Five Fays Before: Chapter Four

I'm stood in front of my mirror, wearing a black doll dress, strapless. It has a heart shaped cutout back, and a massive black bow, also at the back. I'm wearing my usual makeup. I've decided to curl my hair. I leave the house.

I turn up outside Jamie-Leigh's door, wrapped up in Chris's arms. "Hey, girl!" She exclaims as I walk in. "Hey, girl!" I respond. I walk in and sit down beside Chris on a single armchair. "Nina, I really like you," Chris says
"And the good in that remark?" I ask, maybe a bit too harsh.
"Well, I really want to tell you that... that... I wanted to know what you would say if I- " Chris is interrupted.
"Nina," a voice calls out me. I whip my head around to see who it is. Daniel. "Oh, hey," I say, "Where's Shantelle?" "Oh, yeah, she's over there, getting drinks." He says. Then he shouts over to Shantelle, "Yo, get another for Nina." Shantelle smiles and walks over, carrying three lemonades. I drink mine and continue talking to Daniel and Shantelle. I notice Daniel's beauty. Periwinkle coloured eyes, and ruffled light brown hair (with a high top haircut) and smooth skin. His eyes are very pretty. But it's not just the colour, but it's also the way they have a dark outline, highlighting the blue. He notices me staring and blushes bright red. So do I. I actually really like him. By the time the party is over I notice it is actually quite a boring party, so I head off home, completely forgetting about Chris. When my head hits the pillow, I'm about to fall asleep the my phone beeps. It's a message from Daniel. I had completely forgotten that we had exchanged numbers.

Daniel: Hey.. Thnx 4 2nite. Hope all is well 4 u and Chris. Ur dress was nice. Lets catch up sum time soon. How bout Tues after skl?? We can go in2 town. U don't have 2 pay.
Daniel: sorry. I fink I'm drunk. don't be mentally disturbed by my mental ness. have a good nite.

Okay, he is weird when he is drunk.
How he got drunk, I don't know.
Then I fall asleep...

... This time, I'm in an empty white room. I'm all by myself, but then I see mirrors. In one, I see Daniel, in another I see Mina, and in the last one I see myself. And then I hear a voice in my ear. "Choose one". I don't know what it means, so I just say Daniel. Then the other two mirrors shatter, and then I start cutting cuts on my arms, but I notice it's a list that says betrayers: Jamie-Leigh, Chris, Damien, Cara, Cleo and a few others that I've been quite close to. Then I see Mina lying there, very still.
