HARRY'S POV
I get up and see Andrea still sitting there like a puppy dog.
"You coming?" I ask her.
"I was just about to get up. Calm down." She says snotty.
I look at her with disgust. She's acting like I'm begging for her.
"Lets go to the back, there's some crazy shit going on." Seth says.
"Okay." I agree.
We go to the backyard and see a bunch if people throwing themselves into a pool.
There's beer bottles everywhere.
"Wow." I say.
I've been to many parties before but college parties I've never been too.
"This is crazy." I say before somebody turns the music even louder.
"Yeah." Mason smiles.
"I'm gonna use the bathroom."
He turns and walks the other way and now I'm getting more uncomfortable.
"Too crazy." I mumble to myself.
I see Seth making out with a random girl I saw earlier.
He grabs her leg as she lifts it up higher to him. Her bleach blonde hair is set free because he rips off the band holding her hair up.
As things are heating up between them he turns his head and catches me staring at them.
I look away quickly seeing Derek sitting on a chair drinking more and more.
He's alone and I walk over to him.
For some strange reason Andrea follows me.
"Hey." I say to him putting my hands in my pockets.
"Hey man." He spits out.
"What are you doing?" I ask just standing there.
The glow of the pool lights are shining on his face.
"Nothing...Just relaxing." He smiles.
"What are you doing Andrea?"
"Nothing." She says coming from behind me.
"What time are you planning to leave?" Derek says to me.
"Mason was kind of my ride so I don't really know." I answer.
"I'll drive you. You live on campus?" He asks standing up.
"Yeah. Masons my roommate." I say.
"Oh that's right." Derek laughs.
"Yeah." I say looking around.
"Well I'm tired. Wanna leave?" He asks tripping over himself.
"You might have to drive."
"Yeah. Do you live on campus?" I ask him.
"Yeah. I'm down the hall from Mason. Or you too." He laughs again.
I laugh with him and we walk through the crowd.
Right as we get to the door Andrea interrupts me.
"What about me?" She whines.
"What do you mean? Ask your brother to take you home." I say.
"What?" She asks.
I look at her curiously. She shouldn't even be asking me this.
"Mason." I say.
"I know who my damn brother is okay. I don't know where he is. Take me home it's like right by the school." She crosses her arms.
I look at her interlocking arms and all I see is Stella. My stomach starts to tighten.
"Erm... Okay." I say.
"Lets go now." Derek says impatiently.
I nod and we walk out the warm house into the cold Texas air.
We get to the car and I unlock the doors.
"Aye man thanks for driving." Derek says slamming himself in the passengers seat.
"No problem." I say.
We drive down the road to the school and Derek slips out.
"Just park my car by the front of the dorms." He demands.
"Yeah sure. See you." I say as he stands up.
"Bye." He says closing the door.
I reverse and turn the other way to drop Andrea off at her apartment.
"Thanks for taking me to my apartment." She mumbles.
"I didn't have much of a choice." I say.
"Wow." Is as she says.
I don't respond until we get there.
"Here." I say parking the car.
"Thanks again." She smiles.
I turn my head and I see Stella.
My heart starts to race and I can't breathe.
I shake my head and Andrea is staring at me.
"Oh yeah. No problem." I say.
"Wanna come in?" She asks switching her mood.
"It's getting late. I need to get back to the dorms." I say wondering why she wants me to come in.
"Oh. Yeah okay. Ill see you round then." She says smiles.
"Yeah. Bye." I say.
She closes the door and walks to the apartment and looks back one last time.
I take off in the car regretting ever going to that party.
When I park the car and walk to the dorm I'm exhausted.
I open the door, close it behind me, and jump in the bed.
STELLA'S POV
(Next morning)
I wake up still a little bit tired and I drag myself out of bed.
"Mom." I say out loud.
"Yes!" She quickly responds.
She's wearing a nice robe and has a cup of coffee in her hands.
"How was it last night?" She grins.
"It was fine." I say.
"Did you to get along well?" She asks.
"Yeah..." I say
"Why wouldn't we?"
"Oh I don't know. Tell me about it" she says walking to the dining room.
I follow her and sit at the chair across from her.
"It's was just a plain dinner okay. Nothing really happened." I lie.
A lot happened. He asked me about Harry. I found out Harry lied.
"Oh come on Stel. Something have had to happen with that cutie." She smiles.
"I might have gotten a job?" I say.
"See! That's good! Maybe you can pay some bills around here." She winks.
"Yeah okay." I smile.
"I'm gonna shower."
"Okay. What do you have planned? We need to get Aleah's birthday settled." She says sipping her coffee.
"Oh yeah." I say scratching my head.
"She doesn't want a party though."
"I know that. But we're taking her to dinner or something." She says swatting her hands.
"She wants just a few people here at home." I say.
"She's over exaggerating. We have to do something." She moans.
"Like?" I ask.
"I don't know. She's only have one 20th birthday party." She laughs.
"True." I say.
"We'll figure it out." She rolls her eyes.
I laugh and head to the bathroom.
"Don't take too long!" She yells from the other side of the house.
