chapter 3

Alex's pov:

I woke up, extremely confused at where I was- on a couch. The only things different were that this time the lights were on brighter, and no one was to be seen. No Victoria, Jack, Mikey, Conor, not even Anth. Another thing was that it was dead silent- besides the sound of a small dog barking down the neighborhood and a few cars driving in the distance. I scratched the back of my neck and sat up to look out the window behind me; it was still extremely dark out. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion, I couldn't even find my bag- which had my phone in it. I neatly folded the blanket that was put on me previously by an unknown person and put it on the side of the couch. The house was trashed- red solo cups were just about everywhere. The poor person who had to clean this all up alone. I thought I was really alone until I heard voices traveling through the house.

"I would hate to be all noisy and wake up Alex if we were to clean up in there." I heard a males voice, a few others made a few inaudible noises in return.

"It's fine guys- ill clean it up no problem in the morning." I heard an unfamiliar voice now- and a few more quieter voices.

"I better go check on her." I hear Victoria's voice- it traveled and got louder as she spoke, just a little bit later she walked in and grinned.

"Morning sleepy head!" She said loudly; I just stared and strained my eyes tiredly.

"What time is it?" I asked standing up now- soon Anth, Jack, Conor, Mikey, and im guessing Josh walked in behind her.

"It's only about two. We've been helping Alex clean up a bit, and waiting for you the wake up- See I told you guys she would get up around this time; she always does, to get her routinely snack." Victoria turned and laughed.

"Shes not wrong. Who's Alex?" I was really confused, laughing softly and shaking my head.

"He threw the party, he said he would be in in a moment. But anyway- You haven't met josh! We had a really fun time dancing." My best friend grinned. Josh shyly smiled behind her. Mikey was being extremely quite surprisingly but I didn't say anything hoping not to get him started again.

"Nice to meet you Josh, I hope you know that you aren't getting the pie." I snorted- Victoria stared at me perplexed for a moment.

"You aren't either Conor." Jack added in after me.

"What..." Josh looked down sadly.

"What?!" Conor almost screamed.

"Who is getting the pie?!" Both the boys went at once.

"Me!" I said out of no where, surprising even myself along with everyone in the room.

"You heard her," Jack nodded in my direction. Conor slowly walked over until he got really close- enough to whisper in my ear.

"Ill pay you 20 pounds if you let me have it." He said for only me to hear.

"Honey- you could buy yourself multiple pies if you kept the money, but ill see what I can do to put in a word with the big man." I laughed softly, winking, and whispered. He backed away and stared at me.

"You right." He narrowed his eyes and gave a goofy smile.

"Okay, Im lost." Victoria crossed her arms and huffed. Josh explained right away. Anth, Conor, and Mikey went in the kitchen and started making food with Alec  and I made my way to Jack- who just stood staring at me with narrowed his eyes just like his brother.

"What did you tell conor?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Oh- only that I'd put in a good word with the big man." I poked his stomach playfully getting a cute giggle from him.
