Lovesick and Psycho

Chapter One | Lovesick and Pyscho

tw: a bit sexual, alcohol talk

Everything was a blur in the moment, I couldn't hear anything over the loud, disoriented music. I didn't think I had that much to drink, but apparently I was wrong. I decided to go onto the dance floor because I knew I'd have to catch a ride home soon, so, might as well have some fun.

I was dancing through the crowd when all the sudden, I felt someone grab onto my waist from behind. I didn't know who it was, nor did I care. I was super cross-faded, so I could care less. I knew just by the touch that it was a woman. I didn't know what I was doing, but things got out of hand.

"Hey, let's go into the bathroom!" She shouted over the music. I couldn't speak, but I nodded and followed her to the bathroom.

As soon as we closed the door behind us, she shoved me into the big stall and started making out with me, grinding against me while I was pressed against the wall. My vision and some senses were starting to come back.

Everything was still a blur, but I could hear the music more clearly. The woman standing in front of me was wearing a red dress. A silk one. She had long dark hair, curly. Finally, a beautiful golden necklace. It was golden and decorated with rubies, I noticed the letter "S" engraved on the necklace. That necklace was the only thing I could never mistake for anything else. Everything about this mysterious woman was so vague, but I just knew she was gorgeous.

One second we were making out in the stall, but the next second I was dizzy and things were becoming a blur again. Suddenly I couldn't even stand up straight. I felt myself hit the floor. "shit," I muttered, before blacking out on the cold tile floor.

I woke up the next morning, super confused. I had a really bad headache, but I woke up in my dorm like usual.

"Ez??" I called, hoping for an answer.

"Hey, dumbass. You're finally awake." He said as he walked into my room.

"What happened last night??" I asked.

"After you didn't answer my calls I went down to the club and found you passed out on the floor. I knew you were stupid but I didn't know you were that stupid, Lynn." He replied.

"Bro, I had the craziest dream though. I was at the club and this woman, she.." I paused, thinking of what to say. "God, she was beautiful. That's all I can describe of her." I said to him.

"Damn, yeah, sorry to break it to you, but that'll only happen in your dreams." Ezra said teasingly.

"Dork." I said in retaliation.

I walked out of the dorm because I wanted to go out for breakfast, when I saw an envelope sticking to our door. I opened it and it read,

"Party at my dorm tomorrow night!! Room 213. -Scarlett Ellington"

"hm, interesting." I thought to myself. "Hey Ez! There's a party going on tomorrow night. Wanna go?" I asked him.

"Sure. We need to get out more anyways." he said and laughed.

The next day, 1 hour before the party

"Dude, hurry up! I understand waiting till the last minute but you haven't even showered yet!" I shouted across the dorm.

"It's not my fault!! I didn't know we only had an hour till!" He shouted back as he turns the shower on. I continued doing my makeup and then started curling my hair.

"Dude, where's my perfume??" I yell through the bathroom door.

"I don't fucking know??" He yells back. I can barely hear him, but I know what he said.

"Jesus Christ, this is why I don't go to parties!!" I yell as I pace around the dorm looking for my perfume. "Looking as hot as I am means nothing if I smell like shit!" I said to myself. I sat on the bed for a few minutes, thinking about where it could be, when Ezra walked out of the bathroom holding my perfume.

"Looking for this?" He said to me with a smile.

"Oh my god, you fucking savior." I said to him as I grabbed the perfume out of his hand.

"You're welcome??" He said to me.

"Come on, if you wanna make it in time we gotta go." I said as I dragged him out of the dorm and down the hall. When we got there, I double checked the invite. "Yep, 213." I said, then opening the door.

"Holy shit.." Ez said over the loud music. It wasn't as loud as it is at the club, because you could actually hear what people were saying. But this dorm, it was absolutely huge. "Who did you say the invite was from again??" Ezra asked me.

"Uhh, Scarlett Ellington?" I told him.

"THE WHO NOW??" He yelled. "Ellington?? As in THE Patrick Ellington?? Dude, he owns this building!" He said.

"Never heard of him. Oh well, we're here now. Let's go have some fun!" I dragged Ez onto the dance floor and we were having the time of our lives, till I saw someone. She had dark curly hair, and a black dress that hung just above her knees. When she turned around and faced me I couldn't believe my eyes. I was a thousand percent sure she was wearing that same necklace I saw in my dream. "No. Fucking. Way." I said to Ez.

"What??" He asked me, confused.

"Look, that girl. She's.. she's wearing the same necklace as the girl from my dream. Long dark hair and the exact same fucking necklace?? That can't be a fucking coincidence." I said to him, "Maybe it wasn't a dream."

"Ha, you wish. You probably just saw her at the club, your brain found her attractive, and boom! She was there. It's really that simple, Lynn." He said to me.

"Maybe you're right, maybe I am just lovesick and psycho." I said, disappointed. Just as I started to walk away, I heard heels click on the floor in my direction, then, I received a tap on the shoulder.

"Hey, wait!!" A familiar voice said to me.

"No fucking way.." I thought to myself. I spun around to meet eyes with the same woman I saw at the club. The same woman me and Ezra were just talking about.

"Sorry to sneak up on you, but you look kinda familiar. Is that just me??" She said and paused. "Actually, sorry, I'm probably just crazy. Forget I said anything."

"No, no, you look.. familiar, too. A lot like someone I had a dream about recently, actually." I said and laughed.

"Well that's ironic. What was the dream about??" She asked me.

"Oh my god, you'll call me crazy." I paused, "okay, okay, fine. It was at a club the other night," I started, and her eyes widened. "You good?" I asked her.

"Yeah, hah, what were you saying?" She said curiously.

"It all started as dancing, and things went a bit crazy." I said.

"Crazy like, 'bathroom stalls and blackout' crazy..?" She asked.

"Was that-" I stopped myself from saying it at first, but then continued. I looked at her and whispered, only loud enough that she could hear. "not a dream?" I asked.

"Either we're both crazy, or.. yeah." She whispered back.
