Denial

ch.5

"So will you come to the party with me?" Zack asks for the millionth time.

"Okay fine! It better be good. I'll leave the second it gets boring" I give in. I shouldn't be going to parties because I'm pretty sure I'm on my moms' last nerve but I'm not here to impress her so who cares.

"Great, pick you up in 20" he says before hanging up. I get up from bed and throw on a black see- through top with a bandeau and some black leather shorts.

"Where exactly do you think your going?" Harry asks while rudely inviting himself in.

" Oh god, not another one of mother" I say In disgust.

"Trust me, I couldn't care less but I get paid to look after your stupid ass and I'm not in the mood to loose my job" he say blankly. I'm taken back by his harsh words but recover and bite back.

"Who the fuck do you think you are? Like you said you just look after me. No questions just follow. From now on, don't talk unless your spoken too" I say just as rude.

"You don't have to be such a bitch, I'm doing my fucking job" he says under his breath but loud enough for me to here. I look at him but decide to let it go and walk past him knocking into his shoulder on my way out. I don't need this right now. I walk out and see Zack pull up.

"Stay and don't follow. Cover for me" I tell Harry. He looks as if he's about to say something but I slam the door and take off.

When we pull up to a mansion with lights going off everywhere I know we're here. I step out of the car and realize it's freezing. Zack comes around the car and walks with me to the door.

You can see people are clearly wasted off their minds with red cups and liquid spilt all over the front lawn. As we walk up the stairs to the front door we come across a very steamy make-out session but just carefully stepping around them.

We make our way inside and I'm stopped when Zack implies, "Okay, so ill be by the bar. You, you uh just do whatever. K?" He says but quickly leaving me standing there dumbfounded.

"No I'm okay, I'll get my own drink thanks for asking" I say rolling my eyes and walking to an empty sofa. I can't believe he invites me to a party and ditches me. What a douche bag. I'm only with him for the sex, he's amazing. We met at a bar while I was super drunk and I guess it elevated from there to being fuck buddies.

I'm snapped out of my thoughts when a guy taps on my shoulder. Thinking he's going to give me the speech of being a princess and being at a party, I snap.

"What?!" "Sorry for bothering, but aren't you and Zack together?" He asks. He's tall, dark hair styled into a quiff, with dark brown eyes and a couple tattoos. He's super hot really.

"Uhh no. Sort of, kind of, wait why?" I ask.

"He's with a blonde, probably hooking up" he points towards the bar with a tall pretty blonde sitting on his lap. I feel, grossed out. Let down. Yeah he's just a fuck for the meantime but I kind of trusted him. Never thought he'd invite me to a party just to fuck someone else while I'm at least 10 feet away.

"Gimme a sec" I tell the guy as I walk to the nearest bathroom. I storm in and tears immediately start spilling. This always happens, I act like I don't give a crap but I'm tumbling inside. I can't take this anymore.

I take out a cigarette from my butt pocket and light it. I immediately feel relaxed. I walk out and pass Zack and the stupid blonde. I'm stopped by his voice. "Scarlett wait I-" he says but I interrupt.

"All good, I'll find my own way home. Don't bother" as I say this I don't look into his eyes. I just walk away and take a taxi back to the palace.

As I pull up to the beautiful place I call home I'm fully aware my make-up is ruined and I look like a mess. But I couldn't care less at this point. I walk in the front doors and surprisingly it's empty and dark. Well considering it's midnight I wouldn't doubt it. I try to make my way to my room as quick as possible only to hear his soothingly slow voice speak.

"Never do that again"
