As the night slowly approaches I just got back home from a night running errands I decided to go to the party the heart box is having so I put on a dress and shoes and calling Ivan to come pick me up from the apartment but no answer. I sighed and looked at myself in the mirror seeing me soaked in blue paint during the dance back in high school I can still hear people laughing at me I pushed that memory at the back of my head and packing my phone, wallet, house keys, and taser in my purse I took a deep breath and and walked out of the door. I was wearing a black dress with rainbow stripes on the bottom and a matching strap

On my way to the heart box I bumped into Devon and the SCR group I waved at them and they were happy to see me
"I thought you wasn't coming what changed your mind?" Devon asked
"Well I was thinking since it's a Friday night I decided to stop by and I didn't want to be home alone" I said
"That's fine we're heading to the heart box anyway" Eric said holding out his hand for me too hold
"I'm not five Eric" I said
"I'm just joking learn how to take a joke every once and a while" Eric said petting my head
"Let's cross the street to the heart box before it gets crowded" I said walking into the club
"Definitely hope that I don't see Mark and his friends here again" I said walking to the bar where Ivan was working
"Hey sis you made it" Ivan said pouring me a glass of soda with ice
"Yep I tried calling you but you didn't pick up your damn phone" I said taking a drink of my soda
"Yeah I'm sorry my phone was in the break room" Ivan said
"Hey Ivan can I get the usual please?" Devon said
"Coming right up" Ivan said making Devon his drink
"Hey Tanae if you don't mind me asking but how come you don't drink alcohol?" Devon asked
"I just don't also due to my short size people would think I'm underage and drinks also it's bad for your health" I said drinking my soda
"Avalee should be here soon" Devon said
"She's coming too? that's great" I said happily
"Devon over here has a crush on her" Ivan said pouring me another glass of coke soda
"Thanks" I said
"OMG is Avalee I gotta get a picture" One girl screamed
"I don't have a crush on her" Devon said blushing
"Sure you don't" Ivan said
Later on through the night just before I could leave a random drunk person came up to me and sit next to me I can tell he was drinking and smoking and tried to start a conversation with me. I was feeling very uncomfortable around him
"What a pretty lady like you doing here at this hour?" The drunken guy said moving his hand down my back to my buttocks "Oh I'm just about to head home anyway" I said feeling nervous "How about we can continue this conversation at my house?" The drunken guy said moving closer "Sir can you refrain yourself from touching my customers please leave now or I will call the security to extort you out" Ivan said mouthing go home "Like I care" as the drunken guy slipped his hand underneath my dress
"I really must go" I said slapping him across the face and holding back tears
"Hey isn't that Tanae?" Marne said seeing me exit out of the back door of the bar
"Yeah she looked upset" Avalee said sadly
"Hope she's ok" Marne said
A few minutes later at home I ran to my room and locked myself in the room and started crying my mascara was staining my cheeks and looking myself in the mirror seeing me drenched in blue pain back in high school
Flashback "Hey Tanae do you have a date for the school dance tonight?" Brandon asked "No I don't I wasn't planning on going anyway" I said closing my locker "It will be fun you really don't need a date to come" Brandon said "Sure I guess I can go" I said walking out of the school "Sophie and Sophia come here real quick" Emily said listing on the conversation "What is it your going to make me late for my pedicure" Sophie said "I heard the loser will be going to the dance it will be fun if we threw a prank on her" Emily said "That would be fun what do you have in mind?" Sophia asked "Just get a bucket of blue paint and meet me at the school before the dance" Emily said "Got it" Sophie said "That loser won't know what's coming" Sophia said
Before the dance starts Emily,Sophie and Sophia was above stage where the lights hanged placed the bucket of blue paint connected to a rope. As the dance hall was packed with people I was just sitting by myself and just watching people dancing and talking until the principal showed up and announced the winner for the dance I was nominated for best dancer but as before I went on stage to go speak I pulled on a rope and the bucket of blue paint spilled on my dress and head leaving me drenched in paint I was embarrassed and started crying while everyone was laughing and taking pictures Emily,Sophie and Sophia was laughing I quickly ran off the stage and ran home not wanting to show up at school again
End of flashback
I started to cry I gently crouch down against the wall with my knees pulled up to my chest and slowly started rocking back and forth having a anxiety attack and still crying I continue to cry when Ivan came in and sat next to me wrapping his arms around me and rubbing my back comfortably and shushing me
"It's ok I'm here now you're safe" Ivan said
"I'm sorry" I said crying
"It's ok I forgive you just don't beat yourself up about the past" Ivan said staying with me until I calmed down and falls asleep shortly after when I'm finally asleep Ivan put me into bed and walked out feeling angry about what happened he decided to go on his laptop and found the video and send it to Emily,Sophie and Sophia. Ivan was pissed he texted the three girls and told him to meet him at big star entertainment tomorrow morning when dropping me off to work. Emily and the others agreed to meeting up with Ivan feeling satisfied with his actions he walked to the kitchen and started preparing dinner when he was done he woke me up and told me to wash up. A few minutes later when I came out I sat at the table and and ate in silence
"So how did you sleep?" Ivan asked eating his dinner
"My sleep was going fine but that stupid dream woke me up" I said eating my food
"I asked my boss if I can take a few days off from work and she said yes so I'll be coming with you to work tomorrow and have a talk with Emily and her friends" Ivan said
" don't do anything drastic" I said
"I won't" Ivan said taking away my plate and hands me a glass of water
"If you want we can book an appointment with a therapist for your issue" Ivan suggested
"Yeah that would be great thanks" I said placing the cup in the sink and walks back to my room
