02 - party till you drop

After walking home in the rain from school I climb into my window trying to be as quiet as I can.

My jeans catch onto something and I knock my lamp onto the ground.

"AMELIA IS THAT YOU, DID YOU GET MY FUCKING BEER"

Oh shit.

"I was at school sorry dad..."

I can hear his footsteps getting louder and my heart starts racing.

I can't wait to move out next year.

My door gets pushed open and my dad comes storming inside.
"Useless bitch" he says pushing me onto the floor.
His breath smells like alcohol and his clothes look like they haven't been washed in days.

"When I tell you to get my fucking beer you get it."
A kick gets sent into my shoulder.

"Yes dad..."

"What I thought"

I watch as he walks out the door and I crumble into a ball crying.

When I finally make my way to the bathroom I can see a massive bruise forming on my shoulder.
How the fuck am I supposed to hide it?

I hear my phone vibrating on my bed and I tackle my duvet to find it.

"Hello?"

"Heyyy it's Ryan" the music behind his voice is booming and I can hear a few people talking

"Yes?"

"My party starts in 30 if you wanted to come by"

Anything would be better than staying in this house.

"yeah I'll drop by"

"awesome I'll see you soon"

I dig through my wardrobe looking for something to wear.

"Oh fudge Jade!"

I ring Jade up to ask her if she wants to come but remember she's in her book club right now.

Looks like I'm going on my own.

I grab my black mini skirt and throw my sweater over top to hide the bruise. I'm not going to take my sweater off so I don't really need a shirt, do I?

I put my black boots on and climb out the window.

Ryan's house should only be 10 minutes away.

I see loads of cars and lights which point me in the direction.

Walking through the door there are people playing beer pong, making out, and dancing, it's not that bad of a party.

"Millie you made it!" Ryan says hugging me. "The drinks are over there, I just have to go talk to some people"

I smile and nod making my way over to the drinks.

Vodka, gin, bourbon, win, they really have everything.

I spot the beer bottles and grab one out.

"Amelia what are you doing here...?" oh god, Sadie.

"I was invited?" Sadie scoffs at me but then I see her eyes get distracted to behind me.

"Hey babe" You have to be shitting me.

I turn around to see Jake smiling at Sadie, wait. BABE? I almost burst out laughing but hide it with a snort. Actually, the snort was probably more embarrassing.

I need another drink.

One drink kinda turned into nine.

I get onto the table and start dancing wildly. People are cheering and start to dance with me.
