Alexis' POV
"What the fuck!" I hear someone shout behind me, I recognize it as Billie her voice.
I push myself off Charlie and luckily he let's go of me. When I turn around, I see a furious Billie standing there with disbelieve in her eyes. "What the fuck." She repeats, before turning around and leaving the house. I rush behind her, when I already feel tears rolling down cheeks. In my way to the door, someone puts a hand on my shoulder, keeping me from moving any further. I turn around and am ready to curse the person out, but I'm met by the worried eyes of Finneas.
I didn't even know he was going to be here.
"What's that about?" He asks, nodding his head towards the door where Billie had just stormed out. "Not now, I need to go after her." I tell him, while tears are still rushing down my face. Luckily he understands and doesn't hold me up.
I walk out to see Billie had just entered her car. She was about to start it, but we all know how it last ended when Billie drove her car when we had a fight. I quickly run over to her and jump in front of her car, to stop her from driving. "Are you insane!" She shouts through her window. I sigh and walk over to the passenger seat and get in.
"I can explain, alright. I would never cheat on you." I tell her as calm as possibe. "You were fucking making out with him!" She shouts, when tears start to rush down her face too. "Just listen Bil." I say, cupping her face with one hand, but she slaps my hand away and is about to get out of her car, but I grab her keys that she still has in her hands and lock the car quickly. "What the fuck, bitch, just let me fucking out!" She shouts. "Not before you listen." I tell her. "I don't want to fucking hear your bullshit!" She shouts. "Stop shouting." I tell her. She doesn't respond, she just sits there, staring out in front of her.
"I started talking to him because I wanted to know where Austin is." I say, she doesn't give any reaction on me talking, but I can tell she's listening, so I start talking again. "He told me that I look sexy and I just ignored his comment and asked him about Austin, he said he didn't know anything about Austin but that he knows that Austin doesn't know about the party. So the fact that he knows that Austin doesn't know about this party, means he knows at least something about Austin, but that's off topic. After talking to him I got up and was going to search you, but he pulled me back and I fell onto his lap and you saw the rest." I finish telling her what happend. She just sighs and shakes her head, but doesn't say anything.
"Say something." I basically beg. She turns her face to look at me and examines my face. Searching for any signs of me lying, I think. She sighs again. "Did he hurt you?" She then asks. "He wasn't necessarily gentle." I answer her. She reaches up to the switch of her lights in the car and turns them on. She then looks closely at my face again. "Fucking asshole, I'm gonna fucking kill him." She mutters, tracing her fingers along my jaw. "What?" I ask. She just pulls down the mirror in her car and makes me look in it. That's when I see it, his handprint is covering my jaw and a part of my neck. "I'm gonna fucking kill him." She says again. She takes the keys from me and opens the car, before storming out.
I follow her as quick as I can. She rushes in the house and when she sees Charlie is still sitting where he sat when we left she rushes over at him, I try to stop her, pushing myself through the crowd of people, but I am too late. When I arrive, I see she's grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. A look of fear is all over his face, I mean he probably remembers what she did to Austin that night at the three day trip.
"You fucking asshole, how you fucking dare to touch or hurt or talk to my girlfriend like that!" She shouts in his face. I walk over to them calmly and place a hand on her shoulder, I feel her tense up, before she relaxes when she realizes it's me. "Just leave it." I tell her. She gives me quick look, before turning to Charlie again. "You fucking lay one of your dirty ass hands on my girlfriend again, I'm gonna fucking kill you." She warns him and then pushes him to the ground. "Now leave." She tells him. He doesn't hesitate for a second and rushes out of Jose's house.
——————————
After about 10 minutes everyone minds their own business again and doesn't pay attention to Billie and I anymore. And in 10 minutes, it's New Year.
I'm now just sitting in Billie's lap, who's setting on the couch, talking to Remi, Harry and Morgan.
Jose comes over to us. "Okay, so for the countdown, I want to stand on the stage and count down, using the mic and then popping open a bottle of champagne." He says looking at Billie and I. "Okay, you can. Why are you telling us this?" I ask. "You guys have to make sure no one is on the stage anymore then." He says. "Just ask Owen to say it through the mic." I tell him. "Good, good, good." He says, pointing at me, before turning around to the DJ. This boy can be so weird sometimes.
He tells him something, before Owen turns down the music. "Okay, countdown is about to start, everyone make place for Jose on the stage please." Owen says through the mic, then he turns up the music again and hands the mic to Jose. Everyone leaves the stage and dance around it, while Jose makes his way onto the stage.
When it's only exactly 10 seconds left, the projector turns on and Jose starts yelling through the mic and his voice spreads through the whole building and even further through the speakers.
"Ten."
"Nine."
"Eight."
"Seven."
"Six."
"Five."
"Four."
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
"Happy New Year!" He yells through the mic, popping the bottle of champagne open, causing it to spray down on all the people surrounding him.
I'm still just sitting in Billie's lap, laughing at Jose going crazy. "Happy new year, babe." She says kissing me. She places her hands on both sides of my hips and pulls me close to her, so that I'm straddling her. She deepens the kiss even more. I move my hand, tangling my fingers in her hair.
"There you are."
What has Finneas with interrupting us all the time?
"I was searching you guys bro, I thought you guys were fighting. But it seems like you two are good." He says awkwardly, seeing what he interrupted. "Happy new year, by the way." He adds. Billie pushes me away a little, so she can look at her brother. "Finneas, seriously bro. You really know when to interrupt." She sighs, causing him to laugh. He sits down next to us. "Happy new year, Fin." I smile. "Thank you." He says.
"Where's Claudia anyway?" Billie asks. "She's celebrating new year with her family." He sighs, pouting.
Our little coversation is interrupted once again. "Come on, let's dance!" Remi shouts over the music, taking Finneas' and my hand and pulls us up, to the dance floor, Billie follows us too.
Half of our group of friends is dancing, the other half is off somewhere doing their thing, I guess. But I don't care, we all just dance and have fun for hours. Until I start to get thirsty. I tell Billie that I'm gonna go get a drink and leave to the kitchen.
I grab a bottle of beer and open it, taking a sip out of it.
"Hey, we're playing beer pong upstairs, you wanna join?" I turn around, to see Archie was standing there awkwardly. "Uh Billie is just right there." I say pointing at the crowd dancing. "I don't think she's gonna like it if I was gonna go play beer pong with the guy who basically got us broken up last time." I say awkwardly. He nods. "Just come up stairs to say hey to Richard then?" He asks, on which I agree. I mean, I haven't seen him at Christmas as usual, so I might as well say hey to him. I didn't even know he was going to be here.
I follow Archie upstairs to just find the other half of our friends is playing some game upstairs with some other kids from school.
"Hey Richard." I say when he's done throwing his ball. "Oh hey, how are you?" He asks, pulling me in a hug. "Yeah, I'm good. I didn't know you were gonna be here." I tell him. "Well I couldn't miss seeing my famous best friend, could I?" He says, causing me to roll my eyes. "I'm not famous." He shrugs. "Not far from being famous." He laughs.
I pull my phone out when I notice it has vibrated. It's a message from Billie.
Billie: Where are you? Are you okay? Thought you were just gonna get a drink.
Me: I'm upstairs with Archie and Richard
Less then five minutes later I see Billie coming up the stairs too. When she sees me, she comes standing next to me, slipping an arm around my waist, probably to remind Archie and Richard that I'm taken. I'm proud of her for keeping it cool though. She shakes both their hands, giving them a smile. We make some small talk with Archie, while Richard is finishing his game of beer pong with the guys he's playing with.
"You guys want to play?" Richard asks when the game is finished. Billie shakes her head. "No thank you, I don't really drink." She says. "Alexis?" Richard asks. "No, Alexis doesn't want to play either." Billie answers in my place. She takes my hand and drags me away from Archie and Richard.
"Where are we going?" I ask her when I notice she's not dragging me downstairs. But before she could answer, I already saw she was taking me to the stairs that lead to the highest floor. Jose had closed off the entrance to the stairs with forbidden access-tape, but she just rips it open and takes me upstairs.
"I thought Jose said nobody was allowed to get to the highest floor?" I ask her. "I don't care what Jose said." She mumbles and keeps walking.
When we get upstairs, we enter a room that looks like the living room that was downstairs, but way nicer. Billie pushes me onto the nearest couch. "Finally alone." She mumbles against my lips, while straddling me.
Well, this is hot.
"Happy new year." She whispers in between kisses, while she slides my shirt off.
