chapter three

It's now 7pm and I'm downing my fifth shot of vodka. I feel the burn in the back of my throat and on my tongue. My eyes start wandering around the club. The bright flashing lights are starting to give me a headache mixed with the alcohol in my system. People were dancing and making out everywhere. I turned back to glass that was now refilled. "Would you like company?" I hear a voice appear beside me. I turned in my seat to my left and there it was. He was standing there leaning on the side of the bar facing me. His brown hair was gelled back. I take the shot and The shot glass gets taken from my hand by the bartender. I watch him fill it up again. Then I turn my attention back to reed watching my eyes. "What do you want reed?" I ask receiving my now full shot glass. I take the shot and I feel the sting. I'm so used to my routine the sting of the alcohol doesn't phase me anymore. My eyes shoot up to reeds as I sit the glass down again. "Deal is still in your hands Ms. Kennen." His voice is stern but I'm too stubborn to let him talk to me like I order him as my god or something. "Nice talk big shot. Where'd you learn that?" My voice is full of annoyance. I watch his hands clench underneath the table as I down my 8th shot. I don't know why I've been counting how many shots I'm drinking. It's just a habit now. His eyes watch me with anger covered by dullness. Reed is the person no one would listen to. Definitely people as stubborn as me. The alcohol starts hitting me as my vision becomes foggy. "You know this is my job. To just keep reminding you." He says. I put my chin In my hand on the bar so my attention is full on him. "You have nothing to keep reminding me about. I know what I'm supposed to do. So why don't you go back to Jason and keep kissing his ass. That's the only damn job you're good at." My anger starts building. That is going to come back and get me but I don't care I just need to forget about everything. I took my last shot and paid the bartender. Reed watches my every move. I meet his eyes with mine. My lips form a small smirk and my legs feel weak. The alcohol was definitely hitting me. Once I got some what balanced on my legs I stumbled onto the dance floor. Everyone around was swaying or making out with someone. I follow along as everyone else and move my hips along with the music. The music was blasting. Everything and everyone else just start to look like blurry figures. At this moment I felt like I was the only one in the world. Just me. That feeling alone made me feel better. I feel someone start swaying their waist with mine which pulls me out of my thoughts and when I look up i see a girl with bleach blonde hair. It looked nothing like sky's. Sky's hair is such a pretty dirty blonde. Natural. She is like the definition of natural beauty. I've never seen her in makeup. But the girl in front of me was far from her. My mind was going blank. Everything was foggy. After a while my vision started coming back and I realized the girl who was just in front of me was now kissing me. I didn't know what got me here but something did and I was already blanking out. I needed to go home. I couldn't be here. I couldn't think of anything. I took the girl's hand and I led her upstairs that was lined with LED lights that were flashing. She starts pulling me faster and I follow each of her stumbling steps so my legs don't miss a step. She pulls me into the room and I push her back towards the door. Her back arched off the door as I kissed her neck and collar bones. She let out small moans of pleasure. I hold her waist as I'm kissing her. I lift her shirt and she pulls the rest off of her. I started kissing her breasts but I heard footsteps walking up the steps. They were heavy. I didn't think anything of it so I kept kissing her going back and forth from her breasts to her neck. Then I stumbled us both over to the small couch in the corner and I sat down. She straddles my lap and tries to kiss me but I turn down to her neck and when I pull back after a couple seconds I left a small mark. Pounding fists start hitting the door. I jump slightly at the sound. The girl now on her feet looked at me worried. I go to the door and open it to see a man with angry eyes staring down at me. I hate that he made me feel small next to his big figure. He pushes me out of the way and starts yelling at the girl for cheating on him. My legs stumble out of the doorway back into the main hall  I was starting to sober up so I made my way to my car. I make it outside to look for my car. I didn't want to drive while under the influence so I was planning on sleeping in my car. When I got to the drivers side I thought I was sober enough to park it in the back so that's what I'm gonna do. I put the keys in the ignition and the engine starts. I pull back and drive around the corner and park the shadows behind the building. My black car could camouflage well in the dark. I pull my jacket from the back seat and put it on. After a while laying back In my seat my eyes started to feel heavy and they start to close and my whole body relaxes as I slowly fall asleep in the parking lot of a bar.
