Chapter Twenty

Emilia's POV:

OMGosh is that even me. I just stared at myself in the mirror, the girl i'm staring at doesn't even look like me. The girl i'm looking at is wearing a mid thigh red dress with a gold belt thingy and the dress flowed out, she was wearing Jeffrey Campbell's 'lita' shoes that are tan-ish colour that also match the dress. The girl also had her blonde hair in a low chignon, with two light curls by her face, she also had a bit of make up on that included eyeliner, mascara, light brown smokey eyes and a tinge of red lipstick.

"You look AMAZING, Em." Phebs gushed, with her hands over her mouth,

"She's right you know, you look absolutely FABULOUS," Ava said in a rather diva tone and a click of her fingers,

Just then mom walked by the room and had to retrieve her steps and just stared at me, an amazed look on her face, like when she was so amazed when she went overseas for the first time. Yep that's how amazed she was, and an excited amazed. A smile placed on her lips as she came over and hugged me, which i returned,

"Sweetie, words don't explain how beautiful you look right now." she whispered in my ear,

"Dylan choose the right dress for me, honestly i wouldn't have chosen such a dress but this dress actually looks good,"

So you might have already guessed but we are getting ready for the party. The girls redid my make up to a more glamour look and it suited the dress to say the least, especially since i don't wear make up or dresses. It was around six fifteen and Dylan would be arriving soon with the rest of the guys.

Ava was wearing a black cutout dress with a high-low hem and black closed in heels, along with a smokey eye and a light pink lipstick. Her brown long hair was straightened. Phebs was wearing a teal coloured mid thigh dress with lace on that hugs her chest area, that flows out at the bottom and has open sides, she was also wearing black closed in heels with a large bow on the top of her foot, along with smokey eyes also, with a nude colour lipstick. Her blonde medium hair was out in soft waves.

"We all look good," i exclaimed, "Have a eye on any particular guy tonight?" i asked with a small smirk, i haven't really gotten to know the girls much, especially about any relationships or guys they like,

I saw Phebs tinge a light pink, she looked down at the floor so it looked like i didn't notice but i did. Ava well if she did she is good at hiding it,

"Nope," Phebs said rather to fast, popping the p, but you could tell by she was hiding something, maybe she wants to keep it a secret,

"Nah, i think i'll check out the guys when we get there." Ava told us and i nodded with a smile not going to ask Phebs cause maybe she doesn't want us to know... yet,

"Ohkk"

Dinnggg Doonnggg

I got cut off by the door bell, i looked at the girls but they shrugged. Hmm, i walked towards the door being careful not to trip on my way down with the girls in tow. I reached the door and looked through the peep hole to see, Leon. That is weird cause he never mentioned coming to mine before the party yesterday,

"Hey," i said as i opened the door,

"Sup, ready to party." he asked bobbing his head, i quirked my brow with a smirk,

"Uhuh, well come in," i opened the door further to let him in and i turned around to see the girls expressions, Ava was confused and Phebs she looked like she was nervous, put two and two together... she likes Leon,

OMG SHE LIKES LEON!! They would be such a cute couple... maybe i should play cupid,

"Leon... um what are you doing here?" Ava asked rather confused, i kinda was too as to why he was here now,

"Well, Dylan said he was coming here with the guys to pick you girls up and instead of meeting there we are meeting here," he said, but i saw him glance his eyes over to Phebs,

"Oh, so Dylan told you to come here?" i asked with a smile, "I'm actually happy you guys are back to being friends,"

"WAIT WHAT!?!" Ava shouted, "You and Dylan are friends?, i'd have to see it to believe it." she chuckled, "You and Dylan never got along, so come again," she asked with quirked brow,

I'm getting the feeling she doesn't like Leon,

"You never told them did you?" he asked me, and i had a guilty look on my face,

"Uh..well...you see i thought Dylan was going to, looks like he didn't." i shrugged, "Oh and by the way Leon is coming with us next Saturday," i told the girls and the look on Phebs face was priceless, Ava on the other hand had wide eyes,

"HE'S WHAT NOW!!"

"Calm down Av, it's fine and plus it was Dylan's idea." Ava's mouth was formed in an 'o' and Phebs tried looking away and pretended she was looking at at photo on the wall, throwing glances at Leon time to time,

"Dylan did... that's hard to believe." she stated, "What do you think of this Phebs?" she asked her and that didn't even get her attention,

"Phoebe," again no response,

"Phoebe Pierce!!" Ava used her full name in an annoyed tone,

Phebs then snapped out of it, her eyes glazed with... i don't know something unknown well she was in deep thought about something or someone...

Phebs snapped her head in the direction of Av "Huh... what!?!" she asked confused,

"I said, what do you think of Dylan asking Leon to our road trip next week? It's weird right,"

Leon just stood in the middle of the room looking from me to Ava to Phebs, well it would be weird if someone was talking about you like your not even there,

"What? Dylan invited Leon, well it seems fine i guess and if Dylan invited him he invited him. So what,"

"But aren't you missing the point here." she said annoyed, "Dylan. Invited. Leon. To. Our. Road trip." she said slowly, "Dylan and Leon were never friends before,"

Dinngg Doonnggg

I opened the door and Dylan was standing there with a small smile on his face, looking me up and down with a small nod,

"Your wearing the dress," he said in a happy tone, and i laughed lightly,

"Of course i did," i smiled back and he gave me a quick kiss on the cheek, leaving tingles behind and forgetting everything happening around us. I snapped out of my little trance and greeted the guys, and they nodded in response,

"Dylan!!" Ava said in a low tone, "Why is Leon invited to our road trip?" she asked through gritted teeth and by her tone she meant business,

Dylan looked at me to Ava to Phebs to Leon, finally noticed that Leon was in the room,

"Sup dude," Dylan said and bro hugged him,

"What is this!?!" she asked annoyed,

"Well as you can see, me and Leon are friends,"

"Sup man," next was Jace, then Cory, Hunter, then Aiden,

"WHAT IS THIS!!" Ava yelled again, the guys looked at her like she was crazy,

"Ok chill and i'll explain but we have to go once i finish, kay." Dylan told her and she nodded with her arms crossed over her chest,

"Basically were friends again, obviously but really it was nothing to hold a grudge over these few years and about a day after that happened i decided to invite him and i told the guys and they agreed and were fine with it," he explained quickly and straight to the point, "Now come on, we have a party to get to,"

"Let's go people!!" i exclaimed, rather excited since it is my first party ever,

"You look beautiful," Dylan whispered in my ear, feeling his warm breath on my neck i felt heat rush to my cheeks, that has happened a lot today,

"And you," i said poking his chest, "Look handsome," i smiled, resting my head on his chest, he wrapped his arms around my waist, his body warmed mine up instantly,

We decided to go in two cars, Dylan, me, Jace, Phebs and Ava in Jace's car, and Cory, Hunter and Aiden in Cory's car. Leon drove to mine so he drove to the party.

"Can you guys stop with the lovey doveyness?"

"Yea, yea. Wait till you start dating Jacey, i'm sure you'll be the same or even more whipped," i told him with a sweet smile and just rolled his eyes and kept driving to the party,

"I'm not whipped!!" Dylan exclaimed,

"Sure you aren't" i smirked,

I still can't get over today, i really loved the date and honestly can't wait till our next date.

We arrived at what looked like a mansion. You could hear the sound of the house music at the end of the street, yea that's what people listen to these days songs without lyrics... how great is that, note the sarcasm. Anyway's there was already drunk teenagers walking unsteadily and slurring words to each other, red cups thrown around the front of the mansion, i even saw a few teens throwing up... yuck, it made me want to throw up, yea i have this thing if someone spews then i spew. Typical high school parties, you know the one's in movies. People were even sucking each other's faces off, really? kept that stuff for behind doors.

I got out of the car and Dylan instantly wrapped his arm around my waist, i regretted not bringing a jacket as the chilly air touched my skin.

"Ready?" Phebs asked and i smiled in response, she put her arm through mine and we walked off,

Ava seemed more calmed down, but i see where she's coming but she might have over reacted by a touch. I haven't known Ava for long, but i'm guessing she dosen't like Leon very much,

As we walked through the doors of the party the first thing that hit me was the really loud music, i could barely hear Dylan or the girls talking, the other was all the people dry humping and grinding in the middle of the dance floor, is that what they call dancing these days... i guess so.

"DO YOU WANT A DRINK?" Dylan yelled over the music and i just nodded and followed him to where ever he was going probably the kitchen, especially since i have never been to a party before and i don't really know many people so i'm just going to stick with Dylan,

Once we reached the kitchen, it was a lot quieter here but it was still loud.

"What drink would you like?" Dylan asked politely,

"Water,"

"Alcohol." he stated,

"Do i really have a choice?" he just shook his head, "Then why did you ask?" he just shrugged,

"You need to live a little and i'm giving you that opportunity." he suddenly smirked, "they don't call me a bad boy for nothing,"

"Of course, is that what you get up to when you leave school grounds at lunch," i asked with a quirked brow,

"Stalking me now i see," he chuckled,

I laughed lightly, "Ha, you wish. I see you leave school sometimes during lunch, if you don't remember i used that time to sit by myself in my car that is in the school car park." i smirked at my come back,

"Uhuh," he nodded his head while pouring both me and him a drink, "Here drink this," i reluctantly took the cup and smelt it, yes i smelt it and it smelt really strong, i shrugged it off and took a long sip from my cup, the liquid burning my throat as i drank it, but i felt less nervous about this party now,

"Wanna dance?" i asked,

We were in the middle of the dance floor, some how we got pushed and ended up here. 'Summer' by Calvin Harris came on and i started swaying my hips to the beat, Dylan has his hands on my hips firmly but gently, swaying in rhythm, my arms wrapped around his neck. He even spun me around a few times, i was actually having fun and i was enjoying myself.

The only thing i hated about tonight is girls kept throwing themselves at Dylan, can't they have self respect. Most girls here such little clothing you'd think that there a size way too small, their tops wouldn't be classed as a top more like a bra and the shorts oh don't even get me started on them, they looked like underwear. The dresses, well their cleavage was on full display and so short that you could see their ass. Where is girls self respect these days.

I told Dylan i was going to the bathroom, which i was but not to actually use it, to get away from everything in the party. I was starting to get a headache from the loud music and my third cup of alcohol, while i was in there i fixed my hair and found myself stumbling towards the living rooms, throughout the halls i saw couples making out, probably to drunk to think before they act, i wouldn't be surprised at how many girls done the deed with some random guy they only just met tonight.

Finding my way out of the crowded hallways, i was looking for Dylan, as if i can find him in this large crowd. I decided to go out for a breather, with all the people inside it was sweaty and i needed air. I was tipsy but i wasn't full on drunk, i walked out in the backyard to realise it is as big as the house itself, it wasn't as crowded as the house but it was still full, i looked around to see people smoking, making out and probably doing drugs... wouldn't be surprised. I wonder where the others got to, i haven't seen the girls or any of the guys. Well that's just my luck, my eyes flickered over the back of a familiar blonde guy... Jace, making out with a girl, i didn't know he was that kind of guy but then again he is a guy. Walking further into the crowd i spotted the familiar brown head i've been looking for, only to see he seemed a bit busy... badboy/player of course although something seemed off about this situation, he was struggling to push her off by the looks of it,

"I have a girlfriend," i heard him tell her multiple times but she just kept throwing herself at him,

"Do i look like i care?" she said trying to be seductive, but failed miserably slurring instead. Dylan didn't look a bit interested, and i'm glad at that,

Slut. I thought to myself,

I decided to take matters in my own hands,

"Bitch, get your filthy hands off my guy." i said pulling her by the hair and pushing her back making her stumble, making another guy catch her,

"Watch your mouth slut." i noticed it to be Sara, i smirked,

"Speak for yourself." i stated looking her up and down. She was wearing a really short dress revealing rather a lot leaving nothing for the imagination cause it was already showing. I then pulled Dylan by the shirt further to the back of the yard,

"It's not what it looked lik.."

I cut him off with my lips, i knew he was telling the truth and i trust him i guess, i pulled back and whispered,

"I know," and pulled him back down to my lips.

A few hours later we were sitting by a tree at the back of the yard, i was straddling his hips and my arms around his neck and my hands roaming his hair, we weren't doing anything just sitting, Dylan started feeling his pockets for something until he smiled and pulled out a lighter and cigarette and lighting it, taking a long drag,

"You smoke?" i questioned, that was one thing i never knew about him,

"Yea, wanna try?" he asked and i shook my head, "come on, just try it relives stress." he told me,

"It's a cancer stick Dylan," i told him, but he shrugged,

"Live a little, one puff's not going to kill you," he put it back in his mouth and took another drag, i snatched the stick out of his hand, he smirked and i sucked in a breath and started a coughing fit,

"There, happy."

After that i threw the stick somewhere but not before steping on it once.

"Definintely, you looked hot." he smirked and i just rolled my eyes,

"Whatever."
