{-Haleigh's POV.-}
Haleigh! Get your ass down here or we're gonna be late!" My best friend and roommate, Megan, called from the bedroom. We were going to a college party hosted by Josh . Who was my boyfriend. Presenting not to hear her, I ignore her fowl language.
"Who the hell are you trying to impress? You have a boyfriend!" She called . I groaned.
"Uuuugh can't a girl get some privacy? Jesus!" I groaned.
"Not when the party starts in an hour! And I still have to get ready!" By the tone of her voice, it sounded like her voice was getting closer.
"Don't you dare come in here! I'm changing!" I called.
"Yeah. Well we're both girls so it don't matter do it?" Damn, she sounded like a hipster
"Okay fine!! you win, I'll hurry up." I moaned,
Me and Megan have been best friends since the third grade. I don't know how we lasted this long as best friends, but I'm happy we did.
I'm 20 years old, my boyfriend was 21, so a junior in college. I was a sophomore, like Megan, but if I was honest, I just don't feel happy with Josh.
I really want to make it big in the music industry. Josh wants to start a gaming channel where he gets famous off of playing games like Coll Of Duty. He thinks if I go big, he can't go big. So he tries to keep me low key. Even though I want to be out there.
I do have a channel on YouTube that I post covers of popular songs on, I have about 3,000 subscribers and I love each and every one of them. But Josh doesn't know about my channel, and I plan to keep it that way.
I exit the bathroom, and Megan stands there, face of pure annoyance. As I stand two inches from the bathroom door, she scurries up to the door and locks it.
I go into the bedroom of our apartment, look into the mirror, but I don't see myself... I see someone Josh wants me to be. I see the bobby pins in my hair, the fishnet stalkings make my legs itch, and the red gaming hoodie he bought "just for me"
Why am I doing this? I asked myself, then I could feel my phone vibrate in my back pocket. I look and I see a text from the devil himself, Josh.
See ya tonight at the party, my sexy queen.
Uuuugh this man drives me mental.
I decide it's too late for this. I don't respond and I turn off my phone. I put it on silent so that his messages won't bother me.
A few minutes later, I hear Megan open the bathroom door.
"You spent two hours in the bathroom to put on a gamers sweatshirt and worn out sneakers? Need I remind you its ninety degrees outside. You'll boil to death." She said.
"I was told to wear this by Josh." I rolled my eyes.
"Haleigh. If you don't end things with Josh soon, it will be too late. You'll get married to him and you'll never catch your dream of being a famous songwriter." Megan had something wise to say for once in her life.
"Its not like I can make that choice. Technically, he owns this apartment, so if I leave him, he has all the power to get both of us evicted!" I say. I just wish I could find someone who would love me for who I was, yet, could help me when I needed help.
Megan sighed, she knew that Josh was our only hope if we wanted a house. I knew it too. When we finally snapped back to reality, we packed our things up and headed out to the party.
When we got to the party, I saw Josh and his best friend, Mason, talking. I could tell Josh was half drunk, because of the way he was leaning. I don't like Josh when he's drunk, he gets angry.
I try to walk away, but Josh catches his eye on me before I could.
"Hey! Why didn't you respond to my messages?" He scolded.
"Sorry Josh, I just knew I'd see you here." He was more drunk than I thought.
"And what the hell are you wearing?!" He raised his voice.
"Ummm... I'm wearing what you told me to wear. What's the matter with that?" I asked.
"I never told you that you could west jewelry!" He exclaimed! "Someone's gonna see the jewelry and went to take you! Then you'll he famous!" Yup. He was definitely drunk.
"That makes no sense! Why would someone make me famous cause I have jewelry? This is my grandmother's necklace. It means a lot to me." I said.
"Does it look like I care about you're dumb heritage?! Take it off!!" He screamed.
Then I did something I've never done before...
"NO!!!" I shouted. It was the first time I ever set walls in this relationship.
His face fumed red in fury. I took a few steps back.
"Don't you dare say no to me!!!" He shouted, in a fit of rage, he lifted his fist. It went straight for my face, I felt a sudden pain on my cheek, then the world went completely dark.
