Promise Me?

Chapter 6

“What?” I asked him as I saw the look of confusion that was now plastered  across his features. For a few moments he said nothing and it bothered me and made me worry. Who could this person be and why did Niall seem so flustered that he or she was here. Niall sucked in a deep breath through his gritted teeth and opened his door. “Thats my Ex’s car” is all he said before getting out and walking around to my side and opening the door for me.

I got out of his car leaving my bag on the seat telling myself i’ll return for it later, and followed him up the long walk way to the beautiful beach house that looked amazing next to the ocean. “Why would  your ex be here. How can you be so certain that that is her car?” I asked as we reached the front door. “I would like to know myself and I know it's her car because I was there when she bought it. I mouthed the word oh without saying it as we entered the house.

I decided it would be best not to question him anymore about it thinking he’d probably tell me in time.

As I looked around the house and noted that it was huge. It made my flat look like a hole in the wall. The ceilings were high and vaulted in the main room where only a few people had began to gather. Some people had already started setting up and I could see a beer pong table against the far wall near door that ran outside to the beach.  There was a staircase off to the left of the door which i’m guessing ran up to the bedrooms.

I followed Niall through the living room into the kitchen where i saw Zayn setting out snacks.n How many people are coming “ I asked Zayn as he set a bag of cool ranch doritos onto the counter. “Oh hmmmmmmmm….. now that you mention it I don’t really know”, He answered with a chuckle. Oh goody there could be hundreds. Niall and I began to help set up with Zayn. Niall and Zayn had to carry the beer kegs, I couldn’t because they thought i’d hurt myself, which was probably true because i’m very clumsy.

About an hour and a half  later everything was set up and ready. Alcohol was on the counter ready to be drunk, however I didn’t plan on having any because im underage and I didn’t want to make any decisions I would regret later. There were also what seemed like a year supply. A lot more people had started to show up now. I estimated about 50-60 people in the massive living room alone. Most were dancing to the loud house music and laughing. Others were talking and playing beer pong, or daring each other to take shots of mixed liquor.

Niall had wandered off about 15 minutes ago and I hadn’t seen him since.  In grabbed a Soda from the cooler and walked into the living room, in a sad attempt to socialize. I stood against a wall for about 20 minutes before a peppy brunette walked over smiling. “You must be Hunter!” she shouted to me over the loud music “I’m Eleunor, Louis Girlfriend. He told me you would be here.”

“Yeah Niall invited me” I say to her in a lame attempt to keep the conversation from dieing. We wound up talking for about an hour about why i'm here, how long i’d be here for her and of course I asked some questions of my own. They were mainly about the boys and why they seemed so friendly. She ended the conversation by telling me she had to go find Louis and make sure he was behaving himself.

By this point my soda can was bone dry and I was beginning to get a headache from the loud music. I decided I would go and grab another soda and head outside for some much needed fresh air.

As I walked into the Kitchen I saw Niall leaning against the counter with his hands on some blonde girls hips her hands placed against his chest.  I don’t know why but for the first time since my previous relationship I actually felt jealous and slightly hurt by this. I know i’ve only know him for a few days, I didn’t understand why I would be feeling jealous we were just friends.  I walked over to the cooler, since the fridge was filled with beer. I grabbed a coke and glanced toward Niall and instantly regretted because when our eyes met his face fell. He pushed the girl away and called my name as I walked away but I pretended that I didn’t hear him and kept walking making my way outside with ease.
