(Chapter #5)- The Party

{{{Chapter Song: Give Me Love by Ed Sheeran}}}

Give a little time to me or burn this out.

We'll play hide and seek to turn this around.

All I want is the taste that your lips allow.

============================

I didn't see Luke for the next two days. I hung out with Ashton and Calum, but Luke was never with them.

There was a party tonight.

On a Sunday. We didn't have school the next day because it was a teacher meeting type thing.

I don't know, but all I know is that there's a party tonight.

Ashton has invited me to come along. It seems like he's been very close to me these past days. Is it because of what happened Friday? I don't know.

All I know is that I was going to a party with nobody I know except about 2-3 people.

This was going to be a little extreme.

*****

Ashton: are ya ready?? :-)

To be honest I didn't know if I was.

I knew on the outside I was.

I had my favorite All Time Low tee shirt on, with black jeans and big black combat boots. I added dashes of make-up, my eyelashes layered with mascara. I'd left my hair down on my shoulders, the curls running free.

But on the inside, I don't know. I've never been to a party before. The orphanage never let me go to school parties or ones that friends invited me to. It was 'unsafe'. Even if it was a birthday party, I still couldn't go.

I didn't know what to wear to a party, but I've seen it in movies. The girls either wear something very skimpy, or normal. I went with normal. I wonder if Luke is coming.

Why did I just think that?

I shake my head and text Ashton back.

Cierra: Ya, ill be waiting outside.

Ashton: already here :))

Cierra: kk xx

I quickly turn off my phone and run to the door, opening and shutting it, then rushing to Ashton's car. I see him parked right outside the entrance to the gate. I smile; something about Ashton's presence makes me happy.

"Hey!" I call out to him from a few feet away. I hop into the car, and buckle up. "How's it going?"

"Oh nothing much." He laughs.

The engine starts and the car drives down the road. It's not a long drive, about 10 minutes. But it was nice to have the windows down, the air blowing back my curly brown.

"Girls Just Want To Have Fun" comes onto the radio. Ashton's long fingers reach for the volume button and blast the song, and singing along with it. I was laughing the whole time, my hands covering my eyes in embarrassment.

"Ashton, what are you doing?" I yell over the music.

"I'm singing, what does it look like?" He chuckles back and continues to belt the lyrics.

"When the working day is done oh girls, they want to have fun. Oh girls just want to have- That's all they really want. Some fun. When the working day is done oh girls, they want to have fun. Oh girls just want to have fun."
