Dilara

Chapter 18:

'Make sure to leave your location on.' Adriano says as Zoya gets out of the car.

'Yeah yeah sure.' I reply as I wait to get out of the car.

I move to open the door and Adriano puts a hand on my thigh stopping me.

'Dilara I mean it.' He says. I look at him and see the seriousness on his face.

I sigh, opening my phone and turning my location on.

'Happy?' I show him my screen. 'Now goodbye.'

'Wait.' He says. He pulls up his shirt, exposing his toned abs and takes a dagger out of his waistband.

He opens a drawer in the car and takes out a thigh holster. He hands it to me.

'Why would I need this?' I ask.

'You know how to use it.' Adriano replies. 'So use it if you have to.'

'I'm not going to kill anyone.' I reply.

'Put it on.' He says tonelessly. 'Now.'

I pull up my dress a little bit and put the thigh holster on. I slide the black dagger into it, pulling my dress down to cover it.

'Adiós,' I say as I open the door and get out of the car.

'We'll call you if we need anything!' Zoya says as Adriano drives away.

'We're not gonna need anything.' She says turning to us.

'Come on let's go!' Mimi exclaims.

We walk up to Alex's house and knock on the door. He instantly opens it.

'Hey, Mimi.' He slurs. He pulls her in by her waist and kisses her.

'Alex you're drunk.' She laughs. He looks behind her.

'Hey,' he says to the rest of us.

I push past him and Mimi and make my way into the party. Zoya and Alora follow behind me.

'I'll get us some drinks.' Mimi says. She walks off and Zoya, Alora and I start dancing to the music.

Mimi hands me a shot and we all clink our glasses together and drink them.

Mimi pulls me onto the dance floor and spins me around. We start dancing together, and Zoya and Alora join us.

A song that I can move my hips too comes on, and Mimi and I start dropping it low.

'Yes girl!' I exclaim as she starts twerking.

When the song stops, we decide to get some more drinks.

'I bet none of you can chug this whole bottle.' Alex slurs, with his arm around Mimi.

'I can.' Mimi says.

'You're not gonna do it.' I reply.

'You're no fun.' Alex says. I grab the bottle of vodka out of his hand.

Zoya picks up the one in front of us.

'I've done this a couple times.' She smirks.

'There's no way you'll both be able to finish that.' Alex's friend Jacob says.

'Don't doubt us.' I say.

Zoya and I turn to eachother, and clink the bottles together.

I put the bottle to my lips and start chugging it. The vodka stings the back of my throat but I keep on going. I breathe through my nose and continue drinking.

'Come on Dilara you can do it!' Alora cheers.

'Zoya's nearly done!' Mimi exclaims.

I take a deep breath through my nose and continue drinking. Zoya finishes and slams the bottle onto the table.

I tip my head back, finishing the bottle and putting it on the table.

'She told you.' Mimi says.

'Oh, this is definitely gonna bite me in the ass later.' I say laughing.

Alex and Mimi both stand up.

'We'll be back.' Alex says.

'Ok,' Alora replies. I look down and start picking at the chocolate muffin she put in front of me.

Jacob gets up and walks over to a blonde man who ruffles his brown hair.

'I heard you met Vittoria.' Alora says in a hushed tone.

'Yeah, it was earlier today.' I reply. 'She made me fight Adriano to prove myself.' I take a piece of my muffin and eat it.

'I'm happy that your like part of our family now.' Zoya says.

'Thanks,' I reply. 'I hope I don't let you guys down.'

Mimi and Alex come back, and she puts down a glass onto the table.

She sits down and goes to take a drink from it. My head hurts. That vodka is coming back now.

I look at the glass and notice something immediately. The ice isn't floating.

I remember what my mum told me when I was younger.

Dilara, repeat after me; ice sinky, no drinky.

Her drink is spiked.

Before she could drink it, I push it out of her hand and the glass shatters onto the floor.

'Dilara!' She exclaims.

'It was spiked.' I reply.

'Alex made me that himself.' She says.

'You fucking asshole.' I snarl at him.

I get out of my seat. I feel dizzy.

I put my hand on my head and Stable myself by holding onto the table.

'We're leaving.' I slur. I grab Mimi's hand and Alex comes in front of me, trying to stop me.

I raise my hand and slap him.

'Get out of my way.' I say pushing him. Zoya and Alora follow behind us.

Zoya is using Alora to keep herself standing upwards.

'Dilara what's going on?' Mimi asks. I sigh, trying to shake the pain out of my head.

'Alex spiked your drink.' I reply. 'The ice was sinking.'

'You're drunk, we can't walk home like this.' She says.

'Call Adriano.' I slur.

Alora takes out her phone and calls Adriano.

We don't have to wait that long before he pulls up in front of us. He rolls down the window and looks Zoya and I up and down.

'How much did you drink?' He asks.

'Not that much.' Zoya slurs, laughing.

Mimi helps me into the passenger seat and I turn to Adriano.

'You look fuzzy.' I say squinting, putting my face closer to his.

'You're really drunk.' He says.

'I'm moderately functional.' I snap.

'This is going to be a long night.' Adriano says sighing.

He starts the car and drives us home.
