But I'm a cheerleader

Chapter 18

Megan's pov

    It was almost "lights out" and Bryce still hadn't came back. After our little incident earlier I couldn't get the image of her chain, dangling in front of me, from my mind. Part of me was still fighting but the other part just wanted her lips crushing into mine.

    I walked to the bathroom to finish getting ready for the night. I was always the last to use it since I wanted to take my time. When I opened the door I saw Bryce, Kacie and Ari, all huddled around the mirror with regular cloths. I had to actually stop myself from drooling at how good Bryce looked in her all black outfit. Her short hair was combed back which only showed off her jawline even more. Her sharp jawline. I could just picture myself kissing it from top to bottom and just-

   "Shut the door, You're gonna make it obvious!" Kacie whisper yelled, breaking me out of my day dream

  "Oh, sorry I didn't realize. Wha- Where are you guys going?" I asked as I shut the door.

"Out. Get dressed." Bryce smirked at me.

"Out? Out where? It's past curfew you- WE should all be in bed."

"Come onnn let's have a little fun. She'll be asleep and we'll be back before she even notices" Bryce walked towards me and held my hands while giving me that adorable puppy dog face that made my heart melt.

Part of me wants to go but I can't afford to get kicked out if we get caught. As I melted into her eyes I fought myself for the right answers. "No. We need to follow the rules"

   "Fine, but don't be snitch" Bryce rolled her eyes as she walked past me.

Ariana gave me a small smile as she followed behind Bryce and Kacie put her hand on my shoulder and said "You should come, you're already here, what more could they do to you? Don't you think you deserve to unapologetically be yourself, at least for one night?"

   With that, Kacie walked out of the bathroom, leaving me stuck in my head. She was right. All my life I was walking on eggshells and tonight I could go out and just be with Bryce all night long. But on the other hand what if we don't come back in time and we get caught? I can't imagine what my parents would do if I got sent home early because I got kicked out.

   The anxiety was eating me alive and I didn't know what to do next. As I stood in the door frame, heart pounding out of my chest, I weighed the pros and the cons. Ultimately, I just wanted to be around Bryce again and if we get caught do whatever it's, it would've been worth it. Just one night to go out and be free as myself and not pretending.

   I speed walked all the back to my room, so I wouldn't cause any noise, and rummaged for clothes. I mentally prayed that they hadn't left yet and I could still catch up. If there was a gold medal on getting dressed in under ten seconds, I would have been the CHAMP. Thank God I already had my everyday makeup on. I practically bolted, as quietly as one can run, outside where I saw a huge black van. It's so dark outside you could barely see it. Honestly it looked like one of those predator vans and if I hadn't seen Kacie closing the door I would've turned my happy ass right around.

  "Wait!" I called out.

I could Bryce's huge smile when Kacie opened the door and my heart fluttered. She was happy I came.

   I jumped into the van and immediately sat next to Bryce. She put her arm around me and smiled "It's about fucking time"

"I can't believe I'm doing this" I laughed out.

   "Sup guys, I'm Megan and this is my wife Graham."  I woman with long ginger hair turned around in the passenger seat and smiled at us.

"First sneak out?" Graham, the pale dark haired driver, asked.

"Now these two are the O.G.'s the original ex gay's" Bryce laughed

  "We've been trying to shut that place down for years now." Graham glanced back at us and I noticed her nodding her head towards Ari and Ari doing the same. I wonder what that was about.

  "Some really nice guys did this for us when we were in there and it's really all about showing you a different perspective, it's okay to love who you wanna love." Megan said as she put a kind hand on her wife's.

  Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Bryce stare at the gesture then glance at me. I turned my head to look at her and was tapped on the shoulder by Gio who was already rolling his eyes.

"Yea Megan listen to the SUPERIOR Megan." Gio's tone was laced with sass while everyone laughed along.

  I felt myself get small, that one comment made me feel like I didn't belong here and I just wish I could be back home wrapped in my sheets.

After about 5 more minutes we pulled up to this club that had a rainbow rooster on the front. The club was called COCKSUCKER, how clever. Megan and Graham had owner rights so they didn't need to ID us, we just couldn't drink.

I saw Gio's face light up as he entered the club. He shook the purple boa he had around his neck and pushed his chest out while he ran inside, as if you couldn't see it enough through his see through shirt.

The more I walked inside the more I noticed. The music was super loud and all I saw was GAY. There were two masculine women making out in a corner, guys were grinding against eachother, girls flirting with one another. This was a Gay Club.

I grabbed Bryce by the arm and yelled in her ear "You didn't tell me we were going to a gay bar"

Shaking my hand if she turned to fully face me and I was instantly mesmerized by how soft her face looked under the color changing strobe lights. "Where else would we go? I'm gonna get you a drink"

"We're not supposed to drink!" I yelled out while she walked away.

I started to find a place to sit and every where I looked there were guys kissing other dudes, and women feeling up other women. The truth is I wished that was me but I could still hear my Dads voice in the back of my head. I started second guessing my choice in coming here as the anxiety started to build.

"Woah, hey, calm down. Stop thinking so much and just be yourself." Bryce said, handing me a can of hard cider. Was it that obvious that I was freaking out internally?

I looked up and saw Gio and Ari dancing together, having the time of their lives. Meanwhile Kacie was laughing at something some short haired girl had said. They all looked so free. Maybe Bryce was right, I should let loose a little.

I felt someone blow smoke in my face and immediately knew it was Bryce who was still holding my can. I rolled my eyes and grabbed my can, taking a big gulp of it. Liquid courage am I right?
