Lost It All

The Next Step

Alora's P.O.V.

When I walked out of the bathroom I could hear Chrissy and Ashley talking, she was for sure grilling him for details about what happened between us. What I heard next nearly broke my heart. I took a step back into the bathroom and leaned against the wall; listening closely. "We kissed, but she dosn't remember. I should have thought about that more, especially since she got really drunk." Ashley said with a solemn tone to his voice. I bit my lip and looked at myself in the mirror and touched my lips. That explained the hurt look on his face, now I felt horrible. "You know it's not like she's going to object to you kissing her again Ashley. Think about it." Chrissy pointed out. That's when I came out from the bathroom for real. "Alright, let's go guys." I said as I ran my hand through my hair and forced a smile before I grabbed my BVB rosary out of a box and put it around my neck and put it into my shirt. Together the three of us left the apartment, I put some food in Reggie's food bowl before walking out the door. Ashley's car was in the parking lot, Jake or CC must have dropped it off early this morning. I kept biting and touching my lips, sneaking glances at Ashley as we walked, Chrissy elbowed me in the ribs. "OW! Bitch!" I said with a laugh, she then smiled. "Oh thank you for noticing." She laughed. I smiled and sighed and we all crammed into Ashley's car. Chatting the whole ride, thank God it wasn't awkward, unless I was the one making it awkward, which I could do that pretty easily. I wanted to apologize for not remembering but then he would know that I was eavesdropping. That wouldn't be good. The car ride went by fast and before I knew it I was talking with the lead effects artist. I showed him my portfolio and we talked while Chrissy was with the lead wardrobe stylist. The more he and I talked the more and more I knew I wanted this job. This really was my dream and it was right at my fingertips, if it got away from me I feel like I might spiral into the black abyss in the darkest depths of the ocean and just never come back up for air, what else would I have to live for after that? Literally nothing. I had to snap myself out of my depressing inner monologue, I did just in time to hear the guy say that I started tonight, the band was going to be playing at the House Of Blues and I was going to run the makeup since I did the hair last night, that was when Andy came in and he glared at me. I rolled my eyes and stood up shaking the guy's hand, his name is Lyiam. "I'll see you tonight." He said as he walked away. "Alright, later." I said as I gathered up my things and walked passed Andy without a second glance. I never really thought him to be an asshole, but now I know he was. But whatever. I was humming to myself when I walked around the corner and saw CC standing by a table getting something to drink. I grinned and walked over to him and put my arm over his shoulders. "Hey there buddy." I said with a rather large grin. CC looked over at me and laughed. "Hey there super star, you killed last night. You made it home alright?" He asked as he grabbed the red solo cup that he had finished filling up and tossed the empty Segram's 7 bottle into a trash can. "Yeah, Ashley stayed with me so I wouldn't drown in my own vomit." I laughed a little and pushed my hair back from my eyes. CC laughed and took a sip from his cup then he looked at my outfit. "You look do corprate, what's with the get-up?" He asked with an arched eyebrow. "I interviewed with Lyiam, I'm your newest hair and makeup artist." I said with a grin  and a slight bow. "HA! Great! This is awesome, now I can have a permanent karaoke buddy!" We both laugh together then I see Chrissy walking out with a big grin on her face, she turns and starts walking over to me, wave and smirk a bit when she realizes who I'm talking to. "CC, I'd like you to officially meet my friend Chrissy. Chrissy, CC." CC arches an eyebrow at me then turns around and see's Chrissy and he grins and goes over to hug her.  I smile and clap my hands a bit, Chrissy was still in a state a shock,but that would soon be over. I turned around and started to walk when I bumped into someones chest, I look up and see Andy, "Aw, shit." I mutter.
