Murders in the dark

Chapter Two

Easter Eggs: 3 Topic: Niall Horan Songs

*Lizzy Pov*

Getting ready for my stupid birthday tradition was the least of my worries. My biggest problem is my best friend, talking about things that are never going to happen.

"If I go home with someone tonight, you have to text me telling me when you leave the club when you get home, and who you are taking home."

Mentally laughing I respond, "Jess, I love you so much. But we know that you are not going to take someone home. You say this every year and it is yet to come true."

Turning her uplifted smile into a scowl, she throws a sparkly makeup brush at me, laughing when it gets in my hair. Taking it out I look in the mirror to fix the damage she has done to my black hair.

"You got light blue shit in my hair." I murmur focused on getting it out.

"And I will do worse next time." She responds with a light smile on her face.

The thing with Jess and I is even when we act like we might kill each other, we are

still having fun. Like right now, brushing out the blue in my hair, I still have a smirk

on my face. I could never truly get mad at her, and she could truly never get mad

at me.

"What are you going to wear?" Jess asks me.

I look in my closet debating. After 5 minutes or so of browsing, I pull out a light blue dress that passes just above my knees.

"This is fine. It will match my hair." I lightly chuckle showing her the dress.

"Oh hell no. I am wearing that. It matched my blue makeup." She replies, ripping the dress from my hands.

Rolling my eyes, I go back to the closet and put on my second option, a tight-fitting dark red dress that also stops just above my knees. Walking out of my closet, I see Jess in the stunning dress. Her wavy brown hair cascades down her back and her makeup matches perfectly.

"Penny for your thoughts?" She asks me, pushing my jaw up.

"You look gorgeous. You were right about taking it from me, this is so your dress. You can keep it; it looks so good on you." I tell her practically trying not to drool. And my parents told me I was straight.

Brushing out my black hair for the last time, I check my makeup in the mirror.

Adding red lipstick to my winged liner and false lashes, I turn around to Jess.

Grabbing my hand, we walk to my door. I grab my small traveling purse,

putting only my pack of cigarettes, lighter, and phone in it. I never take my keys

for a night out in case they get stolen. Opening the door, I lock the doorknob and

close it back up, skipping to find a taxi.

Getting out of that blue taxi, I feel absolutely violated.

"You have a good night now ladies, maybe I will see you in there when I am done with my shift." The creepy taxi driver tells us, licking his lips.

"Doubtful." Jess responds, throwing money at him before slamming the door.

Looking at me she rolls her eyes before dragging me up to the bouncer. With one look from the big muscly bouncer, he lets us in. I should have mentioned it before, but we are at the Canyon Moon club, so we don't have to wait in line.

"Next year we are going to Flicker." I shout to her rolling my eyes at the club I already go to 5 days a week.

She responds by dragging me up to the bar, ordering two shots of tequila. Rolling my eyes for the umpteenth time today, I grab the shot off the bar and down it without a second thought.

Looking at the bartender I ask him, "Can we have two This Town drinks please?"

He gives me an annoyed look, knowing that is a hard drink to make I just smile at him. Given he is new so he doesn't know who I am, I take a moment to observe him. He has light brown hair, swept in one direction. Tattoos drift along his arms, and his muscles flex while making our drinks.

"What is your name?" I ask him, curious to know who he is.

"Louis, and you are?" He responds in a bored tone.

"Name is Lizzy. I work here Monday through Friday. It is Saturday though, so I have the day off." His eyes go wide at my reply hurrying on our drinks. I smile thinking he must have done that because I told him I work here.

Handing me my drink and Jess hers, he walks away pulling his phone and out of his pocket before putting it up to his ear. I mess with the little umbrella in my drink, not thinking too much of it. Jess being the pushy person she is, lightly pushes the drink towards my mouth, signaling for me to chug it. Only assuming she wants to dance, I chug my drink and leave the glass at the table.

Dragging me to the middle of the dance floor, she spins me around before starting to dance away. I lightly sway to the music, not feeling the song. Before I could process much, Slow Hands come up from behind me, stopping at my stomach. Freezing up, I slowly pry the hands off my body, turn around, and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

The person holding me was none other than Jackass.

"Need company?" He asks me.

Not replying I nod; one dance won't hurt.
