Solace (Complete)

3. Party

I parked my car outside Noah's house. He is one of our classmate. He is the one who always throw parties and invite entire college. I went inside to see the house crowded with a lot of guys and girls. I searched for charlie around the crowd but he is no where to be seen. I text him to tell that I am here. When I look up from phone I saw Mia coming towards me with her over excited face.

"Hey cali you came. Now come with me let's enjoy. This party is so fun...." she started rambling and I zoomed her out. She is definitely drunk, I can see from her over excitement. I started looking around, and my gaze fell on three famous bitches of our college. Nichole and her two minions doing what they do the best, bullying a junior. She had been a big bully since high school and she haven't changed a bit. I don't know what she get from all of this. But I smirked at the thought of interfering her. I like messing with her. I made my way towards her with Mia coming behind me.

"Hey barbie, I see you haven't changed a bit. Still bullying kids. I guess old habits die hard" I smirked at her.

"Hi calista. I didn't thought you would be here. Don't you hate parties and it's none of your business" she barked out.

"Well I am in no mood for small talks. Just leave the girl alone and do something better for once." I said nearing towards the girl who was being bullied by her.

"You bitch.." she started at me.

"If I were you I will take those words back" I challenged.

"Whatever" she said I can see fear on her face but she hides it the next moment and stepped away with her two minions trailing behind her. Well that's the power of being a daughter of well known businessman and a well known fashion designer. Her parents will kill her if they know that their daughter is messing with their business partner's daughter and her mother is also regular client of my mom. So that helps.

"And you. What's wrong with you? Why cant you stand up for yourself. Are you a kid ?" I said to the girl.

"I am sorry" she said.

"Why are you saying sorry to me. You should be sorry for yourself. Next time I don't want to see you being bullied. Understood?" I told her. I know I am being harsh but she needs to be strong.

"Okay" she said. And I walked away from her.

"Woah that was good. You go girl" Mia shrieked in my ears.

"Mia" I groaned.

"Come on let's dance cali" she said pulling me towards dancing floor where people were dancing more like grinding.

"No thanks. I am fine here" I told her freeing my hand from her clutches.

"Hey pleaseeeee. You are no fun." she insisted.

"Mia stop it. If I said I don't want to then I don't want to. You can go and dance all you want. Stop forcing me" I scold her. She turned serious and I can see hurt on her face. I want to apologise but I will not. She should know when to stop.

"Okay" she said meekly and went away.

Shit. Now I feel bad. My phone buzzed, I check to see a message from Charlie.

'Meet me at the back of the house'

Finally. I moved towards back door to go to Charlie when someone bumped in to me really hard. I was about to fall backwards when an arm snakes around my waist and saved me from falling.

I looked up to see one and only Mathew Miller a.k.a Matt. The biggest flirt of all time. He change his girlfriends every other week. The only girlfriend that lasted more than a week was Nichole. Yes the bitch Nichole. I hate to admit it but she is hot.

He and me, we never get along. We know each other since our childhood. I practically lived at his house more than I lived at mine. Her mother is best friend of my mother and not to forget they are our neighbours. His older brother and chris are best friends too, they went to New York together.

After graduation chris came back but Ryan didn't. He stayed there to open another branch of his father's company there and in four years it is more successful than his father's. Matt always tease me since our childhood. Our parents wanted us to be best friends too as he is of same age as mine but it never worked for us. I hate him and I think feelings are mutual from his side too.

"Isn't it the beautiful princess gracing us with her presence" he said with his flirty smile.

"Oh shut up" I said and get out of his arms distancing myself from him.

"Don't you have eyes" I said.

"I have but they dont seem to work when they see a beautiful girl" he said.

"What does that even mean. Wait, dont tell me. I don't even want to know" I said to him. He started laughing. I started going towards back door when he stopped me again.

"Mom was asking for you" he said.

"Tell her I will come tomorrow to see her. Bye" I yelled back and went out of the door.

Elizabeth Is a sweet heart and she makes the best food. She is also kind of a best friend slash mother. Whenever I need serious advice I go to her and also the food. She has no daughter only two sons and she always wanted a daughter. So both her and her husband stephen consider me as their own daughter and loves me a lot. May be more than her sons. And I love them too. They are great people. Both me and chris love going to their place. I look around and see Charlie leaning beside a wall at far corner

"Here is your parcel" he gave me a packet.

I took it in my hands.

"That's it?" I asked looking at small package.

"I want more. This is not enough"

"No way I am not giving you anymore than that. You finished the last packet in one week. With this speed you will die and I dont want your blood on my hands" he said.

"Shut up. It shouldn't matter to you how much I take. I will give you double money just give me another packet now" I said annoyed.

"No I will not. Look I am saying this for your better."

"You know what go to hell" I said and took some dollars out of my clutch and threw at his face. Then I shoved the packet in my clutch and went away to my car.

"Jerk" I yelled before leaving.

I dont know when and how I get into weed. And from past few weeks i am taking it a lot. They help me in easing my nerves. They make me happy. I know its wrong, but I can't stop myself now. I am getting dependent on them.

Sane part of me knows that charlie is right but I don't want to admit it out loud. I am destroying my life with my own hands. What could I do, one day I took it just for fun and now I can't stop. I want to, but I can't help myself. I wanted to get help but than everyone would know and I dont want that. Chris, Emma, Elizabeth they all will be hurt if they knew. I dont want to hurt them. I will stop one day maybe.
