I officially give up, Ryder definitely hates me. Jake and Maya are god knows where. I have yet to talk to Liam or see him. On top of everything the house is a mess. Plus I didn't know what to say to Ryder so, I hung up.

Typical drunk me I swear, my phone kept vibrating for a good minute after that though. But, I know if I was sober I would never have hung up.

"Octavia where the fuck have you been sweetheart!" I seen Jake yell to me drunkly yet happily.

I was so happy to see him more than usual which was mostly because of the alcohol, "Looking for you!" I yelled back over the music and walked over to him hugging him while he hugged me back.

Yes definitely the alcohol.

Then I seen Maya with Jacob making out in the corner, I'm so lecturing her tomorrow. We pulled away and started making our way to the kitchen.

Where Liam was unexpectedly, "Wow Octavia." his face looked like he was blushing and he scratched the back of his neck nervously, "You look great." he said, eyeing me up and down.

Maya picked my dress, she said it made me look elegant yet sexy. It was a black thin strap dress that went to my mid thigh.

"Thank you, you don't look to bad yourself." I smiled genuinely.

"Thanks." he replied, winking as he walked over to pull me into a hug in which I returned it.

In that hug it felt as if a thousand memories came rushing to the surface. All of our late night facetime calls, messages. The nights we'd sneak out, our show marathons. The kisses we shared and cuddles-

I quickly stopped myself because, my heart hurt, I realized it was because of Ryder.

"How have you been?" he asked, pulling away and getting me another beer.

I was already drunk as it is but, my mind couldn't stop my hand from accepting it, "I've been great how about you?" I asked.

"That's good, I'm glad." he said seeming happy for me, "I've been good too, I'm just on my break and wanted to come visit my mom." he smiled when he said this.

"That's great how is she?" I asked, drinking my beer and looking around.

My brother, Maya, Jake and Jacob were all staring at us. They knew what happened between Liam and I. We were just lovers that went wrong, I guess.

"She's good actually." his smile said it all, he was happy he saw his mom, Mrs. Black was a very sweet and caring woman.

I nodded, starting to feel dizzy, I closed my eyes for a second. Maybe I should get some water and fresh air.

"Do you need some water?" Liam asked me already knowing how I get when I'm drunk.

I nodded once again while he got me a water bottle and I took some sips, "Outside?" he asked, with a knowing smile.

I nodded again sheepishly and we went outside, it wasn't even that long. Until I seen a black car pull up, rather fast might I add. My stomach instantly filled with butterflies and my heartbeat quickened. We barely made it halfway down the sidewalk till he was right in front of us. His eyes were zeroed in on the arm Liam has currently wrapped around my waist.

He felt I was going to faint thus his hand, "Um-" Liam started but, me being drunk had to interrupt him.

"Hi Ryder." I said happily, making a hiccup escape my lips.

I really was happy he was here but, nervous that he was mad. His eyes snapped up to meet mine and they softened only a bit. Then he glanced over my outfit visibly stiffened.

"Can I talk to you, alone?" he asked sternly, his jaw clenching.

I slowly nodded, looking back to Liam, "Um Ill be-"

"Octavia why do you keep leaving me?" Jake asked stumbling out of the house, oh god.

I turned around, Liam's hand falling from my waist, "Jake come back inside!" I heard Maya say in a motherly tone, leave her to be the half sober one.

Jake sighed, "Fine mom fine." he replied mockingly, allowing Maya to drag him inside.

Seeing that made me laugh only I wish I hadn't, "I missed your laugh." Liam spoke from the side of me as he stared at me.

I felt my cheeks start to heat up, I don't know if it was because, I was drunk or if it was because, he still had that affect on me. I chose mentally the first option. No one could have the affect Ryder has on me with just one simple touch.

"Octavia." Ryder's voice sounded very strained and deep.

When I looked at him though it just wasn't him, he looked so blinded by his anger it didn't suit him. His eyes looked darkened and his jaw clenched and unclenched. He had his hands in fists making his knuckles pale from the tight hold. I even seen his eyebrow twitch a little. Liam had to know Ryder was mad.

"Liam, I'll see you inside, will talk in there yeah?" I asked rather fast.

"Alright." he looked warily between Ryder and I then walked inside the house.

"You still don't get it do you?" he asked, anger dripping in his every word.

"Get what?" I asked, my face morphing into confusion at his question.

"When I said you were mine, I meant it." he stated, then before I knew it.

His lips were on mine.
