Harry's birthday came quickly, too quickly to be honest. I was very nervous about the party, but I decided I had to come out from my comfort zone. I was wrapping Harry's gift up when Mia stormed into my room. "We have to find something to wear!" she squealed, running to my closet. I rolled my eyes, continuing to wrap Harry's present up.
It was normal for her to freak out because of clothes, so I just let her have her freak out moment. "You do realise that Hemmings will be there?" she asked. I snorted, putting the gift to the side. "I do know that. You do know that Sam is coming too?" I mocked. She started blushing, but hid it by turning around to look into my closet again.
"We have to look good." she stated. Her eyes widened as she found one of my black dresses and threw it on me. I rolled my eyes at how she always had to throw clothes on top of my head. The black dress was something I had used a long time ago. It was nice to be honest and had an open back. I liked the dress very much and was happy that Mia liked it too.
I put the dress on and let Mia fix my hair and make up. She braided my blonde hair today, telling me I would look beautiful with a french braid. I liked braids so I let her do that. I was thankful for Mia, she could be my personal stylist forever.
When we were done with me, she put on her own light pink dress and let her hair stay curly. She was beautiful as always and it made me feel like a potato next to her, but I faked a smile. "You look beautiful, Vic." Mia smiled, hugging me quickly.
We had to come to Harry's house a bit earlier than the other guests, well the whole school to be honest because Harry loved big parties. Harry's house was big though and I could see a lot of drinks everywhere.
Harry grinned when he saw us and walked over to us, just like Sam did. He was earlier than us. Harry hugged Mia so Sam hugged me, telling me I looked nice before he walked over to Mia and hugged her forever. Harry winked at me and hugged me. "You look beautiful Vic." he smiled. "Thanks. Happy birthday!" I squealed handing him the present. He giggled and grabbed it only to open it seconds later.
He smiled when he saw the all time low CD. "Now you don't have to steal mine all the time." I smiled. He got a lot of candy too and he looked happy. "Thanks, Vic you're the best." Harry said, hugging me one more time.
We had to help out with the music and put out chips everywhere. Harry was very excited so that was nice. People started coming after an hour and I wasn't suprised that I didn't know half of them. I stuck with Mia and Sam for a while and waited to see if someone else came.
My eyes widened when Luke came into the living room, wearing a button up and black jeans. His hair was in a perfect quiff and he just looked so damn hot to be honest. His eyes searched the whole room and he walked over to Harry to talk. Ashton, Michael and Calum came in too and walked over to Harry, probably to say happy birthday to him.
I decided to walk over there and felt my cheeks burn as I felt Luke's eyes on me. I noticed that he eyed me up and down and I coughed awkwardly. He blinked and gave me a small smile, turning to talk to Ashton. "Vic! Hi!" Calum squealed, hugging me. Michael did the same and Ashton too. I locked eyes with Luke who looked like he was a bit unsure what to do, but he walked closer to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I couldn't help but smell his cologne. My arms wrapped around his waist too and I liked this. Luke was a good hugger. He nuzzled his head in the crook of my neck. "Hi." he mumbled, his lips brushing my neck.
My insides were going wild and I didn't want to let go, but knew we had to. Luke pulled away, running a hand through his hair. His eyes were still locked with mine and a huge smile made it's way onto my face. "You want a drink?" Michael asked me. I widened my eyes, but nodded slowly, not sure why I did that. Michael handed me a cup of something and I took it, taking a sip from the strong drink. I tried not to grimace, but the others laughed.
Harry was talking to some other people now so I was still standing with Ashton, Michael, Calum and Luke. They were all pretty tipsy right now and I think I was too because I giggled at everything they said. "So, Vic." Calum slurred, putting his arm around my shoulder. "Can you please tell the others that hulk is the coolest avenger?". I snorted, shaking my head. "Iron man is so much cooler." I stated. "I like captain america." Ashton said. Luke looked up at Calum and me, furrowing his eyebrows a bit. "Iron man is the best one." Luke said.
After some time, Calum found a girl to talk to, Michael was making out with a girl and Ashton was just walking around and talking to everybody. I was just standing in front of Luke awkwardly. I took a sip from the drink I was getting used to. It was my third cup. "So is Harry your boyfriend?" Luke asked. I snorted as I shook my head. "No, never. Harry and I are just best friends." I laughed. Luke's cheeks reddened and he looked down at his cup. "Oh sorry to ask. I just.. I don't know." Luke stuttered awkwardly.
I rolled my eyes and put my hand on Luke's shoulder. "It's alright, Luke." I giggled. Luke's eyes widened as he saw my hand on his shoulder and I was about to pull my hand away when Luke awkwardly put his hand over mine, intertwining our fingers. It was really suprising to be honest, but my hand was literally tingling from his touch. His hand was so much bigger than mine, but my hand fit perfectly in his.
After another minute of us just standing there with locked eyes, Luke coughed and let go of my hand. I blushed and looked down at my feet. "D-do you want to go to somewhere more quiet?" Luke asked. I shrugged. "Sure." I smiled. Luke nodded as he took some alcohol with him and we made our way to another room. "Harry has a guest room we probably can go to." I explained, walking up the stairs.
When we came in, Luke walked over to the bed and laid down. He brought the bottle of alcohol to his mouth, taking a big gulp. I sat down in the bed, not sure what to do. He handed me the bottle and I wasn't sure what was going on in my head, but I actually took a sip. "Claire doesn't want me to hang out with you." he mumbled. I frowned. "She doesn't even want me to call you Vic." Luke slurred. I took another sip from the drink, feeling a bit dizzy so I laid down beside Luke.
"But you're hanging out with me right now." I stated. Luke started giggling. "That's because whenever I ask her to come with me to stuff, she won't, but you're always here and I don't even need to ask you.". I couldn't help but giggle too because it was kind of funny. "Besides, we go to the same school and have the same classes. It isn't weird to hang out with you." Luke stated.
I turned my head and saw how close we really were. Luke's forehead was leaning against mine and his eyes stared into mine, making my heartbeat quicken like it always did when Luke was close. "I want to get a penguin." he suddenly smirked, making me roll my eyes. "I want to have a panda." I said back. "We should buy them and they would be bestfriends." Luke giggled, making me giggle too.
Luke's hot breath tickled me, but I didn't want to move away. I liked being this close to Luke and Luke didn't seem to mind either. "I'm so drunk right now." he slurred. I took another swig from the bottle of alcohol. "I think I'm drunk too, but I haven't really been drunk before." I slurred too. Luke giggled as he came closer to me, our noses brushing. "You're cute." he suddenly said,making me blush.
It was making me both nervous and excited to be this close to Luke. My eyes trailed down to his lips and noticed that he was looking at my lips too. He leaned in even closer and his lips were now brushing my own. I knew how wrong this was, but my heart was beating so fast and I was just dying to know how his lips felt on mine.
Just when Luke closed his eyes and I was about to close my own, Luke's phone buzzed and Luke jumped away from me, almost falling down from the bed. His eyes widened as he scooted away from me even more. I sighed loudly, shaking my head in frustration.
What was about to happen? Were we about to kiss? Luke was Claire's boyfriend, we couldn't kiss. He shouldn't have tried to kiss me! Did he try to? My mind was just a mess and I hated the fact that I still wanted to kiss him and that I was disappointed that his phone started buzzing.
"Claire?" he asked into the phone. "Oh yeah, I'm at Harry's party, I told you that." Luke explained. He started playing with his lips ring which I had noticed was a nervous habit he did. "Claire, I asked you to come, but you told me you hated Harry and didn't want to come." he mumbled, looking over at me for some seconds. I blushed and looked away quickly.
"I told you I would go because Harry is actually cool. My friends were going too. You can't get angry just because I went without you when I asked you and you said no." he sighed. "You know what? I'm drunk and in no mood to argue with you. We can talk tomorrow." he snapped before he pulled the phone from his ear and threw it to the floor.
He groaned loudly, putting his head in his hands. "Fuck." he muttered. I frowned and scooted closer to him. "Are you alright?" I asked. Luke shook his head as he pulled his hands away from his face. "No, I need more alcohol." he sighed, standing up from the bed, rushing out of the guest room.
I just awkwardly sat there, not sure if Luke would come back. My head was running with thoughts. When the door opened and Luke stumbled in, I was a bit suprised. "I thought you wouldn't come back." I mumbled. Luke shrugged, taking a sip from the bottle before he handed it to me. I grabbed it and took another swig.
Luke laid down again and stared up at the roof. "You're so different from your sister, Vic." he stated, pointing at me with the empty bottle he first brought here. I shrugged. "I mean you're the polar opposite." he stated. "I think that's nice. I mean two bitcy girls to know would be a bit too much." he slurred. I raised an eyebrow at him. "Do you mean that I'm the bitch?" I joked, but Luke chuckled. "No. Claire's the bitch." he explained.¨
"Why are you together with her if you think she's a bitch?" I asked. "Because we've been together for a long time and I just feel like she will change you know? She can be really kind, but end up getting angry again. I don't know.. I care about her you know?" he explained. I nodded my head, feeling my heart break a little, but I faked a smile.
"But it's nice to have you here, we're friends right? I like having you around, you make me forget about all the bad things." Luke suddenly said after a long silence. "We're friends." I whispered. At least we were friends. I just wanted him to care about me, but if he cared about me as a friend, I would still be alright even though I knew I had stronger feelings for him.
I just had to suck it up and don't be so selfish, but my mind was still confused about our almost kiss. Were we about to kiss? We were so close.. Did Luke feel anything when we were so close? Probably not, he was probably too drunk to even care about it tomorrow. It looked like he had already forgotten about it because his eyes were closed. He had already fallen asleep.
