Chapter 11 But It Wasn't A Joke... Right?
I faked a smile through the whole party, watching everyone have a good time, when all I could think about was "Where the fuck was Phil?" and "Has he forgotten about me already?" I said my goodbyes, whilst everyone left, Danielle offered for me to go round to her place tonight. "Yeah, i'll be round at 10: alright? I just need to get my over night bag, put my presents in my room and if Phil's there.. Ignore him." I smiled, Danielle nodded as she walked to her car. I took my presents and put them in the passenger seat of my car. Dan said I could drive it home since he's staying at Sophie's for the night. I drove back to the appartment block and parked the black Corolla in the underground carpark garage. I quickly hurried upstairs, taking the elevator. I got up onto the twenty third floor and then rushed to the apartment door with all the presents in one hand, and keys in the other. I opened the door, rushing in, my heels making it hard to jog. Thats when I saw something which made my heart drop. Phil was sitting on the kitchen counter, with a blonde, small, chubby girl who was barely clothed on his lap. I quickly ran into my bedroom, pulled out my dark red & black satchet and filled it with a pair of skinny jeans, socks, black converse, a christmas themed sweater, hairbrush, deoderant & iphone charger. I quickly unstrapped my wedges then hitched the satchel over my shoulders still wearing my dress, with my hair, makeup & nails done. I hurried out, Phil noticed. "Rachael!" He yelped, pushing the blonde off of his lap and walking towards me. I ran out of the flat, down the hallway. I heard Phil's voice and footsteps echo behind me. "Rachael! I can explain." I stopped at the elevator and continueously pressed the down button. I was barefoot, standing in a hallway in a dress with a boy following me. Phil caught up, "Rachael wait.." He sighed, grabbing hold of one of my hands lightly. I pulled away. "Who was she?" I tried not to tear up, "Wait let me start off with the most important question Phil." Anger boiled up inside me now. "Where the fuck were you?! I was wating for you the whole night! Dan, Chris & Pj followed me into the bathrooms where I cried for what felt like hours. My 18th birthday party and my own boyfriend wasn't there! Instead he was with some Feeling the love Phil.." By this time, the hot tears were trickling down my face and the elevator door opened. I stepped in and pressed the ground floor button. Phil just stood there, looking terrible, like he was about to burst into tears. I hope we was. "Goodbye Phil, selfish bastard." I waved, as the doors shut. I kept my tears in, waiting for the elevator to arrive to a stop. The doors opened and I rushed to my car jumping in.
I arrived at Danielle's town house she shared with her boyfriend Liam, I jumped out. Liam's car wasn't home, he must still be at work. I jumped out and walked to the door then rung the doorbell. Danielle opened the door, "Rachael!" She put her arm around me then pulled me into the loungeroom. I placed my bag next to the sofa then sit down. She wrapped her arms around me, lovingly, like a bestfriend should. "Let it out baby. It's not good holding back tears. I'm here for you, Phil's an idiot for not coming." I sniffed, "You know what's the worst thing? When I went into get my stuff, he had some blonde, chubby bimbo with him!" A look of discust grew on Danielle's face, that's when the tears began to run out of my eyes.
