HOPE'S POV:
It was 11:00pm and I had to get ready. The party was galaxy themed. It was a loose theme though. I knew a lot of people would just be wearing purples and navy blues but I wore this
Because I'm extra AF. I would be going to this party as Gabbie's +1. I didn't know any of the people there. I loved Scotty's videos but I didn't know any of them, really. Only famous Youtubers/viners were coming to this. They all had one +1 and as Gabbies only friend that wasn't already invited to this, she took me. I was really excited. I was going to meet SCOTT GLEN SIRE! This is all I've ever wanted. I like Alex's music and I watch his vlogs because they are so awkward, it's hilarious. But I'm not like, a hardcore fan. Gabbie told me to pack enough for two days just in case so I brought my "rise and cry" hoodie and my "Too Much Scotty" hoodie. I brought an extra plain black hoodie just in case a friend needs one. I grabbed two pairs of leggings, my black converse, three t-shirts, some underwear, and a bra. I put on my space converse. (I love Chuck Taylors)
I was only 20 and I knew people would be drinking. I also knew I was gonna be the designated driver for at least three people. I put all my stuff in my bag and ran out the door. I got in my car and drove to Gabbie's place
*over text*
Hope: I'm here
Gabbie: I'm coming down
Hope: did you stick with the theme?
Gabbie: I have a black dress with a baggy space hoodie over it
Hope: Lit
*end text*
Gabbie got into my car and said "DAMN"
"What?" I asked
"You look stunning!" She said
"I bought this outfit thinking it was cute but never had a reason to wear it. Plus, I don't like wearing crops. You know that" I said
"I know. I just don't get it" she said
"What do you mean?" I asked
"You are gorgeous! You are thin and tan!" she said
"Thanks. I just don't think that" I said
"PSHHHHHHHH" She said
"Are you gonna leave me?" I asked
"What do you mean?" she asked
"At the party. Are we gonna arrive and you walk away?" I asked
"No! I'm going to introduce you to my friends" she said
"SCOTTY?!" I scream-asked
"Yes, hun. Even Scotty" I said
"He won't like me" I said sadly, realizing the truth
"Why?" she asked
"I'm ugly, fat, stupid, and I'm not even FUNNY!" I pouted
"None of those are true. I guarantee at least one person will try to kiss you at this party tonight" she said
"I guarantee at least all EXCEPT one person -being you- will be repulsed by me" I said
"Scotty and you will get along" she said
"HOW?" I asked
"You both self harm" she said and we both got out of the car
HE SELF HARMS?! But he's so amazing! I mean, I'm not crushing on him because he has a girlfriend but still!
We walked into the building and those thoughts of his depression left my mind when I saw him flash Gabbie and I a smile. Gabbie walked over to him, David, Kristen, and Liza.
"Hey guys" Gabbie said
"Hey Gabbie and company" David said
"So guys, this is Hope. Hope, this is Kristen, Scotty, David, and Liza"she said, putting emphasis on Scotty's name
"Hi Hope" Scotty said to me, smiling
I literally melted when he said that.
"Hi" I quietly whispered, my head lowered
"Guys, I probably shouldn't tell you this and Hope will beat me later for doing this but she's a HUGE fan. And she wouldn't shut up about you guys the way here. This next part I REALLY shouldn't tell you but...she is especially a fan of Scotty and when I said she got to meet him her face fell and she goes 'he won't like me. ' because she for real thinks she mcnasty" Gabbie said
I blushed A LOT and said "Thanks asshole. Give them my biography why don't you. Tell them all my secrets why don't you?!" I said
"Gladly." she smiled
"NOPE" I said
"Girl please, you are so pretty! YOU STUNTIN!" Kristen said
"True" Liza says
"Where did you get that outfit?" Scotty asks. Kristen hits him "calm down Kristen. You're my number one"
"I got it on Amazon" I mumbled
"I think it looks really good on you" David says. Liza hits him "Calm down Liza. You're my number one"
"Thanks guys." I said
"Yo Hope, go grab me some punch" Gabbie said
"Sure" I said.
I saw as Gabbie and Scott kept talking and everyone else kinda dispersed.
SCOTTY'S POV:
I felt bad for Hope. She kept her head low and spoke quietly. I liked her. She seemed sweet. And seriously, Kristen looks so good in crop tops, so I am keeping that outfit in mind for her. Cause that's a cute outfit
As Hope went to get punch Gabbie looked at me seriously telling everyone else to casually disperse.
"She self-harms. She thinks she's ugly, fat, stupid, and not funny. That's why she was so worried"
"YO HOPE, CAN YOU GRAB ME SOME TOO?!" I call as I notice she's about to walk over with Gabbies
"Sure" she says so quietly, I can't even hear, I can just read her lips.
"Aw!" I said
"I thought you'd two hit it off since you both do it" she said
"Ah yes, all depressed people immediately become best friends" I said sarcastically
"Shut up" she said and I laughed.
Hope walked up with three drinks and handed me one really shyly, not meeting my eyes. She handed Gabbie hers. I felt SO bad. She took a small sip and then said
"How much sugar is in this?"
"Hope, look me in the eyes" I said
she nervously looked up and I smiled
"You don't have to worry how much sugar is in it. You are beautiful" and I smiled again. She blushed and looked down again
"So I hear you're a fan?" Scotty says
"She probably has some of your merch in the bag I had her pack" Gabbie says
I saw as her cheeks flushed with red and I laughed saying
"You do, don't you"
She just nodded.
Then Jake Paul walked up. (a/n: idk, just roll with it)
"'Sup scott?" He asked me
"Nothin' much" I said stiffly
"And who is this stunning young woman?" Jake asked
"Hope." Gabbie said
"She can answer" Jake said
"Or you can go." Gabbie said.
Jake walked away
"What the hell was that, Gabbie?" I asked
"Oh, Hope HATES the Paul brothers. She hates Team Ten." Gabbie said
I opened my mouth to say something but Hope interrupted
"Great, another reason for Scotty to hate me. Can I meet Alex, I'm done wasting poor Scotty's time" She said
GABBIE'S POV:
I know my best friend and when she said that, I could sense the tears in her eyes
"Oh my gosh, you're hardly wasting my time!" Scotty said
I looked over at him and mouthed the words
'she's crying'
Scott nodded and we walked to find Alex. He looked really stressed out as he walked to where Kristen was standing.
I walked up to Alex and made eye contact with him mouthing 'play nice' and he also nodded.
"'Sup Gabbie?" He said
"Not much. A friend of mine is a huge fan. She loves your music and your vlogs. She hasn't even seen you in David's vlogs though" I say
"What's your name" he says, grabbing her chin and lifting her head up to look at him. Tears sparkle in her eyes. He gently wipes them off as she says
"Hope"
"That's pretty. Fits for a pretty girl"
She blushes
"What's your favorite song of mine?" He asks her
"Speakeasy. I do really love lovestruck though" Hope says, smiling
How is he doing this? He's usually screaming. So like, wow! He made her so genuinely happy!
After me losing focus and staring into space for a couple minutes, I see that Hope's face is up, she's showing it, and she's laughing!
"I'm gonna socialize, Hope, just look for me when you need me. I'm not leaving the party, I'm gonna go get wasted" I say, honestly. I'm wondering how Hope looks so self-confident. Then I see the one fault, she's covering her stomach. I decide that she's not gonna be completely comfortable around someone as famous as Alex.
*TIME LAPSE AND HOUR*
HOPE'S POV:
I learned that Alex is not 21 yet and can't drink. Like me. I know because I told him
"I'm driving Gabbie. I can drive you as well if you want." and then he told me he's not even gonna drink but I might have to take him anyway because David Drove him and David is wasted.
Gabbie finds me and asks me to cut the Pineapple
"Weird request, why?" I say
"I WANT SOME PINEAPPLE!" She yells and I can smell the alcohol on her breath
"Okay". I do it on a white table. I don't use a cutting board. I cut through and the knife slips right through and cuts into the table.
(A/N: HOW'S ALEX BOUTTA REACT?!)
Nobody notices but Alex walks over and looks at me and grabs my face, saying
"That was the sexiest thing I've ever seen" and then he kisses me. I kiss back. I don't ever want the kiss to end. Alex knows all the best things about me. If we have a relationship, he's going to find out the worst. And then we WON'T have a relationship. So if this kiss ends, we will no matter what end up not in a relationship. Finally, we both resurface and I look up. Everyone is staring at us...dead silent.
Gabbie starts cheering, and everyone else joins. Seconds later, they all lose interest and that's it. I feel an odd amount of confidence and say
"Alex, I loved that kiss, a lot. But let me be right back. I have to clear things up with Scotty" I said, I had to talk to Scotty
I found Scotty and he said
"Two things.
1) I don't hate you
2) That was HOT" he said laughing
"Well, I hate me. That's why I said all that. And I'm telling you this because you do too. You hate yourself too. Even though you are so amazing. I laugh every time you laugh when I watch your videos. It helps me get through my depression without dying. And also, hell yeah it was. And more, are you drunk?" I ask
"A little too drunk to drive but I'm not that bad" he says
"I can take you. I'm not allowed to drink and my car has eight seats. It's a honda" I say
"That'd be cool. Can you take Kristen too?" he asks
"yeah, of course" I say
"Thanks" he says
"No problem" I say
I then tell Toddy, Kristen, Liza, David, and Gabbie that I'd be driving the, and we are leaving at 1:30 am. It takes some talking into. But basically, we're leaving in half an hour.
Alex and I talk for like, 25 minutes. Then I start collecting my group. We all pile into the car.
"Alex, why did you say me breaking tables was sexy?" I asked him quietly while everyone else was getting into the car
He smiles "I think it's cute that we both break tables."
