After The Dinner Party

Susan's Delusions

(Susan is standing in the front of the picture)

Susan contained to get ready with Kit. Kit seemed to really like Susan, ew. Like seriously, did she not know I was with him? I guess not. Susan is literally delusional, she thinks he's proposing-? Jesus Christ. Part of me mocked her in my own thoughts and the other half was seriously worried. Susan left around 6:30. Just in time. And Robert showed up exactly at 6:45 like he said he would.

I somehow had time to get ready before he showed up. I wore a black satin gown and I left my hair down like usual, just like Robert wanted it to be.

I walked out of my house and hopped into the carriage, the same one as before with a closed top.

"Right on time." I said, smiling.

"Obviously." He said, smiling back.

Okay okay maybe I don't have to worry. He doesn't seem to be losing interest, but I don't exactly know how long ago he began to have interest in me. I didn't know about any of this until yesterday. So I guess things could change at any moment.

Finally, we arrived at the ball. I immediately looked around for Susan, and there she was. Her shiny brown hair up with some strands of curls down, just like how I tried to do my hair. This time she wore a light green dress though. I'm used to the pink dress. I immediately saw Kit and ran over to her while Robert was hanging up his coat.

"there she is!" Kit said, happy to see me.

"Hey Kit, what have you been up too?"

"Susan's over there chatting with her boyfriends mom." Kit said.

"Boyfriends???" I blurted out.

"Well soon to me boyfriend. I don't see why anyone would reject her."

Susan ran over to Kit as Robert was walking in. "Kit that's him over there, the one walking in."

Kit immediately gave me a look, I squinted at her and mouthed "you see why I don't like her now?

Kit looked up at Susan. "you sure you like him."

"of course I do." Said Susan smiling.

My blood was boiling, and the butterflies in my stomach made me feel sick. My anxiety was literally so fucking high, I felt dizzy.

"Kit he's walking over here!" Susan said excited. But her smiled faded when Robert stood next to me instead of walking over to her.

"Hello Robert." She said, trying to act all prim and proper.

He fake smiled at her and looked around for his mother, she was already walking over.

"Robie! I see you're taking to Susan."

This bitch, I can't. Like I'm standing right here.

"Who's this?" His mother said, giving me a look.

Susan was death staring me, as Kit just stood there, not knowing what was going to happen.

"This is the woman I told you about Mother." Said Robert, placing his arm around me.

..."you bitch!" Susan yelled.

I started laughing as I looked over to her, "excuse me?"

"yeah what was that?" Robert asked her.

Roberts mother looked pissed off. "Robie do not raise your voice. Susan is a very well mannered young lady-"

I interrupted "WELL MANNERED?"

Robert tried to calm me down.

Kit was watching the drama unfold like it was some book she was reading or play she was watching.

"You're seeing her?" Susan asked.

"You're seeing him?" Roberts mother asked.

"You're fighting over the same guy?!" Kit yelled.

"STAY OUT OF THIS KIT!" I yelled.

"No, I'm so interested in this." Kit said, picking up my wine glass from the table and going to take a sip. Susan immediately took the glass from her, looked down at it. And then threw the glass of wine onto me. Basically drenching the top of my dress and hair.

"Susan settle down." Robert's mother said, putting her arm on her shoulder.

"Why are you on her side?" Robert asked.

"Because she's right for you, we all know it. Even the other woman." Said Roberts Mother.

"THE OTHER WOMAN?" I yelled.

Susan crossed her arms. "What if I told you I've been going out with Robert this whole time? Hm?"

"that's not-" Robert began to explain.

But I inerupted, "You lying bitch-" and slapped her across the face. The entire crowd was watching us now. We were fighting like little girls. She took her earrings out and I tucked my hair behind my ears. I also took my heels off, kicking one to the side and holding the other up.

"What are you gonna hit me with your shoe?" She said.

"try me." I said.

"oooooo" said Kit, enjoying the "show"

"Shut up Kit." I said.

Kit watched me and Susan bicker back and forth. But then she suddenly yelled

"STOP IT!" and ran away crying.

I put the shoe down. Robert decided to run after her, I followed.

We looked all over for Kit, but we couldn't find her anywhere.

"KIT???" I yelled.

Where did she go.
