Almost

_ F O U R T Y - T H R E E _

Avery's POV:

We held each others stare, none of us moving at all.

"Avery?" Shaking my head and looking down towards the person who called me I see Elena ushering me to come forward. I quickly glance back at him before going down the rest of the stairs, entering the crowd of people.

Faith and Veronica had already disappeared off somewhere with the twins so it was just Elena and I and I'm sure it'd stay like that for the rest of the night. "Drinks?"

She nods her head and we both go to the kitchen. On our way we pass Camryn and I purposely shoulder him as I go by. Was I being petty? Yes. Did I care? No.

Today id be able to drink freely, as much as I wanted. I was at home so it didn't matter how much I drank. Entering the table we both go towards the large counter that had many a selection of drinks.

Looking around at the different drinks, I take a bottle of vodka and pour myself some in a red cup and down it filling it up again. My alcohol tolerance was high so I didn't think id get drunk, just very tipsy at the most.

"This tastes good." Elena says taking a large gulp from a can of beer.

She gives me a small smile and I nod. "Yup."

I pop the 'P'. "Lets go dance!" 

I nod finishing my cup of vodka, throwing it into the bin and then taking the entire bottle, I needed more alcohol in my system for me to get through the night. She then pulls me out of the kitchen towards the dance floor, which was just their sitting room with all the furniture removed. 

We push through the tons of people finally getting to the middle of the floor. Elena puts her hands in the air and starts moving to the music, I follow her lead also dancing while drinking the vodka. 

A little while goes by and as we dance two boys I don't recognise join us and start dancing with us. I turn around to face the boy as he puts his hand on my waist not pulling away. I look up at him and he smirks, he was very good looking. His bleached buzz cut contrast to his gorgeous dark skin and eyes, his chiselled jaw made his looks sharper and I liked it. 

I move along to the beat with him and feels his hands go lower down my back but for some reason I don't care and even move closer to him. Briefly I look over his shoulder and see brown eyes looking at me over the rim of a red solo cup, following my every move looking daggers. It was Camryn.

I remember as children, he'd hate when any boy got close to me. Even if I told him that we were just friends and nothing else he'd always find a way to chase them away from me. I didn't know why he did that though, every time id ask why he'd use the excuse of saying he didn't trust them.

Not knowing why, I feel like annoying him even further. I take off my mask, throwing it somewhere before shaking out out my hair. I take a swig of vodka all the while keeping eye contact with him. Then looking up at the boy, who was looking at me as though he would devour me, I lean in and kiss him.

The kiss is hot and sloppy, neither of us taking our time. Without breaking the kiss I angle my body to meet Camryn's eyeline and almost smile into the kiss when I see his face. The boys hands inches lower and soon enough he's gripping my ass and he moans into the kiss. I can taste the alcohol on his tongue as he explores my mouth and I hate it but I'm too tipsy to care.

He pulls me closer to him attempting to deepen the kiss and at this point I decide I've had enough. I've already seen that Camryn is mad and that was my goal from the start so I want to stop. I put my hand to his chest to push him away but either he doesn't want to stop or he's too drunk to notice but he wont let me go. I look past his head to see Camryn rushing over to us but before he can do anything the guy is forcefully pulled away from me and is shoved to the floor.

"What the fuck do you think your doing with my little sister?" Damon stands in front of me with his hands clenched into fists. 

The boy looks dazed as he gets up from the floor, stumbling slightly. "I- I thought- Dude. She kissed me first."

He scratches his head in confusion as he looks at Damon. We've caught the attention of some of the people on the dance floor. I look around for Elena and when I do see her my eyes widen. She's kissing a girl and her eyes must've opened from the commotion because when she sees that I've seen her she detaches herself from the girl and runs out. 

I'm about to follow after her but I'm stopped as Damon holds on to my arm. "What the hell were you doing with him?" 

"I... He wouldn't let me go that's all." I rush out wanting to find Elena.

He rolls his eyes. "I would've busted his brains out if there weren't so many people. But just a reminder do not kiss drunk boys, especially the college ones." 

"College?" I squeak. I didn't know that he was that much older than me, I didn't even think of it as a possibility. 

"Your so stupid." He says shaking his head.

"Thank you, though." I say.

"Pfft. I didn't even do anything." He says scratching his neck trying to brush it off but I can see the colour rush to his face. "I'm gonna go smash some chicks. Bye."

I shake my head at him as he walks away. Leave it to Damon to say something like that when he's embarrassed. I cant help but feel happy that he came because honestly, he was the last person I expected to do that.

"Right. Back to Elena." I say to myself as I turn towards the direction she ran to. 

Seeing that confirmed my thoughts. Whenever the girls talked about boys she was never interested and also zoned out. And when she said she 'wasn't into that' when I asked her about the twins I kinda thought so. I never asked though because it wasn't my place to, she should feel comfortable telling me in her own time. 

As I walk out of the crowded dance floor someone steps in front of me. I move to walk past the person but he  blocks my path again. Ready to ask the person to move I see Camryn and he's not happy.

"May I help you?" I ask with a smirk.

"What are you trying to do?" He asks me crossing his arms looking pissed off.

I point to myself with mock surprise. "Me? I didn't do anything."

"Stop fucking with me Moneece." 

I tilt my head to side when he uses my name, suddenly sobering up. "Well Gavin's, I can assure you I'm not 'fucking with you' as you think I am."

He scoffs looking to the side. When he turns to me again he bites his lip and I have to stop my tipsy self from throwing myself at him right then and there. 

Wait, forget I ever said that.

"If that's all then I'm going to go." I move again to leave but he blocks my path yet again.

"No you're not." Suddenly he grabs me and he throws me over his shoulder walking in the opposite direction of where I wanted to go.

"Put me down!" I kick but he doesn't let go an continues walking away with me on his shoulder.
