Zoey's POV
Henry saw me and smiled.
- Come here - he told me
I walked there and I sat in the floor with them.
- Was John bothering you? - he asked
I laughed.
- No - I said - He is nice
Henry didn't say anything and Patrick was looking away while he was smoking.
- What are you doing here? - I asked
- We are talking and smoking, it's way better than being inside there dying between people - told me Henry
I laughed.
- You are being dramatic - I said
Patrick let go a laugh.
I looked at him and he started to talk without looking at me.
- He is not being dramatic. Like, really, do you enjoy being there with all that people pushing you to pass? - he told me
I looked away.
- Is that you only see the bad things or ..... - I said
- I'm negative - he said in response
- I know you are negative - I said
He looked at me.
- Really? - he said
I looked at him.
I felt how uncomfortable was Henry feeling in that conversation because he was in the middle.
- Of course. I don't know if you remember but once upon a time not along ago you and I were dating but actually it wouldn't be weird if you don't remember because you don't even care about me no more so - I told him
He looked at me like: tell me you don't have said what I've just heard.
- Are you fucking serious?! - he said
- NO! It looks like you don't give a ...... - Henry interrupted us
- Wow wow, chill - he said while standing up - I think I'm going with the boys because this is getting uncomfortable
He left.
We stayed in silence.
Suddenly, Patrick looked at me.
- Do you really think I don't care about you? - he said
I shrugged.
- I don't know - I said
- Then why do you think I hit that guy in The Bar the other day? - he told me
I shrugged again.
- You are aggressive - I said
- I'm aggressive when I feel like someone is attaching me - he explained - And I only feel attached when someone messes up with me or when.....
He stopped talking.
I looked at him.
- Why have you stopped ? - I asked
- Because if I say it it will look like I'm apologizing to you but I'm not gong to say sorry
I laughed.
- I know you won't - I said - But maybe someday you'll have to do it
He looked at me.
- Are you fucking serious right now? - he told me
- Yes - I said
- You should be the one that should be apologizing right now because all this shit that has happened it's because of you
- What? No! Two persons don't fight if one of them doesn't want to so it's your fuckimg fault too. - I told him
- No - he said
- However - I said while standing up
He looked up at me.
- Where are you going? - he asked
- Inside- I said - I prefer to have to be there with people pushing me than being here having this conversation
I left.
Patrick's POV
While we were talking, well, fighting, I completely forgot everything. I felt like we were back together and nothing had really happened because she made me feel good and comfortable. But when she left everything just came back in my head.
Zoey's POV
I got in and I looked around to see some known faces.
Suddenly someone grabbed my hand and dragged me with him.
He stopped in a place of the house that was empty and looked at me. It was John.
- What are you doing ? - I asked smiling
He smiled back.
- I just wanted to talk with you- he told me - I've seen you fighting with Patrick
- You shouldn't get into other people's matters - I said
He laughed.
- I know but.... you two were talking out loud and I heard something was wrong with the most beautiful girl in the place so I went to see what was going on
I laughed.
He grabbed a couple of glasses with some drink in it.
- Do you want a little bit? - he asked
I nodded and I drank.
After finishing the drinks I was feeling so weird..... like sleepy but actually full of energy. I was drunk.
- Are you drunk? - asked John
I laughed.
He laughed with me and then grabbed me by the waist.
- You are so beautiful- he told me
I smiled.
He pulled me closer.
- Kiss me - he told me
- No - I said
I moved away and he smiled.
- You are a strong woman, right? - he told me
- I am - I said
He smiled.
- That is how it is supposed to be - he told me
Then, Henry appeared.
He stood behind me and put his arms around me.
I moved away.
- Why is everyone hugging me this night? - I asked
They two laughed.
- Is she drunk? - asked Henry
- Kind of - said John
Henry and I left.
- I want to set somewhere - I said
We went upstairs and sat on a chair. Up there there was calm and no noise.
Henry was looking at me.
He bit his lower lip and then looked away.
I stood up and ( I don't fucking know why) I hugged him.
- Henry - I said while we were hugging each other
- aha
- I want to kiss you - I told him
- You are drunk - he told me - You know we can't do it
- I know but.....
I looked at him.
- You are right - I said
I sat on the chair again and we stood there in silence.
Suddenly Patrick appeared. He was very drunk. He looked at me and grabbed me to make me stand up. He hugged me.
- I love you Zoey - he told me - And I'm sorry for everything
