"No but really, thanks for inviting us. I am having fun." I smile

"Oh hi Ruellllll." Tate winks

"Uh hi...Tate right?" He says

And Tate nods before Josie pushes he aside and introduces herself

"Hi I'm Josie nice to meet you Ruel." Shes teases

My friends are absolute idiots I think to myself

"Sorry she's on crack." I joke to Ruel

While Ruel and I were talking a guy came up to Ruel

"Hey dude sorry I got here late, sick party." He says to Ruel then turns to me

"Who's th- oh it's you." He snarls

Ruel looks at him confused

"Yea and it's you, the dick who pushed me over then called me a slut. What a gentleman you are." I saltily smile

"Wait what the fuck?" Ruel says

"Hey I called you a slut for a reason babe." He smirks

I slightly gasp at his comment

Then Ruel takes a few steps in front of him

"Dude you can't just fucking treat girls like that. It's not cool." He scoffs

"Why do you give a fuck?" The guy asks Ruel

"Why DON'T you give a fuck." Ruel retorts back

"She's the dumb bitch that ran into me." He shouts

"Ok don't fucking call her names u fucking prick. Just leave, I don't want you here. Not if you're gonna harass people." Ruel says

"Whatever man, this party sucks anyways." The guy scoffs and leaves

Ruel turns to me "sorry about him, I wouldn't of invited him if I knew he was the guy who ran you over." He says with a half hearted smile

"No don't worry about it, you didn't know."

"And thanks for defending me, that was really sweet of you." I smile at him which makes him smile back

"It's no problem." He blushes

"Girls shouldn't be treated like that." He says

I flashed him a gentle smile as he walked over to the bonfire. There's really something about him. I don't think I've met someone who's ever defended me like that.

"Are you coming India?" Ruel calls out snapping me out of my thoughts

I nod and walk over to where everyone was sitting and sit down in between Tate and Ruel with Autumn sitting across from us with the boy she was making out with earlier and Josie next to Tate.

As the night went on everyone seemed to be having fun, of course some people were totally wasted but it made for some entertainment. Although, it increasingly got colder. Me being the dumb ass I am, I didn't bring a sweatshirt or a blanket. It wasn't a big deal really but it was pretty obvious. It was obvious enough for Ruel to take his blanket off of him and place it around me.

I then look at him confused

"You looked a bit cold." He says

I blushed "thanks, but won't you be cold?" I ask

"Nah, I was getting hot anyways."

For the next hour or so people trickled out only leaving a few people left. I was eating a s'more as Ruel, Tate and I talked about the fact that Rex Orange County was coming here and how Ruel really wants to collab with him one day.

"Seriously imagine the crowd cheering us on and people actually enjoying what I wrote, what we wrote!" Ruel said excitedly

"I'm sure you're gonna get there someday. I believe it." I smile

"I wish, this whole singing career thing doesn't even feel real yet."

"Can you sing for me?" I ask

"I wanna hear your voice I really do." I plead

"Ok fineeee." He drags on teasingly

Then he starts to sing

(Carry me home by Jorja Smith)
Midnight strikes where is my prince?
Lost my comfort, more time to think
Broken and bruised, tell me what I am
Feel so unused, help me find your hand
I guess the sun still waits here
Got to hold it up for him
Carry me home
Bear my weight on your shoulders
Carry me home
Nothing else matters

At this point I was completely lost in his voice, he sounded like an angel. An actual angel. It was so beautiful, I couldn't stop staring at him as he sung.

"So um yea." He blushes looking down

"Holy shit your voice is incredible-" I say lost for words

"How is it so pure wow ohmygod." I blush

"Sorry I'm like lowkey fan girling oops."

He chuckles "so I'm assuming that means you like it?' He asks

"Definitely." I say
