When I'm with you.

chapter one.

My phone begins to vibrate across the small bedside table across the room and I scurry over to catch it before it falls and the screen cracks anymore than it already is.
I glance down and swipe right to answer the call while tucking the device under my chin and pulling on my converse.

"Hey are you ready?" My friend Jasmine asks in the either end.
There is a party tonight in town and she is insisting that I attend with her since I have bailed out on the last four. I'm not much of a party person and if I'm being honest I would rather stay home and binge watch paranormal shows or read.

"Yeah almost ready" I reply while running my fingers through my long wavy hair.

"You better be because I'm pulling in your drive now" she says before clicking the end call button.

I grab my favorite flannel and tie it around my waist and apply some bright red lipgloss before grabbing my bag and heading outside to greet her.

Jasmine looks me up and down most likely disproving of my outfit choice of a white tank top amd denim shorts but I don't pay her any attention and hop inside her silver fusion anyway.

" love the look" she says sarcastically and turns up the radio as while pull out onto the street.

Jasmine and I have been friends since third grade  even though we are complete opposites. I'm more of a laid back person and she likes to be the center of attention.

When we arrive at the house th3st the party is being hosted at its much more crowded than I would of thought ,Lines of cars are parked down the rural road and you can hear the mudic blasting from the large house before you even get the pathway.

Jasmine pulls down the material of the short black dress she is wearing as we walk to the doorway and giggle when she almost trips on her heals. She has always been to overdress even if it some party filled with drunken college kids.

Once we make into the house I instantly smell the stench of alcohol and weed. I scrunch up my nose and cough while making my way to a different room hoping to find a less crowded area to stay in while pulling Jasmine by the wrist to follow me.

I'm almost halfway across the house when a tall figure roughly bumps into me with their back facing my front.

"Oh damn my bad" he says but doesn't turn around to face me.
I let a aggravated huff at his rudeness and continue on my way.

When we get into the smaller room in the back Jasmine spots her boyfriend Jay and scurries to him leaving me alone like I knew would happen.
Whenever they are together it seems like they forget everything and everyone else.

I decide to make my way into the kitchen to grab a soda dodging hormonal couples already grinding on each other to the music. This is the exact reason why I never like going to parties.
They are always the same consisting of drinking and hookups neither I would like participate in.

I walk over to the large tile counter and grab a platic cup to fill with coca cola and take a seat on the empty bar stool beside it.
I glance around the room and watch everyone seeming to have the time of their lives.

A screaching noise startles me out of my people watching and I turn to see the familiar dark figure sitting beside me except this time I can see his face.

His face is attractive with dark brown hair and brown eyes and a defined jawline , he looks young probably the same as myself and is wearing dark jeans and a simple navy t-shirt.

He must of caught me staring at him because his eyes start to glare into mine before speaking.

"Sorry about earlier, I had a little too much to drink" he tells me while giving me a small smurk.

"Don't worry about it, I lived" I reply.

"I haven't seen you around here are you new?" He questions me.

"No this just realky isn't my scene,I'd rather be reading than watching drunk people all night"

He laughs at my response and pushes his hair back with one hand.

" Ahh I see your the boring type then" he tells me.

"I've been called worse" I respond before standing up to leave the room but as soon as I do I lose my balance slipping on some kind of spilled liquid on the floor. Before i land completely on the ground and make a fool out of myself I feel two arms catch me under my arms so I don't fall.

"Thanks" I tell him while steadying myself to stand safely.

" you never told me your name"

"I'm aubrey" I inform him with a small smile.
"I'm Mitchell" he tells me but before I could continue our conversation a group of obnoxious guys come near us and one wraps his arm around Mitchell's shoulder pulling him away playfully.

I head back into the back room to find Jasmine and Jay. I spot them on the leather sofa and take a seat beside them.

"It's time for the excitement" I hear a feminine voice annouce and I look around the room to see what she means spotting Mitchell and another large male fighting in the back lawn outside the large bay window.
