"I mean, it's not awful.." I trail off looking around the one roomed hotel room, old brown stained wallpaper hung off the walls, water dripped from the ceiling by the window, mould covered the window sill and the beds were practically on the floor with one drawer to fit clothes in. The toilet looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a few years, I set my bag down scrunching my face in disgust at the sight of the room. Well, I suppose this explains why it was only ten dollars per night.

"Are you joking? I would rather sleep in the alleyway outside than this dump!" Riley gaps bringing her sleeve to her nose from the mould aroma that covered the room like a cloak. I lean against the wall feeling wetness soak into my back, I jump up squealing. Riley and Lily burst out laughing, sending them a glare they cough quickly recovering themselves.

"We can make this work...in a way.." Lily comments peeling some wallpaper back from the wall her eyes widening. "Maybe not.."

"It's not like we're going to be in here forever, we'll be out doing things, exploring, this shouldn't be a downer" I try to put a bright side on the situation setting my suitcase down on my bed unzipping it.

I wanted to have a vacation where I could just forget about everything back home for a while and be myself. I didn't need constant reminders of things that had happened back home.

"We could go and get some dinner somewhere, then we could find a club or something!" Riley claps her hands excitedly unpacking clothes from her fluorescent pink suitcase, I find it cute how she can't even have a suitcase without it being fashionable or interesting. Lily and I nod in agreement searching through our suitcases for something to wear. I pick out my little black dress that hugs my curves, I always liked this dress, it's simple with thin spaghetti straps. I slip on the dress pulling on my black strappy high heels.

I let Riley curl my hair which she insisted on me not being boring and looking "more glamourous" as she puts it. Pulling the last curl around the tong she lets it flop onto my back admiring her work. I smile at her through the mirror touching the curls that cover my head. It makes me feel more beautiful to be dressed up.

"You look gorgeous, Rose, boys will be all over you tonight" Lily smirks finishing her mascara in the mirror leaning over me. I laugh pushing her off me lightly.

"Please don't be embarrassing, nobody is going to want to touch me" I roll my eyes, catching myself in the mirror. I sighed slightly looking at my appearance, there wasn't much to offer. I touched my hair with my finger tips and looked at my make up, the red lipstick and the smokey eye Riley had done for me. I could understand why somebody chose to cheat on me in the end, I was boring looking.

"Rose, you are stunning" Riley said, placing her hands on my shoulders and leaning her chin on one of them catching my eyes in the mirror. "Anyone would be lucky to have you."

I smiled at her slightly at her attempts to make me feel better. It wasn't really working but I appreciated them for it.

"Well, anybody is going to have to wait. Because I seriously have no interest in anyone at this point in time. I don't want any silly relationship and have zero interest in a boy" I laugh turning away from the mirror to face the girls.

"Looking like that, Rose. I think you're going to struggle to keep them away so if the plan is to not get laid, you're not doing a very good job" Lily said popping the lid off of her lipstick and applying it to her lips.
