Secrets

Chapter 11: Getting out

Victoria's POV:

A couple of days had passed. I spent most of the time in bed, scrolling through Madison's instagram but would occasionally get up
to get some food and to go outside and smoke my puff bar. Elle and Julia tried to get me to leave the hotel but I just couldn't. I was scared that if I went out, I would see Madison or Nick. "What the hell is wrong with me?" I said as I was looking at my reflection in a mirror. "Why am I acting this way over a girl that I barley know? I've never done this before."
All of a sudden I heard a knock and my door. I knew it was Elle and Ju so I just yelled "Come in"
I heard the door creak open. I walked out of the bathroom to see Julia and Elle standing in front of door. They were both smiling. "Hey! Look who's out finally out of bed!" Julia said with a smile from ear to ear.
"Yeah" I chuckled. "I was just about to go outside for some air" I grabbed a hoodie that was sitting on the desk chair and started to put it on.
"Vic..." Elle said. She grabbed the hoodie from me. "You aren't going out like that. You are going to get ready and we are all going to go out and have supper."
I groaned. "Like I need to go out in public?"
"Well no shit" Elle joked.
Julia nudged Elle's arm. "Come on Vic. You spent most of the trip in your hotel room. We only have 2 days left before we need to go back to our regular, boring lives. Let's just go out and try to have some fun!" Julia walked over to me and gave me a hug. "I know you don't want to go out but hey, maybe it will take your mind off things!"
I rolled my eyes. "Fine." I said.
Julia and Elle both squealed. "But I am wearing my sweats" I insisted.

I walked back to the bathroom and shut the door. 

"Vic? Is everything alright?" Julia asked. "Why are you going back in the bathroom?"

I opened the bathroom door to show them that I was doing my hair. "I may be in sweats but I should at least make my hair look good." I laughed.

They both smiled. I put the hair straightener down. "Why are you both staring at me?" I asked. I was staring to get a bit creeped out. They were both standing in front of the door with a smile from ear to ear. I walked out of the bathroom and walked over to the desk to grab my purse. I turned around to see them both still staring at me. 

"What are we waiting for?" I smiled. "Let's go!"

We headed out and started surching for a restaurant to go to for lunch. "So what are you guys in the mood for?" Elle asked. She was sitting in the passanger seat and turned to look at me. Julia was driving the car. "I don't really mind what we eat or where we go." Julia and Elle looked at eachother. "Hey Vic..." Julia said. By the tone of her voice I could tell that she was either nervous to tell me something. "What's up?" I asked. "So Elle amd I were talking before we left and we kinda wanted to go to Saddle Ranch again. Apparently there is going to be a big party and a ton of celebs are going to be there." Julia looked back at me. "But only if its okay with you."

I am going to be completley honest. I didn't want to go. I was already hesatant to go out in the first place and now they wanted me to go back there? As much as I knew it was going to hurt me to go to Saddle Ranch, I couldn't say that it would bother me because I knew it would ruin their night. 

"Don't worry about me" I told Julia. "I'm going to be completely fine." I smiled and then looked back down at my phone hoping that they wouldn't notice anything. 

"Good!" Julia said. "Because we are already here!" Elle and Julia were smiling at each other. Julia parked the car and they both hopped out. "Vic are you coming?" Elle asked.

"Yeah, just give me a sec." I responded. I was looking out the window and I noticed that there were a lot of people here. A part of me hoped that Madison wouldn't be there because I knew that she would be with Nick but the other part of my wanted to see her again. I finally got out of the car and crossed the street to meet up with Julia and Elle. 

"Girl what took you so long" Elle laughed.

"Did I take long? I am so sorry to keep you guys waiting." I said. I didn't realize that I took so long to come out of the car. 

"Don't worry Vic, you didn't take long at all. We are just waiting for them to find a table for us." Julia reassured me. 

I smiled. I was looking around at all the people that were sitting at their tables. Honestly, it looked like I was on guard. 

"Vic, is everything alright?" Elle asked. 

"Yeah yeah" I quickly responded still looking around. 

"We finally found a table for you guys!" a random voice said. I looked down and started following the waitress.  As we were walking to out table, I noticed a familiar sweatshirt. At first I thought "Omg! What a cute sweeatshirt! I think I have the same one" but then I realized... 

I quickly looked down at the waitresses shoes and followed where she was going. "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God" I whispered. 

Julia overheard me whispering to myself. "Vic, is everything okay?" 

"Huh?" I said all disoriented.I looked up to see Julia starring at me. She seemed concerned. "Oh yeah, everthing is all good." I said. I quickly looked behind me to see Madison looking directly at me. She was wearing the sweatshirt that I gave her a couple of days ago.
