CH.31 SO MEAN

"which one should I wear, the blue or the red one?" Adrea asked me to help her picking her gown, "the red one" I pointed, "I knew it" she laughed, "and what are you wearing?" she put her gown on, the maid help zipping it, "I'll be in my nightwear" I'm not joking, "no you will be in the purple gown right there" I saw the dress and wanted to ball my eyes out again.

Adrea saw my expression, "Hey!! don't you dare" she grabbed my face, "you will not cry today or tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Do you hear me?" I nods, we get ready and it's almost midnight.

We walked down the stairs like a fucking princess, "You two look amazing!!!" Vivian fixed my hair, "thank you" I smiled, everyone was in the ballroom, everything was almost the same as last time but a person was missing, my favorite person.

I sat down next to Roby, "HEY!!! haven't heard from you since the last time you hung up my call" she mumble, I glance at her, "yeah you annoying ass" She laughed, the maid brought us our drinks, they kept asking me why I'm so dead, what did you expect, you expect me to be laughing and dancing on the dance floor?

A gentleman went up to me, "can I have this dance?" I looked at him and gave a cute smile, "no asshoe FUCK OFF!!!" I yelled, Adrea hold in her laughter, the man raise his hands up in surrender, "can't you not?" she giggled, "I hate man" I almost gaged saying the word.

Gomez announce his speech, we all sat at our table. After the speech, he asked us to be on the dance floor, Adrea went with a blonde girl I assume maybe her new girlfriend, Kath's with her husband, Roby asked me if I'd love to dance with her but I refused, Vivian's with Gomez. The music was so loud, I can't stay for any longer, I miss her.

I went to the bar counter and I remembered what she said to me last time, I shake away the thoughts and run 6 shots of tequila in a roll, a woman came up next to me, I didn't even look at her, "another 4 please" it started to kick in, "I'll have the same" she said to the bartender.

"what's your name pretty" she asked, "Violet" I don't feel like talking, "Violet?", "Violet Venable" I play my glass, "beautiful", "thank you but can you leave me alone? I'm not in the mood to talk" I drown another shot in, "when did you get so mean, Violet?" she laughed, "are you my mom?" I said annoyed, just fuck off already.

"no... but don't you love calling me mommy?" that's when her voice changed, I finally turned to face her.
