TW: mentions of underage drinking and drug use
"I thought you were going as a sexy secret agent?" Layla looked at my costume in confusion.
I moved my fake night vision goggles up to my forehead. "I said I was going as a Splinter Cell agent." I put it back down only to turn on the green lights for it before turning it off and pushing it back up. I then threw my duffel bag into the trunk of their car.
I looked at Layla and Elizabeth's costume. Layla was a cat, wearing a black fitted dress with some black booties and cat ears while Elizabeth was Tiffany from Bride of Chucky.
Layla spun me around, looking at my costume. "Well, at least the pants show all the junk in your trunk." She slapped my butt like a drum jokingly, and all I could do was gently slap her hands away.
We all know I don't have an ass. A size 0-1 usually means I have no ass.
All I had to buy for my costume were the video game goggles, a toy gun with a suppressor attached to it, and a black cosplay tactical vest. I just had to dig into my clothes pile to find a pair of old black jeans (that thankfully still fit) with an all black sweatshirt and some black memory foam sneakers. I even found a black face mask that covered my bottom half of my face, but I felt like I went under with my costume since it was mostly DIY.
"Can we go in now?" I rubbed my arm viciously and put my black face mask on.
It was freezing outside. And usually when it hits the 40s in Massachusetts, it's when everyone puts their heaters on full blast because out here, 40 degrees means 5 and it is brutal. It was a good thing that I wore a thermal underneath and put on a leather jacket to not only (sort of) keep me warm, but for style also.
"Yeah. It's freezing out here," Elizabeth said, shivering slightly.
I walked in front of them to the stairway of the house.
"Hey, I just noticed you cut your hair!" Elizabeth commented. "And you got a touch up, nice."
Oh yeah, I forgot that I listened to Sammy's advice and not only cut my hair to past my arm pits, but I also went to Sally's and bought supplies to make myself a redhead again. I haven't done my hair in so long, it felt like a sort of relief to do something and the way my curls went slightly tighter meant that it really needed that cut.
Sammy was right with me doing this, but I just wish it helped with the nightmares. Having little to no sleep in over a week does that to you. Even if I took a nap, it would last no more than 20-30 minutes because of the nightmares.
The thought of my mom in her coffin and me being grabbed at Spooky World has taken too much of a toll on my mental health. That's why I didn't even want to go to this dumb party at first, but the girls begged me, so I caved in to shut them up.
Jannette allowed me a few pre-party Vodka shots before dropping me off but it wasn't enough to get me buzzed. I was even given weed of my own to avoid smoking with someone who could lace it.
We entered the house and I immediately smelled alcohol, sweat and sex lingering in the air.
Get me out of here already.
The girls linked their arms around me when they noticed my sign of hesitation of this party, so now I know I couldn't get out. Jannette did say to call her incase I needed a ride to avoid driving with someone who might be drunk.
"We'll get you a drink." Elizabeth yelled over the loud music before her and Layla walked off to the drinks, leaving me alone in this house filled with everyone wearing sexy versions of literally anything they could think of.
