Chapter 7

"Fuck," I cursed as the curling iron burnt my hand for the 5th time trying to curl Lilacia's hair.

"You okay there girl?" She asked.

"Yeahh I'm almost done with your hair thank god," I laughed.

Rosanna and Alaska were getting their own hair done while I helped Lilac. I had already done my hair which had small curls at the bottom of my hair and since it was shoulder length, it gave a nice wave like look to my hair.

"DONE!" I sighed with relief.

Now I had to help all of them with makeup except Lilac because she knew how to do her own face.

"Thanks!" She stared at the mirror admiring her hair.

"I think we should get in our dresses before we put on our makeup in case we smudge it while trying to put on our dresses," Alaska said.

And so we did. We got into our dresses and I stared at myself. Did I really need makeup? The answer? Yes. Of course I did. But I helped the rest first.

For Alaska I did a dark red smoky eye which sort of matched her black silvery dress. I went through the usual steps like priming the face, then foundation, powder, eye makeup, eyeliner, mascara, blush and finally lipstick.

For Ro I used yellow and shimmer to do her eyes and gave her a cat eye to finish her look.

Lilac gave herself a pastel blue eye shadow base with a little bit of sparkles.

And for myself I did simple makeup with a regular smoky eye.

"Gosh we all look sexy as fuck," Ro sighed.

"PICTURE!" my mum shouted before we could leave the house.

After she snapped a picture, our dates arrived. Max, Sean, Eunjik and Adillion stepped in and we took another picture.

Apparently, Eunjik being the rich guy, rented a limo and so we had fun just having out own little pre-party before the actual one.

There was beer and alcoholic drinks which was so delicious if I might add. When I stepped out of the high class car, I felt a bit dizzy and I couldn't walk straight. It was only 10 pm and I was already drunk dammit.

"Heather you okay?" Max asked me as he steadied me.

"Yeaaaaaaaaah! Let's paaaartyyyy," I shot my fist into the air then almost fell until Max caught me.

"You're drunk," he said.

"Noooooo I'm not!"

"Yes you are," Alaska laughed and laughed and laughed.

I frowned. I wasn't drunk. I was just pumped for the dance. My heart pounded excitedly as we entered the hall. It was beautiful and the lights were just shooting out like laser beams.

If I was drunk, then I like it. It felt freeing to be away from all my sadness and tears. I clung onto Max since I couldn't stand but I felt completely fine.

After dancing crazily for a while I was starting to get a headache. It was as if someone put something in my fruit punch to drug me or something.

Max was by my side the whole time, I'm guessing because I was drunk and he didn't want me to do anything wrong.

"Max help me..." I felt like I was fainting.

"What? Hey heather, stay with me come on," he shook my shoulders lightly but it just made the headache worse.

"Kiss me," I whispered as I shut my eyes.

The last words I heard was, "I can't."

~~~~~

My eyes jolted open. I was so confused. I sat up and quickly stood up but this pain in my forehead pierced my brain. My hand shot up to my head and the other hand holding me up against the wall.

I glanced around wildly. Where am I? This wasn't my room. This was...

"Glad to see you're awake," Max opened the door and came in with a glass of water.

"What.. Why am I here."

"You fainted and I couldn't get you awake. Your mum would be mad if I brought you home and told her you were drunk," he stated.

"Mmmm," I groaned and lay back down on the bed.

"Hey get up, you need to drink water. But drink it slowly," he helped me sit up and passed me the glass of water.

I drank it. I didn't realize how thirsty I was until my lips touched the water. I felt better after drinking the water.

"Where are your parents?" I asked.

"They're on vacation for the week so they're coming back around next Thursday. Oh and Alaska told your mum that you are having a sleepover with her to cover your 'tracks'," he said.

"Sorry I ruined valentines day," I apologized.

"Nah you didn't ruin anything," he smiled.

"I wanna sleep..."

"Go ahead. I'll take the floor," he offered.

"Nooo.... Cuddle with me," I said sleepily.

"Are you su-"

"Cuddle....... "

"Alright then," he sighed and lay down beside me.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and I fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up in the morning to find myself facing Max. His face was so close to mine I could feel air coming out of his nose as he breathed.

He looked so adorable, so peaceful and innocent as he slept.

I wanted to kiss him right there. But then.. A memory came back. It hurt my heart like someone shot me internally.

Adam and I laid on my bed just staring at the ceiling and enjoying each others presence. It was so nice. Then I turned to Adam and asked if we were ever going to break up.

He said, "never. Never in the world would I say those 2 words. I love you babe."

I smiled, "I love you too."

Max woke up.

"Hey Heather," he smiled at me.

"Morning."

"Want waffles?"

"Who wouldn't want waffles?" I grinned.
