-CHAPTER 12-

"How about Chris’ house party? It’ll be fun, we should go." Austin suggested and shrugged, which made me shake a little since his arms were wrapped around my waist.

Jacob, Austin, Elle, and I were all bored to death and wanted something to do, but I knew Austin was just trying to hook up Elle with Jacob which I didn’t mind, I thought they looked good together. Plus, I
loved hanging out with Elle. Since that day in Hot Topics me, Elle, and Austin were inseparable.

"You mean Chris Hummel?" Elle asked, looking up at Austin. She was wearing a pair of dark skinny jeans with a colorful "Never Shout Never" band shirt, looking gorgeous as ever. Her hair was up into a messy bun and her smoky eye make-up looked hot. I loved Elle to death, like a sister almost, but she was just too damn pretty!

I was wearing a hot pink Green Day shirt with the same exact pair of skinny jeans that Elle was wearing, a brand new pair of dark purple converse and, to my pleasure, Austin’s thick football jacket. I mean, the jacket itself was ugly (it screamed preppy) but it made me feel like I belonged to Austin and that was all that really mattered to me. 

Austin nodded for an answer.

"Ooh I wanna go! I wanna go!" I shouted loudly and shoved everyone into Austin’s car while sliding in the passenger’s seat.

I didn’t really want to go (dancing with alcoholic lunatics really wasn’t my thing) but if it could help Jacob and Elle get together, than I would just have to suck it up. And it probably wouldn’t be too bad with Austin there.

-
When we arrived at the huge mansion of a house, it was almost ten ‘o clock. The sun was nowhere to be seen and there wasn’t a single cloud in sight. But because of the beautiful full moon, it wasn’t too dark. The stars were scattered everywhere, lighting up the dark sky in random places and the waves were very calm, barely moving. It was a perfect night…Well, at least outside of the party.

As soon as we walked into the house, though, I could smell alcohol and cigarettes. Yuck. I could hear the crappy Britney Spears music, even from the outside, perfectly. The house seemed to vibrate from all the noise. But the inside was worse. There were red plastic cups thrown everywhere, people were pretty much grinding with each other, and in the corners there were "druggies" smoking who-knows-what. Everyone had a cup of beer in their hand and couples were sucking each others’ faces off…Lovely, isn’t it?

The party was in full swing already.

When I grimaced at the sight, Austin apologized. Then he led me to one of the big, tan leather couches in the huge living room and sat me down close to him. The ceiling was very high and there hung a ginormous chandelier in the middle. There were shiny diamond looking things hanging off of the chandelier and I wondered if it was real…

"Sorry, love. I didn’t know it would be like this." He said, just loud enough for me to hear.

"No problem. I guess I’ll just have to take it like a man…or woman, whatever…" I said reassuringly, and Austin laughed.

"Just try to have some fun. You spent so much time studying for the finals these days…" He replied with a grin and I rolled my eyes.

"I’ll get something for us to drink." He added and left for the crowded kitchen. I didn’t particularly like alcohol so I knew I wouldn’t drink much of whatever Austin was going to bring.

As he walked back over to where I was sitting, I could see that both of his hands were busy carrying two cups of beer.

I took mine with both of my hands, carefully, trying not to spill any of it. I looked at it suspiciously while Austin laughed. He took a small gulp of it and said, "You don’t have to drink. I don’t really like this stuff either…"

I shrugged and took a small sip. It wasn’t too bad as long as I didn’t think of the taste.

A small sip became gulps, and soon after I was finished with the cup. Uh-oh. I knew I should have stopped at the first cup but I just couldn’t. Huh, I didn’t know beer could be so addictive…Well I guess that’s why there are alcoholics.

Austin would have and should have stopped me but he was too busy socializing with his friends.

One cup.

Two cups.

Three cups.

The beer just kept on coming and I couldn’t stop. One cup turned into five in a small matter of time. Between the drinks, my brain just stopped working and I was as dumb as Angela and her friends.

With one cup in my hand, I heaved myself off of the sofa and stumbled over to where everyone was dancing. Being so ditzy and clumsy from the drink, I fell down a couple of times naturally but some random preppy dude helped me up. I thanked him but hurriedly went away, not liking the perverted look on his face. I was sure he was drunk too- maybe even more than me.

At least at that time I cared enough to get myself away from the drunken man whores but on my sixth cup of beer I had finally lost it. I totally forgot about Jacob, Elle, or even Austin-especially Austin. I didn’t realize it at the moment, but I was acting like a total Barbie slut.

"Hey baby," He whispered in my ear as his arms encircled around my waist. Even in this drunken state of mind, I recognized him. It was Chris Hummel, one of Austin’s "buds".

His breath smelled like alcohol and it should have bothered me, but it really didn’t.

We began to sway to the bad music, me in his arms. We were close, too close maybe. My hands were on his muscular chest and his were on the small of my back. Our legs were touching, too-almost tangled. I could feel his hot breath on my neck and I shivered in pleasure.
I should have stopped right there. I should have but I didn’t. I was such a dumbass…

"You enjoying my party?" Chris looked down at me and winked.
I gave him a toothy smile and nodded.

"I am too, now that you’re here."

Any other day, that would have grossed me out. SO CORNY! But right now, I just brushed it off.

-AUSTIN’S POV-

"What the hell is Selena doing with Chris?!" I screamed angrily at Jacob, glaring at Chris. I couldn’t believe this! Even in the dark, I could make out Selena’s shape surrounded by Chris’ arms. They were close, WAY too close.

"Well, dude, I think they are grinding." Jake answered, puckering his lips as he watched Elle dance with some other emo guy. He sighed and gulped down his drink and left me there, fuming over Chris and Selena.

I balled my fists up and walked over to Selena in three quick strides. I grabbed her wrist and spun her around violently, making Chris jump back.

"HEY, whadda you think you’re doing?" He was obviously drunk and his words slurred into unrecognizable sentences.

I didn’t want to hear any of his crap so I shut him up with a punch. I knew Chris would try to fight me but I really wasn’t in the mood for it today, so I just hoisted Selena up on to my back and ran outside.

When I got to my car, Elle was already there, looking very worried. I ignored her and let Selena off of my back. She slumped down and fell onto the soft patch of grass on her ass, laughing and hiccupping like a caveman who just discovered fire. God, why did I have to go and get her beer...but even drunk like that, she was cute as hell. Right now though, I was too pissed with her.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING WITH CHRIS?" I boomed at her while Elle helped her up.

"Austin, she was drunk. She probably didn’t know what she was doing." Elle whispered at me and carried Selena to the back seat.

I shook my head trying to clear my head from all the anger. I would wait until Selena was back to normal, and THEN yell at her. There were people staring now anyway.

*
"Her parents looked really pissed…She’s probably gonna get an earful tomorrow morning, not only from her dad and mom but from you too." Elle sighed as she got back in my car.

We were in front of Selena’s house, having to drop her off.

"Damn right she will! Being drunk isn’t an excuse. What the hell was she thinking? I bet she would have had sex with him if we didn’t stop him…" I grumbled on angrily while Elle let me calm down.

"She wasn’t. And she didn’t have sex with him so just chill, Austin. You know you’re sort of scary when you’re pissed off?" Elle laughed nervously, rolling the window down.

"Sorry," I mumbled as I started the car.

With my lunatic driving, we were in front of Elle’s house in no time. I stopped the car on her driveway and turned off the radio. I looked out into the sky, not speaking.

I was very mad at Selena, but I was hurt too. How could she do that to me? I sighed heavily while Elle touched my forearm comfortingly.

"Thank you, Elle." I said as I turned toward her.

"No problem. That’s what friends do, right?" She smiled and patted my arm again.

Suddenly, her face became soft and her hand traveled up my body and onto my cheek. She leaned in closer and if I didn’t know any better, I would have thought she was trying to kiss me!

"Elle…" I objected, trying not to be rude about it. But when I spoke, she shushed me up with her fingers.

"No one’s here. Selena won’t know..." She whispered seductively and leaned closer and closer, and finally our lips met.

Her soft lips curved around mine and we were kissing before I knew it. When I tried to pull myself away from her, she crushed herself onto me, making escape hard. But I didn’t WANT to stop. I wanted to keep on kissing her. Oh what was I doing?! I was such a hypocrite. Here I was, being mad at Selena for grinding with another guy while I was making out with her best friend. Wow.

I tried to picture Selena’s face and pushed Elle off of me. At least some part of me was still normal.

"What are you doing, Elle?? I thought you were her best friend." I whispered into the darkness.

"I’m sorry, Austin. I am so sorry. It’s just that I like you, I had a crush on you since the very first day I met you. I know this was horrible of me but I can’t help it…I’m sorry, it will never happen again…It just seemed like you enjoyed the kiss as much as I did!" She replied back.

I shook my head, knowing full well she was right. "I think you should go now." I said.

"I’m sorry. Good night, Austin." She murmured and left quickly.

"Night, Elle." I said back, a little too late, and drove away as fast as I could, trying to push away the guilt.

-Elle’s POV-

When I got out of the car, I saw Angela ‘O Donnel standing there on my front step. This night was getting more interesting than I had planned.

I smiled at myself, feeling very confident. Oh, breaking Austin and Selena up was going to be easier than I had thought. The kiss was brilliant and Selena pretty much had dug her own grave. Sorry, honey.

"Just listen for a moment." I heard Angela say as Austin drove away. "I know you are not innocent or even a friend to Selena. I just saw what you did in the car with Austin. I think we could be a great team against Selena. I don’t know what you want from any of them, but I know a dirty little secret that Austin has that would break them apart very easily. All I want is revenge. You could be a great addition to my plan…"

"Huh, a dirty little secret?" I asked cautiously. What did Selena do to Angela that drove her to this? I didn’t really care though as long as it would help me. (:

Maybe Angela would actually be helpful. I mean the dance was only days away and I needed to do something quick. This dance, they were going to have a "Spring Fling Queen" and people were going to vote tomorrow and right now I knew Selena and me were the two nominees. I couldn’t let Selena win now could I?

"Yes. Austin has a very dirty secret that might be useful to you." Angela snickered and looked every bit as evil as Cruella.

"Tell me. I’ll help you with your revenge if you help me." I said and stepped closer to her.

"Well then I guess we have a deal."
