Default Title - Broken Path

The house party

Mikayla's POV:
The moment I was sure that Narnia was really fine, I got back into my car I'm parked in front of my house. I got down and hurried on inside for a quick shower after which I slumped onto my bed and breathed out a sigh of content, as I felt refreshed. I said as my roofing mindlessly as I thought of how the day turned out when I felt my phone vibrate from underneath my left arm. I check to see a message from Jason which immediately plastered a smile on my face. Somewhere in our chat, he invited me to a house party which was being hosted by one of his basketball friends, Karl. The party was to last 3 days, that's from Wednesday to Friday.
I rejected the invite at first but he refused to take no for an answer so I have read on the condition that Narnia was coming with me which he agreed. Seeing Narnia's mood today, I thought it's a good idea for her to have some fun to cheer up. Looking at the time it was 6:00 p.m. and I hadn't had supper yet and I still wanted to check up on Narnia. I checked through her window but she was nowhere in her room and I didn't hear her shower so I assumed she was out. I decided to let her be for now. I would tell her tomorrow and it was a Monday evening anyway, we had whole of Tuesday to prepare for the party. I ordered pizza for dinner since I felt too lazy to do any cooking.

   The next morning as we drove to school I informed Narnia about the party, she was reluctant about it at first but with a little persuasion from me, she agreed. Wednesday finally arrived and by 6:00 p.m. we were both ready for the party with me in a short red flurry dress, and a black built with some black and red heels and Narnia in your white knee fitting dress which complemented his skin colour and body shaped perfectly with black and white heels. She had her long black hair cascading down in it while mine was in a neat burn. "Girrll......you looking gorgeous", she complemented on seeing me. "Why, thank you mi amigo, you look marvellous", I replied with a bow leading is into fits of laughter.
    Nelson had borrowed haircut for tonight and mine was in for servicing so we have to board a taxi to the party. On reaching Karl's house, we were welcomed by Karl himself njc who to my utter surprise, introduced me as his girlfriend. The party was already in full saucing and Karl seemed to have taken quite an interest in Narnia. He went ahead to ask her for a dance, it took her a moment and a nudge from me before she went on with him to the dance floor. Jason and I followed suit and soon music was changed to a slow one making every couple on the dance floor including Jason and I to slow down. I looked over at Narnia and where is she and Karl had moved from the dance floor to one corner of the womb having a conversation.
     She looked happy so I just moved my attention back to Jason. "So you never planned on telling me I was your girlfriend", I muttered, breaking the silence between us. "Sorry about that, planned on asking you in a much different way but I couldn't help myself", he replied apologetically. "forgive me", he inquired. "Hmm..... depends, I might if you make it an official moment", I said teasingly. He cleared his throat and called for that tension of the crowd and ordering for the music to be lowered.  In a moment, all eyes we're focused on us as he asked the question. "Mikayla, please would you be my girlfriend??". "YES", I shouted out of sheer excitement as I hugged him tight. The music was put back on and everyone returned to their own matters after cheering and applauding us.
     "You are officially forgiven", I said putting my arms around his neck as we continued our dance. He smirked as he planted a kiss on my forehead. He later moved to the bar and I ordered a cocktail but Jason excused himself to the bathroom I thought of this as my chance to check up on Narnia but she was nowhere in sight.

Narnia's POV:
On arriving at the party, I felt a little nervous. I was in no way ready to see Jason again but I had to keep it together for Mikayla. Karl and Jason welcomed us to the party. I avoided eye contact with Jason at all cost and concentrated more on Karl who seemed to be interested in me. He asked me for a dance which I agreed to after a moment of thoughts and a nudge from Mikayla. She and Jason followed suit after Karl and I. Few minutes of dancing and the music changed to a slow song, all couples slow danced to it but Karl and I decided to have a little chat so we moved off the dance floor to one corner of the room where we talked about ourselves and random stuff. Later, the music stopped and I saw Jason publicly ask Mikayla to be his official girlfriend which she happily accepted and they hugged it out as the music returned. I excused myself to the bathroom and out to the balcony for some fresh air.
"Hey", I turned back to see Jason. "Can you stop doing that", I asked him somewhat annoyingly. "Doing what?", He asked, looking perplexed. "Appearing out of nowhere and startling me", I replied angrily. "Oops, sorry about that, it......uh just keeps happening", he replied sounding unbothered. "Yeah sure". I muttered to myself. "What was that?", He asked upon hearing me.
    "Nothing", I replied not wanting to repeat myself.
"What's up with you, you should be happy for Mikayla instead of standing out here feeling all sad and lonely", he said coming to stand right beside me. "Well, sorry to disappoint you but I'm not sad neither do I feel lonely", I retorted rather calmly.
  "You know I didn't want things turning out this way", he muttered. "I already told you I'm fine okay". I replied my voice breaking at the end as the tears I've kept inside started to flow freely down my cheeks. I just couldn't hold them in any longer any longer.
        "Hey, hey, it's okay. Everything's gonna turn out just fine, please don't cry........sshh.....sshhh". He consoled me with his arms around me and my head on his chest as he parted me on the back. A few minutes later, I ceased sobbing and he finally let me go which was a dismay today's stubborn part of me which refuses to let him go. "You okay now?", He asked with concern lacing his voice. "Yeah", I replied between sniffs. "Sure?", He asked. I nodded my head to assure him that I was actually okay. He handed me a tissue to clean my face after which I thanked him. One of the guys called for him with the setting up of some sort of games. He excused himself and left while I rushed off to the bathroom to wash my face to make sure no one notices that I was ever in the state of sobbing. Returning from the bathroom, I met Mikayla who looked somehow frustrated but relieved when she saw me. I guessed she was looking for me.
"Where have you been?", I've been looking for you for quite a while now". She asked the moment she was at ears shot. "Umm..... I just went out for some fresh air", I replied nonchalantly. "Okay, then, there's a game and I want us to participate, please don't say no". She requested with a pleading looking. "Okay, okay, fine, but just one round okay". "Thanks", she replied with a smile and dragged me to join the game. Turns out the game was "5 minutes in heaven".
