Hummingbird Heartbeat
Chapter 5
Sarah and I hopped off the bus and ran up to my room. We called Emma, Jenna, Kate, and Alyssa to come over so we could call everyone to this party. When they arrived we started calling everyone we knew, but we made sure to not invite Brianna. Everyone said they would be there, including Steven! We were all so excited! The girls knew how important this night was for me. It was my chance to show Steven I'm the better choice. My friends took it upon themselves to do my make-up and hair and pick out my outfit. When they were done my face looked flawless and my eye make-up was perfect. My hair was done in loose curls and my outfit was a mini skirt and a floral top and big earrings. When we were all done getting ready I heard the cars pulling up. Then the door bell rang and the girls flew down stairs to get the door. But I stayed behind. I was so nervous. I thought to myself, what am I doing? There is no hope for Steven and I. My mind was saying give up give up! Then my heart would whisper just try one more time. So I pulled myself together and walked down stairs. I gripped the railing and there he was looking at me. Time seemed to slow down I walked down the stairs being careful of my every step. He walked towards me and hugged me.
"I've missed you Em. We haven't really hung out a lot lately." he whispered in my ear"
"Well you have been busy with Brianna." I said back, and gave him a half smile I regretted that. But to my surprise he just hugged me again.
"I know sorry I just miss you." he said
I couldn't stop smiling. Finally everyone arrived at the party and my house was so crowded it was hard to move. But everything was going great! I was with Steven most of the time and my friends all found guys to hang with. I was making him laugh and he was starring at me like nothing else mattered. It felt like we were all alone and happy. But just when I thought everything would work out, the door bell rang.
Steven's P.O.V:
Ring ring ring! I picked up my phone.
"Hello." I said
"Hey it's Sarah me and Emily are throwing a party you should come!" She asked
"Sure I'll be there!" I said, I quickly got ready and jumped in my car and I was so excited to see Em. I hoped she felt the same. I pulled in her driveway and walked up to her house. My hands were shaking as I rang the door bell. Emma, Jenna, Kate, Sarah, and Alyssa answered the door.
"Hey guys were's Emily?" I asked
"Hello to you to." Jenna said with an attitude, "She's upstairs she will be down soon."
I smiled nervously. I don't know why I was so nervous but something about tonight felt different. I was also worried about Brianna finding out about the party. But Emily was worth it. Then I saw her. She looked beautiful! I couldn't stop looking at her. I gave her the biggest hug. We laughed all night and it felt like we were the only two people at the party. Everything was going great until the door bell rang.
