Ella's POV;

I add the last eyelash to my eye whilst smiling.

I was excited for the party, as I've been attending parties since I was 14 so they've kind of been a big part of my life.

I slip on my black heels and smile at my appearance.

I was so happy the dress fit on the chest area, as I didn't exactly have big boobs.

I was a B cup so I wasn't exactly the low cut top type, mostly because my boobs just wouldn't hold the top up and I could never pull it off.

I was happy with the way I looked though. I didn't have a thigh gap because I had quite big thighs. I mean they weren't huge, but I could become a mermaid easily.

My bum looked best though. I had quite a big bum which had its advantages, but it also had its disadvantages.

I had never really cared about my body though, I mean don't get me wrong I'm not entirely happy with my body, but who gives a s**t?

I stand In front of my mirror to take a selfie, and I sent it to Mattie.

I take my phone, and my overnight bag and head downstairs.

As I walk into the kitchen, I see my dad.

Great.

"Hey dad," I smile.

"Where are you going?" He raised his eyebrow at me.

"I'm going to a party with Blake and mum bought me this dress to wear especially," I say, knowing what he was thinking.

"Hmmm, okay sweetie, just please be careful," He says and I hug him.

"Bye mum!" I shout and she runs down the stairs.

"Oh darling you look gorgeous! Just please, remember you have a boyfriend," She sighs and I raise my eyebrow.

"I'm not a w***e mum," I state.

"No baby I know you're not, but you're going to get a lot of looks when you're this gorgeous," She says and I laugh.

"Mum, trust me I wont, anyway gotta go, Blakes outside!" I say before rushing out.

I spot Blake's car and put my s**t In the back seat before getting in the front seat.

"f**k Ella, you're so fit," Blake compliments me.

"Blake you cutie," I grin before hugging him.

"I do try. Have you spoken to Mattie yet?" He questions.

"Yeah, we're good now, like really good," I beam.

"That's good El, I'm so glad," He smiles whilst placing his hand on my thigh.

Just then my phone vibrates.

From; Mattie

I'm peeling that off you when you get here. X

I laugh at his response.

"What's loverboy said?" Blake asks.

"Oh nothinggg," I smile sweetly.

"Actually I don't wanna know to be honest," He grins.

"Joe rung me up when me and Mattie were about to f**k," I tell him and he bursts into fits of laughter.

"Oh my f*****g god! Does he know?" He asks, trying to stop laughing.

"Yeah, Mattie made it pretty clear that we were in the middle of something," I laugh.

"I bet Joe was so scared! Although if that was me I'd make you keep me on the phone coz you know, free porn and all," He says and my mouth drops open as I playfully hit him.

"What? Its hot teacher s*x who wouldn't wanna listen to it?" He laughs and I cant help but laugh too.

We pull into Chase's driveway and already the party is in full swing.

"Oh by the way I'm staying at Mattie's tonight so cover for me and tell everyone I'm staying at yours if anyone asks?" I ask, batting my eyelashes at him.

"Oh I thought you actually were staying at mine, that's why I didn't question the bag," he laughs. "But of course I'll cover for you," He smirks and I smile at him.

I hop out of the car and enter the party.

Blake grabs my hand as he pulls me through a web of tangled bodies, eventually getting to the drinks, where of course we find Donte, Chase&Nate.

"Ella! Blake!" Chase screams and jumps on us.

"Chase you nutter you're crushing me!" I say, my voice muffled as he gets off me.

"Sorry babe. You look good!" He smiles.

"Thanks Chase!" I reply.

"Elllllllaaaaaa!" A drunk Nate greets me.

"Nate," I nod at him before hugging him.

"You look hot," He smirks after we finish hugging.

"Go home Nate, you're drunk," I shout over the music before laughing.

"Helllll noooo, I've gotta find Jasmine, she tolldddd meee she would meeett me hereee," He slurs before disappearing.

"Ella," A sober Donte greets me. Actually Donte's always sober at parties come to think of it.

"Hey Donte," I hug him.

Once the short hug is over, I see Chase has disappeared too.

"I'm gonna go ring Jade and see if I can persuade her to drop by, find me in a bit though? I wanna see you before you go," Blake shouts.

"Of course I will," I yell back before fist bumping him.

"Where are you going?" Donte asks.

"What?"

"Blake said he wants to see you before you go, go where?"

"Oh I'm just sleeping round a mates," I tell him and he nods.

"Cool. Wanna drink?" He asks and I smile.

"Yes please,"

I watch him pop open the cap of a bottle of Smirnoff ice and hand it to me.

"Thank you," I reply before taking a sip.

I don't care that people say Smirnoff ice and WKD are p***y drinks, they taste good and if you drink enough of them, you'll get drunk which means they're doing their job.

**************************

After a game of strip truth and dare, in which I was still fully clothed apart from my shoes were off because I completed every dare but one and answered every truth question, maybe not as truthfully as I could but nobody knows that, I had only had 2 drinks.

That's a f*****g record for me.

"Come on Ella, lets do shots!" A guy named Scotty shouts at me.

I know him from previous parties, and because I was quite the party animal I tend to do a lot of alcohol based games with him.

I wanted to so badly, but I had to keep my word to Mattie.

"Nah, I'm not really feeling too well," I clutch my stomach to make it look real.

"Bullshit, you'll just scared you'll lose," Scotty challenges me.

"No, I always win against you, I just feel like s**t," I say.

"Ella! You're not losing your game are you?" I turn round to see Donte standing there.

"No, I'm just not feeling too great, you know girl stuff," I laugh, hoping that will gross them out enough to leave me be.

"Well why come in the first place? Come on El just do a few shots, I hope you're not losing your touch, you are the life of the party remember?" Donte says and I hear everyone cheer.

God I want to so bad. I mean I'm not an alcoholic obviously I mean I'm only 16, but being as I was going to house parties for a long time now, alcohol was basically a part of me. Sounds stupid I know, but when I was so low, alcohol was there making me forget all the s**t I didn't want to remember and I also do love being the life of the party, its an adrenaline rush, having everyone there with you, wanting you to party with them, it was brilliant.

But I'm in complete and utter love with Mattie, and I just couldn't do anything to jeopardise that.

"No," Is all I say before walking off and hearing a load of boos and "you suck" thrown my way. Not that I cared of course.

I went outside to grab some fresh air and I spot Blake on the phone.

"Okay babe, I'll see you in a sec, bye," He says before hanging up.

"That was a long phone call," I say.

"Nah I've literally been on the phone for 2 minutes, I had to break up a fight between some dickheads, then someone offered me a cigarette so I smoked that, then I got into conversation with some guy," he tells me and I nod.

"Why you out here?" He asks and I sigh.

"What the f***s up El? Has anyone hurt you? I swear to f*****g god I'll stab a b***h," He says through grit teeth.

"Blake, no ones hurt me," I say whilst smiling because his protective side is so sweet.

"What's up then?" He asks.

After telling him the events that occurred just moments ago, he just stands there staring at me.

"Wow. Sorry its just you? Turning down a drink?" he tries to lighten the mood and he does make me chuckle a little bit.

"Nah seriously El, I'm proud of you and I know loverboy will be too," He pulls me into a hug.

"I just feel s**t though because I'm never the party pooper," I sigh.

"Yeah, but you weren't a party pooper. You were simply turning down a few drinks in fear that you'll get smashed and not keep your word, which is fair enough really, f**k anyone who thinks differently you're smarter than them anyway," He smirks and I laugh slightly.

"Look El," Blake sighs. "I know your party status is important to you and I completely understand that, everyone's got something that's very important to them, and yours is this. But you cant let a few t***s knock you back just because you're keeping your word to someone who's incredibly important to you. You can always redeem yourself by coming to the next party and getting so pissed you cant remember your name," He winks at me and I laugh more this time.

"True, thank you Blake. But Donte was a part of that and you called him a t**t," I say.

"No problem El you know I've got your back, and well he is a t**t if he's a d**k to you, I'd pick you over the boys anytime, you know that," He says and I smile.

"Where's Joe by the way?" He asks me and I shrug.

"Not sure, I haven't heard from him since yesterday when he rung me during you know what," I feel my cheeks heat up at the memory.

"Ah he's probably scarred for life," Blake jokes.

"Anyway, can I get my s**t out of your car please? I'm gonna ask Mattie to pick me up a few blocks down in case Donte comes out because he's still sober," I say to Blake.

"You're already leaving? You've only been here an hour," He pouts.

"I know babe, but I don't wanna go back in there now," I tell him and he nods.

"I understand," He says before opening his car and giving me my bag.

"Want me to stay with you?" He asks.

"Nah its alright, I'll be fine, I'm just gonna walk up a couple of blocks and meet him there, you stay here and wait for Jade, I'll text you," I tell him and he nods.

"Alright babe, well ring me if you need me and I'll be there in a flash," He smiles before hugging me.

"See you later, love you prick," I say to him.

"Love you too slut," he grins before I turn my back and start walking.

I dial Mattie's number and he picks up after a few rings.

"Ella baby, are you okay?" He questions.

"Yeah, can you pick me up please?" I ask.

"Text me the address and I'll be there as quick as I can,"

"Okay babe," I smile to myself because he's just too amazing.

"Oh and Ella?"

"Yes?"

"I love you,"

"I love you too Mattie," I grin before hanging up.

I look around and find where I am before typing it on my phone and sending it to Mattie.

I start to shiver as the icy cold air hits me, and I feel stupid for not bringing a jacket.

I open my bag and rifle through it until I find my Nike hoodie and slipping it on.

Much better.

I stand there waiting for a good 10 minutes before I see bright car lights and make it out to be Mattie's golf.
