My nose scrunched as I sneezed, "Fuck my life!" I grumbled to myself. My feet were splashing in puddles as the rain was beating down on my head.

I swear every bad or embarrassing scenario that you can think of would happen to me. I have always had bad luck socially.

I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket. I groaned as I got it out of my pocket.

"Hello!" I shouted over the rain.

"Shit! You trying to make me deaf!" Heather shouted back.

"Sorry, it's raining!"

"I tried calling you before but you wouldn't answer. Anyways, Bobby asked me to go to this party tonight and..."

"You're going with him, right?" I said as I rolled my eyes.

"How did you know?"

"Ummm..." I don't know why I didn't tell her the truth. For some reason, in my head, anything to do with Jax should be kept a secret because if you're involved with him, you're automatically categorised as being no good, "Word gets around school pretty fast."

"Oh...well can you please come! Like Bobby is cute and all but I think I would feel better if you were there."

I sighed, "Look I'll think about it. I'll call you back when I get home! The rain is getting-" Suddenly the sound of thunder claps in the sky. I scream in fright, "Call you later!" I hung up on her. I was too distracted with the fact that I am still a while away from home.

I whipped my head around when I saw a car pull up. I stepped away cautiously. Who the hell is this?

The window rolled down and there sat Jake Remington, one of the most popular guys in school. I stood there dumbfounded.

"Hey! You need a ride?"

"What?!" I shouted over the rain. I knew what he asked, I was just in shock that he was talking to me.

He chuckled, "You look like you need a ride!"

I quickly opened the door of the car and jumped in. Jake chuckled, "What're you doing walking in the rain?"

"Oh," I said while laughing nervously, "I don't exactly have a car. I've always walked to and from school."

He nods his head, "Oh. My name's Jake by the way."

"I know." I mentally slapped myself in the face. What the hell is wrong with you, Milly! Why would you say that! You sound like a total creep now!

I laughed again nervously, "I mean, everyone in school knows you."

Jake chuckles, "I wouldn't say everyone. I'm just a regular person like you." I mentally rolled my eyes, yeah right.

Jake glanced at me for a moment, "You're in some of my classes, right? You're names Milly?"

I smiled and nodded my head, "Yeah that's me." It's crazy how you can got to school with someone for so long and only just now began to talk to them.

"Yeah I'm pretty sure you're in my biology class."

"Yeah I am. We've been in the same classes together for a couple of years actually."

Jake chuckles and scratches the back of his neck, "I'm embarrassed to say that I don't really remember you."

I shrugged, "You've got better things to focus on than people like me. I'm not offended or anything."

"Yeah but, if I had paid more attention...I would've gotten to meet you sooner." He smiles and side eyed me.

I froze as I felt my cheeks warm up. I didn't know what to say or what to do! DO SOMETHING MILLY! I coughed into my hand and smiled. What the hell is wrong with you, "So you and Rosie used to date right?"

Jake's smile left his beautiful lips, "Yeah, we did for about a year. She's dating Jax now. I really don't know what she sees in him."

"Yeah I gotta agree with you. Jax is...well he's-"

"He's a psycho. I'm surprised he hasn't become abusive yet. A rumour was going around that he killed someone back in the city. That's why their family moved here."

My brows raised, "Really? I never knew that. Jax is capable of doing terrible things but...murder? Really?"

Jake shrugs his shoulder, "I think he could do it."

The thought of Jax being a killer...I can't see it. But then again I don't know him as well as other people might.

"Anyways, enough of this serious talk." Jake said with a chuckle, "You going to the party tonight?"

"Oh ummm, I'm not really sure. I'm battling with the questions of: Can I be bothered to go? Will it be worth my while?"

"Come on, you gotta come!"

"I'm surprised you're even going considering it's at Jax's house."

"I'm in the mood for a good party, if it's at his, fuck it. I wanna party so that's what I'm gonna do."

I looked at my hands, "I dunno." I said unsure.

"Come on. It will be worth your while."

"How would you know?" I said with my brow raised in question.

Jake looks at me and said, "Because I'll make it worth it."

I felt my my cheeks heat up again and I became short of breath. I laughed, "Is that so?"

"Yup!"

"I'm gonna have to hold you to that."

I saw we had turned into my street, I frowned when I realised I never gave him my address. Weird. I pointed to my house, "This is me."

Jake's eyes harden slightly, "You live next to him?"

I frowned when I saw Jax was outside working on his car, "Oh yeah. We've been neighbours for a while now."

Jake's jaw clenched. But then he kind of shook his head, snapping out whatever the funk he was in, "I'll see you tonight, yeah?" He said.

I gulped and got my books out of his car. I smiled shyly at him, "Ummm maybe. I'll see what my plans are first." I actually don't have any plans, but I didn't want to seem too available, you know what I mean?

"Alright well, might see you later then. See ya, Milly."

I waved, "Bye, Jake."

He gives me wink and then drives off. I released the giggle I was holding in the whole time. "Oh my gosh, Milly," I said to myself, "Calm down! It doesn't mean anything. It's only just one of the most popular and hot guys in school just gave you a ride home and was flirting with you!" I giggled even more.

"Can you stop fucking giggling! My ears are sensitive to happiness!" Jax shouted from under his car.

I scowled at him and gave him the finger. It's not like he could see it, but still it was something. I went into my house and went to my room. I flopped on the bed and released a deep breath.

I looked at my closet and I realised, "Shit. What am I gonna wear?"

***

"Screw my life!" I shouted at myself. I had nothing to wear. I had finished a shower, did my hair and makeup...and now I've come to the clothes...the hardest part.

It was either too short, too low, it didn't sit right, it covered too much, it covered too little, the colour was wrong, the style was wrong.

"Why the hell do I even have this dress." I said to myself as I looked at this sparkly purple dress, "Ew." I threw it on the floor and took another look.

I have been looking for an hour through my clothes. Mixing and matching. And nothing. That's it! I'm not going! I have had it! I can't do it! I'm sick of this.

I flop on the bed and scream in my pillow. I turned my head to the side and looked out my window. It's already dark out.

Movement caught my eye. I sat up and saw Jax's curtains were open still. I felt my heart stop when he walked into my view...with no shirt.

He was wearing washed out blue jeans with NO SHIRT. His wavy blonde hair was all messy as if he had just come out of the shower. He lit a smoke and was looking at some shirts.

My eyes ran over the contours of his body. Okay I knew he was fit...didn't know he was THAT fit. His body was ripped and it was still dripping wet from the shower. I tilted my head and frowned, why do boys never dry themselves after a shower. They just put their clothes on while they're still wet!

As much of a psychopath as Jax is...you have to be blind not to see that he is hot as hell. Even just looking at him gave me chills.

I frowned and shook my head. What the hell, Milly! Stop it! He's an asshole. A complete and utter asshole! He doesn't give a fuck about you or anything that you do.

I quickly went to my window and closed my curtains as if I were closing all thoughts of him from my mind...but then I decided I would leave a slight gap open...just to see who arrives at the party of course, nothing more. I took in a deep breath and turned to look at my closet.

"Let's try this again."

***

I gulped at I looked at myself in the mirror. I felt unsure and yet sure at the same time. I had on black silk dress with some black strap heels. I felt too formal! Is this too formal.

I looked at my closet and grabbed the jeans jacket. I put it on just to see how it would fit.My brows raised in surprise as well as my confidence when I saw it kinda put the outfit together.

I had let my hair fall into it's natural curls and I kept my makeup natural. I didn't want to go too far.

I looked through the crack of the curtain and saw the party was in full swing. I heard the pounding bass of the music. People on both floors of the house.

I gulped and took a deep breath.

"You can do this, Milly. You can do this."

I went downstairs and and marched right out that door. Every step I took towards the house next door I wanted to take a step back into my house.

I haven't gone partying in a while and I've never partied with Jax Reed. I felt nervous of what tonight held. I didn't know what was going to happen.

I shook my head of such thoughts. Tonight will be fun! Tonight is going to be great! This is my chance to let loose. I wonder if Jake will actually be there? I wonder if we could actually hit it off tonight?

I walked into the house and it was full on. Coloured lights were flashing everywhere. People were dancing, some were on the couches hooking up, others were in the kitchen playing some dumb drinking game. At first I was thinking this was going to be shit. But as I made my way through the house, I felt myself become excited.

"Milly!" Someone shouted my name over the music.

I spun around and smiled in relief when I saw Heather. She came and gave me a big hug. She stepped back and took a look at what I was wearing, "Holy crap, Milly! You look so friggin hot! What the hell?! I'm your best friend and not even I realised how hot you could fucking be!"

I laughed and brushed her compliment aside, "It's whatever. You look great too! I like your shorts!" Heather was wearing some high waist shorts with a black lace body suit.

"You here with anyone?" She said.

I looked down at my feet and laughed, "Maybe!"

Heather's eyes widen in excitement, "Shut up! Who?"

I leaned in, "I bumped into Jake earlier. He wanted me to come and said that it'll be worth my while!"

Heather's mouth dropped open, "Jake? As in popular guy Jake? As in I wanna drop me panties and have your babies Jake?"

I laughed and nodded my head, "Yes! And keep it down!"

She screams and jumped on me, "NO WAY! Oh my gosh! Milly! You guys need to kiss tonight!"

I gasped, "We are not going to kiss! I doubt he even actually wants to hang out with me."

"Milly, if Jake said that he wants you at this party...it's for a good reason...a KISS is a good FUCKING reason."

I shook my head but chuckled. A kiss would be nice.

Bobby showed up behind Heather and grabs her around the waist, making her squeal and making me internally vomit.

"Heather! Baby! Come dance!" He said to her.

Heather looks at me, "Come dance with us!"

I scrunched my face and shook my head, "I'll pass. I'm gonna go get a drink!"

"Okay! Be careful though! Always be holding your drink!"

I nodded to her as she went off with her new found man for the night.

I sighed and went to the kitchen. I squeezed through the dancing and mingling bodies to get my way through the damn place. Someone pushes me from behind, making me stumble forward and crash into some guy.

The guy turns around and of course it had to be Jake. However, as soon as he saw me his eyes lit up, "Milly!"

I smiled, "Hey."

"You're here!"

I raised my hands, "I'm here! I wasn't gonna come but then I thought why not! Sorry for falling on you!"

He smiles and waves his hand, "Don't worry about it," his eyes run over my body and he whistles, "Shit...you look Milly. You look really good."

Oh no oh no! Milly don't! Stop! But it happened. I felt my face go bright red as I giggled and looked down, "I just threw it together. Everything was very last minute." Last minute as in three hours. But he doesn't need to know that part.

He grabs my hand, "Come with me, I'll get you a drink."

I saw how our hands looked together. It looked perfect and I couldn't help, but smile. We got to the kitchen and Jake made me a drink.

He hands it to me and take a sip, "Thanks! This tastes really good actually!"

Jake shrugs, "Yeah I'm pretty good at mixing drinks. Can hardly taste the alcohol. I was actually..."

Jake went on a rant about how he wanted to work as a bartender for a while after school, but everything seemed to drown out as I got distracted. People were smoking in the hallway. It was like a giant cloud in there.

But through all the smoke, Jax emerged from it and my heart was racing in my chest and for some reason I felt really nervous. He was wearing a leather jacket with no shirt. And he had one silver dangling cross on one ear. He had a smoke in his hand. I gulped as he entered the room with dominance. He wasn't intimidated by anyone. He didn't care what people were doing or saying around him. He just didn't give a fuck really.

For a moment, his piercing blue cat-like eyes looked at me as he passed. And for some reason I desperately wanted him to look at me longer.

"...Yeah, but I'm not really sure yet. I guess I gotta wait and see what happened."

I snap out of my daze and forgot Jake was even talking to me. But I smiled and nodded my head, "Right! That's really interesting!"

Jake smiles and nods his head toward the dance floor, "You wanna dance?"

I looked at all the dancing people. Yeah why not, "Sure!"

I looked over at Jax's way and see his tongue down Rosie's throat. Oh yeah that's right...Jax is a psychotic fuckboy. I sighed.

Jake pulls me on the dance floor and helps me forget about everything and everyone in the room. I close my eyes and let my drink run through my veins, relaxing everything and just letting the music control me.

I moved my hips to the beat of the song making me feel sexy as hell. Even though in reality I could possibly look absolutely and utterly ridiculous...and I've accepted that. What matters is I'm enjoying myself.

I felt hands grip onto my hips which made me smile. I opened my eyes to see Jake pull me against his body. I bit my lower lip in excitement as we began to dance together. Don't worry I wasn't going too wild. I kept things reasonably okay. But I did give just a little taste.

I was rolling my hips and he was loving it. He spins me around and makes my ass press against his front. I felt like that was a bit abrupt but I didn't really think anything of it.

I softy grind up against him and I smiled. He leans in and said, "You're so fucking hot." I giggled

He spins me around again, making me face him. His eyes look to my lips. He leans in and kisses me. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him back. His hands go down to my ass.

I pull back and chuckled, "You tryna cop a feel, mister?"

He smirks, "Can you blame me?"

I shook my head and laughed. I looked over my shoulder at the kitchen where I saw Heather. I turned around and said, "I'm gonna go see Heather."

Jake's brows raised, "Really? Now?"

I laughed, "Yes! You can't always get what you want Jake."
