Dana Harris' POV.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" I ask, looking up at Nicolás, who has a small grin on his face.

"Relax Harris, I'll be by your side the whole time!" He says, nudging my shoulder.

I grin back, relaxing a little bit.

He grabs my wrist and pulls me towards the thumping beat of the music in the house party, which is in full swing.

I grab Zoë's hand and drag her with us.

If I'm going down, so is she!

She scowls at me, but then her eyes light up, when she sees the table with the drinks.

She motions to the table with her thumb.

"I'm going to get us some drinks!" She yells over the loud bass.

"You wanna dance?!" Nic says into my ear to be heard over the music.

I giggle.

"I can't!" I respond.

He raises an eyebrow.

"You lying to me Harris?" He asks.

Just as I'm about to respond, Zoë comes back with our drinks, which are in some red solo cups.

She gives me and Nic our drinks and leans in to talk in my ear.

"Don't make it obvious!" She says.

"But turn your head 90° to your left!" She says.

I pretend to scope the room and my eyes land on a sight that makes my heart crash a little.

Leonardo is here.

And he is not alone.

He is dancing with an extremely beautiful girl.

Her 4b hair is tied into a high ponytail and her toffee coloured skin glows even in the dim lighting.

She wears a pair of extremely short pair of shorts and a crop top that hardly covers any of her skin.

He seems to hardly notice, his face in her neck, hands gripping her hips, which are grinding against his own.

Her arm is slung across his back which is covered in a plain black t-shirt, paired with a pair of black jeans and Louboutin sneakers.

Her green cat-like eyes shine with glee and I tear my eyes away from them.

I look at Nic, who bops his head to the beat and mouths some of the words, in between sips of his drink.

I look at Zoë, who is already getting friendly with a boy in one corner of the room and my sadness is suddenly replaced with anger.

I'm at a damn party!

Now is not the time to mope over a boy...

Who has clearly moved on.

But that is besides the point.

I'm about to have the night of my life and Leonardo is definitely not about to stop me!

I put the cup to my lips and swing back the contents, trying not to cringe at the burning taste.

Nic raises an eyebrow at me, but before he can say anything, I grab a fistful of his shirt and pull him to the dance floor, dropping the cup on the nearest piece of furniture.

'Please me- Bruno Mars featuring Cardi B' starts to play and I smile to myself.

I guide a confused Nicolás' hands to my waist and he holds them, letting me pull him close.

I start to dance, moving our bodies to the beat.

I roll my hips into his and a small smirk finds its way to his lips.

I grin shyly and continue, giving him permission with my eyes to let his hands roam.

His fingers trail slowly down the small of my back and he puts his hand in my back pocket, making me bite my lip to stop from shivering with want, despite the heat from our bodies and the heat from the other bodies around us.

I can't lie, the boy is very attractive.

His hair falls over his dark brown eyes a little and I drag my hands through his hair, tugging a little and he bites his lip.

I run my hands down his muscular body, feeling them flex slightly underneath his white t-shirt with his movements.

He pulls away slightly and then to my shock, he turns me around so that my back is facing him.

I grind on him, slowly making his grip tighten and one of his hands move to my own hand, which he holds, pulling me close enough to feel his arousal in his kaki pants.

I gasp a little, but continue until the song is over.

I pull away from him and shock is written all over his face.

I smirk and grab his hand.

"Let's get a drink" I say to him.

He nods and leads me to the drinks table, which is in the kitchen, reducing the music to a dull throb.

He pours me a drink, before pouring himself one and then he starts to speak.

"So you can't dance huh?" He asks with a grin.

I shrug.

"I know a few moves" I admit, taking a sip of my drink.

He nods.

"Uhh, huh! A few moves." He teases, poking my side, making me giggle.

"Stoppp!" I giggle and he continues, making me spill some of my drink on the ground.

He suddenly straightens up and goes straight-faced at whoever is behind me.

I get a whiff of their cologne and I mentally face-palm.

Leonardo.

I turn around, to see him standing over me, glaring at Nicolás.

"We need to talk" he says, looking at me.

I step back.

"We do?" I ask sarcastically.

He clenches his jaw.

"Yes, we do" he says.

I shrug.

"Talk" I respond.

His eyes flick to Nicolás behind me.

"Tell your bodyguard to back off first" he sneers.

"Don't talk about him like that!" I snap.

I turn to Nicolás and sigh.

"Could we have a few minutes?" I ask and he nods, leaning down.

"If he tries anything, come and find me" he says and I grin, wrapping my arms around his neck in a hug.

"I don't deserve you" I tell him and he chuckles, pulling away first and pressing a kiss to my temple.

"I'm going to find my sister and then come back for you" he offers and I nod.

"Okay" I respond.

When he leaves, I turn to Leonardo, who looks at Nicolás walking off.

"What is it?" I ask rudely.

"You move on quickly" he quips.

"Don't talk to me about moving on quickly, when I saw you basically dry humping that bitch a minute ago!" I snap and I suddenly feel bad.

I don't even know the poor girl and I am already labelling her as a bitch, just because she was dancing with my...

Ex.

"So you noticed" he says, stepping closer with a triumphant smirk on his face.

I step back.

"I think Kim Jong Un noticed from the latest missile in North Korea!" I respond sharply, rolling my eyes and taking a sip of my drink.

"I've missed you" he says and I snort.

"It's been nearly a month, you've had enough time to-" I start to say, but I look up and see that his eyes are glassy and he sways a bit.

He's drunk.

That's the only reason he had to courage to come and talk to me and that's the only reason he's in his feelings.

I feel hot tears spring to my eyes.

I really am an idiot, for thinking it was any more than that.

"You need to drink some water" I mumble pulling him to the sink and washing out my solo cup, and filling it with tap water.

I hand it to him.

He sips it slowly but then snaps out of it and slams the cup down making me jump and he spills water everywhere.

"I- I love you Dana!" He slurs and I turn my face away from him.

"No, you don't, you're drunk" I remind him.

He chuckles gently and holds a hand up, grabbing my face gently.

"Beautiful and smart, huh?" He asks with a giggle.

I pull away.

"You need to go" I tell him and he looks confused.

"B- but I love youu!" He whines and he pouts like a little kid.

He grabs my hand.

"I don't wanna -hic- leave you baby" He says.

I push his chest gently and I catch Ruben's eye as he walks past.

I signal Ruben over and he comes over, taking in his cousin's state.

Leonardo notices him and breaks into a grin.

"Heyy, Ruby! Tell my wife that I love her!" He says, holding Ruben's shoulder.

Ruben wraps his arm around his cousin's waist.

"Come on buddy, let's get you home" he says gently.

"Home! Home sounds nice!" Leo says beaming.

He turns to me.

"Dana! You... should come with me! Just like old times, when we would-" he says, but Ruben picks him off the ground and drags him out of the kitchen, throwing me one last apologetic look, while struggling with a cursing Leonardo.

I wait until they're out of my line of sight, before allowing a tear to slip down my face.

I quickly wipe it away before anyone can see and I grab the closest alcoholic bottle, stumbling out of the kitchen and into a dark corridor.

I stand next to a wall and lean into it, taking a swig if the contents.

More tears escape and I don't even bother hiding it anymore.

I slip down the wall and sit, with my back against it, drinking some more and crying silently.

What a fucking mess.
