Water Tower

Chapter 14

"So, Calum said there is this really cool club down the road." Lauren says walking into my room.

"Yes! Something I really need!" I say, walking over to the bathroom. I look in the mirror at my cheek. It's still kind of red, but it's slowly going away.

"Does it hurt? I can go get you some ice for it." Kaitlyn says, coming into the bathroom.

"No, I'm good." I say.

"You're taking this better than I thought." Lauren says.

"Can't let him have that satisfaction of him having an effect on me." I say, smiling. Deep down, I feel like shit honestly, but I'm strong, and I don't need to have a boy make me feel like the world is ending and crumbling down.

"God, you need to write a book." Kaitlyn says.

"It would be a great book." Lauren says, laughing.

"It would be pretty incredible." I say, searching my bags for something to wear. "Do you know where, um, he went?" I asked, picking up one of his shirts that he left. I throw it back into my bag.

"Not for sure. I think he called Ashton tho and told him to tell you he is sorry." Lauren says.

I laugh dryly, "Ha! He shouldn't have been a dick in the first place. If he was really sorry, he wouldn't-" I stop myself, "Stop Amanda." I say, trying to calm myself down. I finally found the outfit I was looking for and turn to Kaitlyn and Lauren. "I'll be in the shower if anyone needs me." I say, walking over towards the bathroom and close the door.

"Wow, you look hot." Calum says.

"Why, thank you Calum." I smile. I look into the mirror in the hallway and look at myself. I'm glad I decided to pack the black dress I had. I smile at my appearance and walk over to everyone else.

"Is everyone ready?" Calum asks.

"Yeah, I think we're all ready. Let's go have a fun fucking night!" Luke yells, running out the door.

"Kaitlyn, you may need to control your man." I say, laughing.

"I really need to, but he looks hot when he is crazy, so I'm just gonna let him go." She laughs. Calum said to save on gas, we'll all just walk. It feels like we've been walking for hours. I really shouldn't have worn the heels, but I'll suffer through the pain. I'm already suffering through so much. The guard let's us by, cause he knew Calum.

"Everyone enjoy yourself." Calum says. He leans over towards me and whispers in my ear, "Get yourself plastered." He smiles and walks away. I walk behind Lauren and Kaitlyn.

"What did Calum say?" Kaitlyn asked.

"Told me to get plastered." I say, ordering a shot of vodka.

"Damn, you're definitely taking his advice." Lauren laughs.

"You know it." I say, asking for another one.

I've lost count of the amount of shots I've had and how many drinks people have bought me, but I really don't care.

"Thisssss isss the bessstttt nighttt everrr!" I slur.

"I bet it is." Kaitlyn says, trying to keep me up.

"Oh shit." I hear Lauren says.

"What's theee matteerrr?" I ask.

"Um, nothing." She says, leaning over and whispering something into Kaitlyn's ear. I see Kaitlyn look over across the room and I follow her gaze. Over on the floor, I see Michael with Amber.
