Battles In Life

"you need to get out dana" "no I am fine here" "dana I will not take no for an answer you keep yourself couped up in your home, how will you ever meet the man of your dreams if you stay here all the time" "callie no, just leave me be" "that will not be happening. you can not waste your life, all you do is work and that's also from home, you are coming out tonight". I knew I wasn't getting out if this. Callie is a good friend, she just doesnt understand what I go through every day. She just thinks I keep myself couped up she doesnt see past my outer body. Callie is the total opposite of me, I like to keep to myself. I spend most of my time reading, working, listening to music or sleeping. Callie she is outspoken, loves going out and having heaps of friends. I don't want that, I just want to curl up in a ball and hide. I'm not one for meeting people, I don't know how to socialize with anyone.
"Come on let's get you out of here" "can't you just go home and go out with all of your friends?" "No I told you, you need to get out and you are coming" "argh I don't want this callie" she just shook her head at me then grabbed my arm. "Callie" "dana come on, I want you to come out" "why?" "You deserve a little fun" "I was having fun" "reading a book is not fun" "fine whatever".
I did not want to do this, I am so out of my comfort zone at just her mentioning going out.

"This dress will look great on you, I know the figure you hide under that baggy jumper" callie held up a black mini dress with one strap "I am not wearing that" "and why not?" "I will look like a sl*t I don't want people thinking I am approachable" "you are approachable" "no that is definitely not me and who do I speak to?" "Exactly that's why you need to get out, you'll see there's more to life then books and music" I just shook my head. She just doesnt understand me at all or she is just ignoring it.
"Here go put this on then I am doing your hair and your makeup" grabbing the dress from callie I just shook my head in annoyance as I walked into the bathroom.

"This is not okay" the black dress sat not far under my bottom, I'm sure if I bent over it would give everyone a view "give me a look" I rolled my eyes and opened the door.
"What's wrong with it?" "What's right with it?" "You look hot as" "I look like a.." "you do not, it's the perfect dress to go to a club in" "a club?, Callie I am not going to a club" "we are, now sit so I can do your hair and make up".
I am not comfortable with this at all.
Callie lightly curled my hair keeping it don so it sat down my back with a light curl at the front and put some of her make up on me. I don't own any of this stuff I personally think it's ridiculous.
"You look.." "ridiculous" "f*cking hot" "do you really need to speak that way?" "What?, Its normal" I just rolled my eyes.
"Here these are for you" callie held up a pair of black heels "don't even think about saying no, they go with that dress" I was feeling very exasperated "fine".

"Are you ready to go?" "No" "well we are going anyway" "well why ask?" "I wanted to make sure you had everything" "my house key, ID and money not that I will need money or my ID" "you won't need that house key if you find a man" "that will not be happening".
Callie just doesn't understand, I don't want to meet anyone, I can't even talk to people it's my anxiety. Yes I speak to callie but I have known her for years, I could hardly speak to her at the start to but she just kept pestering me. I don't even know why she is friends with me.

"Welcome to temptation ladies enjoy your night" callie grabbed my hand dragging me inside. A high end club full of men and women drinking and dancing.
"Dana relax" "yeah" I was anxious before walking in and now I am in here my anxiety has peaked. I just want to go home.
"Ebony, louisa good to see you this is my friend dana" "you look hot girl nice to meet you" ebony was tall and skinny with long blonde hair and a ton of makeup on her face which I am sure she didn't need. Louisa was just as tall and skinny but had light brown hair and from what I could see minimal makeup. "Hi" "dana here didn't want to come out" "girl you will soon have a great night and forget about going home. There are so many delicious men in this place" I nodded.
"Any booths available?" "Yeah we have already got one" "let's go".
The girls all had drinks and we're chatting away while I just sat in the booth with a coke I am not one to drink.
"You don't talk much" I looked at louisa "ahh nah" "well I will probably talk your ear off, I can't help but talk to people, I am a real chatterbox" wow okay so she is just way too talkative I didn't even know what to say. "Mmm check out the eye candy from across the club" "ebony go see if he wants you" "oh you know I will but first I need some more drinks and to hit the floor. Dana would you like a drink" "ahh no I'm good thanks" ebony nodded leaving the booth.
"Dana liven up" "I'm fine callie I'm going to find the rest room". "The other side of the bar" "what?" "That's where the female rest room is" I nodded. Leaving the booth I walked past the bar to the rest room. The line to the toilets was long so I just kept myself against the wall moving every time another female entered.
"Well you look like you are up for a good time" a guy stood near me but I didn't think he was talking to me so I kept my attention on the door of the toilets. "I was talking to you" feeling some one grabbed my arm I freaked "let.. let me go" he gave me an awful feeling I didn't want any one touching me. He had long blonde hair which looked to be dyed that was up in a bun and dark eyes. "You look like you are up for a good time. No ring on your finger either hmm perfect" "n...no just let me go" "I believe she said let go" I didn't know the female who spoke and I didn't dare take my eyes off the stranger that held me. "Who are you her friend?. You want a good time too is that it" "she said let go, she is obviously not interested" "I will have both of you, I don't mind sweetheart" "just.. just let me go" slamming me against the wall his mouth went straight to my neck. Trying to push him off of me was impossible. Tears pooled my eyes as his hands wandered over my body. "Get off of her you pig" I didn't know what to do his weight against me had me trapped against the wall. Feeling his hands remove from my body, I dropped to the ground, sitting on my bottom with my knees to my chest. Hearing a slap, i looked up to see he had slapped a female beside me "you have just made a big mistake" "no I know men like you and I am not afraid of you either" just watching what was unfolding, I pushed myself against the wall even harder. She lifted her body kicking him in the head then punched him in the nose "you bitch" "natalie what is going on?" "I have it handled Lochie". I couldn't watch this any more and put my head against my thighs wrapping my arms around my legs trying to block everything out.
"Are you okay?" It wasn't the females voice but it wasn't the males voice either. "no I want to go home" I looked up seeing guy had bent down in front of me. Dark brown eyes and short messy brown hair. "Please.. don't" "I just want to make sure you are okay" I nodded "I'm.. I'm gonna go" "I can take you" "no.. no I will be fine" "I insist, you can't go on your own" I just shook my head "no thanks" "let me help you up".
"Dana what are you doing? Why are you sitting on the ground come back and join us, This is not the way you can get a man, the reason I brought you out" I shook my head "I didnt want to come I told you that" "you need to get out of that house and have fun" "no I don't".
"No offense but it seems you do not care about your friend she was just harassed by a male in this club and all you want her to do is find a male" "come on dana let's go back and drink" I shook my head "no I am going home, I don't like this place" "dana". "Dana is it?" I nodded "dana would you feel okay if my sister took you home?" "No.. no I.." "dana it's okay" hearing that females voice again I looked at her "you.. you were the one that got that man off of me?" "Yes my name is Natalie I am lochies sister" "I'm.. I'm sorry" "don't be. some men can be pigs". Lifting myself off ground, I fixed my dress "come on dana" "no I am going home. This is not me".
"Thank you.. for ahh for what you did for me natalie" "it's okay" I nodded then walked away from all of them. I needed to get home, to listen to some music or read a book.
