Tik tok, times up. | Ryland Storms Love Story

Part 4

Several hours, many outfit changes, and lots of makeup later, I was ready for the party. A lot of people had already arrived while I was still getting ready in the bathroom. Ryland and Nick had left, but they promised they were coming back later. Alyssa had also left, but we made plans tomorrow to go check out her place. Jaden and Griffin also asked to come check it out. Jaden seems genuinely interested in what it's like to be a weed instagram model, and Griffin seems to be more interested in Alyssa.

The music was booming throughout the house, and the voices seemed to be growing louder. I decided to stay in Jaden, Josh, and my shared room for a little bit drinking white claws Griff had given me, until I was drunk enough to go out there. Someone opened the door to my room, I looked up,

"Hello?" I ask somewhat confused.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I thought Jaden was in here. I'm Bella! You're soo pretty by the way, I love your nails." She blurts out so fast. I laugh,

"No it's okay, do you want a white claw." She nods and comes over to me, I hand her a white claw. "You know Jaden?" I question her.

"Yeah, he's just a friend. I'm friends with all the sway boys. Are you Talia? I heard Griffin was having his sister stay here!" I nod. She seems really nice. And then I recognized her, she's Bella Martinez, she's an extremely good dancer and does make up on tik tok.

"Oh wait I think I know who you are. You're a tik toker!" I exclaim. She nods. We both decide to go join the party together. As soon as we step out of the room I'm greeted by the smell of smoke, alcohol, and sex. So this is what a tik tok party is like. I. love. It. We make our way out to the pool area where a game of cup pong is being played. 

"Tryna play?" Someone shouts in my ear. I look behind me and see that it's Nick.

"Yeah sure, I'm going to warn you though, I'm a beast at this." Bella and I decide to team up. Nick insists that he gets a partner too. He goes to look for a partner and he returns with Tony Lopez. 

"Get ready to be destroyed" Tony says to Bella and I.

"Oh yeah? Get ready to be beat by two girls" Bella shouts back sticking her tongue out at him. We finished the game, and we of course dominated them. Bella sticks back talking to Tony and Nick, and I excuse myself to go find another drink. I go to the kitchen and see a handle of smirnoff sitting on the island. I take a solo cup and start to pour a drink, when someone takes the handle from my hands,

"Slow down there." I look to see who it is, and of course it's Ryland.

"Hey I'm fine." As I say that I realize just how drunk I am.

"Not worried about you, just trying to make sure you leave enough for the rest of us." I pout at him and watch him pour two drinks. Feeling confident I get closer to him and put my hand on his bicep,

"What's your deal?" He laughs, and finishes pouring the two drinks. A pretty girl comes out of what seems to be nowhere and grabs the second drink in his hand.

"No deal." He puts his arm around the girl's waist and guides her away, taking her somewhere upstairs presumably to hook up. Wow, okay. Should have expected that.

"Having fun?" Jaden approaches me. I smile at him, and take a sip of the drink in my hand.

"Is it always like this?" He nods,

"Only when we throw a party. The sway boys know how to host." I laugh at him. Jaden and I take a seat at the island. "Mads and I just broke up for god knows what time it is." He looks down into the solo cup he's holding. I put my hand on his back,
