Danny's P.O.V.

Paul and I left for the party that I didn't even feel like going to and I promised Alex that I'd be back soon. As we walked the few blocks to the party, I kept thinking about the events of last night. To be honest, I didn't even think that I'd be in this position right now. I didn't think Alex would even accept my speech to her. But every word I told her was true. I just couldn't wait to get back to the house so I could be alone with her.

Paul and I finally arrived at the party and went inside the house. There were lots of dancing teenagers getting drunk and acting like total idiots. Girls in skimpy clothing and guys checking them out.

"Hey, I'm gonna go find Taylor." Paul said. Damn, he was whipped.

"Okay." I replied. Paul disappeared into the crowd and I went to go get a drink. I found the kitchen and poured myself what I assumed to be lemonade with vodka in it. At least that's what it tasted like.

"Hey Danny, wanna dance?" I heard a voice behind me. I turned around and recognized the person as a girl who goes to school with me. But I didn't remember her name.

"Nah not really." I said as I brought the plastic cup to my lips. She just shrugged and walked away.

After about an hour of being bored out of my mind, I decided it was time to make my move. I found Paul on the back porch with Taylor. I walked up to them and tried to make it look like I didn't feel good.

"Hey Paul I don't really feel too good man.. I think I ate something bad maybe. I think I'm gonna head back to he house." I said.

"Oh okay... If you want we can leave." Paul replied.

"Nah you should stay. I'll be fine, don't worry." I said.

"Alright then. I'll be back around 10 or something tonight. And my parents won't be home till after then. They said they'd be home late." He stated. I shook my head and then left.

Alex's P.O.V.

I work up from my nap about an half an hour later and I decided to change into something comfortable. I opened my dresser drawer and pulled out a pair of shorts and a tank top. I then went downstairs to get something to snack on.

I put my ear buds in and turned on Sex by The 1975 and grabbed my go-to snack.... a bagel. I sang every word without missing a beat, dancing as I did so. The song seemed to tell such a tragic story. A boy who loves a girl but all that girl wants is sex. And she's got a boyfriend anyway.

I continued to sing....

"And now we're just outside of town
And you're making your way down
She's got a boyfriend anyway
She's got a boyfriend anyway

And I'm not trying to stop you love
If we're gonna do anything we might as well just..."

"Fuck" Danny spoke into my ear so I could hear his voice over the music. I was startled because I didn't know he was in the house. He let out a small laugh when he saw my reaction.

"And how long have you been here?" I asked, turning around to face him.

"Long enough." He smirked. I went to pause the music and pull my ear buds but Danny held his hand up.
