+25 Bonus

I slowly make my way down the stairs, I have no desire to go to this party. I hate that so much is changing right now. I have a plan and I don’t want to do anything that might make me drive off course, but it is nice to feel like I have some more people in this pack that will be there for me. Maybe I’m more attention deprived than I thought, My mind keeps telling me this is all a joke, and I know I should listen, but my heart wants it to be real. To have more than one person in my corner, not that Mia’s not enough, because she’s more than, but I don’t know, There’s just a part of me that really hopes their friendship is real, that I’m not being played. Granted, me feeling that way might very well be playing right into their plans.

I grunt and sit on my front porch and watch over at Liam’s house, I’m wearing jeans and a gray tight long sleeve shirt with Dallas’s coat on over it, and the necklace that I never take off. It’s silver and the pendent is of two hands holding up the moon. My mom gave in to me, before I can even remember, but when I was younger, she would always tell me to never take it off, so I haven’t. I think she conditioned me to well, I forget I’m wearing it half the time, but I don’t mind. It really goes with anything.

I figure now is as good of time as any to give Dallas back his coat but might as well put it to use before I get over there. I figure coming home is just a quick run across the street, I’ll live. There are so many cars already over at Liam’s house, my anxiety is getting the best of me. I can’t find it in me to get up off the porch and walk over there. I’m already late though, it’s already nine thirty. Maybe, I should have taken Dallas up on his offer.

As if I summoned him, I see him walk out of Liam’s house and start walking over to me. Once he’s closer I can see his giant smile, it makes me happy to see him. “See, knew I’d have to come get you.” He chuckles and puts his hand down for me to take. I reluctantly take his hand with a frustrated moan. He just laughs at me as he pulls me over to the party.

I watch as everybody stares at us walking into the party. I see people glancing at our hands intertwined, and I go to pull it away. He tightens his grip and smiles back at me. I really don’t want people to think we’re a couple, but it seems unlikely considering his grip on my hand and his coat wrapped around me.

He pulls me through a lot of the crowd until we reach the kitchen. “You want a drink?” Dallas asks me, and Liam comes out of nowhere and answers for me. “We have soda in the fridge for her.” I don’t know why that pisses me off so much. It was actually what I was going to ask for and it was nice of them to consider that I wouldn’t be big on alcohol, but the fact that he’s just assuming in front of me pisses me off. I glare at him, but like always he’s expressionless. “Actually, I’d like to try something stronger. Can you make me something Dallas?” I ask Dallas sweetly, and Dallas smirks looking over at Liam. Liams expression turns darker, and he walks out of the kitchen. “Yeah, no problem. You like fruity?” He asks smiling, and I just shrug. I’m sure fruity will taste good.
