Becoming Us (Sequel To This Is My Life)

Chapter 7

Alice's Point Of View

As I was dancing with, Nick, I couldn't help but to take a glance over to Evelyn. I seen blonde quiffed hair, so I immediately thought the worse. I made my way over to her and shoved my way through everyone. I felt a hand on my shoulder as I made my way to Evelyn and Niall. I turned to the side to see Colton moving to Evelyn.

"I think it's about time we go," Colton grabbed Evelyn.

"Why? The party was just getting started," Evelyn slurred out, stumbling around.

"And, now it's ending," Colton walked out with Evelyn.

"Who was that?" Nick asked as we walked out.

"Uh, no one important," I answered quickly.

"Okay," He followed along-side me.

Evelyn was stumbling around as we walked and I knew Colton was mad. He didn't know who Niall was and Evelyn was drunk talking to him. I laughed a little a mumbled, 'jealous type,' under my breath as we made our way to the car. Colton and Nick, went to help, Evelyn, get in the car, but I couldn't help but to see something moving around at the corner of my eye.

I slowly side-stepped over to an alleyway and slid to where the moving was. I could feel my heart pounding against my chest as I heard the shuffling noise and a shadow creep by. I felt sweat slid down into my palms as almost everything went silent. I swallowed the lump in my throat and peeked around the rusty green dumpster to see something on the ground.

As I finally moved to where it was and I instantly froze in my steps. A little fluff ball waddled towards me and shyly sat in front of me. I awed at the small dog and timidly picked it up. When I noticed him melt into my hands, I knew I could hold him. I looked over to the parking lot to see Evelyn's head hanging a little out the window. I stifled a laughed and jogged over to them with the puppy in my hands.

"Alice, where did you go?" Nick peeked his head out of the car window.

"I heard a noise and found this little guy," I showed him the puppy.

"Oh my gosh. Get that cutie in here," Nick opened the door.

"The dog or me?" I joked.

"Come on, I want to hold him!" Nick laughed.

"Okay, Mr. Bossy Pants," I stomped to the car.

"Oh, he's so cute. Do you know what kind he is?" Nick moved him around.

"He's a dog," I answered dumbly.

"Come on, you're the dog expert. What breed, Al?"

"I think on the side of an Akita or Shiba Inu," I examined the dog.

"Whoa, Colton, stop speeding!" Evelyn laughed.

"Eve, we're not even moving," Colton shook his head.

"Oh," She giggled.

I grabbed the puppy from Nick's arms and began to mess around with it's pointed ears. I found out it was boy from Nick looking, because I felt like I was violating the poor pup if I looked at his situation. I bounced him around and he looked like he wasn't very amused. Colton was driving to Evelyn and I's house and trying to keep her from yelling, 'party time,' to the passing cars.

"Evelyn, you're not yelling party."

"But, it's.... Party Time!" She shouted.

"Evelyn, that's it. Window's are going up."

"Hey, party animal?"

"What's happening, dude?" She slurred with a peace sign.

"What time is it again?" I stifled a laugh.

"It's party time!" She put her arms up and yelled.

"Alice I really hate you right now," Colton laughed a little.

"It's so worth it," I started to record her.

"Give it to me, I'm worth it!" She started to sing and dance.

Nick started to laugh when he looked over at Colton's face. He started to mess with Colton and he just got ignored. I laughed at his attempt and began to play around with my new dog. I was told I needed to put up found signs, but I didn't want to. I wasn't going to put up found signs.

"Hey, Al, we're home!"
