Chapter Nine

- Lola's POV -

I paced around Lilah's room in anger at myself. Lilah sat on her bed watching me.

"At least you didn't fall in front of him, or spill your orange down his shirt, or say something weird, or-"

"YOU'RE MAKING THIS WORSE!" I shouted in her face. She sat back slowly and wiped my spit from her face.

"Sorry.." I whispered while staring down at my shaking hands. Why am I so worked up about this? He doesn't even know me, he doesn't care if I was being weird, right?

"I hate how much this is stressing you out" Lilah sighed. I shrugged and threw myself onto one of the fluffy chairs in her bedroom.

A moment of silent passed, Lilah started to grin and nod. I stared at her like she was crazy.

"What the hell are you thinking about?" I chuckled before she jumped off her bed and grabbed me by the wrists.

"It's only 6pm! Let's go to The Black Swan!!" She shouted with excitement, she really was crazy. Does she want me to go back there and embarrass myself?

"Why would we do that. Are you crazy?!" I screamed before pushing her off me. She shook her head and started to put on her shoes.

"I'm going to redo my make up, go look in my wardrobe for something nice to wear!" Lilah said with a smile on her face.

"What's wrong with what I'm wearing now?" I questioned while crossing my arms.

"It's so.. Dark. You look like you're going to a funeral" She giggled. I felt offended, I wear this type of clothing everyday. Lilah ran into her bathroom to do her makeup, so I opened her wardrobe.

All of her clothes were pink, it disgusted me. Until a saw a really nice blue summer dress hiding at the back, I lifted it out and smiled.

Lilah returned with her face orange as an.. Orange. Her eyes widened at me in her dress.

"Wow Lola, you look better than me when I wear that!" She shouted happily, I smiled back at her.

"Thank you. I'm nervous" I stuttered before turning around to Lilah literally standing naked while getting changed.

"Woaah! You could've told me the full moon was out before I turned around!" I shouted while laughing.

"Oh come on Lo, we are practically sisters. How does this look?" She asked, so I turned around to see her in a cute flowery top and black skinnies.

"Looking fabulous" I said in a posh accent, she rolled her eyes.

"It's only Tuesday and we're going out for the night.." I muttered, I'm going to be shot by my own parents.

"You know what they say.. Y-"

"DO NOT SAY YOLO" I shouted loudly as we walked out of her house. Lilah looked stunning in her huge high heels while I was looking like a 13 year old on their first night out. Fuck my life.

We snook passed my house and headed for the train station, it was still light out so we had enough time to get to the bar before it got crowded.

"Please do not drink a lot, okay?" I said seriously to Lilah as we got off the train and began walking to Baker Street.

The bar that Joseph works in is actually quite popular, especially on the weekends. It began to get dark as we approached the bar, this is when the anxiety kicks in. I grabbed Lilah's arm in fear and she gave me a reassuring smile.

"I don't want to drink much by the way. I want to remember the night you get a hot boyfriend" She said before winking and pulling me into the bar. It was crowded with people around my age, then Joseph caught my eye.

He was surrounded by guys, they were all chatting and having a laugh. Lilah went straight for the bar while I found a seat for us both.

Lilah returned with her drink and a coca cola for me, I felt so embarrassed.

"What if he recognises me?" I whispered across the table.

"That's the point Lo. He will recognise that perfect girl who always comes to his bar" She said with a smirk before taking a sip of her drink, I rolled my eyes.

There were so many people in the bar now and they were all talking to Joseph like he was a celebrity. Is Tuesday an important day or something?

Lilah's favourite song started to play in the speakers and she screamed with excitement which made people stare.

"Lilah no" I said while putting my head in my hands. She began to shout and sing the lyrics, this is her sober by the way.

Suddenly a crowd of badly tanned girls entered the bar, with a blonde Barbie doll leading them. I sighed at the way they were dressed, skirts up their arses and their boobs literally hanging out. Why?

The blonde left her group of friends and approached the bar where Joseph and his friends where. I wasn't even listening to Lilah embarrassing me anymore, I was too focussed on what was going on around him.

But then my heart smashed into a million pieces.

"Hey babe!" The blonde shouted before leaning over the bar and kissing Joseph. Fuck my life.
