When did we fall? (n.h.)

Chapter 5

"Okay, you're so gonna wear this!" Khloe said as we got ready for the frat party, trying to figure out what to wear.

It was around 6 pm and I'd already taken a shower so we still had like two hours left before Dylan would pick us up. Niall had already invited Khloe a few days ago so we decided to get ready together. Eleanor and the other girls were getting ready at Gemma's dorm since she was going to drive them to the frat house.

I looked down at my outfit choice. I was wearing some high waisted black shorts with a pink tank top tucked in combined with a pair of black flats. My hair was still in their usual brown curls since I decided to leave them like that.

"Do you think so? Isn't it 'too casual' for a party?"

Khloe was wearing a skin tight leather skirt with a crop top. Her black heels matched her outfit perfectly and I felt underdressed. It was not like I couldn't just change into something 'better', I was actually fine with my choice of clothes. I just wasn't so sure about my shoes, then again I really didn't feel like wearing heels. Heels were going to kill my feet!

"Not at all. I don't think every girl is going to wear high heels at the party." I nodded at her. She's probably right. I shouldn't bother about it so much either.

"Can I do your make-up?" She asked me, having a huge grin on her face. I tried to fight back a frown, the image of my face covered in kilos of foundation appearing in my head. Don't get me wrong, I like Khloe and all, but she definitely defines 'a bit of make-up' differently than me. I decided to give it a go though, if I don't like it I can still wash it off after all.

"Fine." I gave back a smile, sitting down on the chair in front of the mirror.

"Uh-uh." She shook her head, grinning even more. She spun me around in the chair so I didn't face the mirror anymore. I let out a laugh, shaking my head at this.

"You've got to be kidding me."

"No, it's going to be a surprise!" She beamed, "And YES, it's going to look amazing. Just trust me." Trusting Khloe with doing my make-up? I guess we'll see.

*Niall's POV*

Loud music, the smell of smoke and alcohol, people grinding on each other. Typical frat party on a friday night. Funny how I never get tired of this, in fact I still fucking love every second of it.

"Mhm, always like that taste." I said, feeling the familiar burn of tequila in my throat. I placed a last kiss on the girl's belly button before she sat up, cupping my chin and pulling me into a sloppy kiss. The people around us were cheering, the girl grinning during the hungry kiss. I pulled back after like a minute, getting up and helping the girl up as well.

"Ay, Niall you can always go upstairs!" Seth stated, laying an arm around my shoulders. By the way he was leaning on me I could tell that he was shitfaced. I pushed his arm away though, causing him to stumble a bit.

"Nah, but certainly later." I went, winking at her before heading off to the kitchen to grab another one of this weird mix of raspberry juice and vodka. The kitchen was crowded as well, people making out in literally every corner and knocked over red plastic cups everywhere.

"Niall, mate!" I heard someone with a british accent speak. I turned around, seeing Louis and Eleanor. I nodded at them, bringing the rim of the plastic cup to my lips and taking a large sip. Surely this was like my 5th drink by now. "You coming with us to the backyard? Zayn and everyone else is sitting there." Some fresh air couldn't be wrong.

"Alright." Louis and Eleanor disappeared in the living room where they made their way through dancing students towards the glass door, me following behind them. A small bonfire was set up in the middle of the backyard, everyone else sitting in a circle around it on benches, chairs or just on a blanket. I saw Zayn taking a drag of what was most likely a joint before passing it to Chris.

I walked over to them and plumped down next to Chris. The alcohol started to kick in. Slow but steady.

"What's up, man?" Dylan's voice rang through my ears, me looking up at him. "Haven't seen you here today where were ya?"

"Playing beer pong and taking tequila shots." I saw a girl leaning against his shoulder as I took a second look to take her in. Annie. Of course she'd be here. I'm definitely not happy with that, didn't I make that pretty clear the other day?

"Ah I see. Tequila shots." He repeated, giving me a look and grinning. I nodded again and looked to the left, noticing how Chris was passing me the joint. Taking it I took a large drag, taking it in. It's cool to sometimes come out and just relax rather than just party inside. Nothing against that though, I still love huge parties. After watching the smoke fade in the air I grinned, passing it to Dylan.

"Want a drag? Or maybe your girl?" Dylan rolled his eyes, shaking his head causing me to laugh out. Annie just looked between me and him, being oblivious to the fact that it's a joint.

"Nah thanks. Dick." He went, pushing my elbow away. I handed Luke the drag then.

"Where did you sleep the other day?" I asked Dylan, remembering he wasn't there on Wednesday night. To my advantage.

"At Annie's. Since Khloe obviously stayed at our dorm and I figured I wouldn't find any sleep there one way or another." Oh yea, Khlo. She doesn't take our hook ups too seriously, thank god. Khloe is there when I need a good fuck, just exactly what I need. And when I need my place, so after the sex, she's gone. Seems perfect, right?

I grabbed my red plastic cup, sipping at the vodka mix.

"You just say that 'cuz yer probably used to some vanilla sex with her."

He scowled at me before looking up surprised to the right where Annie got up, storming inside. Good.

"What the fuck, Niall?!"
