We get inside the crowded house. The smell of alcohol and sweat instantly hits my nose. We make our way to the kitchen and see all the liquor bottles on the counter. I decide to fill up my cup with soda because I didn't feel like drinking plus I'll probably be the driver back by the end of the night.

We dance for a bit until I turned around and they weren't there anymore. They either ditched me or I lost them either way I headed back to the kitchen to cool off. I see a familiar boy standing next to the island.

"Hey!" I tap on the boys shoulder.

"Oh my gosh hi! I didn't think you would actually make it." Cameron gives me a bear hug. He smelt like alcohol and by the looks of it, he wasn't on his first drink.

"Yeah, I guess I changed my mind." I smile taking a sip of my soda.

We start talking about random stuff and somehow we made our way to the living room where everyone was dancing. We dance for a few minutes until he takes a step towards me and places his hand on my waist. I don't call out to the action because we were just dancing and it's was Cameron. I trust and know him well enough that I know he won't try anything with me and if he does, I'll knee him in the balls.

After dancing together for a bit we let go of each other and dance on our own. I hear a couple of gasps from multiple girls from the front of the house but I don't pay attention to it. I hear heavy footsteps walking towards my way. I stop dancing for a second and lookup.

All of a sudden I feel an arm snake around my waist pulling me towards them and a pair of lips attach onto mine. I didn't need to know who it was as I can already tell by the kiss. Only Theo makes my body feel ignited with fire and lips tingle. He passionately kisses me forcing me to open my lips and kiss him back.

The kiss throws me off guard making me realize where we were and who was watching us so I push him off with a bit of force then I attended to making him stumble back a bit. I was about to tell Theo off and say he can't just walk in and do that but he speaks up first.

"Let's go." He had this cold look in his eyes connecting our hands but I stop him. Why is he being so possessive and acting... jealous?

"What?! No, let go of me. Can't you see I'm with someone having a great time? Where did you even come from?" I take a step back.

"Athena I'll answer all those questions later. Just come with me. We need to talk." He tries to grab my hand again but Cameron steps in.

"She said no man." Cameron faces Theo.

"Who the fuck are you? Can't you see she's not interested and bored out of her mind? Fuck off!" Theo takes a step forward.

"Why don't you fuck off, she was having a great time until you showed up." Cameron fires back.

"Since when is dancing with a little bitch like you considered a "great time"?" Theo stares down Cameron.

Cameron doesn't say anything back and lunges at Theo. Theo tries to hold him back but Cameron gets a good punch at him catching peoples attention. I get between them telling them to stop but that doesn't work until someone grabs ahold of one of them. I got to hand it to Cameron, he has one hell of a fist making Theos nose bleed. If Cameron wasn't drunk right now he wouldn't have done that but I guess the alcohol got his adrenaline pumping.

"What the fuck Theo! Are you alright?" I walk up to him examining his nose.

"Yea I'm good but that little fucker is going to pay." He starts to get up but he gets pulled back down by the same guys that pulled them apart.

"You will not lay a hand on him. Can you stop it already?"

"I'll stop unless you let me drive you back home." He asks as he wipes away his blood. If it meant no one else gets hurt then let the torture ride begin.

"Yes, ok fine just don't fight anyone else." I roll my eyes helping him get up. I try to walk toward Cameron to see if he's ok but Theo pulls me back saying that he didn't even leave a scratch on him and that he's fine. We walk towards the front of the house but I look back one last time and give Cameron an 'I'm sorry' look.

While walking towards the entrance doors I try to scan the house for Lucas and Ryan but they weren't in sight. I hope they realize that I'm gone and safely find a ride back. I also pass some snobby looking girls probably the same girls that gasped when Theo came in, giving me a dirty look. We get to his car but I don't get in.

"I'm sorry Athena but this was my only way to get your attention. Please, just get in." He gets to his side of the car waiting for me to get in.

"No. Why do I need to get in the car? Why can't we just talk right now? Why did you come all this way just to talk to me? Why did you kiss me?" I ask all these questions that were bothering me since he kissed me.

"I kissed you because I was jealous alright! I hate the thought of you being with someone that wasn't me. That someone else could have you. That someone like that asshole could dance and talk with you in there while I'm over here trying to show you that I want you. I'll kiss you anywhere and in front of anybody just to prove it. That's why I kissed you." Theo confesses taking me by surprise.

Theo, jealous? He can practically have any girl that he wants but constantly tries to prove to me that he's all in. No this can't be the same Theo. He's changed?

To not make this whole situation worse I oblige and get in the car taking in all the information that Theo just confessed. I use it as a distraction for my brain as we drive in awkward silence. Halfway through the drive, he places a hand on my thigh. I try not to make the car ride more awkward and didn't call attention to the gesture even though my stomach and head were going crazy. I also didn't have enough energy to fight with him right now. I look over and see that he had this concentrated and serious look on his face as he focused on the road. I guess we both have a lot on our minds.

After one uncomfortable car ride, we finally arrive at my house.
