I pour myself a shot of vodka, a few cheers -the loudest from Freezy- and down it in one.

After a couple more, I could already feel the stress leaving my system and being replaced with a bubbly, slightly hazy and more relaxed mood.

I decide to go find Talia or Freya, the buzz guiding me around the apartment. I waved a greeting at the guys, all of them present apart from Harry. I guessed he was getting ready elsewhere.

I skip to the behind of a girl with bright pink hair, immediately knowing it was Talia.

"Heyyy girliee!" She squeals, the smell of alcohol lingered on her breath.

"Babes, your drink already?! Could have waited for me!" I giggle, and take Talia's hand and lead her to the drinks.

We find Freya pouring herself a shot, and I creep up behind her and jolt her, "boo!" I shout in her ear.

"Jesus Kelli! Mind my drink!" She laughs and pushes me gently, handing me a shot as well as Talia.

"Bottoms up," I say to myself, and in sync we take our shots.

"No one told me we were doing shots now!" Freezy says, being drawn to the table. "Now we're talking," Freezy grins, pouring himself a shot and us another.

"At least wait for me!" JJ calls from the other side of the room, grabbing the attention of the boys.

Another six shots are poured and in us is on we drink. Feeling the effect of the vodka, I take a seat on the sofa and tweet out;

'If I tweet anything after this, it's not me. It's the drunk me talking. Caution'

I hit send and then decide to stop sitting around, getting up to mingle. I see Josh and Freya, obviously a little tipsy, and go say hello. "You alright?" Freya smiles, and I nod.

"You guys seen Harry?" He's normally the life of the party," I ask, not knowing why Harry was in my mind. Why did I care where he was?

"Not sure, probably with you know who," Josh rolls his eyes.

I thank them and leave them to do whatever they were doing. I stand their like a sore thumb, everyone seemed to be with someone or occupying themselves. "Little lost there?"

I turn around to find the one girl I didn't want to see tonight. Something about her made me despise her, and I didn't want her to stick around long enough for me to find anymore reasons. "I'm fine, thank you," the bitterness in my voice clearly showing.

She replied with a colder tone. "That's good to hear, cmon Harry," she drags him away, but before he's out of sight, he gives me a look of sadness, almost guilt, but I can't grasp it. And I look back once more and he has a drink in his hand, accompanied with a huge smile.

I shake my head, trying to calm myself and my brain, both of them are confusing people.

"Mind if I connect my phone?" I ask Vik, who has his connected to the huge speakers.

"Yeah, course," he gestures. I fist bump the air and connect to the Bluetooth.

I immediately click on Oasis's 'Don't look back in anger' and instantly begin vibing.

"KARAOKE," Talia screams at me, and I nod vigorously.

She hobbles over to me, her heels doing no justice, neither does her drunken state. By the time she gets over, she makes in just in time for the chorus.

The last lyric before the chorus fades and then Talia and I take a deep breath and begin.

"And so Sally can wait
She knows it's too late
As we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say!"

We high five and I put my hands on my knees, trying to get the air back into my lungs. "I'm grabbing another drink, you coming?" Talia's voice hoarse.

I nod for the millionth time that day. "You know it."

We stumble to the drinks, and I go for two shots as does Talia. "Mind if I join," Harry comes from out of thin air.

I don't have the strength to talk anymore so Talia replies with "duh!".

We clink our drinks and say cheers, me finishing in unison with Harry, and his face tells what his stomach feels. "Jesus, that one was, well, it."

I laugh, and before we can take another Freya reappears, "cmon we're playing spin the bottle. Don't ask my why, guessing JJ wants to do seven minutes in heaven with Simon," She howls with laughter.

"I'm drunk yeah, but Freya's off her rocker," I laugh at her, and follow Harry and Talia to the sofa.

I flop down on the soft cushions, my stomach barely managing that movement. Harry jumps down next to me, and Freya does the other side. Taking the floor, Talia sits in front of Freya, making small circles in the rug.

JJ stands up, as if he was about to make a speech. "So we are taking that stupid game and making it hard. Core. No backing down or your out."

Simon cheers and spins first. The bottle lands on Vik and he laughs. "Okay guys, Vik go give Freya a kiss and then Simon go sit straddled on Josh for the rest of the game."

"Cmon, really JJ? I can't do that to my guy Josh," Vik sighs. "Bye guys, I'm getting more drinks, Freezy?"

Freezy nods eagerly, and the two leave the game. Simon gives Josh a weird look, reminding me of the smirk emoji and straddles Josh. "This is gunna be awkward," Josh laughs looking at Freya's expression.

Freya spins next. It lands on Talia and the two girls squeal. "Alright, you guys have to make out for five seconds. Easy," the evil laugh from JJ arising.

The girls look at each other for a couple seconds and completely go for it. I cheer in amazement and before i knew it, it's over.

Simon rubs his eyes in awe and the girls part. "Let's forget that," Talia laughs breathlessly. Freya nods and they part, sitting back down as if nothing happened.

"Okay moving on quickly," JJ says, stifling his awe. He spins and it lands on Ethan.

"Been very quiet mate, so I want you to do a singing duet with me and make up a routine. That's so easy mate, just warming you up." JJ winks and begins playing 'Houdini' by Ksi himself.

Ethan lasts 30 seconds of dancing when he suddenly goes pale, running out of the room to what all of us could presume as the bathroom. "Well Ethan's out so it's my man Lux."

Cal obliges, and spins the bottle. It lands on Tobi as he rolls his eyes. "Cmon JJ, make it hard," Tobi laughs and listens to what JJ gives them.

"Okay guys, I want Cal to do a stomach shot off Tobi," JJ smiles as his choice of dare.

Cal shrugs as the vodka is poured onto Tobi's chest. He finishes the drink with ease and laughs it off, while Tobi stares in horror.

When everyone had been involved with one dare, it was just Harry and I left. After watching the others, I was nervously waiting my turn. "Okay Kelli I dare you to.."
