The Right Place - Jenna Ortega x Female Reader

BIRTHDAY FROM HELL

y/n POV

The room was still, cold temperatures slithered their way in and traced my skin. After coming home from the coffee house I went straight to bed and cried, I must have fallen asleep. Looking to my right I witnessed a mistake.. the window was open. That's why it was so cool in here. Dashing to close it and pull over the sheer white curtains, Sasha called to me.

"are you awake now dummy? it's almost 8pm!"
Ugh I felt like shit. I didn't want to talk to her, I cant believe she was 'friends' with the guy who ruined such a fragile period of my life. I walked to the bathroom to splash water on my face when I noticed how red it is. Massaging my cheeks I let out a groan. I had such high hopes for my birthday, because I at least knew I had Jenna. Even if she wasn't here to celebrate, it would have been my first celebration with someone who really cared about me as more than a friend, but that all changed with a single announcement.

How could she do that? She doesn't even like him like that.. or so I thought. i'm always such a fool in hoping. Well.. she made her decision so I guess it's time for me to forget about it.

*KNOCK KNOCK*
"hey, i'm not going to ask to come in because i'm already doing it" Sasha said as she met me in the bathroom
"With respect.. you're the last person I want to see right now" turning on the tap I finally splash my face with water. She hands me a towel to dry it off.
"i'm sorry, about what happened. you must be crushed." she followed me as I walked out of the room.
"that's an understatement.." I scoffed.
"let's go out tonight, like for real. let me take you out. I cant have you sit in here crying all night" Sasha started to pick out clothes for me to wear.
"I don't know.. I don't want to make any stupid decisions before I talk to her" my eyes followed the direction of the clothes landing on the bed
"she made her bed y/n. just let me take you out"
deeply sighing I sat on my bed and ran my hands through my hair.

An hour later I was ready. I agreed to go. There has been so many times where I want to text her but i kept stopping myself. Just yesterday she was telling me how much she missed me, and now she's with him? I don't know what to believe.

"ooo you look spicy mama! the red and black combo suits you" Sasha looked me up and down in the door way as we were about to leave.
"you don't look so bad yourself"
After getting in the uber we arrived at Gold Ruby, I presumed it was a club just from the exterior.
"hey there, you girls looking to get in?" a man about to get in line voiced
"duh! if this isn't the hottest nightclub in town" Sasha said to him as she placed a hand on his shoulder
"I got you, follow me"

This stranger took us to the front of the line and straight past the bouncer. I already don't have the best gut feeling about this.

"My name is Jack, it's nice to meet you both"
He offers his hand and instead Sasha goes in for a kiss on the cheek. I follow through with the handshake
"i'm Sasha, this is y/n" we got to a small booth, on the top level of the club. The music was pumping and there were people everywhere. Dark sensual lighting set the mood, the purple was my favorite. Jack disappeared, I presume to get drinks. Ever since the incident I haven't been drawn to anything that is going to disassociate me from my current state of mind in reality. It's not for me. I sat on the couch beside Sasha and she pulled out a white bag. Looking over she offered some.

"no thanks, i'm good. you have fun though" I waved my hand in dismiss and relaxed back into the red velvet couch. It was comfortable and I was feeling good. Apart from the fact I wasn't drinking or on anything else I was still enjoying myself.

Jack persuaded me to get up and dance, it felt nice and I loosened up abit.
"you have really beautiful eyes" he shouted toward me over the loud music
"thank you!" I smile at him.
My feet started to hurt to I went to sit back down. I opened my phone and instantly regretted it. When instagram launched, the first photo to pop up was Jenna and Percy. I feel sick. A tear starts to glide down my face and my chest begins to tighten. I cant do this here.

"you gotta let her go.." Sasha leaned over to me.
"my whole body physically hurts" I admit to her. She gestures the white bag to me again. I know this is going to be a mistake but I need something i'm familiar with to numb the pain. Carefully, she gets her key and scoops a small amount onto it, holding the object up to my nose. I close my eyes and fuel my body with the poison.
"yes girl!!! finally! let loose!" Sasha hugs me on the side.
"let's dance" I took her hand and walked her to the dance floor.

"well well this time it wasn't my problem" my eyes shot open, immediately recognizing who said that.
"Dylan! you came!" the black haired girl struts her way over to him and engulfs him in a hug.
This has got to be one of the worst birthdays ever.

Several hours pass and i'm exhausted. The club smells heavily of alcohol and sweaty people, I just wanted my bed.
