jacket with a black crop top that is basically her bra underneath, high waisted jean shorts, and high heels shoes. "What is she doing here Brenton?" I ask getting a little furious and Brenton seems to notice. "What are you talking about Quinn?" He asks matching my furious tone of voice, I turn him around before pointing to the girl and Brenton turns around looking before turning back to me with a sickly look on his face. 

"Mind telling me why Mandi Hazelwood is here?" I ask wondering if he is going to lie to me or tell me the truth because when it comes to Mandi is acts just like me when it comes to Nick which tell me everything I need to know.
